  • Not me, but I used to work a role at a company that provided IT services and hardware/support.

    We had a team that sat right behind me, basically they supported customer accounts, and they got a new team leader/manager.

    She came in on a Friday I believe and the rest of the team were out, Thursday night is party night so most people worked from home Friday.

    The next week comes in, IT puts all her equipment on her desk, she isn't there. The next day or so comes around and she isn't there but her team is and someone else strolls over to chat. He mentions he heard they got a new lady boss, where is she?

    I say she was in last week, I saw her.

    "Is she a looker?"

    ... this bloody place. Asks nothing about her other than her looks.

    Later that week IT comes along and collects her equipment, she had left in under a week. I have no idea what happened but that was the quickest I have seen someone leave and on average we had a very short staff turnover time.

  • When it comes to Elon and Trump, what I assume is:

    Whenever they say they are going to do something bad, it is the truth.

    Whenever they say they are going to do something good, it is a lie.

  • My old boss called me, said please come to my office... my laptop will not turn on and I cannot figure it out.

    I get there, he tells me to please help him, he is probably being stupid.

    I look at his laptop, I see his charger plugged in, I follow it down the desk, across the floor all the way to the wall socket where the plug lies...

    He had walked the charger's plug to the wall socket and just left it on the ground.

    I plug it in, he sees me do this, laptop turns on, I leave.

  • Someone writing on that show had to have worked IT at some stage.

    A lot of things that happened in that show resonated with my IT support experience.

  • I saw some clips on YT where they removed the laugh track.

    It's really hard to find the show funny when they take out the bit where it tells you when to laugh.

  • Back when we used to head over to someone's house for a LAN, there was one guy that had a massive CRT monitor and if he degaussed while our monitors were close to his they'd all degauss.

    None of ours were able to trigger other monitors, only his.

  • That's where it broke down.

  • I've always found him to be creepy, just got that feeling from him.

    I cringe every time I see him.

  • How I heard it a while back was:

    Canada is the nice apartment above a meth lab.

  • I keep seeing this crap on an information board on one of my walking routes in my town.

    They stick it on, and I rip it off every time I see it.

    Then there was the guy that had multiple banners going on about the flat earth on the high street.

    Makes me wonder if it's the same person.

  • I'm at 200+ applications and only a few rejections, nothing else.

    The job market is cooked.

  • I don't blame you, thought the same and already seen a few today.

  • Aren't one of the images flipped?

    This way around?

  • I have a lot of domains on my lists, I imported quite a few. So to be fair I may be the one causing the issues.

    I may just disable the ones I imported for a while and see if anything changes.

    Looking at the screenshots, it looks like you can manage some lists and apply block and allows.

    But yes, what is the difference? He literally says NextDNS is basically a Saas Pi-Hole.

    Sounds like this is just an advert for NextDNS. Who keeps breaking their Pi-Hole and how?

    EDIT

    Looks like Pi-Hole just got an update, the UI looks a bit different.

    I've disabled all my adlists but the default one, gone from 600k+ domains down to 125k. I'll see if it improves things.

    I've got a friend coming over who complains about my connection, she uses Apple products where I have Windows and my phone is Android and it seems to cause her problems. She is also constantly on Facebook, Instagram and a few other platforms that rely on spying on you. So she is a great test as well.
