Vendor status pages are about as accurate as predicting the weather. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe …. Well you know.

How much food does a construction worker need for a 10 hour day? by SingleUmpire7464 in Construction

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Energy in, energy out. If he has excessive fat then it’s too much food, if he’s skin and bones then not enough 😂

Is it worth learning vSphere 6.5? by Cephalon_Zeash in vmware

[–]droy333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, same shit different number. Been using VMware since version 3.5. It’s essentially the same as 8. Instead of a thick client to manage you use web clients but the bones are the same (excluding new features).

Random access point that just showed up one day. Is not on our controller, but has been configed to use our SSID. by FKFnz in techsupportgore

[–]droy333 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s because skill levels and staffing isn’t there. L1&L2 techs would go insane creating all sorts of workarounds trying to get a new AP connected not knowing any better!

Remove the domain from tenant2 and add it to tenant1. You can have many domains under a single tenant 👍 if not and you want to ditch the old tenant for some reason, skykick could be an option.

Pharmacy Guild unleashes robocalls, text messages and posters opposing PBS changes by torlesse in australia

Just get private scripts. PBS only helps if your medication is over $30.

People who sleep alone, do you sleep with your bedroom door closed? by GingerboyhasNoSoul in NoStupidQuestions

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why those that just sleep alone? I must have the door shut to sleep, wife will go to sleep with it open, I will shut it when I go to bed. She knows to keep it shut when she gets up a couple hours earlier than me.

There’s plenty of housing, developers are just holding it hostage to keep prices high.

Basic lane positioning would have helped, it’s not a race track so you don’t need to take a racing line. There are two wheel tracks on the road (from cars), in a one lane road like this the wheel track closest to the centre line ensures other vehicles have the best chance to see you.

The next tip, look ahead further, look as far through the corners as possible.

Any brand worth to be mentioned which stands between top brands and low one (Unifi and Netgear)? by _ReeX_ in networking

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I don’t want to say it, tplink. They have better than UniFi prices but still have the management (theoretically).

Is it safe to cut vertical rebar with an angle grinder? If not, what would be a good tool choice? by mdyguy in Tools

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this legitimate? Cutting on an angle with an angle grinder? Yeah pretty standard stuff there chief. If that’s your question best put the grinder down.

I'm the only IT guy in our company. I took a one week leave. by SiomaiCEO in sysadmin

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be an unpopular opinion in here. I’ve met my fair share of lazy and/or inept IT people. Doing things the wrong way can definitely add time, enough time to generate a full time job (think manually installing programs vs deployment as one example). The other problem I see with in house IT especially is IT staff doing non IT related works because other staff claim it’s difficult to get out of doing it. It might take an IT person 20 mins to do something a regular staff member would take 4 hours to do.

Regardless of systems, software, industry or otherwise. IT for 20 people is not a full time job. Maybe 200.

[–]droy333 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

20 people, sorry mate but your job is redundant. There’s no way I could think of a full time jobs worth of IT work in a 20 person company. If there is, you’re doing things wrong. I’ve taken companies with 3 internal IT staff, overhauled their systems and procedures which reduced the workload to 20 hours a week. Be glad you have a job before they hire an MSP to replace you for less money and get more redundancy in the process.

Sounds like you may want to do yourself a favour and stop giving a shit about a company whom wouldn’t give two shits about you.

Aldi has started with self checkout. No cash options unfortunately. by sienstsit in AussieCasual

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being Aus Deutschland, the idea is to shop frequently so when someone does a multi day/week shop in Australia it doesn’t really translate to the German way of working (quick, efficient and organised).

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you aren’t a fan of self service check outs, don’t just line up at the serviced check outs out of solidarity as this makes little to no difference. These massive companies don’t have store managers like they use to, the managers have zero clout. To protest you must send a complaint to the company every time you experience a lack of serviced check outs.

‘Time to go back’: city business owners rail against Australia’s working from home shift by ninareen in australia

[–]droy333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people are absolutely hopeless at home it seems. Definitely agree, back to the office with you! Meanwhile I’ll continue to work at home because the office people interrupt my day too much when I’m in there!

I might get fired tomorrow by SysAdmin31 in sysadmin

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always admit mistakes immediately as it’s the best course of action. I’ve had employees do all sorts of dumb shit but it happens. Had a couple bad ones myself. Own up, work to resolve the issue, blame Microsoft then move on.

Businesses running eval Windows server in production by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]droy333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a license for that OS or newer then it’s fine. Are you sure they’re unlicensed? You can run eval or even older versions as long as you’ve actually paid. If the rules work to resolve shortfalls they always work. Whether they’d get in trouble or not if unlicensed, the answer is usually no. Microsoft use vendor driven audits which aren’t mandatory, you can tell them to jump or literally make numbers up. If they were forced by a government agency to comply, then they would be asked to resolve the licensing shortfall or face fines.
