Status: Still struggling through the subtle bugs in Chrome.
Is the latest version of Chrome (v54.0.2840.99) more prone to hang than the previous versions? We have a few links that can hang the whole browser in the current version while it's fine with previous versions. And by "hang" I mean not just hanging the current browser process, but hang all the five processes spawned by Chrome.
WTF are you doing that you manage to freeze chrome?
It's hard to tell, because we're using a bunch of different javascript libraries that are originally incompatible but I somehow hammered them together. (i.e.: most of them are not the same of the version that the file claims to be, as there are usually a few lines in them be changed)
Btw, IMO any bugs in javascript should not be able to hang all the processes. (It's understandable sometimes it can hang the browser window or even the javascript engine, but all the 5 processes? Come on!)

@Tsaukpaetra There's some "GO" between the lines you forgot to remove?

No, read below. The script had semicolons in it, which this MySQL-assuming program interpreted to be batch separators.

WSUS
Apparently WSUS doesn't know about Windows 10.
Either that or suddenly half of the recognized computers suddenly upgraded themselves to a new Vista...
Wait... I suppose you should be allowing WSUS to download update, but you don't allow WSUS itself to get updated before using it to manage updates?

@Tsaukpaetra said in The Official Status Thread:
Whatever. Windows Update succeeded, so now I'm going to be shanghaied into rebooting in... 47 minutes?
WTF? Ok, fine then. I think I did say my Active Hours ended at 1am (I think? Apparently you can't access that panel in the state I'm apparently in.)
Holy shit that was a fast 40 minutes!

I was under the impression of was supposed to do that automatically. I'm clearly incorrect.

Hey guys, my Windows is back exactly where I left them! All my programs I was using before are in the same state they were a minute ago!
Oh wait, just the Microsoft programs were restored?

Who wants to come with me and start up a platform for actual English, curated blog articles that are written by actual technical people to provide the documentation that open source coders are too damn lazy to write before a squirrel comes by and they chase it off toward their next

If you have more than zero, but less than 5, you are being diplomatic enough.

Status: About 1.5 years ago we did a pretty large wireless install and the wireless controller was basically DOA. So I RMA'd it, they cross-shipped and we had a replacement a couple of days later.
About a year ago...I got another wireless controller. Like, one day I get a confirmation email that my RMA had been processed and was being overnighted. I kept that one around for a while, expecting them to contact me one day when they realized their mistake. That never happened.
I just received another email that the same RMA had been processed again and will be delivered tomorrow and that they no longer had that model in stock so they upgraded to a newer model.
Like, I am not complaining, mind you. But surely some human touches this stuff along the line and thinks, "Wait, this RMA is a year and half old. This must be a mistake, let me check this out real quick." But...apparently not.
At this point, they have basically given me a used Honda.
The really bad thing is, this is far from the only time this has happened, and with multiple companies. I have to think they all use the same software to track their RMAs?

Pfffffbt. Slacker.
A couple of years ago I went to move a 42U rack to the data center and then realized it was 3/4 full of servers that I had forgotten about.

Status: Just wasted about half an hour wondering why the scene editor I'm using wasn't seeing assets I had imported. Then, I noticed that the file extensions on the assets were in all caps (e.g. .MESH, .MATERIAL). I decided to try making them lowercase and everything magically begins to work. Fucking case-sensitive file extensions.

Stat: One of chirp the smoke detectors in our house has a dead battery chirp so it's beeping every thirty chirp seconds or so. It's 3:30 in the chirping morning, so I'm not inclined to chirp hunt it down. (Yes, they're also wired chirp into mains power, the 9V batteries are for backup.)

It's not lifetime stats in a video game, it's stats in slightly more than 1 week of a video game.
