“please call so and so, they’re having issues with their browser”
Call the user, they are out for the day. Leave message to call back
Either never hear back or the issue was not browser related
Either way, tell the original ticket creator to have the person having the issue call us if they want prompt service
That’s how one becomes IT
We have a running leader board for uptime. Servers don’t count. That said, I’ve seen some people who think they actually are turning it off but the machine just enters sleep mode. I only trust
shutdown /r /t 0
Only reason I keep a Windows install on an SSD for my laptop: my schools remote test proctoring service only works with Windows and Mac. I normally run pop_os on it but switch to the windows when I have to take a test.
I see your point but I counter with Neil Gaiman.
As someone who just had a one shot with three couples and one guy who murderhoboed until he had to leave to take care of his pregnant wife, I find this stereotype funny as hell.

I don’t have a problem, you have a problem
Sometimes it’s less about the person that you’re targeting and more about what that access gives you.
Low level accountant? Office worker with an excel file full of passwords or has correspondence with your actual target at a different company that you can pose as to gain access into?

When I say “fucking zoomer”, I mean it in an endearing way. Promise. If a Gen z kid irritates me, I just link the sounds of dialup modems to them. Much more cathartic.
I’m remote so either I trust the user or push commands. I know which I prefer
