Did you know that the original Unix devs were so obsessed with efficiency that they designed the "rm" command to have no confirmation prompt? Legend believes this was to save precious milliseconds, as they thought "real Unix users" would never make mistakes. Of course, this led to many accidental deletions and the birth of the infamous "rm -rf /" command, which could wipe out an entire system with a single typo.

@delric @FlohEinstein @marcus Many Mac users do upgrade their Macs, but over the years, Apple has reduced that option for HDDs, SSDs, RAM, and other parts. eBay, MacSales, Amazon, and others still sell many parts for older Macs, and I'm sure this new Mac Mini will get upgraded parts too. It is just a matter of time.

@327ppm nice 👌

@breiter yes, he did. he is an awful person that is for sure regardless of tech work.

HR person: If you're leaving us, we need at least two weeks' notice. We can't have IT support staff just disappearing WILLY-NILLY!!

Me who is sysadmin: Don't worry, you'll definitely "notice" when I'm gone.

Sysadmins always have a love-hate relationship with their users. I mean, users are the reason sysadmin has a job, and they are also a source of the greatest pain. It's a complicated relationship, for sure. No wonder "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is the official answer to many users' calls.

@dougmerritt haha.
