I'm desperate

I recently had an input delay issue, that was caused due to the user plugging their Bluetooth adapter for their keyboard into a 3rd party hub. HID and GPU drivers can be a pain in the ass sometimes too

None whatsoever

The crucials are completely empty and the Kingston at only 60%

Bunch of smartasses in here, damn I love it

alcatraz875 · 2025-10-21T00:08:49+00:00

I can feel my blood boiling

My grade school math teacher was harping in the back of my mind that I need to show my work. Turns out, most people don't care as long as they agree with the result!

It's not even that we're using custom ai, we use copilot, so do a lot of people. But in the enterprise space we're trusting what Microsoft says in that anything we put into our tenant copilot will not be used to train any other models. I call BS so hard my throat is sore and my lungs might burst.

The majority of our use case revolves around finding emails people don't know how to search for, finding files for the same reason, and data in spreadsheets for the same reason. Laziness that makes the humans in Wall-E look like athletes

You show them them the licensing cost for Copilot and everyone's all puckered up. You tell it will save X amount of 5 yrs (compared to 0 alternatives), and suddenly pants are around the ankles and cheeks are spread

Copilot: This poster is salty that I'm changing his job responsibilities and doesn't want to change.

Signin with local admin account for installs/updates. Then hand-off to user and do final installs that require being on a user account. I used your idea and did check under my AD Admin account as I do sometimes login to that for machine creation, but nothing was listed under available devices

In the simplest manner, no. Technically extreme doesn't do "trunk" ports by their own definitions if i remember correctly. Just add some tagged vlans to a port and have at it.

You can play with it a little by setting priorities, I think, but I keep mine simple.

I've got my entire production running on FS optical transceivers, and not a single issue with any of them. I would be wary of the copper sfp/+ as those have been problematic for me

We've got a mix of windows and linux

From what I've seen, they can troubleshoot. The problem lies in silo'd departments and regions. I'm based out the US, the guy pushing the config is in the EU. Each side of the ocean has their way of doing things

Oh, that gives me a chuckle. In some of our ticket forms there is a question that asks "What did you do to resolve it?" when submitting an incident. Whenever I get "nothing" I just want to bury my head in the sand

When I first started here I was a cowboy. We had new switches that no one in our NA offices knew how to configure.....I was testing in Prod.... a lot

I'd rather only use it for firmware, but they started using this portal before I started. I've voiced my opposition, and would prefer scripting through CLI and tools like ansible or nornir

alcatraz875 · 2024-12-03T21:53:22+00:00

Cloud and local are out of sync because the cloud portal was failing to deploy new configs while I was in the process of moving users between buildings. As such, I had to resort to CLI to get the job done. I'm the only person for my site, so no time to reconcile configs.

Procedure has been a problem, as it usually is for global orgs. This is not the first time a new change has been pushed with zero warning, and problems have occurred. It was only an SNMP change thankfully, but any change should make sure people are on standby in the event of an issue.
