Back from work - and today truely sucked. xD
- The laptop they initially gave me completely fell apart as soon as I hit the screen magnifier. How about 1 FPS AND screen tearing? Yeah, no. XD
- In the in-between time, I used my own private laptop, which I brought because I had a hunch this would happen, I read all their docs - NDAs and whatnot.
- Then a dude comes over and slaps a somewhat modern ThinkPad on the desk and tells me that once it's done resetting/reformatting, I should just... set it up myself.
Have you ever set up - manually, not automated - a new Win10 Pro in an Active Directory network with a present Sophos firewall? There are other factors, but basically: IT F*****G SUCKS! xD
Windows' OOBE is like, "Oh I can offer you to send all the analytics crap to Microsoft, but I can't see your domain lul". And later, when you manually sign it up, you have to enable it, by clicking a teeny tiny hyperlink in Settings > System > Info at the veeeeeeeery bottom to configure it.
And Sophos, instead of giving you proper and good error messages, will just tell you "Our servers are currently not available" and barf a random base32 string at you and just give you the "deal with it"-feeling.
And last but not least: 9 reboots for Windows update.
I am, throughly, most definitively and absofreakinglutely DONE for today xD
Fuuuuuuuuuck. X.X #rant
