Infoscreen messup
-
Walked by this infoscreen on my way to my office this morning:
-
Quick! Connect to it and check the recycle bin! Could be some juicy stuff in there!
-
-
I would be more tempted to get it to display some juicy stuff.
What's the point if you're not there to see it?
Unless you intend to hang around in front of it while you mess with the TeamViewer connection there's not much point, is there?
-
-
Trolling people? Ze L0lz?
I prefer to see the results of my trolling. Helps with zee Lolz.
-
Ask @Mikael_Svahnberg to put up a webcam?
-
And connect it to... what? Even if it's a wireless one, the port on the mall (or whatever it was) router won't be forwarded. Even if the infoscreen has USB ports, the people would see it if I used TeamViewer to watch the footage.
So you'd pretty much have to leave a laptop somewhere, probably with TeamViewer (or something similar) running (again, port forwarding issues), so I could TeamViewer into it as I'm trolling people using TeamViewer.
Filed under: Yo dawg, I herd you like overcomplicating things...

Your objections are a to

It's not my objections that are a barrier. That would be reality.
Yes, it sucks. But not everything can be s and s

on the mall (or whatever it was)
It's in the univ. It is supposed to show the schedule for all lecture rooms today.

I am tempted to make it display the schedule for all lecture rooms today. That would be the first time ever.

Just wait for someone to post it to Error'd.
-
Yeah, that date format is a proper messup
-
HOW. DARE. YOU.
You evil evildoer.
-

You should complain about this to the students. Why didn't they already mess with it?
-

Make it show a message like "THE UNIVERSITY OF ____ IS FULL OF INCOMPETENT PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE COMPUTERS" in large letters and change all access passwords. You might hopefully get some incompetent person fired.

Or get arrested on some trumped-up charge
-
My guess: they don't wake up before 10, and by then it was back to the usual error message...
-
(a) It's a uni. Incompetence is implied.
(b) thanks to Bismarck we don't fire government employees here. The best we can hope for is a promotion to the archives or the IT service department.
-
In that case it's perfectly acceptable. I withdraw my objection.
Some pedagogical course said that we should make it easier for the students to relate to the lectures. I now sometimes start my afternoon lectures by wishing everybody good morning.
-
Necroing a bit to show you today's innovative error message. This one accidentally a word, but made up for it in number of error messages.
Apparently we pay €1000 per screen in licensing costs for this POS.

Sucks to be dual-monitor users at your workplace, eh?
-
I'm curious about the "Protection at risk" thingy. Does it mean that somebody finally got around to finding a way to extract the juicy bits?
-
No clue. It could just mean that they tried hard enough for the system to notice...
Perhaps someone with windows experience can shed some light over that message?
-
Given my experience of windows, it could mean anything from "Your antivirus needs updating" through "You are not using a windows approved drivers for ....whatever" to "There is a USB port without it's protective rubber cap... or something"
-
Looks like a message from Security Center indicating no or old anti-virus, no firewall, no updates or something similar
And no admin with a clue on how to disable the messages.

I never see those messages.But then I keep my shit up to date.
-
I never see those messages.
I have. On servers without AV. Right before I turned the message off.

You get a much more wordy and comprehensible message out of Security Center. Frankly, that message looks like it originated from a fake AV.

That would be really funny!

Apparently "Protection at risk: Contact your administrator" is a Trend Micro message.
