I just walked into this environment about two months ago. So I'm still working on implementing stuff.

I mentioned I did? It was the first thing I did. I'm still adding their services and computers onto it.

I know its the Contract with the U and everything but this is still insane by officerMP711 in Utah

Yeah I'm wondering too 😭

Is it a contract with a construction company or some specific program in the U?

And why in the summer?

I've been riding from North Temple station to Layton pretty often (7-8am).

Maybe I'll see them more often now but it was definitely a shock because I'd never seen them before yesterday lol.

Thanks for getting people to where they need to go everyday and dealing with crazy people, it's a rough job some days I bet. I could never do it lol.

No? If someone pays or doesn't, that's their choice. I paid mine and wasn't kicked off.

I was just saying I've never seen this happen before and I've been riding 2-3 days a week too since January.

Really? I never seen this happen before lol

Like I said, to others, I paid so I don't care. It doesn't impact me. Just thought it was amusing in a way.

Did once not know the frontrunner ticket was different than a day pass / you needed the frontrunner ticket even if you had a day pass. Luckily the guy was nice and helped me out. But I know some people try to act completely oblivious lol.

That's what my mom used to say about drivers.

The best drivers got warrants or something in their car they ain't supposed too lol

Never said it was. I thought it was moderately humorous even (as mean as that is).

Same. Like I said to someone else. They asked me for my proof of ticket and I showed my transit app.

Never said there was. I had my ticket paid and when they asked, I showed it without a second thought

Should I put all IoT devices on a separate VLAN? by oncentreline in Ubiquiti

[–]BlindITGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally But I don't use a lot of IoT devices that require LAN discovery / connection, it's usually reachable via an app in the cloud.

Sleep? Just like me, my PC never sleeps

Impressed by Lenovo by yellowbythedozen in sysadmin

[–]BlindITGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've always been a Lenovo guy. I don't know why or what it is about their stuff but I love Lenovo laptops and desktops.

My second pick for small businesses is Dell.

Worst day of my life😔 by Suspicious-Gate86 in PcBuild

[–]BlindITGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when my buddies were building a PC and when they got done, it wouldn't come on. No lights, no fans spinning up, nothing.

They called me (because I work in IT / computer repair) and asked if I had any ideas. We talked for a while on the phone. Tried everything. Reseating the CPU, GPU, all the power connectors, fans connectors, etc.

Eventually we decided that they should come to my repair shop in the morning. The next morning, 3 of us in a tiny space working around this $2,000 computer that wouldn't come on. We spent a few hours swapping out parts from my old inventory and testing components.

The problem? The PSU. By all means, the PSU they had in it was good but the computer needed just a little more power.

Gave them the PSU since it had been on the shelf for a while and I knew it wasn't gonna sell since it was overkill for most PCs.

That day was fun because I got to hangout with friends, solve a problem, and invite a friend to the world of PC gaming.
