I'll check my work pc's setup tomorrow but yeah it's supposed to be a "machine-wide" install, but I also get the message hinting that it just did an install/major update every time it starts. Maybe I should uninstall/clean it out from AppData and let it reinstall.

Someone high up at MS needs to go and crack skulls until their applications can be distributed via the Store, and if the whole app store framework isn't suitable for an application like Office then fix that.

Remember Microsoft's decision to only have the GPO disabling the store work on Windows 10 Enterprise and not Pro E: Pissing me off - Try to make support ticket in Azure portal - It won't let me make a ticket and says I have to call the M365 support number - Call the MS365 support number - Every two minutes an automated voice reminds me that I can get support faster by making a ticket in the online portal - Two hours later is quitting time and nobody ever picked up klosterdev fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Mar 23, 2021 |

Not pissing me off: I patched 1205 lab systems (Win7 & 10) this weekend. Today we got one ticket, and that machine just needed to be rebooted again. I'm rounding that down to "nothing broke".

We have a FortiGate firewall and the FortiAnalyzer virtual machine that does the logging and reporting. Most of the time, it doesn't really work, you'll pick a couple filters on the log and it will look like it's running, but no results show, frustrating as gently caress when you're trying to diagnose something. My boss: "Yea sometimes we have to restart that VM to get it to work, I asked support about it and they didn't know how to fix it"  Probably because of it being restarted, the database files on it were corrupt one day, so I opened a FortiCase with FortiSupport, and after they fixed that FortiIssue (whacked all the logs and started it back up), I mentioned the problems we were having with the logging/search. The person on the phone said that we were logging over our limit each day (1 gig of logs), and once we hit the limit that's what happens. Made perfect sense to me, reported that back to bossman. He said, "I know but our salesperson said that shouldn't affect anything..." Anyway, I have been bitching about the logs being 75% useless because of this issue. We had a sales call of sorts with our reps, and my boss mentioned the log thing again, so we scheduled another call to look at that. First thing the guy says is "You guys are over your limits...you need to license another xxx" So then he starts with his next issue, the web usage report isn't any good because it doesn't contain enough detail. They look at the filter options, and some of them are on 'allow' and not 'monitor', so they don't log any traffic, and you can't show what you don't log. So we're going to end up having to upgrade our logging from 1gb to probably 3-4gb/day to make up for what we're short of now, and account for all the stuff we aren't counting, but want to. So I gave him a big fat "I told you so", and I increased my disdain for the trend in firewalls to nickel and dime you for every little feature.

We keep a copy of our keepass database in a fire safe, on a USB drive, along with some hard drives and tapes. The keepass file is of course encrypted. We're going to put it in another file, and encrypt that. Because "if someone found a USB drive with a keepass file on it, they would try to crack the password or upload it to the dark web"

My company made a conscious decision to have the cloud/subscription version of our software include literally everything out of the box with the only cost lever being how much compute and storage you want. We're pretty weird though.

My company made the conscious decision where if it costs money, you don't get to use it. Though security requirements have chipped away at that mindset somewhat in recent years. But we don't get nickel and dimed too much.

About a month ago there were a ton of fake shill posts in Reddit about how awesome they were. Clearly it was a /r/hailcorporate situation. I can't imagine that after the IPO they won't just revert this model back. There's no way shareholders are going to let the subscription service revenue go. Likely they'll IPO and then sell in a year or two to HP.

Lmao the machine is $400 and they think that there should be a subscription on top of that. This isn't even the cheap printer business model.

why didn't they just do this from the beginning. it seems reasonable enough and people probably would have been less mad. i personally would not pay any recurring subscription fee to cut shapes out of paper but at least this way people aren't being misled or having the rug pulled out from under themquote:earlier this week, Cricut CEO Ashish Arora partially walked back the policy change, saying any Cricut machine purchased before the end of this year—December 31, 2021—would keep unlimited access and be exempt from the subscription fee going forward.

Eventually you're buying a new machine, whether to upgrade or replace your existing one, and you get caught in the subscription.

No, you hate late stage capitalism. It's no longer enough to have a company, provide a product and/or service, pay your employees a living wage, and make a modest but flat profit that your re-invest back in the business. You must have (hopefully double digit) revenue growth year over year or your company is a failure. Maybe if you are private you can get away with being normal awhile, but eventually the venture capitalists come sniffing, the growth siren starts singing, and you sell an ownership stake in the company. From there on it's downhill and everyone expects your GROWTH to make them continual fists of money rather than the ownership be a stable investment for the future. The product ceases to be the actual product, the product is the value of ownership of the company and everything is done to pump it up as quickly as possible and cash out before it crashes.

Weedle posted:why wouldn't you just buy a non-cricut cutter Because some people are invested heavily into it by this point. My first Cricut was bought in 2008 or so. It used (expensive as gently caress) cartridges. It wasn't cloud connected. There was no cloud. Hell, a 3rd party company made a program so that you could use this thing on your desktop to make designs and send the cuts to the cutter (they are still around but surprise Cricut sued them so that software doesn't work as it did with the new machines). Then with later models Cricut made their own software and everyone was happy. You could use your cart and/or the software! Wonderful. Then they said "oh well, to use the carts you purchased umpteen years ago, you have to register it with the software and you will have access to all those designs ONLINE! Isn't that fun? (oh by the way once you do that, you can never sell the carts because they can't be un-registered)" And finally with the new Maker, there's no cart slot at all. EVERYTHING is on their cloud software. People who have been there from the beginning have a workflow and expectations and are LOATHE to buy yet another machine and have to relearn new software/workflows. (I, however, am petty as gently caress and will absolutely buy a new machine and get into a different ecosystem out of spite. Buy my poo poo so I can afford a Cameo) These aren't always young, hip people. These are literal grandmas. Cricut is loving stupid for not realizing that cloud costs money! I would be happy as gently caress to not store any of my designs there. Just let me save to my laptop or a drat usb stick.
