IT BS thread

Put the HDD into one of the other laptops, return to customer. #done

 

Yup, that's what I did (I had one on hand because it came back from someone who retired). Buys me time to get the other one replaced or working.

HP probably thinks I'm insane since they have replaced everything that could cause it.

 

Of all our stuff, the Lenovo machines are the most bulletproof. Don't have much from Dell--about 100 Optiplex 390s but nothing else. HP usually comes in at the lowest cost, though occasionally Lenovo will.

 

I have a Thinkpad that's going on 10 years now. It's now running Ubuntu, but nothing physically wrong with it except for a couple of bubbles in the screen near the bottom.

 

We have maybe 150 of their desktops and haven't had a single failure of any kind on any of them. Probably 50 ThinkPads all the same age (about three years now) and I sent one in last week because the display would occasionally get some green lines unless you pivoted it, so just a bad cable in the hinge. Other than that, no issues.

 

I fully expected the ribbon cable to fail on my Thinkpad Tablet because it's the 360* hinge. So far, no issues whatsoever with the display cable. I even pick the laptop up by the display sometimes, haha.

 

Pray you have no issues with those lenovos. Here is a graphical representation of our experience with their support:

 

This is why I don't code

 

Yup! Took C++ and Java courses at one point. Hated them and didn't do so well.

Compiler complains about line 76, the problem is actually in line 42. Very aggravating.

 

Rough night at work. We support the IT staff at the local arena. They are hosting the first and second rounds of the ncaa tournament. Kansas, Kentucky, UCONN, and Indiana are all playing here. I got to walk around on the court a lot tonight.

That feeling when your EIGRP routes won't redistribute into your OSPF network....

 

Routing and ACLs are the two reasons I couldn't pass a CCNA at this point. We just use RIP for routing so that's all I really know anymore. Simple and don't have to mess with it.

...and a sig quote? Apparently I'm TW famous now.

 

Looks fun! I would love to get into those configs and poke around.

 

It's literally a CCNA lab I was rebuilding.

Oh and I 'bout died on that quote. That was the thread about taking of the 110mph limiter.

If really interested I could pack up the proj files.

 

The answer was less interesting than I assumed... also made me hate OSPF more than EIGRP that much more.

 

So... this happened: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...mpany-with-one-line-of-bad-code-a6984256.html

 

Saw that yesterday. Funny as hell.

Wow.. a co-worker deleted all the agents in Kaseya once... but that's impressive.
