It’s not a big deal, and often it’s literally just about whitespace so that we don’t have fifteen different indentation models and bullet syntaxes.

a lot of amazon sellers simply mark working pulls as “refubrished” when all they did was reformat or if you are lucky did a zero fill and check that the sectors weren’t bad.

I don’t trust reburbs that aren’t manufacturer refurbished on any site because its a huge difference in the testing and checking being done.

I do sometimes buy used drives, but I know what I am getting there vs “refurbished” - and there is usually a pricing difference which is why so many are dishonestly calling used drives refurbs.

you want to look at the sellers warranty policies. if if they actually have one besides amazons, the seller is confident in their own items longevity

Theres not fixing what ain’t broke and there is refusing to budget to move on when needed. There are a lot of ifs and assumptions in your reply trying to put me in my place here. Old software that won’t run on anything modern becomes a recipe for disaster when said hardware breaks down and can’t be replaced with anything that functions.

Fuck it lets see if all 3 of my replies can get to negative 3 digits: none of this matters because the original problem was pretty damm easy to fix but here I am taking shit on social media for saying so.

P.s. in medical client sitiations there are compliance laws involved, and I keep seeing hospitals and practices not meet them until they start eating fines because they want to use every machine till it literly falls apart.

Remember when they tried to pretend he was not really involved? And then the time the removed his name? Insert pepperage farm meme graphic.

I felt that way till the influx of redditors came to get their little dopamine kicks via the rate buttons and bickering on bs topics.

“Reddit CEO teases new ways to damage and eventually kill Reddit”

I know my industry thanks. I’ve over a decade of experiance in sizable complex organizations. You know who really likes to cling to outdated hardware and software? Hopefully this scares you because it should: medical organizations.

What the IT people did (and what others claimed was done) during this fiasco was objectively worse than the actual fix but everyone in this thread just isn’t happy that I didn’t join them in shitting on microsoft. This is where lemmy shows that its users are becoming more like reddit users every day. Or don’t know what /s means.

Hopefully none of those systems were exposed to anything internet facing for obvious reasons, but given the shear incompetance observed I wouldn’t be surprised.

It was what crowdstrike themselves told us to do!!! but I get bad faith questions assumptions and exaggerations out of people allegedly in my field here on Lemmy. Bullshit. You clowns belonged back on reddit. You are the worst kind of people.

The only real use of trademark I could find was actually on the twitter account clownstrike took a picture of, unless they seriously want to try and tell is they think the name could be confused for theirs with a straight face.

Copyright assholes got a seat at the table when it was being drafted everyone else was given the finger. Its designed to be easily abused. Accidently on purpose, if you get me.

Hell old MSs penalty was giving free licenses in markets it never had a grip on, so its “lock 'em in!” model meant the “penalty” benefited them!

Its worse in that to see the content I want I need MULTIPLE subscriptions that add up to more than cables cost …or I can sail the high seas once more. I’ve cancellled everything except amazon because I save enough on shipping to justify it (mostly heavy items)

Sounds about right for any news outlet. “Slams” is so overused, and usually nowhere near an accurate euphamism.

It has 100% happened before and just never been admitted to. I have both 1st hand dealt with the aftermath and heard from other smaller companies about it. I work at medium sized MSP and disaster recovery is in my wheelhouse.

Usually some excuse about being more accessible from someone that just doesn’t want to leave their own comfort zone - non professionals playing at being professional after coming across our github. See also: complaints about not having an installer download (strictly clone and build)

C#itheads - those are the guys that show up to the emulation project I work on insisting we would drastically improve by nuclear rewriting millions of lines of code into c# (or another language occasionaly).

It’s a 20ish yrs old c++ program, we’re never doing it but someone will show up trying to push the topic every couple of months.

I used starcraft references in mine till the project lead demanded I knock it off.

The protoss quotes were perfect.
