  Here was my nightmare on the day some equipment died and we had to patch around it manually

    I’m not IT in any capacity than my own shit at home. Tackling this looks impossible.

      You just need a machete and a strong wrist.

      The solution to tackling it was to just not tackle it. See the various dangling cables where something was no longer needed and rather than removing the cable, screw it, it is lost to the entropy.

      Just takes time, patience, and enough money to not care.

      Not impossible. Just extremely tedious and time consuming.

  Not cable management but I used to provide PCs for nonprofits at no charge and took hardware donations to keep it going. I received this donation, and it it was fully functional before I stripped it for parts:Image

    Fairly normal for any system in my area that isn’t serviced regularly every 2 to 3 years.

      A lot of that is rust too. There were even rusted bits on the mobo.

        Yeah I was gunna say the least of the visible issues is the dust… that thing looks like its been on a transatlantic boat ride through a sulphuric acid rainstorm

        Ah, didn’t see the rust. That doesn’t happen here. We are dry as a bone.

    Smoker? I’ve seen some truly disgusting computers that came from houses where people smoked. Even when they still worked usually the best thing was to just strip them for parts because you’ll never get rid of the smell.

      I have received some disgusting PCs from smoker houses, but this one came from a commercial paint shop. Mostly cars etc.

  It’s called security. Hackers can’t tap into our data if they can’t find the data cable!

  Sir, words have meaning. This does not fit the definition of management
