@WrCombs Something to look forward to
Me to my "new" boss: "we should make this change to allow for better security, require everyone to MFA at least x amount"
Answer I'm expecting: We'll have to research it and pass it up the chain (that would have been my old job)
Answer I got: "You're the security officer, make it so"Me: When did I become the security officer?
New Boss: Just now!Me: Does that come with a new salary?
that is the question to ask ; but i'll just be happy to not be micromanaged every second of everyday
Careful what you wish for-
When I started this current job, I wasn’t micromanaged,.. or questioned, or ‘abused’.Now it’s a daily thing. What was great and a great directory turned to ….. badly fermented chocolate pudding
that's unfortunate. I'm just hoping it's not the same thing
So say we all.

Listening to Fedora Nest sessions while working.

It is my official Last Day at RDS - got in an hour late, leaving at 3:00pm and not turning back .
-
Surprisingly, the fiber optic cables and transceivers I ordered showed up about 30 minutes ago. Hopefully that means I'll be leaving the office soon and heading to the data center... This will finally let us connect to our new DR systems remotely!

Morning all. Coffee, uploading some videos, preparing for a meeting in less than an hour. How are y'all?

Hyper priority today,.. tickets tickets tickets,… FFS, don’t cuss at me. And you wonder why I get ‘lippy’ sometimes.
Troubleshooting a PS script, then I recall why I think it happens,.. deleting the user profile from across the network give an error,.. it’s because windows sees the profile ‘in use’ so have to ‘force it maybe’.
Priority is a priority except this new priority and now has a higher priority then the previous important priority.

Awesome - Really happy for you, and hope it works to YOUR liking.
Chocolatey is pretty awesome - I put it on all my personal devices, and 'snuck' it in on the work. They push updates to it,... but there are some things that I wanted over their 'junk'.
Here is a trimmed list from -this- computer:
Chocolatey v1.1.0 7zip 22.1 adblockpluschrome 1.12.4 audacity 3.1.3 balabolka 2.15.0.822 chromium 103.0.5060.114 discord 1.0.9005 etcher 1.7.9 ffmpeg 5.1 filezilla 3.60.2 foxitreader 12.0.0.1239400 gimp 2.10.32.1 GoogleChrome 103.0.5060.134 greenshot 1.2.10.6 hwinfo 7.24 libreoffice 5.4.4.20180111 libreoffice-fresh 7.3.4 microsoft-windows-terminal 1.13.11431.0 nomachine 7.10.2.800 openshot 2.6.1 plex 1.49.1.3146 rufus 3.19 signal 5.51.0 steam 3.0.1.20200226 steam-client 2.10.91.92 teamviewer 15.31.5 telegram 4.0.2 telegram.install 4.0.2 telegram.portable 4.0.2 windirstat 1.1.2.20161210 winscp.install 5.21.1 youtube-dl 2021.12.17 yumi-uefi 0.0.4.6Likely a few that need to be culled out... like why are there three Telegram - I only need the one - likely MY error during the install. By not specifying the right 'application' name.
Updating is super fast
choco upgrade all -yGet coffee or in my case Mountain Dew and finished or mostly finished when you get back.

Good stuff to have!

Heading out to the beach to see a band and get some food.

Playing with the microphone/camera and related settings - lots of background noise i'm trying to see if it's going to be a problem

What camera/mic? Internal to the new laptop?
Check the mic boost levels….. what noise is it picking up.

Yea, think I finally got it figured out, but I'm doing laundry and my "office" is in the basement in the space across from the washer and dryer - and it was a lot of static -

Gotcha -
My home office is five feet from the HVAC and hot water tank... so I understand background noise. With a dual ear headset it was never an issue.. but NTG didn't do all that many video calls either. Now the State and the clinic - they are all about that fool camera... -
Was going to mow,... but Mother said - uhm no. You no mow now. ... might have gotten another quarter inch of rain.. ugh - people here are getting a tad tired of rain... and a bit antsy when it does. Eastern Kentucky town got about eleven inches.. so there has been a lot of flooding. Families could really use some of that $1.3B lottery money - and Fed/State/Local money as well.

Now the State and the clinic - they are all about that fool camera...the HVAC is on the other side of the wall - I can hear it but did a test Video call with the girlfried and she couldn't hear that
lighting is the next big thing
-
got the lighting figured out, going to be running with less lights than one would think, but it looks okay for me.
no glares in the camera, etc.when needed I can turn on extra lamps and stuff.

Why manual upgrades? There are some packages for choco to upgrade everything.
