Office Space is in my Top 10 films of all time. Mostly because I live through āPC load letterā actually happening routinely.

I have never seen this film. But it is on Disney Plus, so I shall.
In printer news. What started with a dry Magenta cartridge has somehow turned into a broken yellow cartridge, via a stage where the printer didnāt recognise either itās own print head, or any of the cartridges?
New printer time.
Iām close to pulling that trigger Iāll be honest, but Iād rather avoid printer shopping for a bit longer if I can avoid it. Iāve decided to give it one more chance, and see if new cartridges sort it out. The annoying this is that the last print quality report before it decided that the yellow was broken had finally chucked a little bit of Magenta out at last.
I hear that scientists reckon weāre less than a decade away from a fully functioning printer!

Massively GMG: HQAC staff attaching a 650 kb file to an email sent to every Sqn-based email account.
Hey, everyone, a reminder for you - thatās precisely what Sharepoint is for 
When files are attached, it means that every email account then contains a copy of that file (and the memory wonāt be freed up, especially in the short term, even if you delete the email).
1000 units * 5 email addresses * 650 kb = 3.5 Gb of totally inappropriate memory usage (and infrastructure level storage isnāt actually particularly cheap)

Mother in law popped in for a suprise visit on Saturday. Now she just had a positive covid test. Yey for self isolation for us all. Three kids, and a wife who is miserable about it taking her last week of maternity leave. Itās going to be a long 10 days, and a highly inefficient time at work.
Off the Xmas card list?
Yup. Though Iād never have her on it if it was up to me. She apparently was really lax about the kids wearing masks in her lessons for the last few weeks, but didnāt tell us this before now.
Grass her up 
Not to mention the carbon cost!
Servers arent carbon neutralā¦ all that data has a carbon costā¦
ASTRA and all thatā¦ youād think they would try.
There is a chronic lack of IT training in this organisation - hard to blame people really.

In fairnessā¦ said HQAC staff is a volunteer (who Iām sure will see this) and has absolutely no reason to know any of whatās just been said
And will people really click through to a onedrive/SP link? Personally, unless itās important/something I want to know about, Iād only bother to open a file if itās convenient (attached). Iām usually checking emails on my phone and donāt want to log into O365.
yeh, it was a rant at it happening in general, rather than at the person
plenty of organisations have now banned attaching files to emails that only have internal recipients
