Pet Peeve.

Since IT in their infinite wisdom routed our Remote Desktop through horizon I can no longer alt-tab through windows in RDP.

Makes WFH with a single monitor extra fun.

Don't be a cheapskate Chrisiketeves, get another monitor.

Try Alt+PgUp / Alt+PgDn
Definitely annoying compared to Alt+Tab, but it's handy being able to switch windows locally and on RDP.

Gonna be hard to break the muscle memory on that one.

I ended up staring at my screen for like 30 seconds the first time just thinking fucckkkkjk

Remoting in is the worst.

All of you Chris, Mike and Steves can start fucking off. It's making my emailing needlessly difficult.
You're the white Mohammeds of 1979 and I've had it up to here with the lot of yous!

3 companies I've worked at now...
there's always people attracted to work at the same company with the exact same first/last name, so someone has to use their middle initials

I started work at a company on the exact same day as someone with my same fist name, and he had the exact same job title as well. Confusion lasted until he quit and I took over his area.

He went to visit your art room?

[ExtraSlow]

we don't talk about what happened to him, but he doesn't bother me any more . . .

[ThePenIsMightier]

Fell in love
With ExtraSlow,
At the Art Show.
He said "What?"
And I told him
That I didn't know.
He's so cool!
Wish I could sneak out
This boarded window!

"hey come look under here" is my favourite opening line.

[suntan]

Can confirm that it his favourite line.

Just started with a new company and their IT security is next level compared to anything I've had to deal with so far in my career. Harmless websites that are perceived as not necessary for work are blocked (see: restaurant menus), the bluetooth is disabled so you're forced to use a wired headset, you're not allowed to do wireless printing from home, and all external emails are automatically filtered to junk to prevent accidentally clicking on links or attachments. For some reason Microsoft Teams is also blocked with exceptions being extremely rare which has been super fun for external meetings.

Its going to be an annoying adjustment period.

is your company full of retards? Is there a reason the senior management thinks that you are all retards?

Like most policies, cybersecurity ones have to be structured around the dumbest people. Even present in small numbers, they can cause big headaches.

I would imagine that is the case here. Its a pretty big company so even if only 1% of the people who work for them are dummies that's still a shit ton of people. Who knows, maybe I'm part of the dummy group hence blocking me from using a blue tooth headset

[suntan]

If 1% in your company fell for a phishing scam, the company would cease to exist the next day.
