@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
It didn't announce ARP right away, or the switch is fucktarded and didn't hear about it?
I suspect it's something like that, with bonus VPN bullshit as well. The problem is there's a lot of layers of network in the way and I'm not sure which (of the many) is where things are going wrong.

STATUS: Something is awry with disk I/O.
"This PC" refuses to load, infinitely sitting with the loading bar.
Steam locks up completely on load, requiring 2 (two) "Cancel all I/O" commands via process hacker to unfreeze.
Various I/O related tasks lock up infinitely.
And, best of all, it's confirmed to have nothing to do with the physical hardware, as it works fine on a bootable disk and for just normal usage.

@sloosecannon STATUS UPDATE: Partial fix found. Disable ipv6. Internal screaming commences.
At least the traffic lights aren't flashing any more.

@sloosecannon It sure would be nice if I could figure out what this ZwOpenFile call is actually opening
ED: The icon cache is also fucked. That's lovely.
-
Status: I nearly deleted a whole directory instead of a single file because, between switching to another window and back through clicking window titles, File Explorer decided to switch focus from the file list pane to the directory tree.
Good thing
there was a permissions errorI was paying attention.

Status: my girlfriend and I working from home.
Each of us dealing with their own job frustrations.

Hook up a debugger and check? Or just try FileMon (or whatever the newer versions are called).
Not sure what it would tell you though.

status revolut just told me it needs me to verify my identity. bitch that I failed to do it twice and then told me I have now have access to my account again. In the space of two minutes and with no interaction from me. Guess where I'm not letting money sit any longer.

Status: Fixed my strange client-can't-talk-to-the-hardware problem by getting the server that booted it to ping it prior to telling the client what IP address it should talk to next. It was throwing away the first 5 pings (and UDP messages) from the client, but it now works first time. The cause appears to be a weird interaction of ARP and the corporate VPN; I don't really understand what's going on inside the network hellstew, but the extra pings don't take long to do (the server's in the rack adjacent to the hardware being booted and they're on the same switch) so I don't really care all that much. It's bizarre, but only cost me a couple of hours to work around.
-
@Zecc Chrome does that all the time too. I'll be watching a movie or reading a thread and it'll just pop up a different window. I'd say it's at random but it's not. And if I close the tab or window (or both tabs and windows), it just pops up a different one.

I'm sure that if you study a bit harder, you'll pass it next time.

Is Watch Dogs 2 a good single player game? Should I buy it?
-80% price right now

@Zecc it’s a Ubisoft sandbox game, they’re all slowly converging together. Also depends whether you care about how nasty Ubisoft is.

@Arantor I already drank the koolaid as I have a couple of Assassin Creed games.
Ubisoft Connect should be renamed Ubisoft Won't Start The Game And Instead Complain It Failed To Sync Achievements To The Cloud Until You Restart It Because It Can't Seem To Handle Hibernation.
Although admittedly it doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Well how else are you supposed to pronounce it?
-
@Zecc I got all the Assassin's Creed games up as far as Odyssey which broke me on the microtransactions, then the rest of the BS came out about Ubisoft's more-abusive-than-normal culture and I was done giving them money and I didn't care how nice their games looked.
Surprisingly many things shit the bed on hibernation.

G-U-I-D. It's a short acronym, it doesn't warrant making up fuzzy pronunciation as a "word" like WYSIWYG.
-
@e4tmyl33t sorry to but it's an initialism rather than an acronym if you spell the letters out; if you make it into goo-id, then it's really an acronym.

I've always heard it pronounced guid. Single syllable. How do you pronounce boolean?

I commend them for having a small laugh about the slime mold Shkreli, but all in all I feel I need to be at least 10 years younger to "dig it". And I'm not all that old to begin with.

Bool-ee-an, after George Boole.

Just like how it's spelled,
int

I call them serial keys because of a superficial resemblance to serial keys from the back of CD-ROM cases in the 1990s.

@Zenith So when you use
, sorry,Guid.NewGuid()
System.Guid.NewGuid()
, you're making a keygen
No wonder Defender keeps deleting the main binary of my project.

status Thanks VirtualBox.
Installed 6.1.28, VM fails to start. Reverted to 6.1.26, all is good again.

Yeah, that.

Status: The cause of two 500 errors, and the ticket for which I obtain my company laptop is currently in an Error'd state despite that I already have it.
I have also glitched out the training website so the iframe it uses to display the training content (fucking iframes!) is too tall for the viewport and is set so there is no scrollbars. This makes clicking the next arrow a bit tricky.
Also also, apparently my presence has done something weird with PCI lane bifurcation with a system that's being reimaged, but that's not my ticket so watching from the background.
On the plus side, I'm nearly done with all the "don't do stupid shit" trainings.
Did you know you're not supposed to bring in your own chemicals into the factory? Weird, huh?

I think our current count of training documents is somewhere around 150 or 200.
- Open.
- Scroll,scroll,scroll
- Close
- Mark done
- "sign"
- Next!
(ok, some I have to actually read because they also have quizzes. Loaded into short-term memory only. Memory freed upon test completion.)

Status: The FireFox weirdness I was having yesterday fixed itself (at least for now). Restarting FF twice, clearing cache, and rebooting didn't fix it. Ignore the problem and use Edge for TDWTF for a day and a half; FF decided to work properly.

That was enough time for an auto update or 2 from FF.

@dcon said in The Official Status Thread:

All have had quizzes so far.
Two had them at the beginning to let you "pre-opt-out" if you already knew the material.
Those ones are nice.
Three have had "we will stick you on this page until you've been on it for the length of the video. Yes we mean the length of the video, not that the video has reached the end, you will wait and you will like it!" pages. Those are annoying, but occasionally mildly entertaining.
For example, do not attempt to smoke under a fumigation hood just because it's wafting away air.
Also! Don't eject materials from holding trays (that hold in-progress chips) by prying them out with your hands.
Also! Don't steal prototype products!
-
@dcon That reminds me. I've been seeing FF and Thunderbird asking repeatedly to download the latest update, and I click the Download button. I guess it downloads it, but then a little later it asks to download the update again. There isn't always a Details button/link, but when there is, it's the same update it asked to download last time. And it doesn't ask to restart so it can install the update it (supposedly) downloaded.
-

I gave up on that button since you never know what's happening. I just click "later" and then go to the About dialog and let it update from there (where it actually shows progress)

Don't tell anyone, but he was actually hired by AMD as a saboteur.
