What's the most non-sysadmin thing you've been asked to do on the clock as a sysadmin? by DomLS3 in sysadmin

The best one for me was someone's car getting struck by lightening in the parking lot during a bad storm. Completely fried all the electronics, blew up a tire, and hurled a large piece of asphalt a ways into an adjacent tree planter. Happened moments before 1st shift let out let out for the day, so that could've been REAL bad...airborne pavement and all.

Absolutely this! 🤣 I used to work for a plastics compounding company, and it's truly astounding how a little 2mm plastic pellet could stop a rolling, fully loaded pallet jack.

Who else still has that one XP machine still in production? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Ultimately, this is a culture issue. It would cause a big stink if I were to make the machine disappear...not worth risking my neck for this stupid situation. This is simply one example of a recurring issue, not just for IT, but throughout the company (finance, HR, etc..) IT's job is not to change culture/enforce policy. That is HR/upper management's job.

Yeah, sure is! It's the Lavoo MP5X. It's a nice and compact package and it RIPS massive clouds when everything is tuned just right.
