A guy in my office accidentally removed the fibre cable from a critical bank server and we spent hours pinging and call coming in until i happened to check the back and noticed the cable lying on the ground.

That's brilliant! 🤣

That's why we shouldn't work on IAs because the smartest thing and the best to do is erasing mankind from history.

Yes, yes, yes! Lol.

Awesome

are you assuming I have enough money for a bent dollar?

H aha. My ex used to whine about my bag of cables until she needed one.

It totally is.

Being the inventor of something allows you to name it. It does not protect you from people pointing out how stupid the name is.

Kinship

That is a uniquely nerdy and effective way of getting to someone!

Every time baby. And mute it, too.

Also applies to new phone. Open the box, turn it on, switch to silent mode then move to other things

Until you work with other humans... there, I finally fixed it.

Too bad Musk doesn't feel the same way about democracy.

No. Absolutely not.

Well put!

Admin of course

IT placebo effect is real. I do something to fix the issue. Doesn't work. Husband does the exact same thing. Problem solved. 😒

if that's not the damn truth.....

Is that the same guy who made Windows11? I would love to have a little talk with him about ergonomy.

This can't be unseen!

It's true.

"Actually, you now have FOUR wishes."

I don't care what the 'new' definition says, a gigabyte is _not_ 1000 megabytes.

product manager and scrum master have to be the most useless positions in IT, if you're looking for a reason why your app has bugs, your game is unoptimised, with bugs, or it has an unjustified number of paid dlc, it's their fault. if someone introduces themselves as one of these, it's imperative that you slap them into the next dimension

And that's why I use Ubuntu (Linux).

For me it would be" We can sell all those Transformer dolls now".

I don't get it. Surely you have browser settings to automatically reopen all tabs from the last session?

My best buddy (SysAdmin / Network Admin / Database Admin) was once at a corporate function, and was introduced to a very high-level manager. She told him, "I don't remember hearing your name before." His reply: "Good - it means I'm doing my job right." She asked, "What do you mean?" He responded, "I'm an Admin. We're like the Shoemaker's Elves. If we do our job right, as far as everyone else is concerned, things just spontaneously happen, as if by magic. If Management knows our names, rest assured it's because *somebody* fouled something up somewhere." "I *see*," she replied, with a newfound respect.

I still have a PC with windows 7 running on it and I almost cry every time I use it because damn. Everything was so easy and clean. No cloud b******t, no apps. As it should be.

It all went to s**t after 95, the only thing I'd improve on is usb compatibility... Games came in boxes with manuals, you owned the games. No pay to win, everything was unlocked, no micro transactions.... Oh and win amp for your limewire collection...

I remember way back when people would wait in line when a new windows upgrade was coming out, that's when you had to buy a disk. Anyone remember windows ME and Vista?

In Windows 7, I could actually find where my files are.

windows 10 is a farce

I will tell my grandkids about windows 7 some day. Oh the stories. Kids, imagine an OS that JUST WORKS. You could even use it as a router, share an interface, reboot the computer and IT WAS STILL SHARED.

Windows 10 cured my addiction to microsoft and I've never been happier.

Yupp. Although W11 works OK...

No, no, the password is @dm1n

They said that 20 years ago too. Thanks to technology we work more, for relatively less pay than we did before technology came along to "help". Can we go back to 20 years ago instead?

Anybody remember their old slogan? It said "Don't be evil."

"Watch cat videos"

Time to get a new gf

There is a huge difference between jokes and lies. The biggest thing is that one of them are funny..

A company I worked for sent out an email about how amazing a manager was to give up his imminent, already paid for, holiday to travel overseas to watch the rugby world cup, to help with some issue at work. They gifted him a footy jersey. As an employee would expect, it did not go down well with fellow employees - much to the surprise of management!

"Until we find this ideal new-hire, we'll continue to over-work the heck out of all of our existing employees. Don't worry, sometimes we'll buy them a pizza or two!"

Almost unrelated, but how do I get rid of mcfee security? They were never invited, removed completely ans still pop up every time with s**t I didnt ask for. The irony is lost on them, but I need them gone from my "house"!!! eta Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions🥰

But you HAVE heard of me.

Wow, that’s a very user friendly explanation, I’ve been in IT for 15 years and working with computers and networking for more than 30.

Look. I know Macs kinda suck. But I just want to be able to upload photos for my assignments without downloading three different apps and selling my soul to the school district.

He smiles every time the big bad corporation sues a five-year-old kid for innocent breach thereof.

This hurts my brain. I always used to worry it would break even without this!

'cloud' 'ai' etc etc. Stupid buzz words that are already starting to backfire. 'someone else's computer/server farm's 'an algorithm'.
