  • Same in DK, and my comment was meant to underline that. If you see a drone and no operator is around, then something is definitely wrong.

    I mean, years ago, I had a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ drift away, on account of my own inexperience and stupidity. This was right when it had just come out, and way before drone licenses and laws forbidding drone flights in populated areas. So no laws were broken; and it was done with no malicious intent… But these days?

    Not even the DK police, who have some very well-trained drone operators, can fly their drones out of sight.

    Seeing a drone with no operator once? Something might have gone wrong, let’s not judge too harshly, but seeing a drone with no operator regularly? On your property? If you have a hunting permit, a shotgun, and a clear shot, then it might be a good time to practice your anti air skills.





  • That’s with the mindset that I wouldn’t want to stay long at a job like that

    Oh I concur, but elsewhere OP mentioned that the job pays a rather unskilled (OP mentioned having an A+) 20 year old 55k USD, and OP is getting certs as well. In that case I’d seriously be working on my STFU-skills, instead of meddling in something that my boss really wants me to stop meddling in. Maybe do a bit of CMA - but not to the extent of emailing my boss to get a paper trail.

    When you’ve been in an organization for only three months, and it’s your first job in the industry, maybe just absorb what’s happening instead of trying to change stuff. Make up your own opinions, sure, but keep them to yourself. Maybe evaluate on how you perceived situations, and how they played out, and modify your views based on that.


  • Making data beautiful is what this community is about. But compromising readability for a color scheme is just annoying. Present data first, worry about it being extra pretty second.

    We’re already looking at time being encoded differently than the usual horizontal axis, don’t make it harder.

    On the other hand, if the purpose of the graph isn’t to present individual data points, but to present the monthly trends, then maybe it would have been OK, if the last 3 decades could have started over with a higher luminance set of colors. IDK but I think I would have used colors with more contrast and dropped the warm earthy theme.

    It’s your first IT job and you’ve been there for a few months? While your safety concerns definitely can be relevant my advice is this

    You should

    1. Don’t rock the boat as a new hire. Figure out what is going on first. Maybe there’s a reason to some of the madness you see.
    2. Do NOT contact the owners. Doing so will likely be seen as disloyalty by your boss and possibly the owners as well. Only go through your immediate superior.
    3. Don’t bring it up again with your boss. It’s not your responsibility.
    4. Leverage the user. Let the user be the one to push for a system switch.

    You could

    1. Figure out if you can get the system on a separate VLAN and get it locked down in firewall rules.
    2. Research the system. Why don’t your boss want it replaced? Does it run some ancient software? We’ve got some machinery that is running windows 7 at work. When I got hired, in the days if windows 8, the controller was running windows XP. The setting up of drivers and archaic proprietary software, involved in upgrading, is immense. When we switched to 7 this €60k equipment was down for days, and it was a week before it operated properly.
