Oh god, Net Send.

At one point it was my job to track down and upgrade old PCs that had been moved by users. To my delight, I found that Net Send was enabled on all the org’s devices. I had the bright idea to use it to pop up a message on the affected PCs asking them to call me and provide a location. I copied a script from an old website and modified it to work with a list of hostnames. It, uh, worked - but while I was testing my script I ran it without commenting out the line that sent the message to all devices on the subdomain.

If you want to install new hardware, like swapping in a new video card, you’ll definitely need some assistance.

The thing all those patients have in common is that they are dead.

Anyone with cold symptoms will be propelled away from you at speeds high enough to fracture human bones. Carefully consider how you’ll use this power.

Remember when Bill Gates said that open source software was fascist?

You’ve discovered enshittification. Bad luck.

Outnumber a fascist ten to one and he tends to remember his manners.

Same reason that dude installed Doom on a pregnancy test!

I’ve had some bad luck recently, but things seem to be looking up now. I try to look on the bright side - this has been a timely reminder of how great my life usually is.

Because unjustified criticism is annoying and justified criticism confronts us with our flaws.
