Corsair Pool Boy posted:Or the time I had to start yelling and arguing when I was trying to cancel my service after they lied to me both over the phone and in person and left me with a bill about $40 a month (plus an installation fee) more than had been agreed to over the phone. I had to say some variation of 'turn it off' or 'cancel my service' ten times before they did, and then said they could not give me any form of communication confirming it. Fortunately I did not keep getting billed. Which reminds me I was going to cancel mine today but that was when they were down. It would be funny to call and cancel and then tell them I’m getting 1gbps for $50, not an introductory price, from a provider that is still legally required to follow net neutrality, but not worth the time.

RFC2324 posted:I remember a buddy who worked as a PC tech telling me his company had a policy of just reformatting and reinstalling any ME systems that came in that were around 6 months old, and telling anyone who had an install much older than that to buy a new computer because ME will physically damage the hardware after around 6 months. I never saw any reason to challenge the assertion, it made perfect sense to me Wasn't this around the same era as those terrible capacitors out of Taiwan that wrecked a lot of motherboards/computers?

poo poo. Does this motherboard I want to buy have that issue?  Whew. Okay. Every single "enthusiast" and higher board now mentions it has solid caps because of that. Even my LGA 1151 board still mentions it, though the blurb is a lot smaller now.

Looks like it, tho that wasn't what they were talking about. The claim was that the whole OS was basically a bad driver, and would additionally corrupt itself to the point of catastrophic if not wiped regularly. It was mostly bullshit, but i remember there being a bunch of super bad drivers in that era.

You were better off with win98 SE at the time or windows 2000 (if your computer could run it).

My only experience with WinME is that it was installed on a lovely second-hand PC my parents bought for me approx 1999-2000, and a few months later while I was playing Half-Life it bluescreened and upon reboot half the files on my hard drive were corrupted.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Same here, though I was impressed that WinME came with System Restore. My own problems with WinME was actually centered around this. For some reason, System Restore was oblivious to the 'how much of the drive can I use to back poo poo up' setting, and kept filling up the drive with 'backups' of 'important' files. By the time I hit 0 bytes free, there were literally hundreds of thousands of files in some trash folder I couldn't delete. I tried deleting it from a DOS prompt (because Explorer choked on so many files) but even after hours of waiting, it wasn't even close to done yet. This was the only time I abandoned a Windows OS by downgrading back to the previous version.

My wife's family had a Windows ME machine back when she and I were in high school. Her Dad reinstalled the OS so often she took to calling the reformat-reinstall process "rebooting".

Friend installing WinME after a fresh reformat, it got to some part checking network connections of all things. “Checking connection, attempt 1 of 100..” Wasn’t plugged in. After an hour or so it hits 100 and presents the worst error screen I’ve ever seen. Bright red text flashing, big ‘FATAL ERROR’ over and over.

Emphasizing the country of origin and chemistry of their capacitors, which was a pretty odd thing to devote the limited graphics space on the back of your product for. They STILL talk about having solid caps because of that. And I've still dealt with the fallout of that plague more recently since all the monitors at my work from that era starting dying off rapidly around 2012, while many of the older ones are still chugging along.

Her Dad reinstalled the OS so often she took to calling the reformat-reinstall process "rebooting". Sounds about right, was the only way I found out to fix a cd rom driver issue. It would just stop recognizing it as a valid piece of hardware and no amount of manually adding would solve it. But somehow doing a remiage the cd-rom would be ready to go on first boot up.

There used to be a thing around that era where your CD-ROM would become a DVD-ROM and not read anything - that ended up being something stupid in the registry in XP days. Wonder if it existed back for 98/ME as well.

My first computer that was mine and not my family's was a Dell with ME. I thought I was just really bad at computers and didn't realize until years later it want really my fault. If nothing else, I learned a lot about Windows troubleshooting! Dell's hardware was great, though. That monitor lasted like 12 years, and the speakers survived even longer, I didn't replace them until I knocked a full very large class of water into one of them.

It probably wasn't loading MSCDEX or something, or whatever the equivalent driver was for 95/98/ME

Username and image check out. A ticket came in: "I just received an email saying my staff did not complete required education by the deadline, but my manager view shows them as compliant without anything overdue." Response: "It appears that you canceled their mandatory education assignment. Your manager view correctly shows them as compliant because they have, in fact, done everything that wasn't canceled." I do wish the system displayed more intelligently, but still.

Infosec is the laziest line of work too. All you do is say no to everything, and if there's nothing to say no to you just run a Nessus scan against something and send the report without providing context, demanding immediate action.

Realtalk though, while the infosec field is very diverse and has lots and lots of great people, there are a lot of lazy and incompetent people (like any industry I guess). I've had to deal with my fair share of lazy rear end "pentesters" who run OpenVAS and scream bloody murder at ridiculous non-issues, like OMG YOU RUN APACHE 2.4.something THAT IS SO OLD". Yeah buddy I run CentOS ever heard of backporting? geez.

"You need to update these routers, here's a list why off a chainmail I got" "Those vulnerabilities don't affect us, here's why. Also upgrading will literally break everything due to an unresolved bug on the updated code, see attachment." 2 weeks later: "Why aren't they updated yet? This is preposterous. We're completely open to attack!" CC: CIO, COO, Your Boss From: CSO
