      I question only whether it can be hacked

      Definitely will be if it hasn't already.

      Just trying to figure out what could be causing this!

      My rule of thumb is 30 minutes to solve any software issue that I could resolve via nuke/pave. Yeah, I nuke a lot of them but god damn it I never have to go back and fiddle or redo things or otherwise faff about.

    • RE: I can't even

      @nerdydad said in I can't even:

      Literal excerpt from a ticket.

      
      Need your assistance with the following connection for the equipment to be delivered and installed Dec. 09 
      
      Due to the built-in servo amplifier and frequency converter the 
      machines can not be connected directly to an IT network. 
      The IT network must be converted to a TN-S network by an isolating 
      transformer. The machine is connected to the TN-S network.
      
      This is going to a manufacturing machine, but can anybody shed some light as to what I am looking at here?
      

      My best translation from wanna be engineer wank:

      This thing is going to put out the motherload of interference and it will scramble the shit out of any standard RJ45. Please help.

      Have we got any confirmation by a forum member of this being a real thing?

      I don't want to start the witch hunt without evidence of fuckwittery

      We have one HP laptop here, but no Windows. So doesn't affect us.

      Nuke it, geez mate what are you waiting for 🙂

      Yay! Sage is broke again. Actually summoning Sage support this time.

      Do we need to break out the virgin chicken and olive oil? ... wait... is it virgin olive oil and chicken, I forget.

      This time the installer to update their payroll sync wizard failed. Sage chat support sent me an article detailing finding a registry key in HKCR and deleting it. Afterward installer ran fine.

      Ah cool.

      Until they pay me to be on call I only carry my phone. I do try and avoid planning weekend adventures far from cell service but they do happen.

      Just received a half-case of sous vide prime rib steaks, with heating instructions and seasoning. This is going to be soooo good, my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

      Hey @RojoLoco, what would you suggest I put with this?

      Keep it simple. Garlic mashed potatoes and blanched green beans are always good. If you're feeling fancy, make a nice red wine / balsamic reduction to drizzle over the top.

      Important thing here is temperature... what do the instructions suggest as a cooking temp? Remember, if you plan to sear it, you want your sous vide set 10-15 degrees F below your target temp. Maybe less if you use a torch. Also, brushing with melted butter after it comes out of the bag will aid the searing process.

      The sous vide process was already done for me. It tells me to put it on at about 250 degrees. I didn't catch to see for how long though.

      ?????????????

      Woah, that's way too high. If they are already cooked, they only need to be seared. When I do a steak, I set it somewhere between 112-116F. Add searing heat and carryover, and you have perfect mid-rare. 250F will give you well done in a short time.

      Got a link to the vendor site or the instructions?

      I work for the meat packing company that gave them to me. We have a professional kitchen. They were sous vide cooked at about 122F. Should be good to just sear right now.

      Gotcha. But sear quickly over the hottest flame you can muster to keep the final temp acceptable.

      Damn it you guys now I'm hungry

      0_1511285348971_20171121_092525.jpg

      .. I've come to fight with you again
      because of blue screens softly creeping
      a virus came while I was sleeping...

      And the garbage that was planted in my NAS
      Still remains
      Within the sound of silence
