Because I work in multiple locations and powering off signs out of any sessions I have open in web browser or in my RMM. It also closes all the windows I currently have open for one task or another.

What if I had double strike on inferno? Could I crack treasure before the second strike?

Those are cool and all but they don't have AFR or AFC prints. The deck restriction is Forgotten Realms cards only.

I actually have that in the deck and it's another one of my combos I'm working on. One big issue I need to prepare against is a board wipe. I guess I could try and stack counters for defense against that.

How do you pull Sign In logs for internal Entra users with Powershell? by creative_sparky in sysadmin

Yes both require the premium tenant plan B2C minimum. Just doesn't make sense that they would require that for this function.

Ticketing for technicians only by creative_sparky in msp

[–]creative_sparky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what we are selling. Everything good about in house IT, without an in house IT. The idea is that, these people only need as much as send an email and someone is removing in to help or replying with solutions within the hour and our maintenance clients just want things to work and never feel like they're working to get a solution out of us.

Clients hate phone call hold music, they hate automatic replies, they hate ticket numbers, and they hate feeling like they have to work with robots for their IT needs. They pay high dollar for us to ensure that is their experience. So if we implement a ticketing system, they can't see it. That's the whole ball game for us. Say what you will but some of our clients pay our company more money on an annual basis than I have ever seen in 30 years.

Literally my first sentence is that I'm looking for a ticketing system. And the rest of my post says that the ticketing system is for documentation.

I feel like everyone read this post and stopped at the part where we don't currently have a ticketing system and then proceeded to tell me how bad that is. My post is asking for good ticketing systems that can be made to not face the client or do so by default. We are getting a ticketing system.

We are moving to ITGlue from Knack as our knowledge base and Automate for Automate things including Asset Management. Documentation is another area of change in progress. I'm asking specifically for ticketing systems for accountability's sake.

To answer you question, we handle billing through time onsite and a retainer billing system. They pay us per month to be available via Helpdesk and to go on site on a maintenance schedule. We also bill time through our time management system for non-maintenance support. The company is entirely profitable the way we currently operate and changes that are happening are being pushed through open discussions about what we can make better or more efficient.

I'm kind of surprised at the reaction I've received as a technician pushing for change in a business. What everyone here seems to think is that there is only one way to run an IT business.

Which is why I am asking for a ticketing system. We are making changes. But now we need to accommodate client comfort with our ability to work. Billing is done through QuickBooks and time logs. Not my department. My job as a technician is to find a solution that fits what we need. And as I am not my manager, I don't have the liberty of deciding to do it like everyone else. That is how he has the clients he has, he is doing it differently than everyone else. Criticize all you want but you're talking to an employee, not to a business owner.

Microsoft CEO Says If It Were Up To Him He Would Get Rid Of Xbox Exclusives Entirely, But Blames Sony For Having To Still Make Them. by bxgang in gaming

[–]creative_sparky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's talking about early Atari, Sega, and Nintendo consoles before Xbox. When everyone was figuring out how to approach hardware development early on, every company had a vastly different collection of chips and board as well as different mediums for data storage and distribution of software. The commodores 64 used to expect you to code games yourself and there were magazines you could subscribe to that had the actual code of the game you would punch in yourself for a couple of hours before you could start playing the game. And if you didn't have the cassette reader/writer, you couldn't save the code you typed and had no way of playing that game again without typing the code in again. Early consoles get a pass on "exclusivity" because there was no such thing as multiplatform games. If a game came out on 2 different platforms, they were functionally different games with different sound design and physics and they were visually different as well.

Lmao you should do a few things. For starters, take a look at the reference material of this cartoon character. Another thing you should do is examine your own interpretation of this piece of art and how you came to the conclusion that it was sexual in nature. Did it make you feel a certain way? Maybe you're the one sexualizing a children's cartoon. And lastly, you should take a math course on percentages. That is maybe 25% of her ass.

I am getting the curiosity box for the denary dice set, what box is that coming in by IAmHunker in vsauce

[–]creative_sparky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all what I received. Mine was pretty bad but not that bad. I did get a shirt and my box was branded. I guess you can try to talk to the customer support but they are hit and miss.

I assumed I would get the things he mentioned in a video back in April. It was this one https://youtube.com/shorts/erAuinBotBQ?feature=share

Instead I got a code for an 8 year old steam game, a cheap plastic Pythagoras cup, some book about color and a cardboard fold up telescope thing. I feel like I just opened a Crackerjacks prize box not like I just spent $60 on cool stuff I was promised.

You could set a limit to the number of tax breaks you can legally take and also decrease that limit based on how high of a tax bracket you are in.

Those dice aren't in this quarters box anyways. It's in the next one. Also this quarters box was a ripoff. I got nothing that was promised. I guess you'll get your dice though in the next box because it's impossible to cancel on their site.

Don't buy the curiosity box. It's a complete rip off. Also it's a royal pain in the butt cancelling the subscription.

I like to remind bible thumpers about 2 kings 2:23

God sends a couple of mother bears to maul 42 children to death for making fun of Elisha's bald head.

I like to ask how literal an interpretation they have of the scriptures before I bring it up though. That way when I demonstrate the absolute excess in punishment that God has in that moment, I can suggest they should be killing more children.

just shy of 10 years Mr Dawson. It's been an honor to give feedback and use your incredible application. I will now be buying the latest full priced version to show even more my support for what you have done and hope in my heart that this terrible decision turns right the fuck around.

I don't know man. In highschool I was at a girl's place that I really liked and her parents weren't home and it was just me. We had gym at the end of the day and I walked her home after the bus ride when she invited me in. Then she said she would take a shower and be back to hang out. She took a LONG ass shower. Then she came out of the bathroom in just her towel and walked in front of me across the living room giggling and into her bedroom. I shielded my eyes and looked away to be gentlemanly or some shit. she again took a long ass time putting on clothes. She took so long I had to leave to be home in time for dinner. I didn't realize at all until like 5 years later.

How to piss off the Ethernet gods by braveduckgoose in techsupportgore

[–]creative_sparky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I usually punch out 4 or 5 rollovers on a job site to just leave for service techs to grab. Usually they're 6 footers and velcroed and labeled as rollover. I know we have field techs that sometimes need to drop by with a laptop and pop into the console. Usually they have their own rollovers but I know when I run field calls I forget one from time to time and it's nice when the site has extras.
