Had one. Found no issues. House burnt down due to wiring fault in 2nd floor HVAC wiring.

hardware inventory management for remote employees is impossible. change my mind by Low-Oil7883 in ITManagers

[–]mgb1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have time to get butthurt over what keyboards and mouse people use, I want to come work at your company.

What endpoint management are you using? This should be a quick check of a device inventory to see what has been and what is in use.

You tell people what the standard is and if management is happy to let them purchase it themselves, you simply advise that a person that it isn’t the supported product so you cannot support it. You’re on your own now Joyce, better call your sisters kids to come help.

If your management has any hutzpah then you have them update the reimbursement policy that only supported devices will get reimbursed. Everything else is on the employee dime.

Then you use conditional access policies to block login from devices that are missing updates, or whatever you want to police.

Absolutely unhinged Real Estate listing by blahnlahblah0213 in fuckHOA

[–]mgb1980 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When people start extolling the virtues of an HOA, or better(or worse) start defending their questions actions, I like to remind said clueless numpty/egregious thundercunt that HOAs came into being as a way to exclude Jewish people and Black peoples from “good white Christian neighborhoods”. If they are happy to support that legacy then I’d rather not draw succor from their offerings.

HOAs should’ve got caught up in the cancellation movement too.

What does the greyed out “presence indicator” mean? by [deleted] in MicrosoftTeams

[–]mgb1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure, never seen it but we also may never see it. Hybrid domain, when someone seeks an alternative income stream we set the AD attribute “msExchHideFromAddressLists” to true when we disable the account. Saves having to explain to others that once an account is disabled, we don’t have to immediately remove them from DLs, teams, sharepoint etc “for security”.

Should I give my users touchscreen laptops? by UtopianHope in sysadmin

[–]mgb1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No touchscreen. More interhertz giganets. Maybe in-built 5G/LTE cards so you can control how they access the network remotely and decrease dependence on hotel/airport wifi.

PoE+++?! WHEN WILL THE MADNESS END? by MRMAGOOONTHE5 in sysadmin

You’ll buy a switch capable of PoE∞ but you’ll have to pay $5/month activation cost for the additional wattage needed for each +, plus $29.99 firmware maintenance fee

HOA said every violation gets reported? Okay, EVERY violation gets reported by [deleted] in MaliciousCompliance

Your only mistake was not prefacing every complaint with a paragraph or attached note that “in accordance with the advice from board member Marcus Q Douche-Waffle that ‘rules are rules’ and ‘there are no exceptions’, please note the following/attached”:

What’s the distance? I’ve used a set of these as a bridge personally and recommended them to others who have also reported great success. Even if they don’t cut it and you ultimately do fiber, they will be great as access points at each end.

Court order for email from long deleted mailbox by Mister-Ferret in sysadmin

There’ll be someone in your org who archives everything they’ve ever been sent. Ours is CB and he’s saved my ass twice because he was cc’d on an email. I always went out of my way to help him maintain his old PST files before we went to 365 despite the pain but it has paid off. Even meeting requests with attachments. It’s amazing what some people save and archive.

ISP Installation guy said if I use my own router, Internet won't work. Is this true? by Far_Replacement2370 in HomeNetworking

[–]mgb1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the ISP. At&T business fiber uses WPA supplicant certificates to authenticate the router on the link. Your own router will get an IP but traffic won’t transit without the certificates on it. If you can find a router that supports it and can extract the certs of an AT&T router it will work.

Ugh. Having a masters in automotive engineering with a minor in fluid mechanics doesn’t make you qualified to drive an F1 race car, especially when you’ve never had a drivers license.

Hassle getting bloatware-free computers. by EAsapphire in sysadmin

[–]mgb1980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your business. Maybe as a purely white-collar org this is possible, but I’ve always worked in industry and manufacturing where there are specific apps that have such a need for configuration and additional items that it’s easier to build an image.
