  • Can you change the report for this one customer who has a nonstandard completely fucking stupid set up that none of your collection points account for and goes against the entire point of this report?

    Well, maybe not those exact words. It’s more like:

    • rep: customers XYZ doesn’t like what they see on the report
    • me: well tell them to clean up their shit and stop leaving orphaned systems in their environment
    • rep: well can’t you just exclude the orphaned ones
    • me: the point of the report is to help you clean up your environment. If they did that it would show improvement week over week until it got to the levels they want to see.
    • rep: they don’t want to do that, they just want them excluded from the report
    • me: no

    All extremely valid points. Especially…

    1. your mindset needs to change: you‘re now a guy responsible for implementing rdp correctly, embrace open source and make it work for everyone. See the amount of influence you can actually have.

    This is the mind set I need. I was most likely so frustrated at the driver issues by this point, I probably didn’t give it the go it needed. Like I said when it came to compiling a dev branch, I just said f it. Hopefully I’ll get some time in the coming days to approach it with a fresh mindset.

    It certainly made me think back to my early days of fighting IRQ conflicts in Windows ME. Or trying to get a LAN party going with mixtures of 98, 98 SE, and ME. And getting excited about the troubleshooting. I guess all these years later I’ve just gotten salty.
