We spent two hours or so explaining how these were not govt mind control ray emitters and how they do not cause headaches or cancer in people living 50 miles from a highly directional transceiver on a mountain.

Category: Other Is there any kind of tilt switch in the Server equipment? We are going to lift one side of the server cabinets being very careful with the cabling, so the flooring can be installed under these cabinets later today at least he asked i guess

mewse posted:Eh I'm sure they have enough expertise to ensure the entire thing doesn't tip over, proven by the fact that they're asking if it would be OK to tip it It's a bunch of electricians/millwrights along with some contractors at a manufacturing plant redoing the office area and the messed up floor along with it. The server room lives in this general neighborhood. They are going to jack it up and rig something so it hopefully doesn't fall and crush someone to death. It's a 24/7 facility and they don't want to wait for a down time to power poo poo off so we aren't tipping live disk arrays. Can just hope they don't drop poo poo or tip it beyond the agreed upon 15ish degrees. Disk failure rates are super awesome once you start operating at a steep angle. These same folks moved the ATT demarc box a few weeks ago in spite of all of the warning stickers that said do not open do not touch and hosed all the fiber up until it got re-terminated, so I'm basically waiting for the slew of system down messages.

DigitalRaven posted:The only appropriate response is "No you're loving not, sunshine." guppy posted:So you already have evidence that they don't know what they're doing. Do not allow them to do a thing that a. will probably gently caress up your equipment and b. will push the equipment failure down the road so they can't be provably at fault. Plant managers in this company have a fair bit of leeway to make those kind of calls if they want to for things at their own plant. However after getting safety involved they put a hard stop to the whole thing so crisis averted. Most of my onsite dotted line guys are electricians. They aren't that bad usually if you can keep them away from fiber... which is hard. There are some rogue fusion splicers around and I have at least gotten it so if they emergency repair something, we get someone in after during a shutdown to test out and likely reterminate. On average they are content to not bother with my poo poo as long as it works and they don't have to. They have better things to do and don't want to connect to the UCS or some complex switch configuration unless they absolutely must.

For sure just saying "yeah" to dumb questions to make them stop wasting your time can bite you in the rear end if they come back two years later with your email and go "SEE THE I.T. MAN SAID THE CISCO SCANS FOR VIRUSES! IT'S HIS FAULT" and then you're fired for a dumb as hell reason Jaded Burnout posted:Phrase it better. "I can confirm we scan for viruses weekly". Make true statements an let them put the word "cisco" in there. Is a better answer that doesn't expose you to future stupidity.

nullfunction posted:My (now) wife was shocked that I didn't own a printer when we met. I explained to her why I don't have one and told her that if she wanted a printer in the house, that she was welcome to get one but I wouldn't support it in any way. I had this exact same conversation but she did actually buy a printer that mostly collects dust on top of my desk. It's used so infrequently that half the time when she tries to print some random rear end thing the heads are dried up. I did admittedly show her how to clean the heads and try to recover the cartridge but other than that one time I haven't touched the loving thing and never will

Entropic posted:HP laserjets used to be indestructible. The laser jet IIIs and 5s from the mid 90s were built like tanks, and a lot of them are still running today. There is a laser jet 5 sitting on a table at a biomass power plant i support (I don't support the printer, the plant). That loving thing is filled with conductive ash and all kinds of poo poo and the outside looks like it was thrown down a burning mountainside. I have seen them "service" it by having a guy come over to blow it out with compressed air. Still works and the local guy just installs a maintenance kit from time to time.

It always annoys the poo poo out of me when they take a perfectly good thing like the snipping tool and make a new version with a random assortment of features instead of just updating the one that works already that most of the user base is familiar with. I use shutter currently and just snip stuff from my VDI instead of using snipping tool anymore.
