Got some last-minute new hire notifications I meant to take care of after our company-wide Town Hall meeting today. But it turns out our company is getting bought so things were a little more exciting than usual so I totally forgot about them. It's time like this that your Powershell scripts turn into more than just resume fodder

MF_James posted:My dad fell for a scam a bit ago, well sort of, he got one of those pop-ups that told him he had an infection and to call whatever number, gave the guy remote access and answered some questions (SSN etc etc), but when it came time to pay the dude, he wanted $480 and my dad talked him into a senior discount to make it $380. At this point he finally decided to call one of his 2 sons that work in IT, he got hold of my brother first and he obviously squashed everything. Bit late, but my 70 yearold father had one of those cold calls where they claim to be from Microsoft and have detected a virus on your machine (then get you to install teamviewer and bend over). He let them talk for a good 45 minutes, doing the fake investigations, going through the various fault finding processes and playing along. They were struggling to get the teamviewer to connect while he asked "is it because of the virus?". He knew drat well he didn't have the internet in his home. He just gets bored...

I really hate the inconsistent version numbering file name conventions AVAYA uses even within the same products. Somehow ADMIN10_1_0_0_3.zip is the more recent version than ADMIN10_1_237.zip I guess there’s an implied _0_0 in the second one. I mean, why would you ever want your files to sort alphabetically by version?

Yeah, same as having 1.3 being older than 1.23. If you know you're going into two numbers then use 1.03 to avoid the ambiguity of it all, or have the delineators be obvious.

The preceding zero is one of those things that just aggravates by its absence. 2018-1-1 vs 2018-01-01 makes me crazy.

It feels pretty good, for once, to be the guy yelling at another company over how they need to check their own poo poo before reporting an outage on my end. Sorry, poor NOC person, who probably just called me because the process said to and had to cover their own rear end.

My current job, we had a construction vehicle down the road know down out power over the summer. We were required to stay on property for 4 hours before they would allow us to go home. The power outage lasted a bit over 3.5 hours, sadly, but I did get a nice nap in my car, and we were payed for that time.

Zil posted:Oh look, the clocks are speeding up for some reason. You joke, but they're still fixing all the European clocks that derive time from 50Hz AC instead of network or atomic clock. All because of a country not providing power to the European grid for political reasons and that caused the frequency to dip ever so slightly, clocks ended up 6 minutes slow. And now they're running the mains at slightly elevated frequency to let those clocks catch up again.

https://thehustle.co/european-clocks-serbian-power-grid/ Basically, there's a lot of ethnic Serbians who live in Northern Kosovo that refuse to pay their electricity bills and Kosovo stopped providing power to them for free in December, this slight dip in the amount of power provided to the entirety of europe caused clocks to lose 6 minutes in the last 3 months.

Yeah, and moreover, every department and every person in every department can see the common share. That's why it's common. I can restrict access just as well to folders in each share! poo poo, if you really really REALLY don't want people to know it exists, I'll call a folder A, and then make it so no one can open that but you. I just don't understand the thought process.

Windows seriously needs a "can not be moved or renamed" flag for folders. The number of calls about folders gone missing because someone accidentally dragged it into a neighboring one... I wonder if some deny-permission applied to EVERYONE on just the folder itself (not recursively) could do the trick.
