Ticket queue blew up after HR decided to run a background check on everybody in the company, causing all of us to get an automated email that the company is conducting a background check on them. Still no statement from HR.

If Hollywood has taught me one thing it’s that only two things beep: computers and bomb timers. I’m fairly confident there are no bombs in the house so it must be the computer, ergo a call to my ISP is appropriate because the internet is in the computer.

The podcast Magnus Protocol has old computers as part of it's plot and most episodes start with the sound of one booting up. The fans whirring up, the BEEP of the completed POST check, the whirr-clunk of two floppy drives being checked. It's very nostalgic.

Maybe my favorite story from when I worked at an ISP was a customer who made it to the executive complaint level about a beeping in their house. It turned out that a contractor had drywalled over the power pack for their ONT, and when the battery gets old enough the unit beeps every 30 minutes or so. They spent weeks chasing a phantom beep that turned out to be literally inside the walls.

After i had to flash my bios for the whole Intel thing occasionally my computer would vibrate audibly when powered on, and I could feel it in the floor nearby. I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on and getting incredibly concerned that I had broken a fan or my 4tb spinner.

Turns out when i flashed the bios it turned off the "USB Always provides power" option and the vibration was my Xbox controller doing it's happy "FYI you've successfully supplied power to me I can charge now" vibration against my desk.

working with behind the router devices is hell. love to care about the customer's home wifi setup. one customer had 3 powered on routers, all from different isps, next to each other on the shelf and no idea which was which other than his son set it up. local isps just randomly deciding to block specific ports or traffic. one customer lost connection mid afternoon sporadically. no obvious pattern. turns out it was when it was too sunny. their ethernet over power setup was next to a solar inverter that got out of spec when the panels started giving enough power. kill me.

There is some smilie (yosbutt ?) that is seen as a GIF vulnerability so it ends up blocking SA whenever a page uses it.
