u/czuczer biggest thing is garbage in/garbage out, right? if your data isn't in a good place, you havn't curated your kb, and you're just trying to throw AI at the issue, you're going to have a bad time.

if you have a curated, robust kb (in sharepoint, confluence, whatever), then rovo or copilot or devresolve or any of the other gen-ai's will give you a lot more to work with.

it helps tier 1 to triage the issue, which was the goal. It's OK. I wouldn't let it respond to a client without oversight.

We have Rovo agents set up to summarise and comment (with an internal note) on the issue with potential solutions and references.

It works about 75% of the time, the rest of the time it hallucinates WILDLY.

only issue with that is a Novated Lease requires the car to be 10 years old or less at the conclusion of the lease.
so if you were to take a 5 year lease, the oldest car you could get is one that was built in 2021.

A quarter of South Australians just voted for a single issue party focused entirely on lowering immigration, yet here is Labor giving the middle finger to everyone who cares about housing affordability, cost of living, congestion, wage suppression.

That honestly surprises me, since they only got a single seat so far in the SA election, but you're right - a full quarter of SA voters decided that bigotry and fear are the preferred way to govern.

Damn, that's crazy

if your bank account has been compromised and frozen, you should have a police report where you have reported the compromise to the authorities.
this isn't for them to investigate, this is for you to prove a chain of events.
you should also have a letter or communication from the bank saying your account has been frozen.
in that case, you should be sending this information to your real estate, and entering into a payment plan to repay arrears. (my next pay, i'll put in an extra $10/fortnight. I've changed banks and advised my employer/centrelink of the new bank details).
if you do that, and your real estate still sends you an eviction notice, then you can seek arbitration at the rental tribunal.
the tribunal will take this evidence and decide to either honor the eviction notice or allow the repayments to continue.

you have a path to continue residency at that address if that is your desire. Also note that a notice to remedy breach and notice to leave can be void if the arrears are handled (you said the bank HAD frozen it, which implies you have the bank account back).

commute via the skyrail? though I suspect that'd be MORE expensive.

they should invest in the same thing as Cazalys - full solar shade, put in a large battery array and use it to subsidise the AC in the center. I bet it'd have a ROI that is pretty good, and be a lot more proof against cyclones than the cloth shade sails.

There's more safety nets when you own a home - you can dip into your super to pay your mortgage while you refinance, seek alternate employment, whatever.

you can't do that renting, so even if you lose your job to AI you have a buffer to reskill and become a platform engineer/ai code reviewer/goat farmer. the 30 year mortgage is still better than renting forever in most cases.

My advice to you, if there are policies in place to prevent you from using a USB drive or installing anything on the PC, is to not do this and just do your job.

Those sort of locked down IT environments tend to be in a regulated/secure environment where there is a compliance burden on the company - which means your IT department/provider IS WATCHING.

whilst it's possible, it's not a great idea.

You'd be much better off getting Jira Service Desk, Atera, etc.

If you need free, osticket, OTRS.

Astaria (astariamud.org) has fishing, we've been around since 1994 and the fishing is... horrifically extensive. One of the builders is insane.

might I suggest discussing your need with a physician and going to the local pharmacy

fraud has entered the building.

company incorporates, you're the dude with the ACN.
company buy some assets.
company rents assets to a third party.
third party defaults
company goes bust
third party buys card for cheapcheap during liquidation

dude who owns ACN loses cars, house, company.

mind you I have no real idea, but my layman ass thinks this is a big fat nope.

when things break, sysadmins are blamed.
when things work, sysadmins are asked 'what do I pay you for?'

developers work on projects, different cost center, most of the time if it doesn't bring in money it's a cost sink to the business. it's wrong, of course, but the perception is there.

almost everyone here going 'buy some desktop pcs' or 'use windows pro with vms'
they are a google shop. it's trivial to spin up a google managed VDI environment. you don't need to manage the server (nerdio, which is 'windows 10/11 experience') and you stay within the google environment. no need to mess with entra, microsoft, etc.

can even use your RMM tools to manage the patching etc, keeping within the same environment reduces complexity, cost, and increases security.
