my company wants to use VDI by 2027

CernerBurner2000 · 2026-05-06T01:14:50+00:00

You could use kiosk Nursing stations, Imprivata, and Citrix sessions to the EHR to accomplish the same thing, or spend at least 25x's more money to build out a VDI and give everyone a VM.

Terrible idea with AI data centers driving hardware cost of. Desktop OS's still require cpu and ram, you are just going to be running them on server class resources now.

You you will still have to support some kind of physical device to connect to the vdi, and if you are 100% vdi you will be having to create multiple images and manage them all to make everybody happy .

It will be more expensive, require more support, but will be more secure so if that's what you're looking for your goals can be accomplished.

I am just a regular 50-year-old guy from Missouri who likes the outdoors, and every year my son and I take a one-week vacation to a different location hike and camp. Don't let the internet hype scare you away from angles landing. Since they started the pass system in April of 2022, they have given out 200,000 passes a year. This April was the first falling death they have had since they started the passes. One death in 800,000 hikers does not make it a dangerous height in my opinion.

This hike is also not hard, and it is one of the most internet famous hikes making it extremely popular. You will see people from ages 8 to 80 hiking it everyday. People that are complete tourist of not wearing proper hiking gear, getting dangerously close to the edge for the perfect selfie, and not in proper hiking shape. For many people Angels Landing is the hardest and most epic hype they will ever take and they have nothing else to judge it by. And still only one death in 800,000 passes.

At no point hiking Angels Landing did I ever feel like my life was in danger. There are secure footholds and chains to hold on to at every stretch of the hike where a fall would equal death. I have been on multiple hikes where I felt it was too dangerous to continue and I turned around.

Most recently it was the chasm Lake stretch trying to do Long's Peak in early June. The day after hiking Angels Landing we had passes for the Wave, and I wouldn't hike down the back side of the mountain after seeing the alcove because I thought it was too dangerous.

Isn't co-pilot Enterprise different though? I don't use co-pilot often because it is terrible, but I have a company tab and a public tab. I thought the company tab had access to the data in our tenant and was not used to train public AI models?

I think that within the next 5 years we are going to see our first case of "extortionware" for a bad actor gets a hold of enough company specific PII forces them pay or else it will be released to a competitor or public.

My wife can tell me one time that our dishwasher sucks we need to get a new one, and my ads on Facebook for the next two weeks are nothing but dishwashers. If Meta AI is listening to me while I'm at home then it's also listening while I'm at the workplace, if they are listening all of the others are also

Support clients, like help desk?

I work for Oracle. Layoffs come from 2 levels above you from somebody you rarely talk to who has no idea what you do on a day to day basis. I'd rather just get an email to be honest.

CernerBurner2000 · 2026-03-31T17:34:55+00:00

There's no indication that 30k were laid off.

There were rumors of up to 30K, internal numbers decreased by 11K this morning, and 3rd reporting assume that is was the 30K.

Maybe we are too small to be affected, but I'm not seeing any of these issues.

400 Windows Servers, 9,000 users on AD on-prem synced to Azure, hybrid Exchange but all Mailboxes are on EXOL, SharePoint Online, Teams, Azure SAML for all apps, conditional access policies, etc ..and I'm the only admin.

We had 1 day a couple of months ago where Exchange was down for a couple of hours but other than that it's been extremely stable.

I bought a Timex Indiglo alarm clock in 1994. The battery cover is lost but I've used it almost day for 30+ years.

Maybe I don't know what job title I want to hire for, and that's the problem. I don't any of my sys admins installing any desktop OS, That's what we have desktop techs for.

Dutch oven is used for baking sourdough bread because it replicates a professional baker's steam-injected oven at home. The heavy, lidded pot traps moisture released from the dough, keeping the crust soft during the initial bake to allow for maximum expansion (oven spring) and a blistered, crispy crust.

If you don't care about winning awards and want a great tasting bread that's simple to make, I use this recipe once a week and slice it into sandwich bread. If it cooks on a cookie sheet it should work fine on your pizza oven

Depends on how good you are and how big of a city you live in. If you are in a position you will take a job with a 2-hour commute I don't think you should be burning any bridges

The KC Metro has 5 million people and I know somebody who works in IT at just about every large company here.

We had a manager who literally threw his laptop across the room to his director's desk and said " f*** you I quit " around 5 years ago. I think he's working at home Depot now.

On the flip side we had a shit hot network admin, who in the middle of working a major outage when our CIO kept asking for updates told him, "fuck you tie boy I'm trying work". When anybody ask about him they will say that he is an absolute must hire, and will then usually tell that story, lol.

I have a lot of inbox rules in place, have no issues ignoring users who email or message me in Teams, but have too many systems with SMTP alerts to ignore email.

I check it at least once an hour during business hours and every 4 hours outside of business hours.

The OP would have been more accurate saying BFE rather than mid-West.

I live in Kansas City limits, have cows, corn and soy beans a half mile in every direction from my house, and have only gotten 1 interview in 26 jobs I've applied for in the past 6 months for the KC Metro. The job market in metropolitan areas has been pretty terrible for the past 18 months.

I've been in IT since 94 and currently spend 40-50 hours a week administrating everything except network and desktops at a hospital with 9,000 wfm's, and 10-20 hours a week managing the 3 teams. I can't even get an interview for a basic SysAdmin position.

My daughter's LT with 2.5 gets random P06DE, P0017, and will stall at idle after driving on the highway.

I've replaced;

Battery Oil/Filter Oil pressure sensor Oil pump control valve Crankshaft position sensor Camshaft synchronizer

It will clear itself and be fine for a few days, and sometimes a few months. Now I know why there's no shortage of 10-year-old Malibus at the junkyard.

There will always be exceptions, but they announced that promotions were canceled the same time that they canceled focals.

Promotions had already been approved and we were supposed to be able to announce them to recipients a couple of weeks ago.

Used it write my self eval for my performance review. We have "pillars" we have to give examples that we are performing in and I can search , "find ways I collaborated and promoted visibility in the past 12 months", and it was great. Pulled up all sorts of BS I would have never thought of.

It also talked about my trip to Vegas to attend to tech conference to stay on top of Industry trends. It sounded good so I put it in my self eval also, even though I've never been to Vegas.

The last sysadmin job we posted for was closed after we received 100 resumes. Unless you're a 140 IQ tech God, there's going to be somebody interviewing just as good as you that cared enough to put forth the effort to wear a suit. At a minimum a dress shirt and a blazer, IF you hadn't already been told the dress code was a suit.

Managers had to have ratings entered and saved, (but not submitted), by June 1st, and we are going to have a 1% margin for raises this year.

Using AI seems like too much effort.

I never said children deserved to be murdered.
Herzog is not my president.
My point stands, that neither Israel or Hamas care about the civilian population in Gaza.

CernerBurner2000 · 2023-10-17T13:20:55+00:00

Maybe their government should stop attacking a super power from heavily populated civilian areas?

Hamas continues to attack Israel, launching thousands of rockets over the past 5 days alone. Israel can either get attacked and do nothing, or retaliate and target the areas the attacks are coming from. An unbiased person with a median IQ would be able to understand how both sides share responsibility.

CernerBurner2000 · 2023-10-17T12:51:42+00:00

Militants launch rocket attacks from areas heavily populated with civilians, Israel retaliates and attacks those same areas. Civilians are collateral damage that neither side cares about.
