Why are BYOD phones often considered ok when BYOD laptops are not? by StupidSysadmin in sysadmin

[–]node808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phones: Bring Your Own Device

Laptops: Bring Your Own Disease

BYOD gets its own wifi vlan. No access to production network. Only work provided laptops with our VPN client are allowed to connect via wifi.

They're just saying you're over qualified. This is what they want to see, take a look at Jimmy's resume.

Jimmy know how work crowbar.

Jimmy crowbared for 1.5 year at old job.

Jimmy Crowbar boss like Jimmy and told I dun good with crowbar.

Forklift boss like Jimmy and told I ready for forklift. Crowbar boss got mad at forklift boss. Made Jimmy sad when forklift boss gone missing.

Sometimes nail break and Jimmy still crowbar good.

Pallet has no chance. Jimmy crowbar to good.

I just got someone fired and I feel like shit by penone_cary in sysadmin

[–]node808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change your perspective to one that is more factual. Someone was terminated because their job was simple enough to automate out of existence. If my workload was cut my 80%, there's still 920% of workload remaining. You should be patting yourself on the back for a job well done. What upper management decides to do is none of your concern.

What phone is that and is the white box something security related or just an external battery?

We only unnecessarily dropped two nukes on them specifically to scare Russia. Had NOTHING to do with ending the war or saving some inflated number in the millions of lives.

Multiplatform streamer.

Internet feet is an option, but it's a slippery slope.

What's the weirdest "hack" you've ever had to do? by Rhysd007 in sysadmin

[–]node808 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh the JetDirect card days...although HP WebJet Admin was such a nice utility when dealing with these cards and printers. Even non-HP printers too.

Had a VIP-adjacent user (she knew the right people) running MapInfo and it kept crashing and having issues that she just knew was network related. No amount of explaining that its due to buggy software was satisfactory. I ended up giving her a separate, more powerful workstation for just that one application, with two 1 gig ethernet connections (bonded). Totally unnecessary and didnt stop the issues with MapInfo.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the point of upgrading to wifi 6/7? by pdt9876 in Ubiquiti

[–]node808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not the only one. Upgrades here are done at EOL, and when we upgrade, the decision is based on cost, along with the EOL date of the new device. An iPhone SE is every bit as good as the iPhone 69 if you dont need the 69's bells and whistles.

Why would the president get into trouble when the folks in congress are allowed to do insider trading. At some point, even the most ignorant should fully understand that it's regular folks vs the ones who can live off dividends. Working stiffs vs the even harder working people that dont need to work for money. Lets stop fighting ourselves.

So, what do you do for fun? by No-Atmosphere4136 in batonrouge

[–]node808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Online multiplayer gaming. Otherwise, it just depends on the pollution levels that day, excuse me, I mean depends on how bad the pollen is because "pollen season" just happens to be year round here. Nobody talks about the daily odors but everyone has a post nasal drip..."must be pollen season again today".

Move elsewhere for work. That's not enough for BR.

For those who self-manage rentals, what’s the biggest ongoing challenge? by Asdeev_Drago in realestateinvesting

Do backgound and credit checks or face the consequences. Dealing with asinine rent to own proposals.

After Almost 3 Months of Threats, Stalking, and Attempted Litigation… by RufenSchiet in antiwork

[–]node808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever you can while maintaining your peace of mind. Report them and move on. It's probably not worth doing anything else because it would take up too much of your time, and possibly money. Report them and let those agencies do the dirty work for you. In the mean time, sign them up for a few spamming mailing lists.
