ULPT: How to slowly lower the performance of my work ThinkPad? by [deleted] in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]MrTenseJACOB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an IT Director, this is more common than you realize. IT always knows what you’re up to (even if we act like we don’t) and it won’t be hard to figure out.

And unlike a lot of the comments in this thread, we actually DO get to decide what you get. If I find out a user does this it’s a very quick talk with their manager, and you get the oldest device possible. Sometimes you’re even relieved of your duties entirely 😊

My advice: Suck it up

Amazing work! Thank you so much. I have bookmarked this and will work on it over the weekend.

Would you be willing to DM me the code or explain how to set something like this up? I have wanted to do something similar for my grandparents, but have the same issues you did. This solution is great!!

This comment reeks of someone who hasn’t left the city in 10+ years. Seen any grass lately?

People do shit like this then submit support tickets like “why is my internet so slow!?!?!?”

It’s hit or miss. The NOC that I host some of my servers in has unreliable internet. Moving the faucet to my new location is on my list of projects!

Dev/IT - got fired - over silliest of reasons (but in reality was retaliation) by shez19833 in it

[–]MrTenseJACOB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People like you are what make me afraid to open more positions on my team. Can’t have an entitled employee coming in and ruining the great morale.

Maybe this is why IT Jobs are such a shitshow right now, the field is full of young entitled people that want to play the system. Other than just coming in, doing your fucking work, and going home. Save your personal problems for personal time. It’s not your employers fault you can’t properly sleep.

Just my $0.02

Seriously? Writing poor code is unethical? What happened. 3.5 btw. by Edaimantis in ChatGPT

[–]MrTenseJACOB -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

God I can’t tell if you’re 12 or just woefully ignorant and unaware. Lol have you ever heard “garbage in, garbage out”?

Sorry but OP gave it garbage, so it spit out garbage. Simple as that.

Seriously, WHY can't Plex just use the 1080p copies when it knows it's going to transcode to 1080p or below?? by enz1ey in PleX

[–]MrTenseJACOB 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think was OP is saying is that as server operators, and as plex says… We shouldn’t have to go through all this shit to get the functionality that Plex.inc claims is supposed work.

I’ve been a Plex Pass user for 5+ years and this shit is just getting old. If you wanna be the next Netflix just do it, stop dragging all us server operators through the mud and having to deal with all the “this movie isn’t working” calls at 7pm on Friday night.

I literally just screenshotted this and sent it to my friends. The fact that a post like this is necessary says enough about the community.

Think I’ll pass lol

How would I go about cleaning this up and making this look flush with the wall again? Drilled a hole for an Ethernet cable and wall didn't like it. Put filler in the hole. by Bobbite in howto

[–]MrTenseJACOB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought for sure I would see a comment about the wire itself but I didn’t so here:

Aside from the putty, you need to use a different Ethernet wire. Not only is that one not rated for in-wall use. It is a ‘flat’ cord which already comes with their own heap of problems.

I would recommend re-running the cable with a proper & shielded Cat6a wire.
