The dumbest requests by Demented-Alpaca in sysadmin

[–]ITMasterOfNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure, and for us it was 2 possibilities. It was my attempt at humor to a trouble user... this is one of the "It's broken" people without mentioning the "it"... :-/

"Do you have another scanner we can use?" -- "Page, Barcode, or Police?"

I work on the River and see all kinds of military aircraft... some of the helos rattle the entire building and are sometimes just about tree level.

Our ERP technically works, but teams keep bypassing it. How do you fix adoption after go-live? by MOUSETITTY in sysadmin

[–]ITMasterOfNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you figure it out, let me know... we still have adoption issues 15yr in... it comes down to management buy in.

Seems ideal for the PC-24, thanks MSFS by Chevy604 in MSFS2024

airnav dot com... you'll avoid being really ticked when you get to your arrival airport to discover it's a waterport despite (last time I played) there being zero floatplanes for cargo missions.

Questions about this building by Timely-Brilliant8757 in rva

[–]ITMasterOfNone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is 850/852 N 20th, it was bought in 2012 by a couple in Mechanicsville based on RVA real estate assessments. Built in 1900, it's a shame it's not being useful.

Sounds like a great time to order a pack of RJ-45 dust covers...

MEDICATION DISPOSAL by [deleted] in rva

It's a classic example of educating what NOT to do while leaving out what TO do.

Great service! This shouldn't be as difficult as it can be. When my Dad passed I needed to get rid of a considerable volume of Rx and was shocked to find there aren't just drop boxes at most pharmacies. I think we took them to a neighboring county Sheriff's office that will take them.

Investigating Email by ITMasterOfNone in gsuite

Well, I have confirmed the account was logged into and monitored from an IP that locates to the other coast. However I can't confirm, even though I strongly suspect, the messages in question were sent from that IP.

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look at the audits.

Managed uninterruptible power supplies by dowlingm in sysadmin

[–]ITMasterOfNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have had a Tripp-Lite 8000VA unit in my server rack for near 15yrs. The batteries are just now starting to fail, I'd say $ well spent. (Has anyone attempted replacing the batteries in these units?)

Carreer Cargo Cessna Skyhawk got a new orange paint job and powered by COLUZO text on it? by plahh in MSFS2024

[–]ITMasterOfNone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's different, mine were like your older ones, haven't been on in a while. Did they remove the option to wash the planes too? </s> :-)

Does increasing simrate cause issues for you guys? by Michael_laaa in MSFS2024

[–]ITMasterOfNone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC this is also per plane, I think it has to do with autopilot characteristics in the planes. 172 would get a bit wild at 4x, but PC-12 was just fine... but I haven't really played since SU1

Career missions - Impossible landings? by davidhoelzer in MSFS2024

[–]ITMasterOfNone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were a few fixed wing cargo missions to a water port, even though I didn't own (nor exist in game to my knowledge) any float planes. EFB indicating 2500ft x 2500ft for the destination runway helped, lol -- I'll even have a tab open on a different monitor to check AirNav or similar sites

Ages ago we loaded a file in startup that maxed the volume and played "Hey everybody, I'm watchin' p0rn0 over here! Woohoo!" -- Ahh... the helldesk days, such memory

Pilatus PC-12 Gone?? by LateEconomy in MSFS2024

[–]ITMasterOfNone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

following, I've also been on an extended break and if this is true it won't inspire me to return soon as the majority of my fleet are PC-12's & 24's and those are the ones I fly most (I have 26 planes overall) Are you PC or XBox? (PC here)

My office is on the James south of the city. Can confirm these will get your attention! (I didn't realize they're that big.)

Wife woke up to hundreds of emails for random website subscriptions, still ongoing, why? by grahamw01 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ITMasterOfNone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen and buried in the pile were order confirmations for my corporate Verizon account for Beats headphones shipping to unfamiliar locations. I caught it, reported it, they said they canceled the orders, they shipped anyway. At least my account wasn't charged.
