It's been a while. I've beeb insanely busy at work. Thanks for the
most massive PC extinction event ever, MS. The end of Win10 has
required me and my team to upgrade or trash dozens of PCs. Most if
them are "Dude, you're gettin' a" 7050s. A few of them run Win11 just
fine. Then D got a dick up their ass and put a soft lock and stopped
people from upgrading. Why? Provably money.
Win11 on Ntune has been a pain in the ass. Can't enroll Home editions,
which is still a shitty distinction made to lock users out of certain
features. Anyway, it nuked our network trying to update them all over
the building.
The only good things is temp admin, but that's not an Ntune thing
itself. Setting up Buntu is still easy as the overlords don't deem it
necessary to use Ntune with it.
Got my ident stolen, so I'm deaing with that, too. Really annoying.
He's lucky I don't know exactly where he lives.
Needless compexity is major issue with our management method. While
it ensures I will remain employed there due to demand, I stil like
low-tech solutions like an HDMI switch instead of a DMPS. We have a
new room setup that uses a directional mic as a roof tile. It's so
dumb. And we have multiple mics in some rooms and at least 3 input
sources in each presentation room. One is the room PC. IMO it should
be the only one. We have styluses that "walk off" that I said were a
bad idea and would just let scumbags steal them. I was right. I've
said we needed kiosk-level protection for these common PCs and was
basically brushed off. The people in charge want fancy curved 40-inch
monitors instead of effectively protecting the PCs and peripherals
from thieves.
I still like my job, but it has been really stressful and demanding
the past few months. Also my FB team sucks. I hope you are doing
better. Also I typed this on my Pinephone with PMOS + Sway.
