I bought annoyatron from thinkgeek and put it in a ceiling vent the day i left on a vacation.
Someone called me on my vacation to ask about the noise.

That was a bit self-defeating

Someone did the same thing at the last place I worked. Being a DoD contractor they went overboard and "thought they were being bugged". Needless to say that wasn't a fun environment to work in.

@scottalanmiller said in Practical jokes on fellow IT colleagues:

I once worked at a place where @andyw created a tiny hidden "virus" application that would, from time to time, on an unpredictable basis, make a turkey sound from the PC speaker. Took months for people to figure out what was going on. It was so fast, they just thought that there was something living in the office.

There was a popular one a long time ago that would burp. The only way to turn it off was to put your mouse in the top left corner of the screen.

Congrats to @gjacobse and @wirestyle22 both of whom started new jobs this week.

Where did you guys end up?

@fateknollogee Hardware RAID is recommended because a lot of people lack the practice and skill with software RAID to appropriately maintain/troubleshoot/fix software raid.

Plus you often get features like Blind swap.

Nope...
The folks at RH say, currently, performance is better with HW RAID & that is how most of their testing/validation is done.

That's odd, but okay. I would generally think they make the recommendation because they know there is a huge lack of understanding on how software raid needs to be managed.

I'm also guessing it's because RAID isn't necessarily needed. The overhead for software RAID doesn't gain much if you're bricks are replicated anyway.

But the overhead of hardware RAID wouldn't gain anything, either.

It doesn't pull anything from the OS though. SW would actually use resources the system could use. So the only thing you would see is less capacity.

I saw a site recommend going to System > Display > Advanced Scaling Settings and fixing it there. But it is already off there, and that does nothing. So once again, Windows 10 total failure. How do normal people outside of IT even use Windows anymore?

Its popping up because it's off. It's alerting you to turn it on

But I don't want it to scale, it's doing the right thing. Off is correct. The notification is just wrong, period.

It's not scaling. I had to turn it on to fix Outlook and nothing changed sizes. It's for the handful of dialog boxes and applications that appear blurry for whatever reason.

It's not scaling? Even though it's the scaling dialogue?

I didn't notice any changes other than the boxes that were blurry. I didn't notice it scale anything else.

Confirmed that turning off ALL notifications does NOT stop this pop up. Any one have any other ideas?

Did you turn the fix blurry setting on?

Sorry literally got the notification that you posted that while I was typing this response.
