They were loving boring with the naming down under. New Zealand. New South Wales. Queensland. Victoria (named after a queen). Snooooooooooore. At least Tasmania was named after the explorer dude. And a buttload of suburbs and towns use the indigenous placenames which is cool.

Re: free space chat, I don't know how useful this is to you all but it has been to me in the past. If you're deploying PCs or servers to users who aren't great at managing free disk space, or teams who install all applications and log files and cache folders to C, then make it part of your process to write an empty 5-GB (for example) to each volume. Give it some kind of discreet name or make it invisible. Then, when someone comes to you with a "my disk is full and it's affecting production!" case, the very first thing you can do to get some breathing room is to delete that file. Obviously there is still the matter of the disk filling up, but this at least delays detonation.

nielsm posted:This is really strange. A user reports a Windows 10 machine has been crashing with blue screen errors several times this week, and even sent a photo of it. But when I examine the event log on the machine, I don't see any errors logged. In fact, it even looks like it the machine was shut down normally. The error code on the blue screen is "Unexpected kernel mode trap". Maybe too obvious but make sure you're looking at the same machine that they took the picture of? (Blaming the user's lack of accurate communication here, not you.)

MJP posted:There's so much "this is bullshit, you moron" - sometimes in very close to those words and tone - coming from managers to their direct reports. Whoever wrote this has zero concept of characters and humans to the point that they make Scott Adams look like Philip Roth by comparison of writing skill. The main character shouting someone down and they're perfectly happy with a pat on the shoulder after that? I seriously hope people start quitting soon. There's also the part where a character screams out "SMELLS LIKE PEOPLE HAVE BEING HAVING SEX IN HERE!", the part where they specifically mention the size of one of the two female characters' breasts, and the multiple parts where the protagonist mentions how I USED TA BE IN THE MARINES. Even with that shovelled aside, it's still a great book, just in terms of delivering the lesson.

A ticket came in, on my third last day at my current job. The client we're doing an onprem Exchange to Office 365 migration for ([ask] me about being parachuted onto this project the week before the last dude left, while having no prior experience with either exchange or office 365!) is running Office 2010 still. After weeks of troubleshooting the pilot migrations users' desktops, the other team members decided that the interim fix is to upgrade only Outlook to 2016. This led to another problem which I gaffer-tape-fixed by copying the old Winword.exe into the Office16 folder. They've just asked for help saying that Word 2010/Outlook 2016 machines can't do mail merge any more due to "an error", which I'm trying to find out more about, but that doing a repair (quick or online, I'm also trying to find out) of Office 2010 fixes it. I know this is gently caress-all information, but if anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Also if your first instinct is to post "why the gently caress are you running mismatched versions of Office apps", then by all means do so, because I've already told them that that causes problems and they need to put the work in to upgrading instead of attempting all these workarounds.

SlowBloke posted:We are doing the same (Exchange 2010 w/ office 2010 to o365), office 2010 works just fine with Exchange online, you just need to redo the Outlook profile(esp if they have third party imap mailboxes) after you migrated the mailbox. Having a mixed office on a machine is a good way to get extra bs thrown at you. Tell me about it  I'm only supposed to be on the back end of things, but I'm getting asked to look into this poo poo because there's no one else available (read: assigned to the task). I know they tried running Office 2010 only at the beginning, but there were some problems apparently that no amount of profile recreation, setting changes, etc. could fix. They even got MS premier support involved to no avail. I keep saying "just upgrade everyone to 2016, you've already got the licenses so just push out an upgrade" but apparently that's more trouble than trying to play whack-a-mole with these issues.
