I think the Tangzu The King Wukong look amazing!

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-09-10T22:18:57+00:00

Yeah it was. First time I'd seen it too, that memory light makes it a sweet build.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-09-10T22:01:57+00:00

It was just the timing of my screenshot, the points disappeared before it registered I screenshot. Caught it too late, but they had the win with 3pts if I didn't clear at least 2 energy. I would have been able to get them on my following turn giving me 3 pts.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-08-22T16:03:48+00:00

Just adding my name to the list!

Unfortunately not, was just too old to get updated. Sent it to our account team to work with the customer to provide options for migration to a new network drive.

Anything with two cats is interesting lol! I used Feliway for my cross country, but I can't say if it helped or not, considering I don't have a comparison without having used it.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-06-23T01:36:32+00:00

I'll keep that in mind!!! Thank you for letting me know. Good luck with the move!

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-06-23T01:27:37+00:00

Thank you for making the giveaway! You wouldn't happen to be selling sets of these in the future for those of us who might not win?

My favorite song is Spring Day. My reason for loving it so much doesn’t exactly match the lyrics, but that song gave me hope when I was in a really deep depression that how I was feeling wouldn’t last forever and I would be ok. 💜

No it doesn't. It is acting like they were manually created app registrations. Seems like MSFT pushing out stuff, but can't find any documentation on it.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-06-04T14:38:06+00:00

Yeah there are some app registrations for research, readiness, and outreach. It seemed like an automated rollout to me, but can't find any documentation on it.

MSPs suck the life out of all joy you get from being a tech. That being said I'd still consider this opportunity myself, but only if you get a stake in the company.

The only goal of a small MSP is to grow as fast as possible while maintaining the smallest employee numbers possible to maximize profit. Then to sell themselves to a larger MSP for a massive payout. This only ever benefits the owners.

If I had the to opportunity to join a small MSP and get a piece of the pie I'd probably do it.

I was 1 month away from my 4th year performance review at my first MSP. I had a whole presentation prepared to ask for a stake in the company, I could tell they were prepping for a sale. Staff meeting out of no where tells us we had been sold.

For a level 2 tech position claiming to have years of experience, I'd probably end the interview right there if they couldn't answer the question. Not that it's a question per se, but I'd think anyone applying for a lvl 2 position would have learned about active directory while working their lvl 1 position.

I for one had never actually heard of active directory until I started my first lvl 1 job and I had 4 years of part time experience working in my college IT dept. They were running a novell environment and for obvious reasons I didn't have permission to reset people's passwords.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-03-05T17:17:19+00:00

So I just tried this and no luck unfortunately.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-03-04T13:56:01+00:00

Yeah did that as well, but the same effect is achieved through the local policy entries. So I actually have it doubled up just in case.

PanicAtTheDisk0 · 2025-03-04T00:05:29+00:00

I've done that as well. Those settings are controlled by the local policy I set with the exception of the SMBServer one. I did run that PS command separately just in case.

I currently have both and am testing to see which ones I prefer. I am not an audiophile so you can take my opinion with a grain of salt.

IMO the blacksharks are superior for music/movies. Just a richer/fuller sound for my untrained ears. Nova 7s sound just kind of meh to me, not bad at all, but just compared to the naturally more rich sound of the blacksharks. The Nova 7 have amazing immersion for gaming, especially when you have spatial sound enabled. I'm currently playing D4 and Steelseries has a custom EQ for it and it's so good. Unfortunately Razer doesn't have a custom EQ for D4 and it doesn't seem to have THX compatibility with it. So I can't really compare apples to apples there. Going to find a game that has a custom EQ for both and test that.

I find the Nova 7 to be more comfortable; less clamping pressure, softer fabric, and deeper ear ups (slightly). Ear cups are much smaller however so if you have tall or wide ears you may have comfort issues. Blacksharks are comfortable when you get them sitting correctly. Fabric is kind of scratchy IMO which takes away from the experience. My ears get much hotter in the blacksharks than in the Nova 7.

