Why are you using windows for what looks like important infrastructure work? 😬
May not be his/her choice.
How do you know when someone hates windows? They'll tell you.
For sure. The 'you' was more a corporate you. Someone made this call.
Nice cable management there. You're better than Windows.
The laptop is updating on company's time . Drink some tea, blame Microsoft and call it a day.
That's some decent cabling
As everyone else has said, that’s clean as fuck.
I see ya’ll put the room numbers on the front of the patch panel instead of the cable labels. What kind of facility is this in if you don’t mind me asking? Is this a hospital?
If I were in the middle of something and that laptop did that to me, it would now be a two piece laptop.
That cable management looks pretty clean tho
I got completely distracted by the solid cable management as well.
They have cable management rules to prevent chaos from happening, which will if given the opportunity
That's not a server rack, that's an SCP.
I've cleaned one of those out once. Went from 10base-T to 100base-T in the building.
Fuck I'm old
Too late OP, now I know where you live
127.0.0.1
Wait a minute. That's my address!!
Not you.
Is this all we are? Just a bunch of nerds...some of who like to be naked and do naughty stuff...? Just out to figure out where the others live? 😞😕.
Recently I was able to identify where a porno was shot.... down in Brazil! WTF. I didn't tell anyone where. One day in the distant future I might be able to travel there so I too can claim fame. But why do we do it? We do we try to dox people?
For teh lulz. DUHH
I don't like Windows, but at the point where the laptop updates automatically hasn't it been bugging you about the update for hours or even days? I generally file complaints about bad update timings in the "fucked around and found out" folder
nope. it can just come out of nowhere sometimes.
Not in the EU region lol
I mean, shouldn't you be able to refuse updates anyway ? Like if there is you don't like or that will break your workflow in the update, shouldn't you be able to accept the risks and keep the old version indefinitely ?
Companies lock out the computer because it is lacking updates rather than have it working. Apple broke ssh on all their macs with an update for three months or so. Managed to postpone it for a while until the called and said I have to update or be locked out. Luckily I had postponed it for so long that the next update arrived just like a week later.
No, not on a business owned device. The updates should give warnings, of course. Some companies don’t seem to know how to supply those warnings before mandating the install, for some reason.
The admins are not InTune with the latest technology
My company uses a third-party deployment platform that gives you dialog with a 60 minute countdown and a button to start immediately. And I think the deployment dialog can't pop up if you're not on the computer. Because nobody likes nonsense like five minute countdowns that can start while the screen is locked.
Honestly I don’t even remember, this was a long time ago, but if I recall the shitass Dell computer I was given had an SSD that repeatedly disconnected and required a forced reboot. Updates were managed automatically by the org so I don’t think I was ever prompted to update during my short time there. When I powered the shitter on Windows decided it was apparently a good time to update.
Still, though, I prefer an OS where I can fuck around in that regard and not find out.
It really is a situation where you can't make everyone happy. If you don't force users to update eventually you get situations like WannaCry, where millions of PCs get hit by ransomware exploiting a vulnerability that was patched two months ago
