Just got my two new laptops. Gonna have to wait on that one.
I'm keeping my eye on it... MSI and Razer make some good laptops although they are a bit overpriced.

So much for the "give it 10 minutes and try again" from the spam filter folks. The obviously have a bigger problem than they admitted to on the phone w/ me.

Eating Ramen with cheese for breakfast

Well that's... different.

I'm taking an early lunch so I can get breakfast foods. Egg sandwich + Cheddar + Sausage.

I'm the babysitter. Four kids under eight.

Ramen is actually one of the very few things I won't put cheese on...

Are any yours?
People frown on calling yourself a babysitter in those circumstances.
Or so I have been told.

Two of them. The 5 and 7 year olds. The 6 and 8 are not mine.

A friend of mine is doing some data security training at her job today (works at a mortgage bank). From what she told me, it would have been really easy for someone in her office to send wire transfers because there were no checks and balances for the routine. After a near-miss on a phishing email (someone nearly transferred $3 mil to the bad guys), they are stepping up internal training (a win for everyone), and she said they are even training on how to spot "vishing", which is apparently phishing via voicemail. I had never heard of that one.

Interesting topic.... although lots of people not realizing that Linux has already taken over most of the enterprise backend and Windows is only used when required.

Yeah... a little too much surprise that Linux is coming. Like, um, Windows was never the top OS. Linux displaced Solaris.

That SW user has like a half dozen of those half baked "oh noez, the linix adminz will take my job!!!" posts. That's what happens when you get a millennial reading too much reddit (and believing 100% of it).

Also lots of responses thinking Tier1 helpdesk is a Windows admin.

Critical thinking should be a mandatory course taught over multiple years

I feel like the Windows world tends to be a lot more insulated within itself. Like Linux admins tend to have a better view of what other Linux admins do, whereas I feel like Windows Admins often have little idea what Windows Administration even is.
Like even traditional snowflake Linux admins or desktop Linux admins tend to understand DevOps, even if they have never done it. But Windows Admins will often not know PowerShell scripting or even what DevOps even is.

Rarely worth replacing that stuff. Instead buy a used computer.

They have/had an all in one PC that was cheaper than just a desktop PC, all depends on what you are looking for.
