The last thread had to be retired because it only natively supported basic auth and we can’t make any changes to its backend because it only ever worked in IE.

Apparently my Xerox is hard-coded to the old thread, and it just keeps printing out "LOCKED: PLEASE SEE ADMINISTRATOR" every 47 minutes? Please address and revert. (I can't reset the MFP because nobody knows the admin password or how the fax portion is set up so please don't suggest that)

We should put the thread on a blockchain so we can verify all the posts. Maybe a 10 minute timer, so we get bursts of posts every 10 minutes, 6 confirmations before someone can quote it and no edit function. I'm the ideas guy, someone make the wiki. Threadcoin?

I've never had Slack do that, only people who don't know how to use threads. Seems to be the same people who reply with 3 words at a time and 10 messages to say what they wanted to say.

Are these work items being automatically created in TFS as they come up, or does someone need to do it manually? How should we be tracking our time on these?

Ayyy first 'ticket' of the year. A note, I am not an IT professional, but a reporter. My boss frequently has issues where he misplaced the edges of his windows or Adobe Audition goes into different modes and each time he calls me first before going to actual IT. Today it was "Adobe's different again, what do I do" I don't mind, it's just amazing that I'm the 0-th line tech support around here.

I've got a new client back home in the deep ol' south. I'm trying to get a low voltage vendor out there to certify the lines as part of my pre-onboarding investigation and, of course, I have to reach out to vendors I used to work with at my last job before I moved, and, more importantly, before I transitioned. These are incredibly small businesses who remember every customer they've ever had, so of course they remember me. Sort of. "Your name sounds familiar, have we worked with you before?" Uh... yeah. You could say that. I used to work at [school], but I had a different name back then. Then they connect the dots and, oh gosh, look at that, we don't have an opening to schedule anything after all, toodles.

Could we maybe import the old posts into this new thread or something? Some of us still read posts in the old thread and I think this would make it easier to find them all in one place. e: Or maybe a PST file? Can an admin export the old thread into a PST so I can add it to my Outlook profile? Also, could you remote in and show me how to add a PST?

A Frosty Witch posted:"Your name sounds familiar, have we worked with you before?" Admittedly completely out of my element, but why even give them the time of day? They don't know you, and they don't need to know you. "Have we worked with you before?" Nope! Sure haven't. I'm in a completely different state and have no idea who you are. Even if you've met them in person and they think you look familiar? No, person I don't want to associate with, you're mistaken, we are complete strangers. Of course thinking of it in the moment is a lot harder than mentally re-treading that conversation in the shower the next day.

There's a bunch of community-specific etiquette around how to handle previous names, but you really don't want them figuring it out later via LinkedIn or something and kicking up a fuss if they're the type to get mad about it. Best to weed out the people you don't want to work with ahead of time.

Now I wanna make a powershell script that takes every single post and makes it into an email. Ten thousand terrible subject-less emails in an inbox. Edit: Or every single post is put in the subject line, and overflows into the body once it hits the character limit.

Networking is such a huge part of this industry, it's silly. And I say that being on easy mode (cis white male). I can only imagine the magnitudes of increase in difficulty otherwise.
