What grinds your gears?

[Xsannz]

I'm with the monkey.

Windows 10 is great, and stable if you stick to the mainstream releases.

The broken one xssanz is talking about is the fast ring of the insider program (basically it's an Alpha version)

The release cycle looks something like this:
MS build test group  -> MS Systems Group -> MS internal (everyone) -> Windows Insiders (Fast Ring) -> Windows Insiders (slow Ring) -> Current Branch -> Current Branch for Business -> Long Term Servicing Branch

The slowest two (CBB and LTSB) are only available to business/enterprise customers, CB is "normal" windows 10, WI(SR) is "public beta" and WI(FR) is "public alpha".

it's ok new build again last night to align with the mobile releases numbering combining both streams of dev teams and fixing most known bugs in current fast rign releases and a ton of new Cortana functionality...

Where do you even find the time lol

[Xsannz]

We are developers and sys admins we don't do any real work we script all that and spend the rest of the time playing.

How do you get the Cortana working in NZ?

It keeps telling me my speech setting is wrong, even though it's set to English-US.

For newer systems utilizing UEFI, running rm -rf / is enough to permanently brick your system. While it's a trivial command to run on Linux systems, Windows and other operating systems are also prone to this issue when using UEFI. The problem comes down to UEFI variables being mounted with read/write permissions and when recursively deleting everything, the UEFI variables get wiped too. Systemd developers have rejected mounting the EFI variables as read-only, since there are valid use-cases for writing to them. Mounting them read-only can also break other applications, so for now there is no good solution to avoid potentially bricking your system, but kernel developers are investigating the issue.

we discovered this yesterday morning as a juinior unix dev was working on our production machines.. FML   rebuilding prod servers

[Pyromanik]

Why is a junior working on production?
Why is anyone /working/ on production?
Why is /anyone/ running rm -rf / !?

well actually it was a seperate production instance that was stood up for a contractor to implement their software..  god knows why they sent a juinor but her basically bricked the server i set up for them and their product....

there shall be a please explain, i'd never let them loose on our main prod servers this was a sandboxed prod server that if they got running then we connect it up and itegrate it, they did pass UAT previously.

Xsannz is the real junior. Letting said Junior play with anything that isn't a pacifier.

[Xsannz]

Nope i was on leave yesterday, fuckwits just let the contractor from the vendor in and the systems team didnt even bother to check what he was up to , i just built the box and put it in the rack space as i am the integrations specialist that builds the shit that talks to their products and does validation and transformations of data, the systems team where the ones that let him in and fucked it up, and all because their boss didnt want to spare someone from his tema to assist and install the vendors apps.

Those days where no matter what you do, your balls just want to stick to the inside of your leg.

Indeed. That certainly does grindchafe my gears.

Citywide(ish) power outages and UPS's that randomly decide after being on battery for 5 minutes they will shutdown their outlets despite still having 90% power.

I fucking hate Eaton.. Why can't we use nice proper APC gear. Fucking cheapskate bastards.

[Xenolightning]

I read it after I wrote, thought about changing it, then decided not to because it would bait Lias

But yes, that Spark site requires flash, as it uses speedtest.net

[Pitchey]

Damn, I'd hoped no one would notice! 

[Retardobot]

Mrs. got her tits pierced 2 weeks ago.

Haven't been able to grab them in that many weeks.

Sad Rii is sad.

[Lias]

Ooooh.. but on the upside, pierced tits are great.

Hell yes they are. Somehow they've also made them more 'boobier'.

People who want me to have flash enabled on my browser.

Also, pierced tits.

[Xsannz]
