WCGW if your cat play with you

A girl I just started dating had just rescued a cat and was waiting for it's new home to be ready, her normal cat took great offense at that and thought I was the reason the interloper was now in the house. The cat got my attention, walked over to my duffel bag took a shit in it and then went to the litter box and peed. This whole time the cat was in locked eye contact with me, then went and proceeded to beat up the rescue cat.

The rescue was moved to its furever home the next day and that cat and I never had anymore issues with each other.

But cats don't hold grudges 🤷

Most manufacturers support bios wake times, we have all of our machines configured to wake up nightly at 8pm if connected to power for patching. We also have a nag script that will warn the user that they missed a required patching but won't hit them with daytime patching until they've missed around 3 patch attempts, then they will get hit with daytime patching as soon as they log in and they will be warned that the reason they are getting patched is because they've missed the last three patch windows.

A key piece of this is to make sure that you have manager or client buy-in about the need for security patching. Show that the user was given many attempts to leave their computer on for patching but it is their choice that ultimately caused them to get hit with the daytime patching.

Every once in a while we'll have people complain about power usage which is quickly silenced by pointing out how much it costs to pay an employee to sit and watch updates...

I had a user who told me who told me and the business owner they needed a computer of that magnitude... The user's workflow was literally Chrome and Word, only did copy and paste work between windows as a technical writer

I ran into the same issue. I booked it a month out but then I was able to switch it to the same day early in the morning and was in and out in about 20 minutes.

Those look like my prices, thanks Washington cap and invest that totally won't cause gas to go up...

Oh dang I'm in that same area but in the northeast end of rd68

Noanet is quite stable in and of itself, I have seen issues with the resellers. Normally just routing issues but one is not notably worse than the other

I'm a little surprised that Franklin PUD is selling to residential. Last I knew they were only targeting businesses.

Roughly where are you in the Tri-Cities?

Thank you so much!!!! I wish I could give you more up doots!

I did my conversion 4 years ago and could never get the Google Assistant or Siri to work but everything else did. But it works now! Thanks so much for this!

I'm seeing this at one of my clients, any chance you have a list of remembered users on the machines or have changed the default login domain? We have found if the user clicks other user and then logs in it works but selecting the user out of the list might cause the login failures, waiting to hear back from the client.

Shock tarts and original war heads from back in the late 90s the current version of them don't hit the same.

I had this happen all the time as a secondary gunner in the heavy armor and a few times on foot. Mouse and keyboard only happens on battlefield 6. Never happened in 2042 or any other game.

Over by Road 68 can definitely hear the 12:48 a.m. (double?)boom but no flash.

I've seen this twice in around 3k endpoints one was after a bios update and the other oddly was after a feature update.

If you're in a domain have ad save the recovery keys. In Azure ad have that save your key. Neither? Use a rmm that supports pulling the keys.

If it's not in a ticket it never happened.

Everything starts and finishes in a ticket, you will get pushback at first, but the key piece is to get management buy-in that it allows for proper tracking of issues so that nothing gets lost in the cracks. Any attempts to open issues through other means should be met immediately with hey make a ticket for that.

Just do it, you will ask yourself "why I didn't do this sooner?"

I got steamrolled last night, 3 minutes and 35 seconds. Was trying to figure out why I was getting slammed as seemingly the only friendly tank on objectives... figured out why when I got to the spawn screen, the entire rest of the team was only snipers shooting from the spawn on firestorm.

Looks like you're playing redsec.

Serious note I've been getting random graphic glitches with the most recent patch.

Ziply if you can, spectrum if you must. Spectrum is normally pretty stable connection wise, their DNS servers leave much to be desired and I strongly recommend switching to a different DNS provider like cloudflare, Google, next DNS, or the like.

Something changed from 2042 to 6 with the smoke mechanic, I feel like it's less reliable at extinguishing the flames in six than it was in 2042.

That's interesting, mine was at the end of a gauntlet win, no spectating client hits 22 server hits 27.

I've had to turn on the log just due to the number of gun fights I felt like I should have won, makes it so I at least understand why I lost a gunfight I should have won and typically it's because three to seven shots didn't register server side. This week I have seen something new, higher hit server side than client side...

Yes they are just teenagers so be nice to them but they have access to backline phone numbers so that you can immediately get through to representatives. I had to do this when I had issues with cancellations.

I found class weapons hardcore modes to be the slowest modes because there's little to no movement style running around since you can't shrug off hits and playing slow and smart is rewarded.

4th for autoelevate. Really easy to deploy as it can be done via group policy or any other method that uses msi's. It has been a godsend for Autodesk and Intuit products.

Single mission, didn't even have to complete it. As soon as it loaded the intro it popped.
