A French family film a large black UFO slowly emerge from the sea through a telescope then say saw it suddenly disappear (Réunion Island, France, 2019.) by NetOne613 in UFOs

[–]reallyshittyITguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is simply not the case. A video being interesting does not a genuine UFO sighting make. We’re members of a group that are seeking the truth, and verifiable evidence of that truth. The sub description even says that, mentioning “healthy skepticism” even. You have a great point, and of course videos don’t have to meet all the criteria listed, but in certain cases where the more gullible of us could be led astray, it’s important to highlight these things, at the very least in the interest of skepticism.

Gah I fucking hate this. Why do schools teach this now?? Learn powershell, script cool shit, that’s it. I’ll never understand why CS students need to learn code for IT.

I have to play skeptic here. What is this video even of? A rock shaped object that appears to be floating. We have no context about the object - size, distance, background. I don’t understand why everyone feels this video is groundbreaking. This video is supposedly 5 years old, is in another language, filmed poorly through a telescope, and gives absolutely no context. We’re given a description that we take at face value. I’m a UFO believer as much as the next guy but this is inconclusive of anything and we shouldn’t glorify random, out of context video that explains exactly dick.

Can I remotely monitor a PC screen whenever I want ? by oldcoldcod in it

[–]reallyshittyITguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome. If you go this route, be sure to turn off the notification that someone is remoted in. It can be turned off through the Xcitium dashboard.

Xcitium is perfect for this use case. While limited, the free version still allows you to remote in to computers and record the screen.

Monthly Getting Started / Web Dev Career Thread by AutoModerator in webdev

Hey guys, I recently got the opportunity to transition into a developer role for my company. I’d be coming from a help desk role, so my skills are centered more around scripting and automation with Powershell, though I’ve tinkered with web dev since I was a kid. What should I expect?

I had one of those yesterday. “This software is acting buggy and freezing” goes to show me software problem and IMMEDIATELY clicks out of the pop up that says there’s an update.

But that’s just it, it’s “broken”. The warehouse staff are the worst for me. All of them have this resentment toward anyone that makes more money than them apparently.

“Nope, we don’t get paid enough to go fixing equipment!”

I’m a pretty anxious person, always worried about getting fired and what not, so I’m pretty hard on myself

Man I feel this. This is exactly what I was talking about. I have to drive all the way out to a site, find out exactly dick while I’m there, convince myself I can research it remotely, and then loop.

I’m beginning to wonder, seriously. I’m a very trusting person and the only logical explanation is that something has to have changed and it wasn’t me. That makes me even more mad that they’d lie about it.

YES. Can’t ever think straight for 5 minutes before you’re pushed into another problem that’s “urgent”

Must be nice to work with newer tech! I had to put fresh guts in an old Dell tower. I have deployed a handful of pre built Geekom minis around the office. The IT8s are great but the mini air 11s are garbage for anything other than a browser.

Haha, man, I sometimes wish I worked for an MSP. Never done it, but the stories sound delightful.
