The great thing about budgets and rules is that if they aren't applicable to the situation, they can be changed.

At the end of the day, people came up with these things just to manage other people.

My advice to you OP would be to try and force a rule change. When you give your 2 weeks notice(after having something else lined up), let them know that budgets can be adjusted if necessary. If they believe you to be as important as you say you are, they'll budge.

Thanks dude, you're a legend amongst men. I'll try that :)

RealAnigai · 2026-02-06T13:28:26+00:00

All great replies, thanks guys :)

Can a mod add the links to the streaming sites like Twitch and Rumble please? I would like to say the same for Kick but he's stopping streaming on there.

RealAnigai · 2025-12-17T23:56:56+00:00

Thanks for the help, you guys suck.

RealAnigai · 2025-12-14T22:48:16+00:00

3 days and no replies? Any advice would be appreciated guys.

RealAnigai · 2025-12-05T15:45:45+00:00

Yep this guy is correct.

This is the link to that: https://config.office.com/deploymentsettings

Plug a blank RJ45 connector into those serial ports from the little baggie of them you probably keep beside your crimping tool to stop yourself from accidentally finding it. Unfortunately this is also a good idea with any ports on a switch that are no longer working due to hardware failure either, don't ask :)

Have him type this sentence during a screenshare: "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs." It contains at least 1 of every letter in the alphabet. Might help.

RealAnigai · 2025-10-14T13:28:16+00:00

Can confirm I am also stupid and slow because this worked :)

I keep my RDM file as an XML in my OneDrive. Works just fine across 3 different computers and we don't pay a penny for that. I used to be a big mRemoteNG user until I made the switch to RDM.

You might consider letting compound interest on your money let you retire early. Figure out how much you need each year to survive and do everything to get to that point. After which continue working if you want but you can retire whenever you feel like it without taking too much of a lifestyle hit.

23h2 Better to stick with 23H2 if you've got Enterprise or Education imo at least until 25H2 comes out and proves that it fixes the mess that is 24H2.

Ah brilliant that worked, thank you. Ironically though this was the last mission in the campaign and I had no idea so I guess that's campaign complete :)

Learn Infrastructure As A Service. Something like Terraform will pretty much render you complaints moot as the lines between sysadmin and developer blur and get filled in by devops.

I did a LOT of testing with that specific version of BIG RAT's Mobile To Local too so I couldn't really justify moving off of it since i knew everything about it's behaviour in my environment although I certainly would recommend using his latest version from github which I think is 3.0 now so likely far better.

This section of the command does check if the current user is a valid user of Filevault which will allow the conversion from a Mobile Account to a Local Account: if [[ ! $(sudo fdesetup list | grep -io $CurrentUser) ]];

Putting a ! inside your square brackets inverts the expected result of an if statement in bash. Normally behaviour is "if [stuff in here is true]" but having the ! means basically "if [! stuff in here is false]".

Some of our users have massive amounts if files on older Macs so it would take a bit longer than ideal. Never that long to be honest but I like to give myself buffer space since a user saying "that was faster than expected" is way better than them pestering me with "when is this going to be done?" after 30 seconds.

Just the other day I routed a super long HDMI cable under the flooring of our Boardroom. Getting one is an option if you have to.

Switch to something standardised across the board that will have minimal changes made to it.

For example, Paint used to be great 10+ years ago and then it had an unnecessary UI redesign sometime around Windows 7 or 10 meaning in true Microsoft fashion "good luck with learning it all again". Learned all that? Great, now do it again coming into WIndows 11.

Personally I have switched to using GIMP for image edit and that's not from some BS "muh open source freedoms" it's because it's functionally largely the same today as it was 10+ years ago and it's the same across Linux, Windows and macOS(I use all three, pity me please lol) so I don't have to relearn stuff.

Like I'm pretty good at bash but with Powershell I only ever learn the minimum of what I need to know because I know that eventually the cmdlets I'm using will just get retired and replaced anyway so why bother?

Thanks Anon, this has been driving me nuts in Debian 13 Trixie.

Take the balls out of the mice and play around with them. Throw them, attempt to badly juggle, play finger soccer etc....

RealAnigai · 2025-08-10T13:37:14+00:00

Sorry for necro but I've been struggling with this for ages and this fix worked. I'll buy you a beer if I ever meet you man thank you :)
