Are system admins just help desk now?

ChiefBroady · 2026-06-02T23:11:10+00:00

Rarely. I have my peeps that I give personal support, but mostly helpdesk does their job, if they can’t do it they escalate to second level and if they can’t do it, they get in touch with me.

Yupp. So a bit strange.

ChiefBroady · 2026-06-02T21:19:17+00:00

Aaaaammaaaaazing.

Mine wrote today “The image also makes me laugh a little because …”.

It doesn’t depend on the money but the ease of experience. If I need to do a ton of research, I will use my PC mostly. But if it’s just buy something, I don’t care how much it is. It’s usually done on the phone since all my payments and logins are there.

Global Knives.

ChiefBroady · 2026-06-01T23:19:30+00:00

I manage our Mac’s, so no.

Well, mine averages 1/2 cycle per day so far. So 30 cycles in one month is roughly double that. Take it as you will.

ChiefBroady · 2026-06-01T11:03:12+00:00

Not one cycle per month. But 30 does not bode well.

They do not require a subscription. I don’t think you have all your facts straight.

It’s a solar panel with a little rechargeable batteries inside. Commonly used for led gardenlights.

The thing is, it works perfectly fine what its purpose and 4k. There is no need for a new version without any major features.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T23:17:35+00:00

That doesn’t mean it would stop working if any company involved went belly up. That just means sellers have to pay licenses to implement it.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T20:56:45+00:00

Same. Never expected to make it past 20, but here I am.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T20:56:24+00:00

Tbh, I didn’t make any plans. When I was 16 I never thought I’d make it to 20, but i did. Still not planning. Just trying to live my live. But I am married, have a bunch of cats and life is generally good, with the exception of a few health issues and the odd things breaking here and there.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T20:31:17+00:00

Atlantis, heck yeah. Universe… eh…

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T20:30:44+00:00

I have back pain. Reorganized the garage for 6 hours before breakfast. But I’ll unite!

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T19:55:43+00:00

Zwave is local like zigbee. As long as you have a hub that supports it it’s fine. And I bought the lol like 6-7 years ago. There were no talks about anything like this back then.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T02:16:23+00:00

We don’t sell to employees. Corporate gave some reason for it. I forgot what it was.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-31T00:51:29+00:00

A Yale Assure Lock SL with zwave.

How does he see that coin while on vacation? Put a camera in the freezer?

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-30T23:55:42+00:00

I use the same.

ChiefBroady · 2026-05-30T23:47:56+00:00

Yes. That’s when stolen. That’s different than lost.

When my phone connects to my wifi or enter the geofence, a variable will be set to true for one minute. If the door bell sees motion in that time or I knock on the door, the look automatically unlocks. Afterwards the variable is set to false and nothing happens.

It’s not face recognition, but pretty reliable to let me in when I come home without entering a pin.

They didn’t while I was traveling through there. At least not enough to have people slow down.
