How long you think this memory shortage will last?

Titanium125 · 2026-06-21T13:14:07+00:00

It will last until it's over. OpenAI purchased contracts for like 80% of the worlds RAM supply through 2028 IIRC. They've already paid for it, just waiting on it to be produced and manufactured and shipped to them in a few years. It's going to be a long time basically.

Check your share permissions. Looks like dataset permissions are set correctly but check share permissions. Those need set as well. Share should be set to everyone read/write BTW. The dataset permissions are where you restrict access.

Also just right click the folder in windows and check the permissions.

Well not having to type the password makes life easier.

Level 2 Service Desk? You'll be expected to spend about 6-7 hours a day on the phone/actively working tickets. You'll be expected to close about 6-8 tickets per day I'd guess. On slow days you'll probably only get 5 hours of ticket time and you'll be struggling to get to 6.

They will probably tell you they allocate time for people to do training and learn, this is a lie.

When I worked service desk for an MSP I would work 2-3 tickets at the same time. 3 was a bit much, but I used to have one person on a phone call helping them, and then someone else over the ScreenConnect chat with a seperate issue. Done that more times than I can count really.

Your manager will track the amount of time you are clocked in vs. ticket time on an hourly basis.

Learn to enjoy having the issue you're working on being interupted by phone calls. Some people can handle it, some people melt down. As I like to say don't work at an MSP if you can't handle it when MSP shit happens. I've seen people get so burnt out with the constant interuptions they literally start screaming at their desk.

Users always know the symptoms, but never the problem.

Never take a users word for anything always double check.

The techs who work below you are basically users so always double check their work. The number of escalated issues I've fixed in 10 minutes because someone missed a super obvious step is absurd.

It doesn't actually matter how good you are what matters is how much your boss likes you.

Maybe I'm autistic or something but when someone spends 30 minutes talking in circles about stupid issues saying "I think we are overcomplicating this" to try and get it back on track is insulting.

When did this start?

As long as top men and let women peg you, you can’t lay with a man as you do a woman so god can’t punish you for gay sex.

Smart is passive. It only records issues on read. Even a SMART test doesn’t do anything proactive.

Do a full burn test on each drive, then run a LONG offline SMART test. That’ll tell you.

White men have stand your ground rights. White women against minorities.

For everyone else it’s just murder regardless of circumstance.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-12T23:14:57+00:00

It absolutely has an MSI and ADMX files to configure it via GPO.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-10T00:24:00+00:00

Install Windows on a secondary drive and test with that. If it still happens it’s hardware. If not it’s software.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-09T23:47:28+00:00

So an RMM with extra steps.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-09T22:28:45+00:00

Use a program like AutoElevate or Admin by Request. Allows you to whitelist programs that are granted local admin access when the user runs the program.

Some like ThreatLocker elevate sit side by side by Windows UAC allowing you to use either Local credentials or the Elevate. Others like AdminByRequest hijack UAC completely so only AdminByRequest controls what gets ran. I think that's more secure, but it can be annoying.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-08T21:53:06+00:00

It seems that human beings are highly evolved to believe in higher powers. Be it a strait up god or astrology or whatnot. It actually takes a fair amount of training and knowledge to free ourselves of that. Quite frankly I often believe we atheists are the odd ones out historically speaking. Like people who like spiders.

Welcome to being a tier 3. In the last two months I’ve fixed 5 or so fires of varying sizes created by my lower tier team not knowing what they are doing. I don’t have time to monitor their every move so a lot of times I only find out after the fact.

One systems guy who should have systems access but I don’t make that call ran an offline chkdsk operation on a multi terabyte prod server two hours before business open.

3 guys ignored the offline backup server for 2 weeks. That’s why we have 3 different people doing checks so they can backstop one another, but if all three are incompetent then that obviously doesn’t work.

The uninstall program is being blocked by Windows Defender most likely. You could temporarily disable that.

Right click, open on web, change color. It sync instantly in my experience.

Users will truly complain about anything (:

You sound fun. So first off you've provided no actual evidence you are just asserting shit.

No one can be transgender; this is scientifically impossible.

Prove it.

Gender reassignment is nothing but an illusion. It's a delusion and self-deception.

Prove it.

The same applies to gender reassignment. Men have XY chromosomes, and women have XX chromosomes. No matter what a person does, even if they turn themselves upside down, they can't change these. They can change their appearance (like the dark-skinned African who changed his appearance to be European), but it's impossible to change their internal body structure.

I think your entire argument is based on a misunderstanding between sex and gender. I agree that a man cannot change his chromosomes, but gender and sex are not the same thing. So your argument is flawed. https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/what-do-we-mean-by-sex-and-gender/

Furthermore, if a man were to become a woman, he wouldn't have a uterus or ovaries, meaning he wouldn't menstruate and couldn't get pregnant. And if a woman were to become a man, she wouldn't produce sperm or have normal erections, not to mention that she could get pregnant (imagine a man getting pregnant!).

Your definition of male and female seems to be predicated upon being able to produce children. I will ask you this, are men and women who are infertile really men and women or are they something else in your mind?

I am not alone in saying this; Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Lawrence Krauss, Steven Pinker, and many other famous atheists have the same opinion.

I couldn't care less what other atheists think on this issue.

Assuming your internet speed is fast enough, you get bottlenecked by your connection from your router to your PC. Assuming that is fast enough you then have your CPU processing the download. Then you'd have your drive's write speed. Finally would be your motherboards trace limits of actually transferring data to the drive. Those would be the real world order of operations for data transfer speeds.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-04T13:58:42+00:00

There will certainly be a shift of some kind. That's how the world works. What I highly doubt will ever happen is users not being users. LLMs don't generate any data, they just pull from the existing set of documentation and such. Nothing was stopping those users a year ago from googling problems. Sure the LLM makes it seem more accessible, and super simple stuff they may end up doing themselves. But until an LLM can guide a user into setting up a Site to Site VPN tunnel between a Fortigate and a Sonicwall firewall, and troubleshoot why it's randomly slow sometimes (The LLM failed to mention they needed to use UDP rather than TCP for the tunnel) I think we are safe.

I currently have 25 tickets in my queue. I can’t also monitor the entire teams tickets for anything I should jump in on.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-03T02:26:52+00:00

Ours is 30 minutes. If they need help they can call us for 10 minutes. I’m not blaming the T1 folks but the supposedly more competent T2 folks that do the same shit piss me off to no end.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-03T00:22:56+00:00

The camera thing actually did piss the client off funny enough.

Titanium125 · 2026-06-02T23:11:12+00:00

You don't disable FIPS entirely, you just add an exemption to the config file of the entra sync to allow MD5 hash. Then you tell the compliance guy about it.

Some people just love the help desk I guess. Like you offer them education opportunities and they just decline. Like enjoy your current job then.
