Make sure not to throw that motherboard in the trash.
Instead, do the eco-friendly thing: send it to @Tsaukpaetra.
And who knows, it may end up getting motorized reclinability.

Oh that's just the preparation, once she's laid out the cooking can begin...

Why does that remind me of our software?

Looks more like a parsing/conversion bug. I've seen it before on monitoring software.

Cheesy seal? I don't know, I think their meat is a little fat.

Hm. 98F is 36.7C, close but not perfect.
But those 14C are strange, too.
Was the conversion between units re-invented for every value?
Won't be really surprised.

@BernieTheBernie I have no idea where any of those sensors are. Those 15C and 14C are at the same level right now while the rest is much cooler, so it's well possible they're not even wired. I could see a sensor which is not on a heatsource and in airflow being below room temperature, but not that far.

I've got the same motherboard and the last sensor shows as 14c too. There is a connector on the motherboard for adding a temp sensor which I assume is that one.

The ERP the original occupants of the ruins allegedly migrated off of at the request of a divine messenger, yet still had to be kept operational due to the Powers That Be needing to run reports that couldn't be reimplemented elsewhere, thus necessitating a convoluted automated ETL system involving arrowslits, giant rolling stone balls, and cursed goblets.

Why am I getting notifications at 13:30 today for a meeting which is 13:30 tomorrow?
Because notification is set 24h in advance and Thunderbird takes that literally. Is outlook any saner about that?
(Yes, I also changed the notification period from the organiser's default to a saner 5 minutes. But I'm still curious.)

I'm confused what other result you'd expect than 24h in advance.

Seems like setting the reminder duration to what the organiser specified is the sane choice, which is what Outlook does too.

@Tsaukpaetra All due respect, I do not trust you* and you are not an engineer.

I have a somewhat worthless diploma that says otherwise!
Though I was referencing this little diddy.
Since you were disputing QOOC, here's where you said "trust me I'm an engineer" and linking to a video about it. Taking it out of context seems fair game to me.

I love Microsoft Teams.
A really great porgramm. It is installed to...
C:\Users\BernieTheBernie\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current
Of course, it also spams theAppdata\Roaming
folder with tons of crap.
Lately, it failed to show my telephone list, but colleagues were still able to reach me. And that Teams used up 1 core of my CPU, plus a little extra, all time.
Deleted all those crap folders and reinstalled it. Now, it seems to work better.
But I won't be surprised if something suddenly fails...

Status: Literal PITA ongoing for over 2 months after checkup and treatment starting. May need a health care revisit to check why healing is not happening. Also want to work on RPG system but is stuck with the dreadfully long workday instead. Also, @dkf stole the cock I was working on and finished it off depriving me of my entertainment. Colleague also made an off-by-one on the month for an announcement and wrote 4-6 oct instead of 4-6 nov. Yes, let's start this event NOW without any preparation!

@JBert
What is thisdocumentation
?

@DogsB said in The Official Status Thread:
Yeah... it even had the answer to my question.
Lucky you. There's part of our documentation which says “see
for the datasheet for this PHY module”. He hasn't worked for us for around a decade, and the description of the part concerned can't be converted into anything that corresponds to a datasheet I can download (the manufacturer says “we've never made such a thing” and there's no obvious typo I could correct). The only meaningful documentation I've got is the existing code that configures it (effectively the driver; reading assembly isn't fun, but it's not too hard) and that only tells me little bits, not the wider picture.
On the plus side, I think the hardware engineers I was talking to when I pointed this out understood why I was a bit annoyed by it.

Status: Have they ever made a microwave that heats up frozen food to the right level? I got this Banquet frozen pizza that's sort of like a pie in that all the toppings are inside. It was good but I couldn't eat the crust because it was so hard it might've broken my teeth.
-
@Zenith The fancier models can get fairly close, but you still have to know yourself how to adjust for the differing shapes and density of the food you're defrosting. (I know mine has settings for meat and bread, but pizza would require some thought.)

Of course. Because now it doesn't have to ask your permission to update itself. All those damn annoying UAC prompts.
Last company I was at specifically changed the defaults so they could update the program behind user's backs.
: But company IT departments really aren't going to like that.

Reddit user ramenporn wrote before their account was deleted:
As many of you know, DNS for FB services has been affected and this is likely a symptom of the actual issue, and that's that BGP peering with Facebook peering routers has gone down, very likely due to a configuration change that went into effect shortly before the outages happened (started roughly 1540 UTC).
There are people now trying to gain access to the peering routers to implement fixes, but the people with physical access is separate from the people with knowledge of how to actually authenticate to the systems and people who know what to actually do, so there is now a logistical challenge with getting all that knowledge unified.
Part of this is also due to lower staffing in data centers due to pandemic measures.

@PleegWat To which I echo @Zecc's statement

This weekend I'm supposed to leave for a cruise with my girlfriend, that we've planned since the start of the year. To board, you have to have a negative COVID-19 test.
She just tested positive for COVID-19. Pretty minor case - we're both fully vaccinated - but. Well, we're not going to be taking a cruise this weekend.

Teenagers have migrated from the US surveillance industry to the Chinese already, um, I mean, are using TikTok.
However, personally I’d like to have WhatsApp back online. (Although I’d far more like it if Facebook had kept its dirty fingers of it, but
)

Also, since it's apparently a BGP configuration that's gone wrong, the problem isn't what IP address to use for them, but what that address maps to in terms of actual long-haul message routing. It's one of the most arcane parts of how the internet actually works, and almost nobody understands it.

@dkf but any idiot can break it. Someone I know on a different forum was using the internet as an example of how good engineering practices mean that complexity is just fine (in the context of "well, D&D could be more complex if they just wrote better rules", completely leaving out the possibility that complexity isn't a good thing) and I just went
