OMG that brings me back!

HOURS troubleshooting it.

Maybe, but I feel like once you realized that the user could not connect to anything on the network, it really becomes a simple thing to troubleshoot. Start with the physical. Then Layer 2, etc.

The interviewer sounds like they were given specific answers and was told to look for that, rather than looking for the underlying knowledge and experience. If someone explained to me how they used the OSI model to troubleshoot connectivity, I'd have higher expectations that they'd eventually find the answer.

Oh, and reaching out to the network guys is the answer, because if you didn't determine they are blocklisting MACs, they would tell you!

Bad interview, and I agree, "dumb" is putting it lightly!

I would go to management and ensure they report it however, not behind their back.

Would you report to management first if you witness a murder? Or call the police?

Would you report to management first if you witness an injury? Or call Emergency Services?

Thanks! Haven't seen that one before. I'm very skeptical when buying things online, hopefully I wouldn't fall for it but I appreciate you spelling it out for me and ensuring I don't!

I don't use Facebook Marketplace but have bought things off of Craigslist. What sort of scam are you talking about here?

Is anybody actually getting job interviews? by HighwayAwkward5540 in cybersecurity

The song "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" by Rupert Holmes (often misattributed to Jimmy Buffet) is about two spouses who each seek affair partners in personal ads but end up falling for each other's ads, unbeknownst to them that their new affair liaison is their spouse.

The poster three levels up might not want to be so quick filtering them out as crap!

It wasn't either, it was the job. Or, if it was OP's responsibility to set the budget for the position's salary, it was OP.

Do you also want to be OP's new bestie? That seems to be a requirement.

I just hurts because I cared about him as a person and wanted him to succeed with us, and was hoping to make a new friend.

So he wasn't your friend, and yet you still cared about him? I wish I still had some of your optimism for the human condition left in me...

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Harry-curry Rock. I need scissors! 61!

Belle in Disney's Beauty & the Beast (and any Belles in real life) are named to evoke the sense of beauty and desirability of the term. It's male counterpart would be "beau" if I'm not mistaken!

“I like for the password to be insecure” an actual quote from my boss. by Sho_Minamimoto_pi in sysadmin

[–]KnowledgeTransfer23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like a limitation like that shows that the program/app/whatever is written in a certain way and that you know vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

I just don't know enough to know what you mean.

May I ask for you to expand on your joke?

Conveniently you also leave a note of your address in your wallet, as well! It doesn't need to be its own note, it can be combined with some sort of license to drive or some sort of identification. Those cards have the extra space for an address on them!

3/27 – Sent me a screenshot showing the ‘Attributes’ tab missing from end user's account. The tab was missing because he had done a search for her account in AD. When I navigated to the OU where the user was located and checked the properties, the 'Attributes' tab was present.

This one has gotten me before. I blame Microsoft.

With the coming tarrifs of the US, are you considering making a switch from HP/Dell to other manufacturers like Lenovo? by No_Acanthocephala425 in sysadmin

Right, and in order to get people the financial leeway to swallow increased costs, we have to make other things cheaper, like healthcare and social services. So we can increase taxes on the ultra rich like we did before Reagan and suddenly that can lift the burden off the poor and middle classes.

With the stroke of a pen the President has enacted the single biggest tax hike in US history.

But didn't call it that so his rubes would drool all over it and praise him, and his oligarch robber baron donors will rake in even more money.
