So basically Felicette was pissed and murdered the entire French space program staff, shredded the records, and used the tech for a litterbox.

Easy! put some astroturf (pun intended) in the airlock. Dog does is stuff, comes in. Then proceed to space the poop.
After 15 minutes of lounging with her head on her paws in space, Félicette believed she heard the sound of a can being opened back on Earth and promptly returned.
Obviously the first cat escaped by walking through walls.
But THE.CAT.CAME.BACK.
Now playing
The real history isn’t that they were trying to study the cat, but to get rid of it.
I am just very good with excel not even an IT person. So when people in my office got issue with excel they call me. A lady in another building called me asking for help because another worker told her I am good with excel. I tried walking her through, but she doesn’t see anything I mentioned. So eventually I was…
Fair enough; I knew this user’s model didn’t have a secondary battery but yeah, I guess that’s what this caller was expecting? Or something? He ended the call still baffled that that had worked. I’d had to put on my stupidest dumb-chick voice for him too; it was the only way to get him to try taking the battery out.…
This is too true.
That’s the worst one. I wish Comcast (or whoever...I just use Comcast as that is the usual suspect for me) had an advanced phone number to call. Like, if you could somehow prove you are somewhat competent and know how to diagnose the typical problems that are due to the user you could call a different number instead…
And the programmer won’t ever know about the memory leak if they always clear the problem with a reboot.
Haha, you just reminded me of a misadventure along those lines. I needed to kill power to a laptop, and pulled the battery and AC power to do so. After doing that, the damned thing was still running, which normally wouldn’t be the case with that model of laptop. It turns out the user bought a secondary battery that…
Even then, sometimes ransomware and malware are hidden in legitimate websites that have been silently compromised. Sometimes there simply not a lot you can do short of disconnecting from the Internet altogether
At my old IT job we would get calls all the time about peoples workstations not powering on and it would usually occur in the morning, Mondays were particularly bad with the amount of these calls. At first I couldn’t figure out why we would get so many calls for it and then I saw one morning when I had to come in…
There is one major exception to this rule.... when the only reason your contacting your “IT Guy” is because they’ve limited your ability to fix your own problems. Seen this happen a lot at all my jobs - where the Systems Engineers can’t fix their own laptops, despite definitely knowing more than the help desk techs…
Seriously, part of me just wants to get an old computer, fill it with nothing but 100,000 creepy clown pictures and videos, plug in a burned out RAM card and wear a dirty, greasy hoodie as I take it in to be fixed. And then refer to the “geek” only by their first name in long, drawn out ways and keep asking personal…
Re Number 6:
I take issue with this one, we just had a ransomware infection that propagated over the LAN. Only the first person did anything wrong.
Raise your hand if you think any of the people this article applies to are reading it. Anyone?
