I totally agree that adopting is a big responsibility. Still, personalities don’t always fully come out in the shelter. We adopted a 15 year old to give him a golden basket. We were told he’s calm while withdrawn, while still at ease around other cats. What we got was a 15 year old acting like 2 year old. Absolutely races through the house and wants to play a lot with the other cats to the point they get annoyed, and is constantly and aggressively trying to steal from our plates. Frequently gets the zoomies at four in the morning which can result in facelicking. Still love him ofcourse, but I can imagine it’s harder to deal with if you’re in your 70’s and expected a cat that at least doesn’t try to use your legs as tree trunks on the way to food. Trying to find a family that matches the kitty’s personality doesn’t mean you’re a bad person imo. Throwing them on the street is evil of course.

That sounds like GitHub Copilot though.

They are desperate. I literally had a sales person reach out to ask how she could help us use copilot more because they can see literally nobody is using it despite a limited amount of usage is included in our M365 business standard licences. This after me already making a ticket to stop the behaviour of the home page automatically loading the copilot page instead of the classic home page with the overview I want to land on.

Honestly if anything he should focus on creating a solution where he can have DKIM active. He has dmarc and SPF, but not DKIM.

I’ve read through the post and the comments again, and it’s also that he doesn’t seem to want to train his users. They’re familiar with Gmail so he wants them to be able to use it. His users probably use their mailbox as an archive, and he doesn’t want to train them into understanding this is a bad idea, and he doesn’t want the hassle of dealing with ever increasing mail storage. At my previous job, we had Exchange Online, so 50 GB of storage. I was still explaining to my users, they should store their handled mails in archives if they wanted to be sure they would always have them. (Obviously stored on parts of their hard drives set up to synch to the fileserver which had daily backups)

All of these things are normal parts of an admin’s responsibilities. The only reason he’s getting away with his setup is because he owns the business and there’s been nobody there for the past 20 years to explain this would lead to problems down the line. (Or if there have been, he’s conveniently ignoring that)

Now they’re here, he’s blaming Google for what is probably the least evil thing they’ve done this year.

I admit I know nothing about him apart from the linked wiki page elsewhere. But nothing I read there seems to indicate he can be a good admin.

What you state he wants to achieve is what ignorant managers sometimes say they want without understanding how silly it is. I was in IT twenty years ago already, while still being green and unbearded, and even then this would have been an extremely bad and dumb idea.

You forgot to add that he obviously refuses to hire an actual IT admin to do IT admin stuff.

Being good in one thing doesn’t make you good in something else. He is an inexcusably bad IT admin. The devs I work with don’t ask for my opinion on code and if they would, it would probably sound nice to someone who doesn’t know shit, but it’d still be a dumb opinion. Likewise I don’t ask for their opinion on how to create our IT infrastructure (beyond of course asking their requirements for testing servers and such). If they have an opinion on it, it’s generally not very coherent or founded in reality. Like the complaints of this guy. Though they’re generally not this dumb.

What a damn moron to both have this setup and the audacity to complain that it will stop ‘working’.

But is that problem caused by Google or by the objectively worse service that won’t allow you to change your address?

I will steal it for work without giving credit! Thanks!

I also think the Shell card supports most of them. If anything it’s probably best to look into ABRP since they’re great to help you plan trips that align with all your needs.

If you have a company car with fuel card it was a shit show. I definitely couldn’t fuel up everywhere.

At least now I only have to go out of my way to charge when I’m on holiday.

This only applies to fast chargers built after a specific date because they wouldn’t or couldn’t force companies to add it retroactively. Though I suspect most did so anyways, especially those near touristy roads like the péage network.

About your additional rant. Not saying your experience isn’t real, yet when I travel through France from Belgium basically all fastchargers I’ve used accept my eflux card(Total, Shell, Fastened and another I forgot the name of). A total one had some sort of network malfunction once and I switched to credit card.

The slow chargers are more hot or miss though. But credit card again seems to work at those I’ve used at least.

I agree it’s annoying you can never be a 100% sure and that you basically have to use apps like ABRP for longer routes if you want to make sure your card will work.

No. There’s different types of tools for different types of cheese. Don’t get one if you only need it once. But a good slicer is as cheap as a decent short kitchen knife (€10).

Cutting the type of cheese you use a slicer on, with a knife, compresses the cheese more. Young cheese is solid, but too fatty and soft to really easily slice through. You can ofcourse, but the quality of your slice will not be similar to the easily and reproducible quality you get with a slicer. Especially if you need many slices.

Countries where you have to drive as much to the right as possible also have laws stating it’s illegal to overtake on the right. Overtaking on the right has the same fine as jogging the middle lane if there’s space on the right.

I guess this mostly indicates to always check the actual road laws of the regions you’re driving in. But generally in Europe hogging the middle lane indicates you’re a danger on the road who should not be allowed to drive a car.

It will be (and already is) much, much worse than just an embarrassment.

How can you know you’re not interested without having a conversation? Try shifting your focus to having a pleasant conversation, even if that leads to nothing. Not that that is easy all the time but if you’re chatting on a dating app or something it should be doable since it’s not exactly real time. If it’s in real life just own up to it by saying you’re nervous.