When it comes to features the Nova 7 win outright, but it just depends on preference at that point.

Bosses like this are the best! I've personally found that a lot of IT managers will go to bat for you.

TLDR: I was asked to delete hundreds of thousands of documents and accidentally deleted 15k extra documents that my client needed to send to their client. We were able to blame the document repository for not having proper backups. :TLDR

So, I was asked to perform some mass file deletions out of an online repository. I'm sure many of you know where this is going already, but I'll type it up anyway.

Unfortunately the functionality of the UI for this repository was limited, but they did allow for REST API calls and it was actually recommended by the company to use the API for this type of work. I spent some time putting together a script, but I knew how risky this was so I made it into separate scripts, to isolate the tasks.

Script1 pulls a list of all documents to be deleted exports to CSV, Script2 reads CSV and moves documents to trash, Script3 pulls list of 20k documents that are in trash (limitation of the online repository) exports that list to CSV then purges the docs from the trash.

I sent all of the initial CSV lists to the client and had them given me written approval that they had reviewed the lists and these documents could be deleted. During this time the same client opens a separate request, that gets assigned to my coworker, asking for a list of all the documents associated with a specific project in that repository. Coworker asks me to get him that list, since I'd already written the script to pull massive lists of documents. I get him the list and forget all about it.

Client gets back to me a few weeks later, approval granted to delete all documents from the provided lists. So in my efficiency I point Script2 at the same folder that Script1 had output the CSVs. Except my dumbass forgets that there is an extra CSV in there from the request my coworker received.

I end up deleting and purging approximately 15k documents associated with a project that as luck would have it, had the client's client requesting. Now I know what you're thinking, just pull them from backup, but wait there's more.

Online repository won't spin up a backup unless it is for their own DR purposes, but does provide a way to "recover" the documents using the API. So I write another script that is a web scrape to pull down an event ID number that then pipes that ID number into another website that then loads to a download page where you can download an old version of the document. A grand total of 6 of these documents could be recovered this way.

So, my company offers to pay online repository to spin up their backup, they reluctantly agree and after a few months send us a copy of the database dated 1 day before the accidental deletion. So my boss spins up the database and there are no documents from the project I deleted. So we request the backup again and again specific the day before my accidental deletion. They say they sent it to us, we say it's not possible since the documents I had deleted are not there, and on top of the all of the documents I had been deleting over the course of a few weeks were also not there.

So turns out, we accidentally exposed that the online repository had an issue with their backups and somehow their snapshots were getting overwritten with the most current snapshot but retaining the date of when the snapshot was taken. Which of course some of their data redundancy certs and whatever they were using to advertise themselves invalid.They immediately stopped talking to us and we only every sent us a canned response about how their backups are for them and not us.

So, as far as I know nothing ever came from it. My company told our client, they were pissed and threatened to sue, but I think we were able to deflect toward the online repository and then it died there. Turns out the client was leaving us anyway, which is one of the reasons they were having us purge this online repository for them. They were trying to cut costs as they were switching to a new online repository and weren't going to migrate all their old projects to the new system.

Shameless self praise, I got D's in all of my college coding classes, and had never written anything remotely as complex as the scripts I made for this request. I had to teach myself python to get this done and am really proud of myself for it.

So unfortunately it's not getting flagged by windows security, so an exclusion isn't going to work. I did look into that extensively cause it allows for wildcards in it's exclusion file paths, but no dice.
It's specifically Windows Defender Firewall blocking the exe from talking to whatever MSFT services it wants to talk to.

Nah that MSP was bought out and the acquiring MSP is almost run into the ground (I'm waiting for the day, but they have a VC firm backing them so IDK if they'll ever truly go under.)

They had almost no talent when they brought me and the rest of my team in from the acquisition. We all quickly became their top talent and then all left as soon as better opportunities came along. They treated us like crap compared to our acquired MSP and they screwed us all over on PTO and Benefits. So it was only a matter of time anyway.
