I wonder what sort of diagnostic accuracy they were expecting to get via fax

I would suggest Proton Mail but that may be beyond their capabilities.

It's probably one of those things the big manufacturing companies watch out for and send large men with baseball bats to deter development. Unless they want to be kickstarting for their medical bills :toughguy:.

If it exists, HP or Cisco will buy it and ruin it.

My Caplock key has only ever been useful to me when ... .well one time I had to ..... gently caress it - the thing is useless. Thankfully I have this fancy keyboard at work that lets me disable the key entirely.

I’ve never found a use for Numlock other than driving me crazy thinking my keys weren’t working.

Next month I’ll have five years in my current gig as well. After almost thirty years in the industry five years is the longest I’ve ever been in one place.

Honestly I'd place it at when he dropped the email address to submit office stories from the panel margins, which was a bit before then. Since that marked when he no longer thought he needed all the real life office stories the strip was built on.

Love the early internet days. I remember emailing Tom Tomorrow who does that syndicated strip and him actually emailing back.

The worst I’ve seen was a voice router losing its IP connection (so no calls) because the Ethernet cable had creeped slightly out on its own. Literally touched the cable to push it back in and all was well. Good thing there was an HA router up and running.

One if my old coworkers (an accountant) handed me a locked and loaded pistol in the office once. He has just bought it if I remember correctly. We worked in a concealed carry OK office and he was licensed. I’m very comfortable around guns but that did make me feel pretty awkward.

We moved to a VOIP phone system a few months ago and once I was satisfied everything was stable, I sent a list of phone numbers to accounting to close out.

I was so preoccupied with making sure I didn't include alarms and elevators that I accidentally included our fax lines.

Faxes are now broken, zealots of this obsolete technology are pissed, and I, for once, am truly at fault for a monumental gently caress-up.

In theory you should be able to get them back but it’s not going to be painless.

At this point just lie and tell them that the FAX protocol was deprecated and they didn't tell anyone because the FAX authority all died of old age and their kids assumed everyone else who used it did too.

Sorry all faxing moved to the new t.39 protocol and our equipment is too old to handle it.

What version of Finesse? We've been running it for years with no login issues. We're on 11.7 now but going to 12.5 next year. We make god drat sure everyone uses Firefox though. It by far works the best for Finesse.

Any version. My company uses IE so you know it's poo poo anyway.

There is something positive about being in person with your team. I'm not sure I need it 40 hours a week, but it's less isolated than full time work from home.
