Dealing with Windows updates taking down sites.
what was happening? what wasn't/isn't connecting?
Terminals werent finding fileserver, after rolling back the windows update sites loaded.'
apparently the Windows update caused issues with the NICs and terminals werent able to communicate.Which version of Windows?
Terminals were xp and Office was 7
I'm assuming this is a client site, and why for the love of God haven't they been forced to update their operating systems (and presumably server systems)?
Because Point of sales systems are expensive.
Upgrading a point of sales system is expensive.
Restaurants dont like change, "if something works, Let it work , dont change it"
We Suggest and push and try to sell so we do our part, but its always up to the customer at the end of the day.
If the customer says " No I dont want to spend money on a new system" They use what they have, I suggest and try to tell people to change hundreds of times a day.
We cant force people to upgrade, We can only suggest it. -
and here comes the BS

Dealing with Windows XP? Seriously. . . EoL was on April 8, 2014 that's going on 5 years ago now. And I suspect that the restaurants aren't paying MS for support either!

Those don't lurk and are commonly referred to as "freight trains of the forest"

I've met a few in Canada. Not a good idea.

I heard Moose meat is pretty tasty. I might have to come to ol Canada and have @MattSpeller introduce me and a Moose (moose on the receiving end of a large caliber weapon).

It's terrifying what they'll do to a car if you hit one, do not recommend googling that.

It's god damn delicious. Moose pepperoni is one of my favourite things.

Takes a brave, brave man (or woman) to produce said meat, however.

Much like hunting a freight train on PMS that doesn't need to stay on the tracks.

In all fairness normal trains don't need to stay on the tracks either.

Just preparation and friends with strong backs. They're certainly not invulnerable to rifles lol.

@MattSpeller More bear and moose have been killed with these than any other rifle / caliber in Canada.

It's good but can be difficult to cook since it's typically very lean. Works really well in simmered dishes like a stew or ground up and used in place of beef on pizza. For anything else most people mix the ground moose with ground pork, otherwise it winds up being too dry. I'd never tried it myself until we moved to the spouse's hometown. Where's I'm from (PEI) there's no big game, so my first taste of moose was at the age of..... 23... I think?

@notverypunny yeah, near zero fat means more ass kicking muscle to chase you with.
