    The internet at my house has been down for 2.5 days. I can't work at all. Also unrelated the cell tower near my house is having issues so my signal strength fell by half. I can't even reliably use that like I used to. I will have internet back by the end of today but this sucks.

    while not relevant for anything but curiosity, are you sure they are unrelated? Those cell towers could easily use some of the same infrastructure to get the signals there.

    Yes I am absolutely sure. I get my internet from a different ISP who has a series of microwave towers coming in from the north. AT&T owns the backbone that supplies bandwidth to the cell tower and that comes in from the east. The piece of equipment that failed that brings me internet is 100% owned and only used by my ISP.

    Tried to get some testing set up tonight to ensure testing with QA will go smoothly on Friday only to ran into a firewall rule problem. What's worse is since our Information Security team is VERY strict about firewalls even for Development/Testing environments and need these types requests to go through business approval I think I boned myself since the last change review before my deadline was today.

    Hope my boss will be fine with my workaround ideas.

    I fucking hate Quebec

    Currently at a job that pays me 86k per year because of the certs I got (teams, working on Azure and O365 one missing one exam each) because work asked me to but yet all I get is level1 case, Fix the date in someones Excel, investigate logs before windows updates etc.

    So then I send some Resumes and get some Senior level interview, that in the interviews ask me fucking level 1 stuff and offers a 50k per year job. Im like im sure I can do my job better then your fucking senior admins and yet all I get is 50k per year offers.

    So im im sitting at home charging 1h for a 15min job to change a user password while watching YouTube because since its too easy im going too fast vs the normal employee

    I swear our IT infrastructure is sentient and knows when my boss is out. Every time he's on vacation it seems like something urgent/critical happens. So far he's been gone since Thanksgiving and since then I think I've only had 1 day without shit hitting the fan. Not only that but the rest of the development team seem to have zero fucks and assume I'll fix everything. Hell earlier this week we got an email alert about a critical failure and about 5 minutes later another one of the developers was a big enough dumbfuck to email me that alert and had the audacity to say "Are you looking into this?" when he damn well knows he can log into our incident queue and see if a ticket has been assigned to an individual.

    I really need to have a long talk with my boss about this kind of shit. I was supposed to get a legacy application converted over to our new infrastructure but I haven't even had time to look into that because of shit like this.

    Congratulations on passing. How many water bottles did you have to be hit with before you passed?

    Why is it so difficult to fill a PDF form from a database query? Why isn't that a mainstream feature

    All of our court hearings have to be recorded. The person that turns on the recording messed up and didn't patch the recording system up to the conference call. They also forgot to turn on the backup recording system that ATT does on their end (Just in case there is a network issue at the court).

    There is also a second person in every chambers that is supposed to double-check that these features are turned on, they also didn't bother that day.

    So we get a call asking if we can work some magic and get the audio recording "Back". What do you mean back? We never had them, you didn't turn it on. How in the flying fuck could we re-create an audio call that lasted 8 hours and no one recorded...

    Sometimes i do think people think IT people are wizards.

    Windows updated after I finally had my new monitor and old monitor working together with internet and sound, and now it won't detect my old monitor at all. If I look up the device it says it's there but "device not migrated" because of "partial or ambiguous match."

    It doesn't seem to let me try to reinstall drivers. Trying to Uninstaller the device and then reinstall did nothing. Thing is, when I boot it up it displays on both screens, but as soon as the Windows OS loads it reverts to one.

    And even though it literally just updated it tells me I can't do a system restore because I haven't updated in more than 10 days.

    Why can't I just enjoy my new toys.

    Think I just had someone set a speed run record of bricking an iphone.

    Sets the home screen unlock. We move to his laptop to reset his itunes password as it's been so long he forgot. Goes to unlock phone, and it appears he made and confirmed a typo when setting the code and it's now up to fifteen minutes lock out with only being able to make one attempt before it doubles in time

    This is a bit further afield for the thread, but I recently escaped my quasi-management role for a week and managed to get back into doing some modeling (only hands, we're not like the others) and have to scream this into the void.

    One of the models we use that's completely central to our product is ridiculously complicated despite the relatively lacking input data and, naturally, it turns out that complication is entirely unjustified. They clearly designed the model, cross validated, and then never thought about what the cross-validation told them about their design. For instance, one of the 5 input models for their ensemble is an LSTM neural net with a token dictionary of only 256 words despite the fact that this is a very sparse lexicon. Most documents have 1 word (95%), and some 0 (4%). They then pad this 0-1 word sequence out to 128 words and throw it into a 2-level neural net. That's a lot of goddamned math to get a lookup table out the back end. I rewrote it yesterday and get better results using only 8 features. My new model takes less time to train than the old one did to predict.

    Oh that is fun. I haven't heard anything about it. I am not really doing enduser support anymore but I bet we will have a few tickets come in about that.

    I'm hearing a lot of Government groups who, for some fucking reason, still don't understand why most of us delay updates for a few weeks are being hit hard right now.

    I get wanting to patch as quickly as possible, but if it bricks your site every few months, you would think you would start putting a delay on things.
