Be careful what you say or do in response to these calls. They take any sign of interest as a sign to put you on lists of leads that they then sell to vendors as qualified leads. Even staying on the phone longer than a certain time is taken as "interest".

That sucks dude - sorry you had to go through that.

Nice job!

Sometimes missing your dream job can be a blessing in disguise. I came in second for what I thought was my dream job, but today I'm glad I didn't get it.

Yeah old houses and electricity can be scary:

I'd say any port in a storm at this point. And at least it's a familiar port

I'll have to give the recipe a shot

I'm sure their price point was designed to limit it only to people who really really wanted to try it out, and would provide feedback. They only want to make so many of the prototypes, and they don't want to hand them out like candy to people who'll try them once and throw it in a drawer. The cost of parts and development is irrelevant, especially to Google.

So SAM - what's the generic title for a jack-of-all-trades IT person then?

Who does Systems and Network Administration for a majority of their time.

Yeah, or who just does everything IT - the lone IT person at an SMB.

The old title that seemed to be standard around 2000 when the market was booming was "LAN Admin" - the person who managed all the devices on the LAN but generally ran only a single office. It's a generalist title. I never liked it, but it was standard and never overlapped with any enterprise titles.

I prefer something like IT Admin, IT Generalist, SMB IT Generalist. Admin and Generalist are really the core "type" components that seem to need to be in the name. Nothing that singles out servers, networks or other non-majority job component should exist unless doing that job as the majority.

I could go for IT Admin for @hobbit666. It recognizes that his tasks have administration elements to them, but are general to IT.

Yeah I'll go along with that too. IT admin as the most general title that isn't just helpdesk monkey.

Yeah we should work well for that. You can manage everything from the web based console and kick off scans, issue remote commands, etc.

Worth a shot Link

There are always ways around this. I used to work for a company that bought old iPhones to resell them. It is just about finding the right work arounds for the given OS.

If that even works, doesn't that get rid of the whole point of iCloud and Find My iPhone?

The question to present to any new person has to be a vulgar response.

Much like the standard pickup line I use "Nice shoes, wanna [f***]?"

Did...did you just refrain from using the f-word?

From the completely obvious department

To debunk the frog story a bit, in the experiment where they sat in the slowly boiling water, they were decorticated first. So the only frog that stays in water that boils is one with brain damage
