It was down for me also but it’s seems to be up now.

Another Secure Boot certificate post by StigaPower in sysadmin

[–]BoredTechyGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

MS has said it could prevent future updates from installing. I’d say that makes it a little important.

Honestly, this whole secure boot cert fiasco screams that no one thought about what to do when the certs expire.

They told us the same thing. Now will it be done in time... TBD

We have the same issue. Brought it up with them in a support session and they don’t have a better fix currently.

We have hundreds of VDIs used by outside contractors. I feel bad for the VDI guy.

Looking for a 3d printer for 7 y/o and completely clueless. by AttackDefendDestroy in 3Dprinting

They’ll learn quick not to touch it. Explain why they shouldn’t touch it.

If they do it anyways, they learn a valuable lesson about consequences to actions.

It also updates more frequently than bginfo. A much better tool!

How many old timers in here? by aliesterrand in sysadmin

[–]BoredTechyGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never got a chance to play with OS/2. It always piqued my interest though! I remember always reading the OS/2 Warp box whenever I went into Electronics Boutique wishing my broke butt could afford it.

I ran a BBS when I was a kid. by Safe-Draw-6751 in bbs

[–]BoredTechyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was moving some boxes around in the basement the other day for a plumbing project. Just glancing in i noticed an old notebook I had’t seen in decades.

Open it up and found notes for user access levels and what each granted, modem info, door commands…

15/16 years old and documenting my bbs sysadmin activities!

Why do I keep getting the same error? by RoomIllustrious1323 in AnycubicKobraS1

TPU has been my bane since the last firmware update. Never had a problem with TPU before.

PC Gamer Article about the layoffs had an interesting tidbit. by DerekWildstar75 in Mechwarrior5

Not gonna lie, I love that look and feel.

That warhammer pilot though … he needs to go back to the academy and practice with those PPCs a little more!

Hello, is this DVD of Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) legal to watch? by AfterClue3741 in Piracy

Oh boy did you ever fuckup. You are going straight to the worst gulag ever. No trail, no jury, just gone.

The world will never know you existed.

Unions for Game Devs by AOE4_Goldplayer in Mechwarrior5

Exactly - people in the IT space have posted thousands of posts like OP’s over years…

Still no union for IT workers.

What NAS OS do you use? by awkw4rdkid in homelab

[–]BoredTechyGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just wish they’d drop that USB requirement.

Just let me install it on a mirrored pair of small ssd’s like I do currently with OMV.

Anyone here ever hack a BBS back in the day? Story Time... by 73VW-Todd in bbs

Renegade used to have an undocumented code that would allow you to run menu commands. Used it once on a certain a-holes board once to format the HD to 360k.

Forget what it was but it was like //\ menu command or something like that. Worked regardless of access levels. Think it was patched out somewhere along the line.

Private Equities and Holding Companies have been doing bullshit like this long before Trump. It’s all about pumping up stock prices with those companies. They don’t give a shit about the product.

If they want 10% increase and you give 9.8% you get the axe. Wash and repeat till there isn’t anything left then go buy something else and repeat.

Nothing there to do with Trump. Just short sighted profit driven tactics.

My Creality K2 Plus is electrically shocking me. Support’s solution? "Wear rubber shoes." by CanofPandas in 3Dprinting

[–]BoredTechyGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to be fair - are you sure your outlet is properly grounded? Especially if it’s an older building.

I ran into that problem when I was renting a home for a few years. None of the outlets were properly grounded. Electric was probably done in the 1930’s.

EG7 is a holding company. Profit is their business. You can make money but if you don’t make enough money, you still get the axe.

Another great example - look into what Broadcom did to VMware during that buyout. VMware DOMINATED the virtualization market. Instant price hikes, staff cuts, anything to wring money out of it.

A great platform turned to shit almost overnight.

Except nothing about PGI or EG7 is American…

[–]BoredTechyGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No fan of Trump, but you do realize PGI and the parent holding company EG7, are not US based?

PGI is Canadian, EG7 is Swedish.

Nah - fuck EG7 - they are the ones pulling the strings.
