When you do sales, the most important thing is the price you sold it for and the price you bought it for.

Now, when you tell someone, "I'm not sure what the current price is, but I sold it for X" All that matters is if the cost price is lower than X

When I'm doing my invoice, why on earth would you give me the official selling price? Now all my figures are wrong! #ShakesFist

So I'm predominantly on Google Home at #Castlecannon, and when I got an email inviting me to convert to Gemini, I was all, "Ooh, why not?"

I'll tell you why not. Because it's a steaming pile of turd that has almost wrecked years of training.

I've had to retrain it to play my favourite radio station. I used to be able to control my Samsung TV with it. Now all I can do is turn it off and on. And I keep finding the Nest thermostat on 20C even though all the learning is turned off!

I was right (I'm always right), goddam TEAMS meeting was them trying to sell to me! #ShakesFist

It's like being on chuffing LinkedIN

Somebody could have told me to install this!

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvme-cli
sudo nvme get-feature -f 0x0c -H /dev/nvme0

i do plan to abandon windows soon, but i have not fully made that switch, and i just want to point out another truly annoying feature: if you hit F1 by accident, anywhere, it opens the MS Edge browser, which cannot be un-installed. and, when you close the window that opens, it leaves 5 "Microsoft Edge" processes still running in the background, which you have to "End Task" on to kill! arrrrrghhhh

Ditters Von Dittersdorf! #ShakesFist is it 3 flats or 2 sharps?! Also that's a totally made up name!

@BigG I hate you!

@ParadeGrotesque How dare you infringe my cranky copyright.

@ParadeGrotesque I mean, look how big the case is! Rediculous. Goddam gamers who think they're IT experts. #ShakesFist

My poor GoFor was slagging me off something wicked when he came back after collecting them from the customer. (We're setting them up).

"I nearly had a fooking hernia carrying one of em!" I was called a few other choice words as well. 🤣

In my defence, the call I had was that there were two PCs that needed collecting and setting up. 🤷‍♂️

So, a job that was blown out of proportion by a situation of "too many chiefs and not enough Indians," which had been ongoing for two days, was resolved in just under forty minutes!

Work in IT, they said, it'll be rewarding, they said.

Microsofts determination to lock you down is beginning to get on my tits!

I had to reinstall my work PC the other day, so I went to use Phone Link (which is pretty good, TBH), and of course, I had to set it up again.

Whoa! Hold the phone. You now have to log into your Microsoft account, which is a pain because I have two M365 accounts, one at work and one at home, so that will be a PITA if I have to keep logging in and out.

Never had to do that before.

Nothing gets my hackles up more than to see people effectively sitting around all morning doing sweet FA only for them to go: "Oh, no! I can't do that because we're going to XYZ first thing this afternoon. #Shakesfist

The time you've wasted so far today trying to find a way of completing the task with minimal effort, you could have easily done it the long way I showed you this morning. Now you will have wasted the whole day instead of half a day!

I swear to god, the wife does or says the opposite just to wind me up!

I've put the heating on every morning, and when Her Highness finally gets out of bed, she promptly turns the heating down. This morning, I didn't put it on as the living room didn't seem that cold, and she walks in: "It's freezing!" and promptly turns the nest to 20C

So I had a bright idea to assign different fixed IP's to my two #raspberrypi based NAS drives. The NEO went fine, and the Duo disappeared off the face of the earth! Luckily, I have a small 10" monitor and a Logitech wireless KB with a touchpad. I ran omv-firstaid and reset the IP address, and bingo, the Duo reappeared on the network

For some reason, shitty W11 has decided it will no longer allow access to the shares, telling me the administrator won't allow guest access. #ShakesFist #omv

@Paul If only I still had a Euro MP, I would write to them and complain about how the UK is getting the short (Shitty) end of the stick again when it comes to public holidays compared to our so-called European partners. 🇪🇺

Four attempts at importing a spreadsheet online.

Hands up all those who have a ticketing system at work.

Hands up to all those whose boss has access to said ticketing system.

Hands up all those who receive emails on a regular basis asking about "Ticket number xxxxx ......" when all a certain person has to do is look at the ticket!

#CastleCannon is a bit buggered at the minute. Run out of disk space for the minute. I am waiting for my Webmaster to increase the VM. #ShakesFist

@cybervegan I generally find this happens when people are determined to use a Mac when the company is MS/Windows-based. The line manager refuses to buy them the Mac they want, so a week later and, with a repayment plan in place, they turn up and start demanding we "Get them on the network" #ShakesFist

Bastard #Portainer #docker

The swarm is running; they see each other, and Portainer sees the swarm (created outside of Portainer), but the agent won't deploy on the four nodes.

Bastard, bumholes, willys, dog turd. #ShakesFist
