I hope you're ready.

Me: 'Hey Billy, Johnny from Accounting messaged me saying his internet isn't working. I checked our RMM and it's showing it disconnected over the weekend so maybe the cleaning crew did something to the ethernet cable. It's probably just a simple replugging of the ethernet cable. Can you go check it out?'

​

Billy just stares at me for a few seconds and says ok. Then sits at their desk for a few minutes and then goes to check on the problem.

​

They then message me on Teams 'they're not getting an IP'

​

Me: 'even after reconnecting the ethernet cable?'

​

Silence for 5 or so minutes

​

Billy: 'i checked the network settings and everything looks good'

​

Me: 'ok cool. So they're online again?'

​

Billy: 'no not yet. I'm checking firewall settings'

​

And this is with all 3 of my techs.

​

Is this a me problem?

​

I work in IT and never used it professionally.

​

I have been using it for the past 20+ years though, all self taugh or learned from youtube.

​

Nowadays I use AI to help, then create a mask to refine it .

​

Before I'd use the pen tool.

​

I ask because I helped the guy in our marketing department today with a mouse issue.

​

I saw he was using the lasso tool, with the image zoomed in like 20x, and he was pretty much selecting each individual pixel (not really but really close).

​

He said it sometimes takes him a full day for 1 image.

​

The images are nothing crazy, just food products.

​

Is taking all day for 1 cutout normal in a professional setting?

​

For instance, if everyone on reddit agreed to post a bunch of gibberish posts, and filled it with replies in gibberish for a month. Will it make a noticeable impact on LLMs?

$600 to repair their shitty HME timers now.

$700 to exchange it.

Hopefully SoLinks or Envysions's solution can replace it. I'm piloting both soon.

I currently manage some field technicians that will run cable, install POS equipment, cameras, etc. in restaurant locations.

Do I write up safety guidelines or does that fall on Operations or someone else?

I used to work for Spectrum as a cable installer, and we were taught some basic safety during training. I feel like having some sort of guide would be helpful for any new technicians that get onboarded.

My stepson is 22 year old.

He has a 1 1/2 year old. Ever since my grandson could crawl, my stepson has been yelling at him. Things like 'come here!' 'Stop!' 'Why don't you listen?!'

I keep telling him a 1 year old doesn't understand you. He doesn't know what 'stop' means, and that the yelling just makes him look like a crazy person yelling at their dog.

He got mad and said to stay out and he can raise his son however he wants.

I don't want to be 1 of those parents to oversteps their boundaries but am I right that yelling at a 1 year old is dumb af?
