Hope it goes better than poor Data's testing :P

Happy SysAdmin Day to all you SysAdmins out there.

May your coffee be delicious, and your patience infinite.

Perhaps you don't hear about it because the first rule of a security job is "You don't talk about security jobs"?

My daughter is 6 months old today. :)

Next spiceworld, I request that someone strap a GoPro to @scottalanmiller's head.

Hi All,
Just letting you know that Mrs nadnerB has "popped the hatch" and I now have a smallish baby girl in my house.
Official designation for here will be mini-Mrs nadnerB, being that she is indeed a girl.
So this takes my collection of little takkers to 2.

Mini-Mrs nadnerB has been with us for almost two weeks.

My mind is melting from sleep deprivation, and I may have waded into a few "disagreements" about things and not been able to actually put a clear concise point across. My bad.

If I come across any silly comments that I have made then I will link back to this thread as an "oops, shouldn't have said that".
 
If something I have said recently makes no sense, please mash alt + F4 on your keyboard repeatedly until it's fixed.

Feeling better about myself now :')

It's about a Mac, so it doesn't count :P

We joked about it for sometime, at the ER with a son presenting with a probable appendicitis.

Maybe this time they’ll give us that discount as this is the third round.

Craptastic situation but good to hear you’re on to it.

All the best and good luck with the family discount.

Been AWOL. OnePlus phone died when T-Mobile pushed down a bad update and they had no means of dealing with it. On iPhone now, so much better.

Except.... iPhone ...

Only if it's the wrong tool for the job

I bought an android from a telco once. Hated it.
Unnecessary delays in rolling out updates, and loads of bloatware were my main gripes.

Have not bought from a telco since.

Also @siringo, why can't they remove the A/V themselves when their contract starts?
IMO, It's your ass on the line before their start date and they are just trying to make things easier for themselves at the expense of your soon-to-be former client.

@siringo , well that sucks.
There are ways to take over a client and there are ways to suck at taking over a client.
It sounds like the new mob have an air of arrogance about them. Yuck.

Hope you can sort things out and pick up a better client.

Facebook to hire 10,000 in EU to work on metaverse

Facebook is planning to hire 10,000 people in the European Union to develop a so-called metaverse.
A metaverse is an online world where people can game, work and communicate in a virtual environment, often using VR headsets. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been a leading voice on the concept. The announcement comes as Facebook deals with the fallout of a damaging scandal and faces increased calls for regulation to curb its influence. "The metaverse has the potential to help unlock access to new creative, social, and economic opportunities. And Europeans will be shaping it right from the start," Facebook said in a blog post. The new jobs being created over the next five years will include "highly specialised engineers".

their remaking 2nd life?
yeah - it's totally going to work this time.

I thought they were recreating a Simpson episode where they, quite literally, plugged them selves into the virtual world
