Reminder: check your old phone graveyard!

I’ve worked in mobile-related IT on & off for nearly 20 years. I keep every phone I’ve ever had. Today when rummaging thru a shelf bin looking for something the plate in the first photo ended up in my hand.

“Is that the backplate of a phone?” *rummage*

“Oh fuck”

This phone (Samsung Note 10) was replaced in 2020 and probably hasn’t been charged since I reckon. Just sat, in a dry, moderate temperature room for years. It’s impossible anything got into the charging port to cause a short given the way I store phones (protective case on backwards and upside down - covers the screen and the port). It was just a Samsung doing Samsung things!

I have so many phones, as do probably all of you. Time for a quick check, friendos.

It finally happened to me, girls, boys and everyone in between! I have been visited by the spicy pillow gods and escaped unscathed - so far.

In another note, where the hell do I chuck this thing? Don’t want to put it in our bin… if the almost inextinguishable Li-ion catches fire in the equally inextinguishable plastic wheelie bin, I’m a bit, er, cooked.

If I’m gonna be the one who cleans up around here then the rest of the department should feel free to visit my whimsical emporium anytime they need a USB or Ethernet cable

Unprecedented Cycle

Our IT department restructures about once every 2 years. Will 2026 be the year we get it right?

Non billable time tracking

Accepted a 6 figure Senior L3 Engineer / Team Lead role at an MSP today. Found out they do time tracking in Autotask for non billable time down to the 5 minutes, billable is 15. I haven't tracked non billable time in 20 years. They want 40 hours on my timecard every week. How does this work for things like checking emails, context switching, mentoring a junior, multitasking, ramp up/ down time, making coffee, taking a leak, etc? He said it's not for punitive measures it's to see where the business is spending time. I already don't want to work there because of this. Is this normal?

After a certain point you start a case with “Just escalate. I know this conversation isn’t going to get anywhere.”

The most expensive inventory failure I've ever been part of

Paid a red team good money. They found a path into our environment in 4 hours through a legacy admin panel someone built during an internal hackathon two years ago. Still running. Still exposed. Default credentials. Nobody remembered it existed until the report landed on the CTO's desk.

We spent 30k on a pen test and the biggest finding was something we built ourselves and forgot about. Not a zero day. Not a sophisticated attack chain. Just inventory failure.

Anyone else done a pen test and found your own ghosts? What was the dumbest entry point you've seen?
