Yeah, logMeIn babe, logMeIn hard!
You can Remote your D in my P anytime.
This B needs a C in her A
That still exists? 👀
I thought the same, but it actually exists. The other day a support guy had to use it in my Mac.
*LogInMe
Heh
Me, the rare linux user: “You have no power here.”
Dude - I just need you to type in the admin password so I can install software or fix whatever is wrong that you don’tunderstand. We really don’t need to spoon.
I wouldn’t actually mind if they actually vetted the software, but they just type in the password and install whatever I click on. I once changed the name of an installer for a new version of QGIS to “IT malware installation test” and they didn’t even notice.
“IT malware installation test"
rofl that is gorgeous.
My experience with IT is watching them slowly do all the things I already tried, with long pauses to check their script. And a lot of confusion when they see none of Chrome, Firefox, or Edge has ever been booted since they pushed them.
Speaking as someone on the IT side (albeit as a sysadmin, not help desk), it’s because we don’t trust you. We’ve been burned enough times by believing a user that says that of course they’ve already rebooted/run the usual command/updated recently. We want to verify that this is true. We also want to see if there are any error messages or other unexpected behaviour that you immediately dismissed and failed to mention.
Absolutely. PEBKAC is real.
But as a good user, it still annoys the hell out of me.
Agreed
NO GHOSTING!
I sure fucking hope it does feel like that. I remote into at least ten separate computers a day to fix them… 🤮
Is that a mouse in the small of my back?
Reminds me of asking operations to help me move furniture in my office: “ya wanna move something, ya gotta move it with yer mind!”
Me and Claude code 🙄
The ssh does NOT feel like that…
ssh feels more like I am in a 90’s hacker movie hacking into “the mainframe”, even if it is my own little raspberrypi.
I’m really really glad that I get root on my work computer.
This stays here; but not long ago, I needed help debugging a part of our application that only a very attractive coworker touches. It was a Teams call, and you know that whisper you do when trying to figure something out? That going straight into my headset was CRAZY.
Back when girls in Hollywood were actually beautiful. :)
