So I get an email about people not being aware that technology ages and needs to be replaced regularly, and I reply 15 minutes after receiving this email, about how tech needs to be refreshed regularly.
And 5 minutes after that the wind knocks out the power.
In other news, IT admin fired today after sassing employees and then causing and focusing a wind storm to knock out power and prove his point.
Breaking News: IT Tech stopped pressing Return on world ending computer. We're all dead.
And it's the tech's fault
My mother in law somehow thinks that each person she talks to at Comcast IS Comcast and I just don't agree with that mindset. I understand the service is shit and their techs are shit, but what do you think you're going to get paying $30k a year? It's the same reason you dont ask people at best buy what to buy. If they knew what they were doing they wouldn't be making $9 an hour.

I would totally focus and cause a wind storm to prove my point if I could...

^ This right here is very important to remember. That vendor guy who's telling you how to spec out your gear wouldn't be selling it if he knew how to spec and install it.

Dad said that they hit 70 mph in NY.

confirmed 50+ gusts here, the news said this morning.
-
Talk about getting blown away...
