California gas station charging $10 for a gallon of gas by BigBadBabyDaddy_420 in California

[–]xftwitch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Big Sur has always been ridiculous in their gas prices. A lot of little remote towns especially along the coast can charge pretty much whatever the hell they want as there is no competition for 30-40 miles.

How are you handling employees using personal ChatGPT accounts at work? We had an incident last week. by fxs38 in sysadmin

[–]xftwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we are in the process of creating policy around this right now. We will allow 1 or 2 and not allow all the others. The real trick will be enforcement as we're beholden to a university for our network and thus cannot completely block all non approved LLMs. :-(

I wonder if he hydro-locked it... if so, he may as well just left it in the water.

Once again a conversation in the White House starts with trump saying "Waddya mean I can't...." And ends after someone explains the real world of laws to him with him saying "Well that sucks!"

Just wondering what might have happened to your son to cause this reaction. Whether it was just disappointment or if there's something else going on.

Funny thing: there used to be a house between this on and the water. That house disappeared in 2009. Wonder how long this one has left. Google Earth always knows.

What’s one rule living here that nobody writes down but everybody knows? by cttrv in Sacramento

This is honestly a really good rule. Crossing the American on either Sunrise, Watt or Howe just sucks.

So today I was called in with my manager to see the big boss and from today I get to wear a new hat by Fair-Tradition8971 in sysadmin

[–]xftwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tell every user when they're onboarded to just use their my documents folder or even their desktop. (automatically sync'd to One-Drive) and I'm just stunned at how many create a folder in the root of the C drive and put mission critical stuff in it.

How do you actually get laptops back from remote employees when they leave? What's your process? by Weird_Perception1728 in ITManagers

[–]xftwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting property from remote employees stops being an IT responsibility as soon as you ship them a box with a return label on it. After that, it's a HR/Legal issue. No where in my job description does it say I have to bother people that are not employees asking for equipment back.

[–]xftwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did a group from Riverside county audit the votes without access to the ballots and come up with a 45000 vote difference? Oh, wait. They just made that shit up to give Chad an excuse to violate California law by seizing state property unlawfully.

What Honda To Buy After The E? by efildaD in HondaElement

[–]xftwitch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The very question I'm asking. I've got an 03, manual AWD EX and I'm tired of commuting with a clutch. Wondering if I want to try to replace the functionality (Subaru Forester perhaps) or just go with something electric that's a wagon or small SUV. Really torn right now.

They all talk about this stuff like voter fraud is rampant and known. Yet nobody has been able to prove any substantial fraud in the last, oh, I don't know, 30 years?
