  • Random? No I think my original message misses a point.

    I don’t look at ads. I don’t respond to messages I don’t answer phone calls from anyone besides my wife.

    I’m so overly cautious and uninterested I could possibly miss a call telling me my parents are dying.

    I’ve been in IT so long that everything these days is spam to me, I’m always looking for a way to disable every notification and block every call/message.

    The last time I had a real social media message that I cared about was back when MSN messenger existed… So at least 18+ years ago

    Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a ridiculous human being… I am a big fat loudmouth but even as far back as Bebo then Myspace then Facebook I’ve been more interested in getting attention face to face.

    Now I’ve gone on and on… That’s because I’m in my late 30s and I hate my job and I’ve drank too much alcohol.

    Good luck to you and I wish you well




  • My company is moving to Windows 11, I had one of my service desk teammates tell me that for an IT support person I’m very critical of change

    Before Windows 11 I was critical of change because every change came with no new training for my team and a giant email to the company explaining very lazily about the changes and with the same text at the end of every email… “Any problems call the service desk”.

    Now we’ve lost active directory… Now I’m in a position where an incredibly incompetent IT security have restricted our access to intune and Entra and then the business wants me to still perform my daily duties as normal.

    Upside is that same IT security is getting removed in the next few weeks.

    Probably to be replaced by someone else even worse.

    I just want to learn how to use Entra and Intune… Everything Microsoft touches turns to shit.

    Active directory just worked… It was built when people at Microsoft actually knew how the operating system worked… None of those people are still at Microsoft…



  • I’ve been a hardcore PlayStation guy since I was about 9 when I got my first console the PS1.

    Crash team racing is better than Mario Kart 64

    Spyro the Dragon is the best 3D platformer of the late 90s.

    I’ve had a PS2… That still works 22 years later.

    I was in the great wars of PS2 vs XBOX.

    I like Halo 1 and 2, I like Killzone 1, 2 and 3.

    I was there at the beginning.

    I was there when Sony moved their PlayStation HQ from Japan to America.

    I was there when the quality of good JRPGs and adventure games plummeted so we could be fed a new call of duty and FIFA every year.

    These days I’m PC, PS5 and switch. I will not be buying a PS6 or a Switch 2.

    It should be mentioned that… I’d rather throw myself down a cliff than buy an Xbox.
