RE: Server dropping connections frequently
Yeah, all these dropouts are making my productivity unusually high.
Sooner or later my colleagues are going to get suspicious of my work on all those other days.

RE: Here's a phishing scam. Don't click it.
I just got a similar message, sent to everyone in our organization:
<colleague> just received this email. If you've received it, DON'T CLICK IT!
Microsoft should never ask you for your password when you are already logged into your account nor will it disable your account without us knowing.
From: Microsoft Admin Team fprsthiars@e-clinic.com
To: Sales
Subject: Hello - UrgentWith best regards,
<IT guy>
The image still had a working link to the phishing page...
FAKE EDIT:
There was a follow-up after I told our head IT guy; he replied to everyone on his original email and said something like "be aware that the mail which I've sent still contained a working example of the phishing attempt. Please don't try clicking it".
That reply still contains a working link...

RE: WTF Bites
That's the point where he approached me and asked for my help. Two minutes with Google, one minute with a screwdriver and 2 seconds switching around a jumper yielded a password-less printer.
"You put a password-less printer on the network! You hacked the Secure Administrative Stuff™ Network!! We need to report this!!!" (Obviously in German)

He then went back to school to pursue a master’s degree in comparative literature at the University of Colorado Boulder..
Because the first one worked out so well. Why not dig the hole deeper?

So maybe it really is true, no-one reads newspapers anymore. Including those who print them.

RE: Necros
@arantor It's way harder to spot the other professions on the Internet, whereas being a necromancer is a dead giveaway.

A magical future where I have to configure lightbulbs. Thanks for reminding what IOT is.
Have you tried switching it off and on again?
You must be mistaken, as that only applies to IT.
For IOT the right procedure is to turn it off for two seconds (not counting one second, neither shall it be three seconds), turn it on for two seconds but then wait six seconds more (that's counting two and six, directly counting to eight is right out), then turn it off again and to repeat the process until it strobes twice or you simply timed things wrong at the fourth cycle. In which case you start the whole procedure anew until successful or the device in question suffers a blunt force failure.
And that's just the easy procedure.

RE: Install this app to browse our website...

Yes, yes, some sites advertise their apps as an afterthought, but this one is particularly egregious...
[snip]Yeah, if you didn't deliberately put a 20s interstitial in there it wouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile this is one of the (redacted) emails I received from Facebook:
You know, I can see "This message" just fine, and if you'd inline the content of the original message in the email I could actually read it immediately instead of all this content walled garden bullshit!

RE: Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition
@HardwareGeek said in Driving Anti-Patterns - Necro Edition:
@Zerosquare Indeed. There was some object — I couldn't identify just what it was; too far away — projecting upward from the engine compartment. I assume that was why the hood was open. Whatever it was, the driver was not merely moving the car to the nearest mechanic, as he/she passed such a place and continued down the street.
You're sure it wasn't the mechanic in there?

RE: Good article - Dear Developers, the Web Isn't About You
Just bumped into https://chicago.suntimes.com/, a prime example.
Since the NoScript plugin blocks javascript by default, it becomes painfully obvious that this site cannot be viewed with javascript turned off. They're a news site. With text, pictures and maybe video. Why can't it simply show text?

@Gąska Oh, I have heard more than one such uninformed requirement from stories.
The best HR joke I've read though was when an interviewer supposedly asked "how many years of experience do you have with Ruby On Rails"... to the original author of RoR (which he likely also stated on his resume).
He replied "All of them".
