Oh, we are sharing workplace cable management, ok, here's a place I used to work at:

[–] acchariya@lemmy.world 1 points 52 minutes ago

Wow it's the data center equivalent of developing country wiring.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

It's called security. Hackers can't tap into our data if they can't find the data cable!

[–] radiofreebc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The Jackson Pollock patch bay.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Sir, words have meaning. This does not fit the definition of management

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 34 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Here was my nightmare on the day some equipment died and we had to patch around it manually

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 7 points 3 hours ago

Sounds like an origin story.

[–] RedditAdminsSuckIt@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

I’m not IT in any capacity than my own shit at home. Tackling this looks impossible.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 39 minutes ago

Just takes time, patience, and enough money to not care.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

You just need a machete and a strong wrist.

Not impossible. Just extremely tedious and time consuming.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 16 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Not cable management but I used to provide PCs for nonprofits at no charge and took hardware donations to keep it going. I received this donation, and it it was fully functional before I stripped it for parts:

[–] toddestan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Smoker? I've seen some truly disgusting computers that came from houses where people smoked. Even when they still worked usually the best thing was to just strip them for parts because you'll never get rid of the smell.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Fairly normal for any system in my area that isn't serviced regularly every 2 to 3 years.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

A lot of that is rust too. There were even rusted bits on the mobo.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 1 points 38 minutes ago

Ah, didn't see the rust. That doesn't happen here. We are dry as a bone.

[–] akwd169@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

Yeah I was gunna say the least of the visible issues is the dust... that thing looks like its been on a transatlantic boat ride through a sulphuric acid rainstorm

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 3 points 3 hours ago

Holey rust.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 9 hours ago

That is some colorful spaghetti.

[–] ieGod@lemmy.zip 35 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Why are you using windows for what looks like important infrastructure work? 😬

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Because bossman says use this machine which has windows installed.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 hours ago

It's the normal process. Very rarely do I go into a site and not be requested to have windows available.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 41 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

May not be his/her choice.

How do you know when someone hates Windows? They'll tell you, myself included.

[–] wholookshere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 hours ago

'Them' is also a valid pronoun when you don't know or are unsure if gender!

Nice cable management there. You're better than Windows.

[–] rangber@lemmy.zip 68 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The laptop is updating on company's time . Drink some tea, blame Microsoft and call it a day.

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 13 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Yea but standing around in a server room sucks

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Always carry a properly loaded emulator on your phone... Times like these call for it's good use.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Not if it's properly cooled and it's summer time.

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 minutes ago

I hear you, but I'd still rather be free from there. Many years waiting for boot without chapstick. Hated it.
