I drown in support tickets daily that used to go nowhere. Then people started realizing that I knew what I was talking about and not some standard business user. Now I still have to open tickets, but get visibility of…
I don’t think so, or maybe it was… IDK anymore. Now I’ll have to go rewatch it. It definitely is explained as described above. The gate itself, the “event horizon” is all part of the apparatus for accessing the…
The hardware my company uses has a lifecycle of 15-20 (aka what we typically look at when we consider lifecycle of a plant). This is not meant to be the whole life of a plant, but possibly the life of the current…
Even more so, if it’s just there you’re making it easy for the customer to find someone bidding less to execute new projects. Guess who they’re calling if they don’t have the plc project (or don’t understand they need…
Sounds like we have a similar development path. People fail to understand how complex some of these systems can be, especially since you have to have the project to understand what registers/variables are what. Some…
The point I was making is that PLCs have a software stack. You have to know the software and programming languages defined in IEC 61131-3. For all intents and purposes they are just very repeatable compute in an…
You’d be surprised how insecure some of these facilities are, especially to someone who has working knowledge of what a PLC (or other process controllers) does and how it works. You can easily look like a tech who…
I think it is. I work for a (relatively) small company. I naturally grew from project engineer to senior/lead/sme (including pioneering tech _for my industry_) to SA. I had also stuck with my company for many years, so…
My kids a bit young for reading HP on their own, but it’s our bedtime book series every night. Over the past year or so we’ve (I’ve) read HP before bed. We just started book the Order of the Phoenix. Our school system…
They could just switch their dns back to auto (or statically use google/cloudflare/etc depending on how you configure it), no? Then fix it when you’re back. You could also set up 2 ssids depending on your WiFi set up.…
As an OT systems architect I am totally floored. We design and plan for systems lifecycle on a ~20yr scale, with OT hardware (not the controls hardware, that’s closer to 10-20) lifecycle much shorter (~5 yr). Obvious on…
Agreed. Due to the long lifecycle of manufacturing equipment we still see a lot of 100mb out there, and it’s not even embedded. I would note that all new products seem to be gbe or better.
I actually rebound my windows keys to use this instead of default windows snippet tool. Sure, if I need a high level of editing I’ll bring it into some other program (still using flame shot to take a capture). 95% the…
I mean, I guess I get it for certain things. Silly to mandate it though. Anyone who has work requiring them to be in the office should be in the office. My in office time jumps up to 3-5 days per week when I have a new…
Yes, one by one. It’s just tedious. There’s always a solution. Often time screenshots correlate to steps. You open wordpad and start a numbered list. Write what action you perform and the screenshot. Repeat until you’re…
Yes, in the automation world living on level 2/2.5 wordpad is great for doing things like taking screenshots too. In a GMP facility it could take some significant effort to get a screenshot tool or a rich text editor…
Hah, you don’t have to tell me about validation and quality. Yes, they usually account for a significant time of anything in the pharma world.
I work in the OT/automation space for pharma. Cell and gene therapy is crazy amazing. One thing I didn’t really see mentioned here is length of treatment. They have to collect patients sample at hospital or other…
Occasionally I find myself somewhere I need to access email but have no network connection. No local cache means a big ol’ screw me
Need MS for other toolings
No more IMAP
As pointed out elsewhere. My comment wasn’t really on outlook itself. There are other things that bind me to MS ecosystem. I’m sure that’s true for a lot of people.
I’ll have to check it out, but sometimes I think I should just lean in to all the MS integrations. I do like OneNote and use the ‘Send to OneNote’ for meeting notes all the time.
It does, but the applications and environments I need to use are Windows only anyway. IT policy also doesn’t let us have anything other than Windows. I could skirt it for the day to day stuff, but I wouldn’t want to…
I don’t do more work outside of my professional work. I get away with just my phone and an iPad for everything else.
