I think I’m gonna go postal today.
Been dealing with a project manager the last few weeks. All their comms need feeding through a business bullshit reverse translator.
Engagement, progression, connect with, facilitate, yadda yadda yadda. Every time I email back and address their points, while asking the question “what do you want me to actually do” and I never get an answer. Then a few days later a new email thread basically saying the same thing in a different way.
Sorry buddy, if you want time from my team, you have to actually tell me what the request is. We’re not part of your project team, we are massively overloaded with work as it is, and I can’t help you “facilitate” jack s**t without knowing what you actually want so I can prioritise it against our other work.
Got another one yesterday and I think today is “I’m not playing this game any more, kindly f**k off” day

Nobody does specification documents anymore I don’t know if it’s this new age agile bullshit but it just makes everything so much harder.
Ask for a spec and all I ever get back is a short email or “let’s have a meeting”.

Ask for clear requirements in bullet point format.
When they ignore that and continue with more waffle f**k the useless c**t off.

I did worse.
Asked him to book a call with me so that we could discuss how to better align our perception gaps on team responsibilities.
Which I believe is LinkedIn for “come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough”.
The best part about working in IT today is that I was in an ice cold server room all morning

I haven't watched it all yet, but from the bit I did see it's going to implement it in many areas like on the desktop, in applications including games. So let's say you get the new fallout, because it's MS owned it would have the ads regardless if you played on Steam or anywhere else.
I don't suppose anyone has a windows 7 64-bit image stashed anywhere do they?
All the links I can find are dead.
Scratch that, should've checked p*****bay first.

My company is needing us to install MAM software on our phones if we use teams or Outlook.
I'm very weary and don't have access to or want a work phone because hassle.
Shall I just sack teams off altogether on my phone or am I worrying about nothing?
They have listed a load of things they won't be able to see or do like wipe phone etc.

For what it's worth we don't need teams or are required to have it, it's an optional extra for us and it's really handy to have it, so that part is my choice

I am getting so fed up with the downsides of AI at work.
Our core product was written in-house, no LLM has any real knowledge of it. We now have developers, infrastructure people and even customers generating static based on what Claude is getting confidently wrong.
On the one hand AI is great and is saving me a ton of time, but that’s also because I know what I’m doing and can spot when it talks s**t. Being told I’m wrong by some nerk who’s done nothing but get Claude to interpret some log files is getting really old, really quickly.

One of the consultants at our erp support provider was just whacking any of our tickets through AI and replying back with a literal copy paste 
He's now gone, I'm not really sure what he aimed to achieve, he didn't even try to hide it - and just resulted in us reviewing the support contract.
I've disabled it in our BI tools & the company pushed to put people on AI courses, thinking it would displace me.
They soon realised that that only really works with good data control & as we don't sanitise any data input, it's not of much benefit if you want clean, concise reporting.

Can do it through device management in mdm. And have teams etc through the company portal (segregates business).

I'm going to refer to this guy as Skiles from now on, purely because Copilot.
Had a Teams message waiting for me this morning. Apparently, he needs to sit down with me because he can't get certain elements from the legacy reports against the old ERP that he can from the current one. He's built things around the current data structure, too.
Seems AI is having a bit of a hard time working with two datasets from different ERPs, complete with repeated primary keys, unmapped changes between the two, and user input that doesn't actually tell it what to do with any of it.
Well, I certainly didn't see that coming.

Got a notification from our SOC today about possible command and control activity.
Checked the logs and it was falcon talking back to crowdstrike's own servers.
not sure if this was a bit much of a response to them

What amazes me also, is that 'modern' cyber professionals (who have literally no infrastructure understanding (which blows my mind how that can even be a thing... but meh) will genuinely not understand what and why, regarding your email.
I've had people block DNS, not understanding how hierarchical DNS architectures should operate. No understanding of decryption and saying "we see the HTTPs traffic on the firewall - so we can block stuff" and no concept of an API, micro segmentation etc. Yet want £80k+ just coz Cyberz.
More so... some of those who are appointing and building cyber teams - they are that desperate, they take anyone. They don't even know what to ask for, out of candidates.
I worked at a firm, whose Cyber team literally just skirted around the edges of everything - never going deep and questioning. They were just a team who recorded whether owners had patched servers and s**t. Proper gash.
Bit of rant there.
Dunno where it comes from, sometimes
Sexual frustration of being a nerd maybe

Oops
. Surprised if the sensor generated an alert for its own traffic though, or is this another tool the soc is using to monitor that sort of activity?
