  2. Someone in the office is wearing a fragrance that smells like Raid (bug spray) 🤢

  3. I overheard someone mention that they were glad that I was taking the time to help a man at work. I asked why, and I found out that everyone has been sending people to me, for the reason that I never yell or raise my voice or express irritation with people.

    Around the office I’m known as the guy you send the dumbest people to, when they’ve done something unforgivably stupid, because I don’t make them feel bad.

    Is that something to put on my resume?

  4. In the AI training sessions they make us go to at work, they're still trying to teach prompt engineering here in 2026. It's magical thinking all the way down.

  5. Um pequeno #driver em usermode para o seu #watercooler (o display) funcionar no #linux. Testado no #fedora e no #ubuntu

    github.com/jgardona/wcoolmon.

    Se alguém puder ajudar a testar em outras distribuições, por favor fique à vontade.

  6. 终于看了Disney Nature新出的红毛猩猩纪录片,看完忍不住大哭一场🫠 红毛猩猩是我最喜欢的猩猩,而三个种类都濒临灭绝了。因为违法砍伐、树林逐渐稀疏,久居树顶的红毛猩猩越来越难迁移,无法和临近社群接触,基因健康逐渐下降。加上全球气候变化,食物越来越少,处境艰难的红毛猩猩只好保存能量、停止拜访朋友和玩耍。只有遇到难得丰收的雨季才可以看到红毛猩猩恢复原本的社会性行为,共享食物、互相打闹。想到地球可能有一天会失去红毛猩猩,真的好难过😭🦧 无话可说。

  7. A dotted line manager of mine is clearly running every single thing he writes through Copilot and I hate it so much and am doing what I can to get that dotted line severed. It's so incredibly patronizing.

  8. The problem with Return To Office is that you can’t just hit “mute” and have a good scream and/or cry.

  9. Se você tem um #watercooler #Mancer ou qualquer outra marca e tem medo de não funcionar em alguma distribuição linux, resolvi esse problema escrevendo um serviço para enviar a temperatura para o display do wcooler aqui, nesse repositório.

  10. Microsoft required me to click on an ad before signing into my work computer this morning. Time to throw this machine into the canal.

  11. Me, weeks ago: Hey we’re releasing new versions of products A and B. You can stick with the old versions if you want, but remember A & B work together so their versions must match!

    Me, last week: New versions of A & B are coming! Update them both for new features!

    Me, yesterday: New versions of A & B are here! Update both of them!

    My boss, 7 AM this morning: Hey, this new version of B is completely broken. It doesn’t work with my (old) copy of A at all!

    🤦‍♂️

  13. 好有力量的陈述。这是我最爱诗人(包括我自己)的地方:他们允许自己脆弱、允许自己展示脆弱,但不是为了让别人看到自己的脆弱,而是让别人也被允许脆弱。

    我宁愿在世界面前自我呈现为碎片,如果能够让另一个人接受自己的裂痕。

  14. 我终于做出了完美的London Fog🥹 也没有什么秘诀,秘诀就是牛奶还是得用全脂牛奶,别的奶都不成

  15. Cool, Microsoft admin portals are down. PowerShell modules work though. 👍

    Microsoft 347 really lives up to its name.

  16. I’m so extremely frustrated with an old guy at work who refuses to learn version control. “I already got a PhD so I shouldn’t have to learn anything new” shouldn’t be a valid excuse, but apparently it is! So working with him is taking longer than I planned, so I will miss a deadline. 😡

  17. My company decided to rapidly transition our 2-factor authentication system to remove SMS as an option this month, but they are refusing to buy smartphones for people who don't have them, and it's causing a shitstorm. They're literally giving people a few weeks notice to spend hundreds of uncompensated dollars or leave.

  18. In positive news, at work, based on the last penetration test we have managed to get down to less than 50 major issues. Down from over 2,000 when I started 2 years ago.

    So much PrintNightmare and EternalBlue, good god. Also password policies. Long complicated passwords on service accounts go so far. Force people to change their 17 year old service account password.

    #infosec #watercooler

  19. I (and several dozen other people) just got a support ticket where somebody wrote their username and password into the ticket. Like what.

  20. In a meeting and the speaker put up a slide and told us to run it through Copilot to figure out what he meant by it. Literally what's the point.
