Ugh, one of the triggers in the new error reporting system is for a service we don't give a gently caress about. It's now flapping...on all 38 servers. Every time it flaps, I get an email. From each server. :psyboom:

I don't understand how that even happens. I had a tiny dust plug once and the laptop started shutting down every 10 minutes until I fixed it.

Reminds me of a case that was passed on to me when I turned up for my first intern role. I was deskside support for AIG back in 2005, and the building in Dublin was having a full renovation so people were moving from floor to floor every couple of weeks as work started and finished. One user reported that the CD drive in their old Dell Optiplex GX260 SFF box had somehow broken during the move. Upon investigation the solution was to pick up the monitor, move it to one side, grab the machine, flip it over, put the monitor back... and try not to call the dude an idiot.

I had a laptop come in smashed to bits, with practically every internal competent thrown into a ziplock bag. The customer would only say "My baby got to it!" and refused to give any more details. I asked her if she was sure her baby wasn't actually a grizzly bear in disguise and she, for some mysterious reason, got really offended.

The best I can think of is that it got ran over by a car, but even then I wouldn't expect it to be in pieces like that. Maybe dropped from several stories up? The heat sink was bent in some way that I could never have hoped to replicate, and certainly couldn't have done it with a hammer.

Man, I wish this offer was real.

I'd take a couple of PowerBook G4s from 2005 or so - they're the last PowerPC generation with the Johnny Ive industrial design before compromises set in (either from a design perspective, or from a hardware perspective).

An email came in...

quote:

Hi all,

You will recall my last message about Slack recently and my desire to retire the use of the enterprise version. I have also spoken to many of you about this, although the intended dates have moved forward somewhat.

Due to the duplication of the Slack tool usage at <company> with the Microsoft Teams alternative we will not be renewing the Slack license.

As the license is only renewed annually, we have chosen to terminate the account now. Please take immediate action to store your channels and relocate your integrations as applicable. It is the responsibility of each team to manage their own Slack integrations. Your team channels will disappear and you will lose access to your channel history. Any files stored in the channel will be lost. Any data in the channels will be lost. You will need to make arrangements for data export to avoid this.

This change is imminent depending on when Slack terminates the account - I have rejected the invoice payment today.

There will be some inconvenience caused and I will be happy to discuss your concerns however the decision is made and will not be reviewed. If you choose to renew your Slack license using your credit card please note your manager will need to approve the claim. I understand from what I have read that accounts may drop back to free accounts therefore some collaboration may still be possible. To assist with the transition, in September we will ask the security team to block access to the Slack domains for a period of time to ensure adoption of the endorsed toolset.

I recommend that each team urgently reviews any monitoring integration for production systems as a priority to avoid extended business impact.

So we've been forced onto Teams from today and man, it's bad. It's so bad

That happened to us, but Google Hangouts/Chat.

Apparently I still have a Slack account on my corp email, and there is a team still using it elsewhere in the organization. One of them pinged me on Chat and asked why I wasn't returning their Slack messages.

Yeah, holy loving poo poo. If we pulled that with one of our products, our business units would loving freak. Also, I hope you're not in finance or healthcare or any other business that has mandatory retention periods. Like, I'm betting that could have been rectified with a ten-minute phone call with the slack rep, and a request for a grace period (even if they billed you for a month for it).

User with that cracked hinge gets a pass. Laptops can be some really brittle piles of garbage these days; it's some poo poo That Pisses Me Off. I really hoped that economy of scale and the fact that they've had the same form factor for twenty years would have solved the problem even after they started making them for down-market sale but half the machines I see seem to be skating by on the expectation that you never actually, like, bring them anywhere.

That Slack cancelation has me empathetically incensed, too. I haven't been saddled with Teams yet but I've had to use the outlook365 website and it blows. Everything is so big for the sake of touchacreens, so the information density is cut to a third, and some of their elementary composition choices seem like a backslide in immediate clarity compared to software from 1998. I'll learn whatever tool or technology anyone wants me to and comfortably endure the requisite stupid-rear end design decisions, but when it's one of those extremely basic, principal information portals and there's no room to customize or automate it to get my hands around it, then it just filters my whole world through a cognitive haze for eight hours a day.

I don't know, maybe I'm low-key dyslexic or something.

I actually did something like that the first time I ever saw "kindly revert" in a ticket. I had just made a hardware change and they replied to me with "kindly revert on what has been done" and I thought the "on" was a typo or something, so I happily went and undid the hardware changes. They were furious, and got even more mad when I stated that they asked me to revert what had been done, and I did exactly that.

Luckily my manager was chill and smoothed it over but cripes that was a learning experience.

I skipped ahead from Oct to this page, and you had just posted the exact same story. I was v confused
