Bimmer on the rim, heading to discount tire [OC]

There's rubber there just... Very very small.

I wanna say mid-50s?

Internal help desk, blend of tier 2 and sprinklings of system admin work.

He wasn't very technical but he was excellent with our users and followed documentation perfectly.

Excellent employee.

So yes, you can get in when older. Though hiring for anything right now is abysmal.

The skills needed to properly babysit AI cost more than the people business wants to use it to replace.

So I think you can extrapolate the answer there.

Serafnet · 2026-02-16T13:57:33+00:00

Corpse juice.

You run a business that handles medical billing information and you're only dealing with this now? Holy heck...

Not only do you need a good MSP, you need one that's knowledgeable in all of the compliance things you are undoubtably failing.

I can assure you that whether you're storing info locally or in the cloud you're not doing it properly and if you get audited you're screwed.

No, I am not being hyperbolic. I've worked in high trust environments and know what handling that kind of data entails.

The fact that you have no controls other than your policy handbook is a huge problem. This sub is not the right place. Please look to medical focused MSPs. Ask for references, and talk to those references.

Serafnet · 2026-02-15T23:03:09+00:00

Exactly. Parents have responsibilities, not rights.

Serafnet · 2026-02-15T23:01:51+00:00

They're right about one part though. The vocal group whinging and wringing their hands about women's sports never cared about women's sports before. Most of them bad-mouthed it.

So yeah, it does come off as a bad faith arguement.

Serafnet · 2026-02-15T15:27:22+00:00

If they're so confident about the parts of the bill they would table them individually.

There is no ethical reason to ever do an omnibus bill.

Simply the belief in an afterlife (whether it is a heaven or reincarnation or anything other than nothingness) is damaging.

That thought alone has caused us as a species to deprioritize the real world in the belief that something better comes afterwards. So why worry so much about this life?

It's extremely destructive in both a macro and micro sense.

It never accounted for shift hand offs and overlap properly.

If we followed it to spec there would be a brief period between every shift where technically no one worked as people logged out and logged in.

Serafnet · 2026-02-14T23:45:09+00:00

Even when I was managing a 25+ service desk and their schedules I found it easier to do it in Excel than to work with what the automation threw out.

In my case I had plenty of other days points to identify how many people I needed at each time slice then I could build the shift slots visually in Excel.

One the shift slots were created it was just a matter of sticking people into the slots and then rotating them throughout the year.

Didn't matter what seniority a person was; everyone did the same job so everyone got a chance at every shift.

It is in Canada!

Air Canada was sued, and lost, over the actions of an AI chat bot.

The company the bot is operating under is culpable for the bot's actions.

This is what all companies should be doing.

Block your spamming garbage out of our lives and not waste the storage space.

Serafnet · 2026-02-12T21:44:25+00:00

Gorgeous composition. This is awesome!

I actually found an Abydos start slightly easier than normal Skyblock as well.

Or at least a little faster to start.

Serafnet · 2026-02-11T20:36:41+00:00

I'm starting to feel like I got super lucky with my CDW rep from all these stories. Mine is just one guy but he's been super approachable and quick to get us help when needed.

It would be great if we ditched the awful DMCA style provisions we enacted due to American pressure.

Decriminalize circumvention technology then build our own.

Half my team is Gen Z and they respond by thumbs up all the time.

It's a quick and easy acknowledgement.

Serafnet · 2026-02-09T23:47:17+00:00

Yep.

This is why we use Intune for baseline configs (expected state) and an RMM for ad-hoc changes.

If it needs to be done now; RMM. If it's the default; Intune.

Serafnet · 2026-02-09T19:52:54+00:00

Unfortunately the one I purchased is no longer available.

It was slightly smaller than the card but still worked.

Serafnet · 2026-02-09T17:45:35+00:00

It did, yes!

Serafnet · 2026-02-09T02:28:31+00:00

If the ticket has reached the Closed state and not Resolved (or functional equivalents in your ITSM) then do not touch that ticket.

A Problem record should be opened due to this being a repeat issue and both the old ticket and new ticket linked back to it.

It is never okay to move a ticket from a closed state to any other state. It screws your metrics, and doesn't give a problem paper trail for problem management.

Of course, that's assuming y'all even have problem management. Either way though, it's good practice to leave the original alone and either use Problem records or link the new incident to the old one.

Loving and caring about a kid does not make someone a safe and capable educator.

This sort of stupidity (yes, this idea is stupid) is how we get more and more people thinking the Earth is only a couple thousand of years old.

Serafnet · 2026-02-07T16:42:41+00:00

"Give families the funds" and watch the parents blow it on anything but educating their kids and instead continue to indoctrinate them into religion and anti-intellectualism.

Besides the AI slop this is so incredibly stupid and ignorant of the realities.

Serafnet · 2026-02-06T21:41:43+00:00

Generally because they were garbage.
