I don't understand why he kills the drill instructer, what the duck is the movie even about? Is it literally just following Joker?I don't fucking get it
I work for a small web dev company consisting of the boss (CEO and designer), project manager (she does the site QA, handles customers and invoicing), graphic designer, a writer and myself (web developer/firefighter).
I challenge you to share stories and prove to me that you've met a more mismanaged and more disorganized chaotic group of fucking morons in an IT workplace. I'll start off with an easy one and share more.
Just FYI, none of them have the slightest clue how to work or do anything technology related. I'm rarely in the office. This is my entertaining for a little extra side money.
Story #1 - The Flattened PSD
>Designer has another fire on his hands, he promised his client a site months ago and hadn't even started the PSD
>He spends 3 hours whipping up some garbage half-assed PSD
>Saves the entire thing as a jpg
>Flattens all the layers
>Doesn't save a PSD
>Panic in the office sets in as they realize all they have is this jpg file
>They spend an hour trying to get layers to show up in the jpg file (no, I'm not joking) downloading random adobe products to see if they'll help
>They eventually decide that the solution is to try to recreate it again
>They now have a working PSD that they send to the client for their approval (they always send PDF files for previewing for some fucking reason)
This is their process for having clients preview designs before starting development. He develops the PSD, saves it as a PDF file, uploads it to Dropbox and shares that link.
>The client informs him that his company was dumped weeks ago and he was trying to get his security deposit back, not get his site launched
The next story is one I call "The Deleted Emails"
go on
>>53458548
The Deleted Emails is a fun one.
Story #2 - The Deleted Emails
>They acquire a client for a website and email management
>This guy owns several companies and has 30 technicians always out in the field and we're going to be the ones who manage and setup all their devices for email
>They try to transfer the guy's domain by themselves
>They completely disregard that he might have email on his existing host and they do a complete registrar transfer and they ask Site 5 support how to point it to their own reseller nameserver
>Everything's good to go! Just one problem, the guy is missing every fucking email and calls them furious
>The guy keeps quotes, financial data and company information in those emails
>They panic (they're always in panic mode, every single day)
Now, the next part is baffling to me. I literally to this day have no idea how they did this or what they did to cause this.
>They log into the old hosting company
>They somehow end up deleting the email off of that server and deleting the hosts's backup of the site and emails
>They start trying to see if it's his computer, ask him to restart his computer and download windows updates
>They bring the guy's computer into the office and ask me to come into the office (this is the first time I've heard of this client or knew what they were doing)
>"Hey anon, can you look at this guy's computer? We think maybe Outlook deleted some emails and we want to see if you can find them."
>Just come in and dick around for a few hours after hearing about what they did, there's literally nothing you can do and there weren't even any pst files left on the computer
Spoiler: They didn't get the email contract for those 30 field technicians. They also ended up doing the exact same thing to another client who owned a manufacturing company that ended up being related to the guy from the story above.
Story #3 - The Scope (Short)
>In the office
>he's complaining about never making money and sites never going out the door
>We argue that he has no clue what he's doing and needs to stop designing because they're horrendous
>"Okay anon since you're so smart, you tell me what the problem is."
>Me: "You have no business plan, you never have any kind of scope for any of your projects, you're not charging enough, you're mismanaged and the project manager is a clueless idiot who has no idea what's going on and looks confused all the time."
>"Anon, what do you mean I have no scope for projects? The PSDs I send are the scope! That is the scope of the projects!"
>Have no words, just look at him for a good 30 seconds
>Leave
>He calls, sucks up and kisses ass to get me to continue 'helping' him since every other dev he hires has a one week turnover rate

I've had enough with fighting the retarded captchas that take forever to load and fucking have the wrong answer.
Are there any good resources on how they're implemented? I'm not really looking for OCR shit, but more for implementation flaws and timing/cookie style attacks.
>>53458325
Is this a tech board, or do you guys only shitpost about you laptop specs and trade anime?
They're in obfuscated javascript or something.

adblock on suicide watch
they are now taking money to inject un-blockable ads directly into your browser. this is a separate thing from their whitelist. you cannot turn these ads off

Just what made them think this was a good idea?
As if >>53450095 and >>53450786 were not enough, see:

Hopefully this time the IT departments will take the message and plan a proper migration for the next corporate upgrade cycle. That is, one away from the Microsoft ecosystem.
Yeah, good luck with that.
Most IT departments are staffed with loyal Microsoft pinheads who have only ever known Windows and are still deeply ingrained with the "Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM" mentality.
Also many companies still rely on old Win32 and .NET line-of-business applications that make it difficult to migrate away.
Also most cubicle drones are Windows home users who can hardly find their way around one OS environment, let alone a second one.
>>53456851
>migrate away from microsoft
its almost like you have never worked a real job in your life!
>>53457290
>its almost like you have never worked a real job in your life!
It's almost like you've been under a rock the last 5 years. There are plenty of companies that have removed their dependency on Windows. SMB and medium sized corporations will take a while because they can't afford to support multiple environments or migrate away from their shitty proprietary software, but it'll eventually happen. Larger enterprises are already supporting multiple environments.
I'm not even saying it will be GNU/Linux that will become popular - Android, OSX, ChromeOS are all valid candidates.
Does anyone here on /g/ have a piratebox?
Do people acctually use it?
I have a tl-mr3020 laying around here and thinking about building one for when university starts next month
don't have one but it sounds cool, i might build one
>>53456860
not sure if it makes any sense though and people would acctually use it.
I guess all those smartphone fags would be too afraid of it, but in uni class it might be working though.
That's why I acctually asked for some experience.
Maybe will change the layout to something 'cool'

Is it possible to create a harddrive which will automatically encrypt all received data via hardware without losing much in speed, or are we forever doomed to use software methods?

Is LTSB N still the definitive version of W10?
I'm upgrading to a 390 and want to use DX12 with minimal bloat, will dualboot Mint or Elementary OS as my main non gaymen OS.
LTSB version of Enterprise is unnecessary since you can turn off automatic updates on Enterprise..
>>53456335
To answer your question, yes it's the best you can get.
>>53456493
Does Enterprise still have Cortana and the shit app store?
