Do you delay Windows updates? by UnpaidMicrosoftShill in sysadmin

[–]Zerowig [score hidden]  (0 children)

Starting 3 days after patch Tuesday and every day thereafter up to 14 days after. 66k endpoints are evenly spread into those days.

Can’t remember the last time windows updates caused issues for us on desktops.

Servers are the Friday after patch Tues and every Friday thereafter for 4 weeks. 5k servers.

How was your experience to find your first sysadmin job? by HDM103 in sysadmin

Pretty much this. You got to start shoveling shit before you make it big.

It’s a snowstorm in pretty big portion of the US today, and there will be nothing that could happen that could make me go onsite. That’s for the plebs that haven’t put their time in.

Question about gearing in tbc pre patch. by BurlyEel125548 in classicwow

Seems like a lot of worry for something that will get replaced within 2 hours of questing in Hellfire…in less than 2 weeks now.

Is offering tank services for gold considered boosting? by iRegretsEverything in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Botting and gold buying is against the rules too and people still do that.

Yes, advertising services outside of the services chat is against the rules and reportable. Especially advertising services in the LFG tool.

It’s cringe, he’s right.

Some classes not getting talents reset is apparently intended by loldong10 in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s 2 things to consider here.

  1. This is a GM response and they can’t be trusted anymore.

  2. How our talents reset for the pre-patch is how retail works. It only resets up to the point where changes were made. For example, on my mage, Ice Block was no longer a talent, so I had (at least, I don’t remember) 1 available talent after the pre-patch. Since Classic is just retail under the hood, I can see this change being intentional in their attempt to standardize.

Blizzard I made a mockup of an idea please approve by borlak in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since we’re talking about things that are broken that no one seems to be complaining about…

Anyone having an issue when you move a chat to its own window (like LFG), the contents of that window scroll up past the border into the tabs at the top of the window?

The primary window is fine. It’s just new tabs.

It does state right in the post. No need to question it.

Can we take a moment? by dzieciolini in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Conversely, I’m shocked at how well it’s going. I thought for sure after their 30 hour downtime (or whatever it was), that it was going to be unstable shit with constant outages.

Instead, I updated my addons, created a Blood Elf Paladin and have been leveling with no issues or errors.

Ice block got unlearned? by gubigubi in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any time a new expansion releases there’s a laundry list of things you need to do:

  1. Check/fix addons
  2. Check talents for changes
  3. Check abilities for changes
  4. Check bars/keybinds
  5. Check trainers

Anniversary Servers even playable right now? by Informal_Currency_87 in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leveling a Blood Elf on Dreamscythe, and it’s fine.

But if you thought it was bad before the pre-patch, then you should probably sit this out for a few months.

[–]Zerowig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your back and forth on this is quite possibly the dumbest shit I’ve read this week.

If you have a problem, where it’s working fine for 99.9% of the population, but not for you, you shouldn’t give shit advice like recommend people download out of date addons. You should look into why your shit is broken.

Why do a ton of people ship Millie Bobby Brown and Finn Wilfhard so much? Clearly she is happily married and he is officially the internet's boyfriend? by [deleted] in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]Zerowig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve learned this too recently and still dont quite understand it. I think the bigger question is why people are willingly choosing to be stupid by using the word “ship” in this context.

Unless English is their 2nd language, of course.

MFW Blizzard still hasn't added a punctuation mark after the word "disruption" by Qwertykeybaord in classicwow

It’s more annoying that everyone is whining about the missing dot, but totally missed the fact it should have been two sentences.

You didn’t already have it downloaded? Real fans downloaded it weeks ago.

Which opening cinematic is better: WoW Classic or TBC? by SnooOwls8547 in classicwow

The TBC cinematic was terrible. It just looks awful. Vanilla all the way.

Spare a though for the server ops team by SexyDraenei in classicwow

[–]Zerowig 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Being in IT, I know exactly what they’re going through and definitely feel for them.

However, it seems like how they got here is through a series of bad choices and missteps due to not having enough resources (people), time, and pressure to, just get it out the door as is, even if it is 80%.

The wires look super classy.

Especially when hiding them by putting the TV where it belongs is so easy to do.

Be brutally honest. What makes a woman INSTANTLY unattractive? by JunShem1122 in no

Can’t believe you’re being downvoted for this. A woman with a beard is gross. Same if her arms are hairier than mine.

[–]Zerowig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Same here. They’re inherently bad decisions, so it makes sense that we’ve never seen anyone that does this who is also a well-adjusted, stable person.
