Reminds me of that image of "alternative fuses" that includes ammunition, retaining clips, and a wrench.

They should have included an actual fuse and annotated it "(Deprecated)".

Original ticket submitted July 2017: "Please block this phone number from incoming calls" (my co-worker): Okay, done. Ticket closed. Ticket reopened today: "Please unblock this number" (my co-worker): Is it urgent? "It's [managing partner]'s home number. It was blocked when they were separated but now they've reconciled and she has health issues so yes, he says it is urgent." drat  hope things end up okay.

240v on some screws. It makes no sense either because those power leads are easy to get hold of.

I might have asked this once but how many amps is a penny? Like, when you use a penny as a fuse it doesn't melt, but there's presumably some amperage which would cause it to melt?

A penny in an old time fuse socket will easily let over 50 amps cross it for an extended time, and people would do it on circuits where continuous use over 15 or 20 amps would quickly lead to an electrical fire.

Depends on the penny. Pennies after 1982 have considerably more resistance since they're mostly zinc.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Depends on the penny. Also depends on how the penny is clamped in place. I could see 50-100 amps easily on an old copper penny if you were able to get a really solid connection, and 25-30 if the connectors were less robust. New penny? Maybe 15ish? Useful as a fuse, but burning zinc isnt OSHA at all.

Man... the poor bastard that took over the handling of all the printer/copier responsibilities from me is really in for it. %department% needs a new copier. They have 2 options; buy one or get in on our Xerox contract. We recommended they purchase one, because adding one to our contract is gonna be hella expensive until we have time to negotiate a new contract. They say they can't afford to buy one. Ok... but our purchase recommendation is less than half the cost of a 1 year lease with Xerox. We get a quote for a lease back from Xerox $500/mo plus $650 delivery fee. %Manager% replies "Think we need to push Xerox harder for lower price as we are renewing and not putting out an RFP"

Speaking of printers. We don’t give local printers unless you’re a VP or deal with payroll. HR mid manager tells me to give a printer to her new HR assistant. I tell her that policy is that my boss and her VP need to approve. This happens when my boss is on vacation. She says she can’t wait and to do it now. I tell her no. Boss returns and she is waiting for him and says I need to be talked to about how I’m hard to deal with, I always say no, and that I need to learn how to better serve customers. My boss tells me all this and I’m getting livid. He goes on to say that he told her there is no way her assistant is getting a printer and that I handled the situation exactly as he expected me to. Good. I hate that HR lady, always asking for poo poo and throwing a fit when she doesn’t get her way.

"Customers?" Are you working for an MSP, because if you're internal IT, anything other than "colleague" is loving unacceptable.

Eikre posted:"Customers?" Depends on your org. When everyone is in Battlin’ Business Units everything is cross-charged. So everyone outside your BU is a “customer”. Personally, I think it’s dumb since it’s really just shuffling money around internally. But then again I’m not in finance, so maybe there’s some accounting advantage to it.

I've been on the new team long enough to have forgotten that I technically do work for an MSP embedded in capital-C Customer's IT department. mllaneza fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Apr 4, 2019 |

We don’t do chargebacks or anything but some upper management decided that they wanted to rebrand IT as a service organization without doing any of the heavy lifting of properly implementing ITIL/ITSM so now users/coworkers/colleagues are arbitrarily customers. Achievement unlocked.

The basic logic is that if stupid rear end IT/facilities requests come out of your budget, you'll be more frugal about ordering 20 Macbook airs for your interns or whatever the gently caress. "Its not my money so what do I care?" There is always a shitload of politics and budget fuckery though, so it comes down to who can lie to your face most effectively and who can complain enough until youncabe just to shut them up.

Macs are poo poo for business, especially when they need to be centrally managed. I say that as someone who uses a touchbar MBP for work, and I still agree with it. That being said, the little convenience things of being on a *nix-based system, even with the large amounts of fuckery that come with OSX, in a Unix/Linux team are nice. But there's no way I'd have a problem doing my job if they suddenly said that Macs are going away. I need a browser and a terminal. I could do my job on a RPi.

Getting DEP and Jamf set up and working properly eliminates like 90% of the complaints I have about Macs in a corp environment, it really is low effort once that's done. And most of the remaining problems are software idiosyncrasies that we expect our users to be able to figure out since they requested a MacBook in the first place.

More expense, more expertise, and the OSX version of Teams is an utter circus-park dumpster fire. I don't have to manage it, so it doesn't matter to me. I like the hardware and I'm an OS agnostic, so if they want to spend $3-4k for me I'll use it.
