You mean someone did a "reload" without a "write mem" before hand?
You wouldn't believe the number of times our network group has configured a switch, boxed it up, shipped to site and then find out it has the default config when it's installed and powered up. All because of not using "write mem". It's like they let some pseudo journalists loose on it.

Something tells me that it truly isn't.
"This can be regulated or scheduled depending on how busy the GPU is – for example, if it's rendering a video game, "
Solitaire counts as a video game? Just barely, I would guess.
I'll stick with AMD and the Linux hating Nvidia for video games.
Until Intel fixes their CPU cockup so we don't have to patch the current ones back to 2010 levels of computing power all of this is just laughable.
Most of the work I've seen people doing really shouldn't need a GUI. A dumb terminal to enter data is the most they really need.
"What f*****g genius decided to include a DNS resolver in Systemd that includes embedded IP addresses pointing to Googles DNS servers?"
Goddamn if that right there doesn't just piss me off. I run my own DNS server and I don't want systemd trying to second guess me.
Isn't the monolithicness of systemd the very thing penguinistas hate M$ for?
"We have a decommissioned IBM Blade Centre with Nortel Switch modules slapped in the back (To make it look like the comms room is more populated than it is so we can't be forced to move to a smaller room again)."
The BOFH is strong with this one.
The companies internal IM system was running on a workstation with a server OS under the app managers desk for 2 years before some figured it out. Other than no one being able to use IM if something were to happen to it, it wasn't "mission critical". Luckily enough, the guy's cube was on a circuit that was tied in to the server room's UPS/Generator.
Oh, and the system was listed as Proof Of Concept. In Prod.
They do almost everything that way.
"...the software licences are never the big line items in a business process improvement project."
I'll mention that during the next "Battle of the Budgets" and see how far that flies. They always change to the lesser cost of MS services and then plan a big project that requires resources from MS that isn't in our agreement and blame us for not being able to implement it -OR- pay through the nose to get it when they only could have paid a little bit upfront.
