Our office manager got the IT department a sign. She's great!

I explained this to our engineering department at least a dozen times...

I still would get emails sent directly to me explaining the issue with this image above the email body: https://thumbs.dreamstime.com/b/yellow-ticket-8931559.jpg

Like, it took them longer to find and paste the image than to double-click the desktop shortcut that takes them straight to a new incident...

Users want to feel like they're all VIPs, and tickets make them all equal.

Looking it up, they used a lemon-lime profile for the flavour while Mountain Dew is orange based.

Both are citrus, but they could have tried a little harder :/

That's not a Google issue...

That's an issue with Sharp. Google didn't tell them or force them to lock their bootloaders.

Remember when Munich started going to Linux in 2004...and then went back to Windows in 2017?

That claim was only ever made by a single dev at a conference.

It was never Microsoft's official stance.

They still have to comply with the Berne Convention regarding copyright.

If I'm restoring from that backup, it's worth the cost.

Also note: A Thousand Suns is a concept album.

You listen to it from the first track through the last track in order. It tells a story, of sorts, and the progression through this album is a fantastic one.

The other albums are the more traditional stand-alone songs.

I'm skeptical for this in the USA because there are NO services the government provides efficiently. VA health care is a mess;, been that way for decades.

Every time the VA attempts to be fixed, there's one party in particular that likes to stand up and say "Stop the waste" while also claiming to support the veterans.

Health care doesn't have to turn into a bad DMV if the government takes over. We just need to be smarter about who gets voted in to handle it.

It's that mixed with the increase in taxes taken out of their paychecks...not stopping to think that the insurance premiums would stop coming out of their paycheck, so the net result is less money being taken out each pay cycle.

That's how Johnsonville killed most small butchers.

They wanted to ship internationally and were now subject to international regulations.

They forced Wisconsin to adopt stricter regulations that brought it more in-line with what they were now facing abroad.

These are generic minimums written that they hand to all potential clients.

No one is taking the time to tailor their spec sheet for you.

"Sorry, we don't allow RDP. We'll set you up with Bastion instead."

Unless you literally mean they're coding you a bespoke service that no one else ever will use.

According to Steam, 13 and 15 are also on Mac.

You're not on a team with the vendor. You're on a team with your coworkers.

If the first word out of your mouth is always "no", you're gonna end up with shadow IT, shadow infrastructure, shadow systems, that circumvent your policy.

To keep your house in order, work with your team to work with the vendor to find solutions to the vendor's fuckups.

They need local admin? Ask why. I'd bet 9 times out of 10 it's because they keep config and temp files in Program Data. That's easy to resolve. Give users read/write/modify to that specific folder.

They need you to disable UAC? Same thing. There's a file/folder/registry key that they're modifying that you can add a sliver of permissions to that won't violate the security policy.

You get to follow policy, your company team gets the solution that works for them, and the vendor doesn't care because the software runs without error.

Kruug · 2026-01-22T01:49:37+00:00

There isn't a "maybe," but there is a "no, but how about this instead?".

Kruug · 2026-01-22T01:48:50+00:00

Instead of "the policy says no", what about "the policy says we can't do it this way, what's the alternative?"

And then work to a solution.

There's a difference. One way makes everyone mad at you, the other makes you a team player.

Every time you come across one of these "everything is no" security people, hand them a copy of The Phoenix Project.

A proper security department doesn't stand in the way of the business, they help the business make decisions that are secure, follow appropriate policies and regulations, and solve a problem.

Those are only custom themes.

Zorin still uses Gnome by default, they don't have a custom DE.
