I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

ICQ was still online!?!?!

I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.

I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Motherfucker!

If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.

I remember a PC (286) brought in for repair that had blown a fuse in the power supply.
Nothing was visibly wrong, so I replaced the fuse and jokingly said, “Well it’s either going to work, or it’s going to explode”.
I turned it on and the CPU promptly blew itself to bits. Literally “Bang” and the CPU was a few shards stuck to the pins (286 was soldiered directly to the main board).

As an individual with Sensory Processing Disorder, Autism, and ADHD, that works in IT…

This policy is incredibly ableist.

Glad I don’t live there.

“Just ask for directions”… have you ever tried asking a french person for help as a tourist? A lot of restraunts won’t even serve you, even if you’re speaking French.

A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.

It won’t be a month.

Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

WQ = Write and Quit Q! = quit and do nothing else

Multiline cut, copy, paste is where I forget commands.

OP asked for feedback.

Dude you’re pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

Yeah I read it and it’s very over worded.

1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

Then the IEC decided “enough of this confusion” and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc…) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

It’s not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.

It totally is. Accidents, Beta features, etc. all used as cover to be a cunt.

“supposed to”

Oopsie whoopsy, we accidentally made competing browsers disadvantaged.

Deliberate, disguised as accidental. Disgusting.

Trinity used NMAP and scanned for real known SSH vulnerabilities when hacking the power station in Matrix Reloaded.
