What is your machine naming scheme?
  • For work, two letters for the type of machine, two numbers for the location, three letters for the department, and two numbers for the device.

    LT01MKT27 = laptop at HQ, in marketing, 27 is the unique ID
    SV05EXC03 = server at remote office #5, running exchange, 03 is the unique ID

    At home, goofy on-the-fly names!

  • Monks' Blend dark roast coffee from Bukidnon, Philippines
  • Off-topic, but how do you like that desktop mini-computer thing? What do you use it for? I was looking at one of those online but I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it - but coffee timer seems like a good idea!

  • How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you?
  • Been full-time WFH since before COVID hit, worked remote at that job for three more years, left, and now have a new job where I’m 100% remote as well. It helps that I work in IT, and the company HQ is 2000 miles away, but I would have a difficult time entertaining the idea of going back to the office.

    Like others have said too, my OLD company has so many people working remote now, that they are selling off their beautiful campus and looking for a smaller property to house the 10% of users still left working on-site.

  • The rich pressuring the poor to donate money
  • I think that’s what CVS got busted doing:

    https://www.fastcompany.com/90820744/cvs-asks-for-donations-at-checkout-but-are-customers-being-guilted-into-paying-the-pharmacys-debts

    “according to a lawsuit filed by a New Yorker, this money is allegedly being used to repay a $10 million commitment that the pharmacy chain has already made to the ADA, unbeknownst to customers. The suit accuses CVS of engaging in fraud and violating consumer protection laws in all 50 states. In essence, it argues, CVS is guilt-tripping customers in the checkout line to reimburse its own charitable donations.”
