Just got home, fairly shitty day...but this one sums it up....
customer has a problem with a printer on a Mac, trying to fix it by removing and reinstalling etc, all the usual stuff. My test print works fine to it from word, but he's trying to print an excel sheet. Not got a clue (and I still hate macs) so tell him I'm going to do some research and is that ok. He says yes....so I look into it, find a few possible solutions, ring him back "Nope, you've run out of time, I have things to do now." - well....it's obviously not that ephin important then is it.
/rant.
Mac users are the worst
takes shelter from incoming flames
Like a religion on its own....
Really glad I have no Macs on my network. Have a simple 100% no net and no support rule for them.
Lucky bastard. Our devs have to have iMacs to make our iPad app. I try not to support them, and also our devs are smart and figure most of the issues out on their own.
Why do they need to? As you may know, I'm a developer myself and you can write pretty great cross-platform apps on Windows and Linux for example. Apache Cordova or Xamarin are just two frameworks for this.
All that area is "don't ask, don't tell" for me personally. I don't give half a shit what they use, nor do I have any say in the matter. Or any technical knowledge to make such decisions, I am the most non-programmer of them all.

Our Mac users are similar but I dread their tickets. It's always some seriously fucked up bullshit.

Hehe. These are the moments where it is just great to be root and lead dev at the same time
Devs can't argue with BS at all -

The extent of my Mac/ipad support is mostly "can you type the wifi password in here?" and "do you have any AA batteries for the shitty wireless mouse/kbd?"

At MangoCon, @nic used Mac Users synonymously with "less technical users.
While I sat there using my MacBook Pro.

AT&T cell network is having issues, so agents here are getting flooded with calls. Oh, and imaging the bosses laptop, etc. Fun fun.
Phones are down, so calls are coming in? Weird.
No no no. We have an Avaya phone system, so that's fine. But the company uses 3G/4G adapters for the clients that are being supported, and with AT&T's network down, those adapters aren't working, so there's been a flood of calls from the clients that are supported by our agents, about why it's not working, and it's because of AT&T's mobile network have major issues and outages across the country.

Which means I should be expecting a call shortly from a client as all of their techs are on AT&T mobile.

Making good use of a search engine / search function is a skill on its own IMHO... I know quite a few people who aren't good at it, to say the least.

I'm using EXCLUDE, EXACT and OR mostly...
Does Google finally support RegEx? Couldn't find anything about it, apart from Analytics and a few old SO posts.

Use the pipe bar for OR. You can also use Google to search websites by including "site:www.website.com search terms here", just to name a couple. I've also used a website called JimmyR.com to grab RegEx and tweak it for my own uses. It's how I found an installer I needed a few years ago buried on a file server somewhere on the internet that was for Act 2000.

This is the RegEx I am referring to. It was written to pull up indexed MP3s online so you can download free music from Google. The word test in the front is me. The rest he wrote. His name is Jimmy Ruska. Cool guy. He lives in Texas.

I also posted the RegEx that he created and I modified for my own uses to do what I did above.
