And the actual licensed forklift operator would get in trouble for not properly supervising the executive who was just trying to help/understand the job better.

Arquinsiel posted:I think I either did it just before expiration was introduced or I knew I would never give a gently caress about it after getting it anyway. Don't think I have ever mentioned having it or even had opportunity to when talking to a potential employer. Mine was done with office 2000 and windows xp so i'm absolutely sure it's expired. It gave me an extra credit in public sector hiring so it paid for itself.

I could've made the ticket myself or just asked him to send an email. He did call the next day about some email thing, spoke to a colleague and told him to pass on an apology to me for having been a little short, which was nice.

Yeah I've got one of these guys at the moment, raises a ticket then immediatley sends a slack message with "Hello Phil, <LINK TO TICKET>" And then if I don't respond instantly I've got the slack notification noise pinging in my ear as he parcels his thoughts out into four word chunks. He's great at all other aspects of getting his ticket sorted, and he listens so we never get the same thing from him twice, but my guy, your organisation wants us to follow a priority order for your tickets, you can't just jump the queue without talking to your colleagues.

I am currently being tasked to make sure the installed apps will be auto updated but having zero budget until proven impossible to do otherwise. It seems that if you want to have your intune managed computers update the software present using winget, the standard praxis is to deploy a freeware software https://github.com/Weatherlights/Winget-AutoUpdate-Intune to pretty much trigger "winget update --all" at logon. I kinda hate this windows "linuxification" where even something as mundane as software updating requires a network of scripts and daemons running in the background. Winget is a microsoft product, why the hell cannot intune handle this instead of "random package 1001" ?

Intune is a good product but the constant nickel-and-diming involved in all subscription products feels like it's going to be a bubble that bursts one day. I'll use it for as long as I'm not the one paying.

Your place actually updated software? I wouldn't know anything about that use case. You can't update third party software, especially web browsers. Yeah there's security holes everywhere but what if you push an update and that makes an internal website or PDF look funny?

A third party package manager does all the heavy lifting in managing your applications in intune. https://andrewstaylor.com/2024/06/03/comparing-package-managers/ We use PatchMyPC, and it's great just to mostly set and forget.

Why. Why. Why. Why... the gently caress... would you Reply-All to a vendor holiday party invite? And then provide WAY more information than necessary to decline. Nobody loving cares if you go. And even fewer people care why you're not going. I feel like I'm really embodying the jaded part of the thread title this morning. But it's too early to start drinking.

Love reaching out to a non-IT user at a remote site asking them to verify something very simple (wifi network availability), and they're too loving stupid to understand the request was just asking for a simple yes or no answer, while also trying to show me how smart they are by "figuring" out the problem for me with screenshots from our intranet site. Literally just asked "hey, can you tell me if X network appears in the wifi networks available to you?' and proceeded to get the one user who must prove how smart he is to everyone who interacts with him.

If you support remote sites with zero remote hands and need insights into Wi-Fi availability then look at those Cape Networks sensors that Aruba bought, I'm sure Cisco has something as well.

Some of the thousandeyes stuff built into secureclient (aka anyconnect) for Cisco. Palo has ADEM for the global protect client, Zscaler has ZDX, lot of stuff in the user experience space especially post COVID.

Nah it's even dumber than that, it's a third party site where our employees go occasionally, so I have zero access to that sites systems. Our employees kept reporting that the wifi network there was insufficient, so we reached out to the third parties IT shop, they told us another network is available to us so long as our users use the creds they were given. So I just need to confirm our users can actually see and get on that network. But asking a medical professional "Do you see this wireless network?" And "Can you try signing into it with the creds you were given by that sites IT department?" is a total pain in the rear end for reasons I'm sure this thread is well aware of.

If there's plugins that would create helpdesk calls if they don't load then there are policies that can be set to force them to load (so users cannot turn them off), and one that prevents Outlook from automatically disabling them.

Yeah, but Outlook plainly states that these addins are slowing it down, and I've never seen this message before. Can't you disable them? I think my account needs to be moved to a different server, this one is too laggy and it takes longer than usual to start my computer in the morning. Some of my co-workers were also getting the same message on their computers, can you help them too?

About a year ago I had a well meaning but ultimately clueless customer with slow speeds/connection problems look at the logs of his modern and see errors on a specific frequency. When he pushed the also well meaning but equally clueless customer service rep, they stated that frequency shouldn't have been there because it was a video frequency and they weren't a video customer, which was not true. By the time it came to my attention, a very vocal customer was demanding we put a filter on what was actually the OFDM PLC (which is the magic that makes 1 gig over coax work) and a field tech was en route to actually do it. The whole thing just made me sad. Access to that information was limited, access to the training to make use of that information was non existent, and access to the people who have the knowledge of both is restricted even harder. The only reason I found out was because of an unofficial escalation that by all rights I should have just ignored. These kinds of customers are monsters and the industry has created them through their dog poo poo service that requires customers to dabble into dark arts nobody really understands. The whole thing makes me sad. Now I'm sad. My boss has a new coffee mug awarded to him for raising a security issue, who then refused to fix the issue, and he got punished for raising it from his boss with more work for us. Everything's bad.
