More like a love and hate relationship. I normally turn off my work computer and turn on my gaming one. Most of my time I am using one. Or a pocket computer some call it smartphone.

I have nothing against computers, as long as people aren't allowed to touch them

I saw a "update" button pop up on my screen. The IT guy ran over, shouted "WTF I turned that off! Fucking bullshit!" And he stormed off.

I think about that a lot.

I too have configured a wsus server, that was about the experience I had.

Well, they may distrust or dislike them, but I reckon the hate goes towards printers - especially label printers

[–] Baggie@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago

Oh that's the burning vitriol for all things of the infernal depths yes

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Even worse: network based label printers. Fuck them.

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, sure. I don't think I've ever directly attached them...

And why do the labs need a custom label size and layout, always?! I'm sure they're just trying to be difficult
