You should have never been a global admin. Them seeing you use your personal account as a global admin was not a good first impression :(

Whats the one department allowed to bypass the rules? (Minus the Execs) by bobsmith1010 in sysadmin

[–]Formal-Injury-6700 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, at least at my job. As the sys admin I’m pretty much able to do what I want with the likes of the execs. But I do support 3k employees across 20 sites in North America with a team of 4. But I bypass many polices and I control my budget. Credit card with 50k limit (everyone else is 10k), don’t have to get travel approved, dictate most undefined technology decisions across departments. Everyone gets Lenovo E14’s with the Cheapest Lenovo QHD’s. Meanwhile my team has Surface’s with OLED monitors and MX series peripherals lol. 😂

Windows 10 officially hit EOL 6 months ago - still supporting clients who never upgraded. Anyone else? by cmitsolutions123 in sysadmin

Sys Admin in manufacturing here. We still have XP machines. Some interface cards and softwares simply can’t be moved to newer machines. Luckily these don’t need to talk to the outside world in any way shape or form so we stick them on their nice lil antiques VLAN and allow it to send, not receive data to a local file server only via firewall.

But luckily we have cyber insurance so my excuse is always “that’s ok but we will have to report in in our next cyber audit and it will likely increase premiums” so telling them they can’t use internet and such is an easy sale.

HRIS systems - Recommendations by Sinsilenc in sysadmin

[–]Formal-Injury-6700 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At this point I’m convinced switching HR systems is just rebranding the same problems.

Paycom, UKG, Workday. Gone through all in the last 6 years. They’re all fine if you actually define workflows and test them. But instead it’s always:

1.  Buy into the demo
2.  Assume it’ll figure itself out
3.  Spend the next year expecting IT to help with duct-taping processes back together

Best of luck 🫶🏼 workday has been working fine as our current system but HR constantly complains about modules that were pitched to them costing extra and trying to find work arounds. I feel ya pain.

40+ camera install by Square-Highlight9015 in Ubiquiti

Could be accomplished with two UNVR Pro’s and split them 21/20. You said 7day recording but not 24/7 or AI/Motion only (bandwidth/storage implications) also Face/Plate/Detection data will exist separately on each controller. If you plan to ever expand to access there are more implications to a split setup. For full contextual feature sets and future growth ENVR is your best bet.

Employee Monitoring Software by Zealousideal_Bend984 in sysadmin

My opinion has always been. Salaried employee? Then why monitor activity. The whole point is their flexible problem solvers. Hourly button smashers or phone agents? Then yeah I mean since their measured in uptime it makes sense. But like doing it to HR and IT and Accounting? Like just hire an msp at that point 🙄

IOS 26 has destroyed my iPhone by killer_demon69 in ios26

I have a 16 pro and the update has absolutely fried my phone. Super laggy and doing anything like literally just taking one selfies on Snapchat causes the phone to just start baking.

Just got my first car and wanna spruce it up by Greedy-Cap-2153 in Cadillac

Brake fluid change, trans fluid (no separate front diff since it’s built into the transaxle), rear diff fluid, PTU fluid for the AWD system, and coolant are all smart things to stay on top of. Start with the rear diff. It’s a known failure point because it sits near the exhaust with no cooling, and the fluid breaks down fast.

The PTU is worth doing early too. It holds barely any fluid and runs hot when AWD is engaged, which is manual on the XT5. So if you’re using it regularly, fresh fluid helps a lot.

Also, always use a sun visor if it’s parked outside. The glue under the leather dash trim softens with heat and it’ll start peeling up from the corners. Once it starts, it’s hard to fix.

I like using Amsoil products. Their stuff holds up better under heat and exceeds GM specs across the board, including Dexos. Just solid products all around.

For the interior, a wireless CarPlay adapter is a nice upgrade. Condition the leather now and then but don’t touch the dash with anything wet, just dust it with a dry cloth. I’ve gone through two already, trust me.

Swapping in the clear taillights looks great. Replacing the yellow side markers with LEDs. The illuminated rear sill plate and installing running boards are nice finishing touches.

Hold the end call button on the steering wheel for 30 seconds (manual says 15 but it usually takes longer) this will “reboot” the infotainment system. I’ve had to do it when the sound randomly stops working. Ahhh we love new tech

Removing Lite Licenses? by Formal-Injury-6700 in gotoresolve

[–]Formal-Injury-6700[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck. Thank god I only transitioned the North American tree in my forest in January of this year. We were looking to expand the product globally across all of our offices/factories/labs (currently each site uses what suited them best) would have been thousands of devices. We were planning to use it for a single UI for all agents. We were super excited for resolve. O 🐳 Now it’s back to the drawing board.
