Hmm far fewer comments on Lemmy this morning lol. Poor IT folks… I’m sorry.
It sucks so bad. Today I learned a lot of users don’t know the difference between forward slash and backslash.
I coded for 15 years and I still don’t.
Forward Slash… / …leans forward.
Back Slash… \ …leans back.
Or is it
Back Slash… / …because the bottom is back.
Forward Slash… \ …because it’s forward at the bottom.
/s
I had it backwards for a really long time because you draw / from front to back (ie you write it in a backwards direction) I thought that was the back slash. That still feels right to me despite being wrong.
I always remember the difference by imagining them as lines on a graph. Forward slash is the line with positive slope and backslash is the one with negative slope.
lol ouch. I luckily never updated my laptop so I dodged the bulk of it lol.
I work nights, we were the first people in the company to experience the outage lol we left IT a “sorry for the chaos” note
Hahaha.
"Tally-ho chaps. Sincerest apologies for the chaos. Chin up.
rockSlayer"
Bet you slept like a log.
Sure did lol and it gave me a reason to have a long weekend
So is this what was making my teams show me as away? I kept trying to make it green and shit but it wouldn’t change.
Happy I’m not in IT anymore.
One of my first major outages was caused by the iloveyou.vbs virus that emailed itself to your contact list. It brought our exchange server to its knees in minutes and took quite a while to clean up.
Nobody really understood at the time that attachments could be dangerous.
I’m in IT :(
Sorry man, good luck 😅
Still waiting for “updates good” crowd to weight in.
It was a 3rd party update and you absolutely should keep your systems updated.
There you go 🙂
Apart from security updates, why?
This was a security update. That’s what Crowdstrike is, intrusion detection, antivirus, etc.
