    • My luck is on fire... and my truck.

      A few weeks ago my truck broke. Radiator hose split. Not a big deal, but I had to pull over and couldn't finish my drive to work. That day I won a contest on Spiceworks for a MangoCon ticket, thanks to @ChrisL and Colocation America. Yesterday my truck broke again. Bolt for brake caliper broke and it pushed it into the rim. Later that day I won another contest for a trip to SpiceWorld.

      I can't wait for my truck to break again.

    • RE: Reason for having Beard ?

      Beard length directly correlates to Linux knowledge. Tell them if you shave, you'll know less.

      I look forwards to going. I am going to make point to always drive with a lottery ticket though.

      I went ahead and ordered one this morning. I would like a zero instead, but I can find some use for this until I can get a zero. I have a few projects where a zero's size would be quite useful.

      Welcome to MangoLassi, by the way. I know you've been here for a bit, but this is your first post 🙂

      Thank you, I've been just kind of creeping around since you convinced me to sign up from spiceworks. I'm generally not very active in forums, but I am liking the community here.

    • RE: How do you get your boss to notice your work?

      Write errors to their event logs, and then go over, bring it up in front of them, then "fix it."

      Unfortunately, sometimes the better you are at your job, the less anyone knows you've done anything. I would just try to have regular meetings with your boss, talk about what you've done since the last meeting, and upcoming projects you'd like to tackle.

      Possibly not a good idea, if he works with Windows exclusively he may have to take off the first layer of skin.

      Then he has to value what hair he does have. Hair doesn't survive well in Windows environments.

    • RE: GPO on Desktop

      You can change permissions for the "desktop" folder . I don't know of a GPO for it off hand, but here's a site that's rather helpful with policies.

    • RE: how your IT department approach a request?

      Here, we have worked out a default setup for each department. If the department head makes a request for a new machine, they are reminded what the default setup for their department is, and if they would like anything different, they need to specify it.

      I'm also lucky. The execs here just demand everyone to place detailed request. If someone doesn't get what they wanted, they weren't specific enough.

      The only good use of a 3DTV is split screen gaming. Not, that I've ever done it, but it looks cool.

      https://www.cnet.com/news/lgs-dual-play-gets-serious-with-split-screen-gaming/

      Do any games support that?

      Looks like only 6 games do. On the PS3. Maybe this was an abandoned feature.

      @jimmynelson said in Looking forward for my First IT job:

      @jimmynelson my agency on holiday now I can't reach him now . Maybe I can send email to ask for duties

      Is this one of those random emails you get from a recruiter, when you sign up on a job search site?
      I would think an actual job offer would include a lot more information.

      It wasn't bad. Hitched a trailer and took it over. The recycling center is only 3 minutes away. Didn't even have to unload anything.

      Local metal recycling facility just gave us $80 for all our old batteries.

      How many batteries and what size were these?

      The sizes varied as they were from different units. The company had a pile of old ones, because they didn't know what to do with them. I think it was around 60.

    • RE: GPO applying when it shouldn't

      If you have another GPO that is enforced, just try moving the printer GPO so it's applied after that one, or before if it is already after it.

      Doesn't sound like it should be applying, but you can add a wmi filter to your printer policy, and have it exclude RDS servers. That's a bandaid solution though. If you come across a real solution, please update. I am very curious.

      If the printer policy is enforced, it will override the blocked inheritance.
