  • And I wish that was the worst.

    Just last week, we had a call about missing emails to an accounts payable account.

    Emails weren’t missing. They needed to scroll down in outlook to the shared mailbox folder.

    There were 1400+ unread emails.

    They hadn’t noticed for a month.


  • MSP== managed service provider. Aka we’re the it team for multiple small businesses.

    Many of our clients have stuff that was out of warranty in the 1900s.

    Did you know there was a 32bit version of Windows 10? Cause I didn’t until one clients win xp machine finally died and the program they use can’t run on 64bit os’s. Lucky for the client that the guy who wrote the program was still willing to do some contract work to get us the installer and instructions. He’d been retired for about twenty years.





  • If I want an actual review, I’ll trust Jeff Geerling, GN, Explaining computers, Craft computing, or ETA Prime.

    If I want to watch someone do dumb tech stuff, I’m going for Linus, Dawid, …and red shirt Jeff Geerling. The difference is that the latter two go into it fully transparent that what they’re doing is purely for the “will it blend?” vibe and should not be taken too seriously.

    Linus’ videos blur the line a little too much between legitimately educational and purely for the entertainment value in a way that could give people false impressions of either the tech or processes.
