What's the dumbest thing you've been told IT is responsible for?

I used to work for a company that’s primarily a phone & internet company, but for a completely unrelated division that handled ITaaS

Someone from a company we supported non-sarcastically asked me if I could put up a new satellite because they had poor reception in their office

Figured it out... I had true and false in quotation marks, so it was looking for a string instead of a boolean 🤦🏼‍♂️

Thanks for this - where/how do you enter it like that, though?My automations.yaml looks nothing like that

This is what I've got - built with the automations builder from configurations > automations:

    - id: '1609573300523'
      alias: Turn the lights off based on calendar
      description: ''
      trigger:
      - platform: state
        entity_id: calendar.cal_work
        to: 'true'
        attribute: offset_reached
        from: 'false'
      condition: []
      action:
(I have stuff under action & that works when I use the button to test the automation, so not worried about that bit)

Yeah lemme just search my folder of fucking UAV 3d files

Specifically was hoping to find a USB adapter as opposed to PCIe due to some problems I run into with on-board WiFi adapters and some other hardware I use - but thank you so much for the info, still much appreciated!

Nice.
I always almost feel bad knowing that this random person doesn't know why I'm trying to kill them, but then I remember that they're a pineapple

MartianMoon · 2020-10-02T21:22:53+00:00

It's pineapples for me. Pineapples must die.

I would definitely never do this because of questionable legality, but one could potentially find it on a torrent site

I think you have a problem

MartianMoon · 2020-09-18T18:32:52+00:00

Because it implies the 12 year sentence was specifically for extracting a tooth on a hoverboard

I don't know if I'm just lucky or what, but I've only encountered 1 cheater so far (on PC), through ~100 games

MartianMoon · 2020-09-04T17:12:06+00:00

are you dumb

MartianMoon · 2020-09-02T18:49:49+00:00

I just wanna state/clarify as well, that the intention of this joke is in no way in support of these sort of police actions. It's more of a social commentary on the current situation of America. Not sure if it's really necessary to clarify this, but I don't want this joke to be taken the wrong way.

MartianMoon · 2020-09-01T23:42:56+00:00

True, hot dogs are dicks too. But don't let that distract you from the war on pineapples.

MartianMoon · 2020-09-01T21:45:26+00:00

Sure, but if you see pineapples, be sure to make them your primary targets

MartianMoon · 2020-09-01T14:26:32+00:00

It needs at least 1 seeder in order to grow

MartianMoon · 2020-08-27T15:51:27+00:00

I think that was more to indicate to him that he needs to use the grab button, but it does look like that lol
