    I got laid off right as I was having surgery last year, so I went to a few job interviews in a panic, on painkillers. At one point they were like “What do you think about XYZ” and whatever the acronym was, I had never even heard it. So I just looked around and said, “Acronyms, eh?” and laughed. And everyone else laughed, except one guy who realized I was bluffing, and that got super awkward real quick. But for a second, we all really connected over how fucking stupid it was. (MSP job for which I am grateful not to have)




  • How many of these folks have a rack mounted somewhere in there… once you get into this degree of tech, you’re looking at folks with PoE systems on battery backup, maybe 5G backup circuits in case the internet is cut. It’s really not a crazy level of security, if you live in a high crime downtown area for instance. But I also don’t go around whipping my rack out in every conversation, and my house is old, so lots of folks don’t know how high tech the house really is. And wouldn’t until they saw the doorbell still glowing, Wifi still on during a power outage I suppose (Wifi is how we really see each other during power outages, and the sound of gennies for those rich bastards that can afford them)
