Our IT department has found a way. Want to get some credentials sent to you (usually just for new accounts)? They send it only via Signal as a out of band method. This turned Signal into the defacto default in our org.

Maybe US IKEA is different from European ones, but there are literally arrows on the floor that guide you through the whole thing? Follow the arrows and you're out.

I mean technically it isn't wrong that (1) how you come across to the other person is important and (2) you need to be with the other person to connect with them. And that is part of the problem, because the underlying reason why p

Yes, because I don't like to lay bare all the details of my friends online. Contrary to what my post may have sounded like to you this person is my friend and I stayed with them for more than a decade always in support to help them get

You can do a good job if you want to. But that usually required taking a step back and thinking about these 20% you didn't manage last time. Maybe you use the wrong approach, the wrong tool, maybe your tool is no longer sharp because y

It is certainly a truth that many people have a fear to cross the threshold of doing something for real. That fear is usually a fear of committing to a potentially substandard result or a fear of getting started on the meat of what feels li

This is what keeps me from using things like these. Meanwhile I have uinx-oid scripts that keep chugging on up to date servers for more than a decade without any need to change them. I know there is always the temptation to make it really s

Should we ban refilling your own cars oil because some idots keep filling coolant into it? I worked in IT support and I am deeply aware with the issues people are having. Some issues are systemic (aka bad design) and those should be fixed.

The rectifier is an audible part of the circuit, you can definitely tell e.g. between tube rectifiers and diode based ones. SMPS have been somewhat problematic with audio circuits when they were new, especially when it comes to noise and &q

For me it goes like this: Ok if we are already extending personhood to corporations, who with their sheer power transcend individuals, why not also extend that fiction to other entities that would actually need active protection? Wouldn&#

Yes, but what is there to understand? A bot erased the hard work of people. That is the point. Sure there may be more fine detail to understand around the guidelines etc, but first you should acknowledge that (A) your bot fucked up big time

One point I'd like to add as someone who has worked in IT support for years: Don't answer when you haven't done your homework. Either you check for yourself if what they claim has happened happened and acknowledge the fuckup

It is gaslighting even. It is extremely manipulative to be sorry about a thing someone else did, while in fact the the fuckup originated from you. Own it or offer to investigate/fix it. A decent answer would have been worded among the
