  1. No expert in this but I have heard of workplace management software called C247. Think it’s some SaaS based offering used by a bunch of different companies/sectors for vetting and management of employees?
  2. It’s fairly tricky to predict the future but I suspect that there is some truth in this. I think the big impact will be on people like session musicians or guys that rely on royalties or commissions from media companies etc. Rather than paying for a bass player to stitch together the new pop sensations songs or songwriter to make the new TV series or console/computer games sound track, just use AI. I guess that there is some argument that Rap and sampling has already cut out the middle man and as you have outlined maybe AI will take this one step further. My own experience with AI so far is it’s a useful short cut but the old programming phrase of garbage in, garbage out does apply. If the person using it doesn’t have knowledge and ability then they will produce unreliable data and garbage output. Ultimately will this garbage output overtake the reliable and useful stored output and become self defeating? I guess time will tell.
  3. And 30 years later the majority of staff still can’t use the computer and phone their company issued to them properly After over 20 years in IT I haven’t seen much evidence that the average employee is putting up much of a fight to stop the robots taking over. Edit: I can’t find it now but there was an AI created short film “starring” Will Smith and The Rock . One year later it was recreated and the leap forward was astonishing. I’m not sure whether to be impressed or disturbed by the massive leap forward in such a short timeframe.
  4. I would be very interested in this as a project but don’t trust couriers to deliver and am unlikely to have time to get to London in the short to medium term. GLWTS.
  5. Tool remain one of my favourite bands. For me Justin Chancellor could be playing one note and hitting the strings with a wet fish as long as as he was still creating that sound and driving that juggernaut forward.
  6. Staying off topic on Basschat? No chance. Never happens.
  7. Sadly apart from a DDOS attack every major IT outage or incident in my career has involved email and a click happy user giving away financial data, credit card details, passwords etc despite constant training and the fact that 2 minutes of thought would have prevented an obvious spoof/phish.
  8. I suggest that you google DHCP and IP leases. At best you put a sticking plaster on the situation for a short period. At worst you may have lost a bunch of customers. Unless you are dealing with a seriously clueless scammer that lives in a single occupancy dwelling, pays for a dedicated fixed public IP and has never heard about VPN you are not likely to achieve much by IP blocking a suspect scammer. For persistent offenders (usually mass distribution of spam or malware) companies do take action but it’s a game of cat and mouse. Not sure what is wrong with WFH? My current company has over 40 sites, a datacenter and various cloud based tenancies. My previous company had contracts all over the world. I would frequently find myself in the early hours connecting to resources in New York, London or Budapest. My home office was as adequate as anywhere else (though I do wish that they would let me do the work from somewhere warm and cheap.
  9. You would need a little technical knowledge around public vs private IPs, NAT and a bunch of other technobabble to understand why this is not as simple as it sounds.
  10. I started a reply along these lines but binned it as I guessed at the fairly predictable outcome.
  11. Having worked in technology for a while now email is becoming ever more problematic for businesses. Spam, spoofing, phishing and layers of protection used by ISPs and businesses themselves to counteract the menace, such as Mimecast and numerous MS 365 protections makes delivery of email problematic and a bit of a headache for businesses. The issue may well be down to whatever technology they employ to protect themselves having settings that need to be relaxed to prevent mail getting trapped. This is a fine balance as opening the net too widely can cause chaos if the wrong mail gets through the system. Basically email is no longer a guaranteed way of getting in touch with a business. it’s also a method of communication that doesn’t engage with the younger generation, so I am not surprised that it’s not a priority and social media is preferred. Sandberg appears to be a company that makes high quality instruments and have a high regard and good reputation for customer satisfaction so maybe worth persevering with unless you are on a tight schedule?
  12. My attitude is that blaming heavy metal or computer games for the ills of society via dodgy news channels is a little disingenuous. So I thought it was a parody of this and a little amusing hence the glib comment. Think we will let this one lie now and get back to reggae.
  13. If I have offended you sorry. Im not a fan of Rupert Murdoch, News Corp or Fox news. I find their output to be a little distasteful. Others are free to form their own opinions.
  14. As I said I thought it was a parody of moral panic “news” rather than a something to be taken seriously.
  15. Nope sorry just a flippant comment. I don’t watch Fox News. I just presumed it was a parody rather than a real news story.
  16. Same here but Im just a prole that’s getting poorer.
  17. Probably because the likes of you and me don’t have 20K of surplus income sat gathering dust in a bank account or bedside cabinet knowing that it’s losing purchasing power every month it sits there. Vintage investments and crypto may just collapse in value. Cash is definitely doing so.
  18. I don’t think for a minute that they will prop up the price of vintage Fenders Every asset is in a bubble. It’s either all going to burst (starting with things like vintage instruments) or there’s going to be a tsunami of liquidity to keep it all afloat that will devalue the value of currency and pump the price of all assets. Anyhow wrong thread for this. Personally if I had the spare cash I would like a vintage Fender Precision. I would put it in my Man Cave garage next to my vintage car collection.
  19. Fans of Fox News must be Psychotic!
  20. first and last and always - sisters of mercy
