My experience with the Fall Update was really bad. After the lengthy update, none of the Microsoft apps worked. Clicking on the lower left corner for Startup - or whatever they call it, did nothing. I could not even restart or turn off. Clicking on any MS item, like the shortcuts I had for the calculator, MS Office and the weather app, produced an ominous message: "System call failed!". All non-Microsoft apps seemed to work.
So I started trusty ole Macrium Reflect and restored an earlier image to get rid of the Fall Update. That restored functionality to what it was before the update. Fall Update? All I can say is: "Yuck!"
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

The Fall Update performed well over the expectations: It updated, it fell. 100% success rate.

I started the install on my home computer last night, I rebooted it before leaving this morning.
I've not look at what worked or not yet. I only game and sometimes lightroom on my home PC, it's not a big deal breaker if I need to wait for some updates to fix things up.
I will not touch my work PC for a while; and I do not have enough disk space to really install anything on it.
I'd rather be phishing!

The only real problem I've encountered so far is that no matter what settings I pick, Rufus won't make a bootable USB stick out of the ISO - I've had 3 systems simply show a blinking cursor when trying to boot off of it (all systems I know can successfully boot off of other USB sticks I've created in the past). I can, however, start the setup.exe from that same USB stick and get the upgrade process started through that.
I've successfully burned a bootable DVD (and then did a full install) from the same ISO.
I haven't yet tried to use MS's own media creation tool.

So you try to be a nice developer, try to be as transparent on your tasks as possible and hand guest access to your YouTrack... They can only view and check back what's happening.
Then there is this one guy, Project Manager of course, that is totally misunderstanding the purpose of your kindnes.
So now he want's access to the System, wants to be able to write Tickets, edit them and check who else writes tickets... Why??? you think and deny the request...
The next day you get a mail: Request from XXX :"Why can't i see this?"
You ask kindly what he wants to state with that.
You can guess the reply...
"That's why i need that system, if i send a request i want to be able to edit it and check it back"
R.I.P. to my Software plannings...

misunderstood PM role: it's the PM's right to use any metrics available, you've shown him something that measures project performance and then [wrongly] denied him access to it.
misunderstood your role: you've made more work for dev team, if you're the TL you've let down your whole team by this, if you're not the TL even worse: you've overstepped your bounds and possibly put your entire deliverable at risk.
Probably get away with it, unless your PM is the strict by the book (humourless) type.

Fun fact: i am PM and TL of my team since we are only 3 people in SW development. The PM i am talking of is just one of the users of the software we develop.

So I've started a new job, where part of it is being in charge of Health and SafetyI have to watch various DVDs and select the most informative to be used as part of our training schedule. The manual handling[^] one is presented by Diane Youdale - best known as Jet from Gladiators[^].
F*** knows if the information is any good as Ive spent the whole time imagining what I'd like her to manually handle. oh and I don't even need to watch the rest, but I might watch this one again just to make sure.

Not to be confused with the Manuel Handling one I watched by accident once...

£90?!! I think Jet's a psychologist now (psychiatrist? I never remember the difference, I know one has a medical degree, the other used to hit people with giant cotton buds while wearing spandex).
For last job I did that needed a manual handling assessment I don't know if HR had a sense of humour or if I just have a dirty mind but the Word document we had to complete and return was man_hand_ass.doc.

God save us all... I thought this post was a joke. Surely it had to be about manually handling something, but sure as elephant not an actual manual. We're doomed.
