Consolidated Business & Enterprise Computing Rant Thread

Get off my lawn!

The same club as the "#OKBoomer - I'm not a goddamn boomer!" club.

 

Hey millennial get some life experience and decide for yourself for a change.

PS - Make a stand for something and protest the establishment, then I will respect you millennial even if I don't agree, but chances are if you object the establishment then the old punk in us will support you.

 

today experienced a powerpoint deck with a slide titled.

"Final Solution"


it lied, there was more slides.

 

*checks comfy stretch denim jeans, strokes beard.

Nope. Still manly.

People don't study history, or aren't being taught history

 

Yeah but is yer beard long and grey?
And we just jealous yer all fit in skinny jeans.

 

my DST co-workers: "we're going home, enjoy working for 2.5/3 more hours"

me: "you know i was still in bed when you got to work this morning right?"

 

When it changes to DST they crack the shits because I have to make them come in an hour early. When it ends they crack the shits because I'm holding them up.

 

Prematurely so. And there hasn't been a day in my life I would have fit skinny jeans.

 

I've never once sent thoughts and prayers, does that count?

 

self centred atheist. I don't have thoughts and prays (nor fucks) to give.

 

Can someone help me come up with a relatively nice email to respond to this lady? There are so many red flags I don't really know where to start lol

 

What about? It's merely a notification - which they're obliged to do. She's not asking for you to reply at all.

Unless I'm missing some other context?!?!

 

I'm guessing he's assuming that scammers did not actually have access to her machine, maybe believed one of those fake popups telling you the sky is falling? No idea. Nowhere near enough information.

 

Perhaps if QLD adopted things like Daylight Savings, tourism could replace digging rocks.

 

It was more about storing all our information on a USB

Also they use an ozemail account, not sure if they would have as good spam detection/virus scanning as something like o365/gmail

 

It's a flawed statement to start with. Mining/natural resources only makes up 11.8% of QLD's GDP. The mining sector only employs ~50k people in QLD, vs ~290K in health services, 220K in retail, 200K in construction etc. Mining is disproportionately represented here because nobody wants to let go of 'the good times'.

 

where else would you store it that wouldn't have been compromised by someone with access to their PC?

yeah, because they're still using the same servers from the 90's.

 

more people visit the great barrier reef every year than live in your capital city.

i think they're doing ok without DLS.

 

You are like a scratched record sometimes. All that DST yet how's sydneys nightlife these days?

Until there's an actual reason why we must play with our clocks like we have obsessive compulsive disorder twice a year, i think i'm fine with sunrise at 4:30am. it literally doesn't effect you.

 

Lost USB, broken USB, probably no backup.

I am less concerned about the data breach.
