Oh, we are sharing workplace cable management, ok, here’s a place I used to work at: Image
It's been a while since I was fired from my job, so here's a picture of Windows updating at the wrong time

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.
Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
It’s called security. Hackers can’t tap into our data if they can’t find the data cable!

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.
Tiral@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Holy dust.
toddestan@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Sir, words have meaning. This does not fit the definition of management

Wow it’s the data center equivalent of developing country wiring.

They have cable management rules to prevent chaos from happening, which will if given the opportunity
apftwb@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I work with an organization that has a “cableman” who goes around and yanks unapproved or unlabeled Ethernet cables from very important server racks. He has complete immunity from any consequences of pulling said cable. If the cable was important, it should have been labelled.

The laptop is updating on company’s time . Drink some tea, blame Microsoft and call it a day.

Not if it’s properly cooled and it’s summer time.

Why are you using windows for what looks like important infrastructure work? 😬
thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 day ago
May not be his choice.

For sure. The ‘you’ was more a corporate you. Someone made this call.

‘Them’ is also a valid pronoun when you don’t know or are unsure if gender!
AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Because bossman says use this machine which has windows installed.
titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 day ago
It’s the normal process. Very rarely do I go into a site and not be requested to have windows available.

Too late OP, now I know where you live
altphoto@lemmy.today 1 day ago
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?
Wicked@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I wanna learn hiw to dox! So i can scare the little shits that are way better than me at video games

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
rounding_error@lemmy.today 1 day ago
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 tenure. When I powered the shitter on Windows decided it was apparently a good time to update.
Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 1 day ago
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 ?
CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
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.
mumblerfish@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
spitfire@lemmy.world 1 day ago
No, because devices need to be compliant, there needs to be an unskipable deadline. Otherwise everyone would just defer.
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
nope. it can just come out of nowhere sometimes.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
Not in the EU region lol
OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 day ago
Still, though, I prefer an OS where I can fuck around in that regard and not find out.
Anivia@feddit.org 1 day ago
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

That’s some decent cabling

If I were in the middle of something and that laptop did that to me, it would now be a two piece laptop.

It’s not the hardware’s fault! You can install something good.

One time the computer restarted while I was trying to scan in a B52. I narrowly avoided flipping the workstation over by having to go verify it manually with a coworker instead and just charted it later.
