I did that today by accident when asked for some small subset of a tiny data file. It has never mattered to me before because I rarely email spreadsheets, and never happened to notice that taking entire columns or lines actually fills the empty cells with space-occupying "null" values :negative:

I got a request today that an external client is trying to call into Webex but it "fails." Dialling a phone number and entering 9 digits is too hard for some people.

I keep having issues with people joining RingCentral Meetings (rebranded Zoom) and finding that some 24/7 video sex chat has been using whatever number they used to schedule the meeting. Because apparently Zoom only reserves a room code for the exact time period of the meeting, and if a previous meeting uses that code and doesn't close out... whoops!

"I entered your meeting details and ended up in a sex chat" would be entirely more interesting, and at least proof they could figure out how to join the meeting.

This is also why we disable the ability for certain departments' users to have a permanent ad-hoc meeting number.

Probably a dumb question but I've been doing serverless for so long that my Windows Server knowledge is apparently starting to fade away.

Is there a way to build a Windows Server VM that authenticates with Azure Active Directory? And I don't mean "Azure AD Domain Services" but rather Azure Active Directory itself. I *think* Windows 10 is able to do this, but I don't know if it's possible with Windows Server. Is anyone able to confirm or deny this for me?

EDIT: I have no need for Group Policies or anything like that, this is simply for the authentication-via-Azure-AD part

Amusingly, my trainer was telling me about his forex group using free Zoom and occasionally ending up in the wrong meetings because their time allotment expires. I asked if it was ever sex chats, and he gave me a really confused look and said, "...nooooo, why?"

10 years ago I did phone tech support for Verizon. They started a short lived service called Premium Tech Support, where the goal was to "solve any computer problem the caller had, for a fee".

ANY problem. We weren't allowed to say no, or that we didn't know how to fix it. It was honestly a pretty good gig while it lasted, but a few callers were... special.

One of them was having problems getting their Naked News Network to stream, so I had to screenshare with them to troubleshoot. They made me stay connected to their screen for 20 minutes while they watched an episode, to make sure it would work right.

Another one needed help uploading his home made gay porn to a yahoo group... this also needed screen sharing, but he had the folder with his videos in it set to auto-play thumbnails of the videos.

A third one was blind and lonely and kept calling in to try and reach a female tech (we only had a few) to get help setting up his online dating profile. We actually had to eventually ban this person from calling it.

Oh boy, I had a walk-in client like that once.

Dude dropped off his laptop first thing when we opened and said someone in his household had "set a password on it" as a "prank." Sure, whatever, I don't get paid enough to maintain my fields of fucks to give. I throw in a WinPE disc with a password remover and do the deed. Then I boot it up to make sure and...oh. Oh my. Seems dude really like Polish amateur porn performers (based on the watermark URL) with individual breasts bigger than my entire torso. He likes them enough to make them his desktop background! Neat. Gross. I ran a quick AV scan and shut the computer down.

Dude comes back, and he insists that I boot up the machine so he can see that the password is gone. I hand it to him with a power cable and tell him he's welcome to use a bench and the shop's wifi to make sure everything's ready to his satisfaction. Dude definitely wanted to watch me boot up his porn dispenser and grumbled the whole time while he sat at the bench checking things over while I worked with my back to him.

He did not tip.

There's also an equipment rental shop in Newberg, OR where the owner's father works and uses the POS systems up front to watch porn the whole time. Apparently when the Sonicwall I installed started blocking porn, he went on a rampage and ripped out all the equipment that had been installed most recently.

Retail tech support is the loving worst.

I sold a customer a laptop.

They asked if it had wifi. I said don't worry, all laptops have wifi these days.

The next day (thankfully when I wasn't in) they came in screaming that I said all laptops have webcams but the one I sold them did not.

That reminds me of a situation from years ago, when I did residential, in-home repair work. A guy called up because the popups on Gay.com weren't working, and this being 2007, the popups were chat/message windows.

Went out, addressed the issue, moved on with life.

He called back a few weeks later because of an issue that I diagnosed as a failing power supply. It was a desktop, and easy enough to replace, but I didn't have the a spare on-hand at the time, so I took it with me. Got the spare, asked my boss/dispatcher to schedule returning it the next day. He put it off, and eventually I was at the end of the day, driving over to the guy's house, and verified with my boss/dispatcher that I was good for a drop-off. Boss called to confirm, and called me back saying "Yeah, you're good for drop-off, but he sounded a little pissed. Heads up walking in there."

I got there probably ten minutes later, and found that not only was my client there, he had a gentleman friend there. In the same room where the computer lived. With a blanket over his lap. In Florida. In August.

I quickly hooked up the computer, collected payment, and left. I did not get a tip.
