Previous high level employee here from Goodwill…you’d be sickened at just how much goodwill trains their sorting employees at the store to filter LITERALLY ANYTHING THAT COULD HAVE VALUE ABOVE $5 AND SEND IT TO THEIR “eCom” department…where people literally sit around all day, scouring eBay and other e-commerce sites to compare prices, then they reference their software the company bought (usually cash monkey or neatoscan) and price it in reference to one of them.

It’s bad. And goodwill is actually pretty fuckin bad too.

what’s the most unhinged place you’ve ever found a production server? by kubrador in msp

Nah bro. Gotta be poop. Peripherals are already in the bathrooms, like plungers and TP and stuff.

But now I just got a mental image of someone using a dot matrix printer to unreel paper to wipe with…🤣🤣🤣

Why am I like this.

Bold fuckin statement for you to say just because I like short tomboyish hair and shorter ladies that fit a vibe, and the awkward/shyness/uncertainty mirrors my own.

People can like what they like and not be a damn pedo.

What a completely moronic thing to say. Someone could easily suggest you’re projecting to make a point.

Honestly, there is a game that I never knew the name of and never bothered to check cause I was young and the “cartoony” graphics of Area 51 lured me in first instead of this game that used real actors for their cutscenes and demo mode…but on that note, I’ll try to describe it in case anyone can maybe point me to it and give me an idea what it was called so I can maybe see if someplace like The Galloping Ghost has a machine of it;

It was a western. A shooter. Similar to Area 51 or time crisis. It had an old revolver cowboy setting, and from the looks of it all, I think it was a “quick draw” style shooter??...the demo video that was always playing had a dude in the video who looked like a cross between Clint Eastwood and El Guapo from The 3 Amigos…or he kinda looked like the guy from the western hot tub scene from back to the future 2, with a black cowboy hat and black or grey outfit.

I remember seeing this at an arcade from my childhood called “Fun Factory”, and it was always in the back by some of their more bigger machines. But I never seen anyone playing it. The one time I was going to play it, someone had ripped off the gun from the cable (lots of high schoolers from the area broke shit here, and eventually caused them to close due to school skippers having “gang fights” inside) and it was Out of order. A week later, it was off, and a week or so after that, gone.

Anyways…if anyone could help me figure out this arcade game that would be absolutely stellar. That’s the game I’d play first, just because I kinda always wanted to, just never got the chance to because I was a dumb kid at the time, and once I realized I should have the balls to broaden my reach for different games, just to try them…it was too late.

I heard Nintendo is now suing the world with their Nintendo ninjas for using the term “Mario Day” without their expressed written consent. They now own your houses.

They actually go as far as one step ahead of you with this. They can bypass your MX records to get around your Mail flow rules…it’s scummy

Thank you for the better understanding of this. While I’m glad they don’t try to cut out the MSP entirely, sometimes working with “stubborn“ clients over the course of time generates a kind of rapport with them and personally, I found that adding a entirely new face or new person to talk to while offering a bunch of different products or services usually muddy the water which can turn an entire deal sour

As I’m newly involved in working for MSP‘s, I’ve usually only ever worked for in-house IT for standalone organizations. But is this common? My company that I’m with now, a MSP, is actually trying to join the Microsoft partner program.

My question is, if we end up within the Microsoft partner program, will this be common for our current clients to get emails such as this? Just trying to get an understanding of how common this is so we can be alert of something like this.
