Just got a sales spam email from Pure Storage. Apparently they think I work for E*Trade (I work for a company called E-Ring). Swing and a miss.

Is it a healthy MSP relationship for the client wanting to kill the MSP, for silo'ing information / refusing to provide information?
I mean, I don't think it's healthy, but I just want confirmation. Cause.... people might literally be murdered today.
May not be healthy, but it sounds about right.

thwr - that's some scary shit! I'm glad it turned out OK - and that it sounds almost like a daily occurrence - glad it turns out OK more often than not.
One might think so but actually we are so used to "blocked roads / public transport routes due to a bomb" that no one really cares. The only real problem is that no one of the former allied forces actually knows how many bombs they dropped on us. Like SAM mentioned before we are still finding some potentially deadly "leftovers" more than 70 years after the end of WW2.
BTW: That's why you need to have your piece of land inspected when you want to build a house here in Hamburg - there could be a bomb beneath.
How would knowing how many were dropped be helpful? You don't know how many didn't explode. I suppose if you did know, then once you reached that number you could stop checking - but, yeah that would never happen.
Well, say it was a known fact that 50,000 bombs were dropped. The bombs had a failure rate of x%, then you can figure out approximately how many are still playing hide and boom.
But this is not a real number. Say it was 5%, would you really expect that after you find 2500 bombs that's it? you just stop worrying about it?
I would hope not - because who knows it might have really been 5.1% or 10%.
JB beat me to it - I think we (JB and I) agree that knowing this number really isn't helpful. I suppose if the reported failure rate is 5%, and you find 10,000 bombs, well after that I guess you could become less concerned, but would you really become less concerned? I don't think I would.

Sounds like a reason to fire them, UNLESS, they are IT.

Well you can't break up. You've got CD's in her car

I feel like I'm stuck in a sunk cost fallacy issue with these guys... can't stand em, yet can't leave because of the aforementioned cd's left in her car....

You're not the one stuck, management is. You're just left holding the purse.

Almost there. Upgrades have just arrived at the new tower.

Does anyone know of a good 3D printing service that allows .STL files?
The total ended up being over $75 for a plastic Gameboy case. Is this normal?

My laptop keeps buffering. It must be the Chinese backdooring into my computer.

Are you in the US? Check with your local library system. Mine (Denver, CO) has free 3D printing and courses on design. If you are unable to get this done at a reasonable price, I don't mind dropping the STL at the library here for you, though it would take a couple weeks for them to print and then I'd have to ship it out (I'm sure you can cover a USPS flatrate box).

@Grey Already checked. Nothing like that anywhere close enough. Appreciate the offer. I have an offer on here from someone so we'll see if the person is willing to do it. I'll let you know

You are just a few hours away from Lexington... But I expect you are both in the grove to get home.
