That cable management looks pretty clean tho

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 89 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I got completely distracted by the solid cable management as well.

[–] rounding_error@lemmy.today 77 points 1 week ago (2 children)

They have cable management rules to prevent chaos from happening, which will if given the opportunity

That's not a server rack, that's an SCP.

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I've cleaned one of those out once. Went from 10base-T to 100base-T in the building.

Fuck I'm old

I work with an organization that has a "cableman" who goes around and yanks unapproved or unlabeled Ethernet cables from very important server racks. He has complete immunity from any consequences of pulling said cable. If the cable was important, it should have been labelled.

The laptop is updating on company's time . Drink some tea, blame Microsoft and call it a day.

Yea but standing around in a server room sucks

Oh, we are sharing workplace cable management, ok, here's a place I used to work at:

Here was my nightmare on the day some equipment died and we had to patch around it manually

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 17 points 1 week ago

Sounds like an origin story.

[–] RedditAdminsSuckIt@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I’m not IT in any capacity than my own shit at home. Tackling this looks impossible.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

You just need a machete and a strong wrist.

Not impossible. Just extremely tedious and time consuming.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago

Just takes time, patience, and enough money to not care.

Not cable management but I used to provide PCs for nonprofits at no charge and took hardware donations to keep it going. I received this donation, and it it was fully functional before I stripped it for parts:

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fairly normal for any system in my area that isn't serviced regularly every 2 to 3 years.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A lot of that is rust too. There were even rusted bits on the mobo.

It's called security. Hackers can't tap into our data if they can't find the data cable!

Sir, words have meaning. This does not fit the definition of management

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 1 week ago

That is some colorful spaghetti.

Wow it's the data center equivalent of developing country wiring.

Why are you using windows for what looks like important infrastructure work? 😬

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

May not be his/her choice.

How do you know when someone hates Windows? They'll tell you, myself included.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

For sure. The 'you' was more a corporate you. Someone made this call.

'Them' is also a valid pronoun when you don't know or are unsure if gender!

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Because bossman says use this machine which has windows installed.

Nice cable management there. You're better than Windows.

I don't like Windows, but at the point where the laptop updates automatically hasn't it been bugging you about the update for hours or even days? I generally file complaints about bad update timings in the "fucked around and found out" folder

[–] rounding_error@lemmy.today 48 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Honestly I don’t even remember, this was a long time ago, but if I recall the shitass Dell computer I was given had an SSD that repeatedly disconnected and required a forced reboot. Updates were managed automatically by the org so I don’t think I was ever prompted to update during my short time there. When I powered the shitter on Windows decided it was apparently a good time to update.

[–] Takapapatapaka@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 20 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (13 children)

I mean, shouldn't you be able to refuse updates anyway ? Like if there is something you don't like or that will break your workflow in the update, shouldn't you be able to accept the risks and keep the old version indefinitely ?

Edit : a word was missing.

[–] CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

No, not on a business owned device. The updates should give warnings, of course. Some companies don’t seem to know how to supply those warnings before mandating the install, for some reason.

The admins are not InTune with the latest technology

Not in the EU region lol

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Still, though, I prefer an OS where I can fuck around in that regard and not find out.

As everyone else has said, that’s clean as fuck.

I see ya’ll put the room numbers on the front of the patch panel instead of the cable labels. What kind of facility is this in if you don’t mind me asking? Is this a hospital?

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago

That's some decent cabling

[–] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Next job do it at a more appropriate time and you might keep the job

[–] kablez@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

If I were in the middle of something and that laptop did that to me, it would now be a two piece laptop.
