@JsonBoa congratulations on having these heroes, als well as management who actually listened to them.

I believe management (in general) actually loves technical debt. It doesn't show on their reports, and fixing it in the other hand would require spending their actual financial budget. So they much prefer it to remain some abstract concept those pesky techs are whining about, that's what they do all the time anyway.
(And maybe I might be a tiny bit cynical here...)
Nevertheless, I try to avoid that term if I can avoid it. Better directly refer to increased efforts required due to the unsuitable architecture, as this translates into time and money more management-intuitively.

Expecting the next mail in a few days..weeks: "Why ist everybody leaving without giving any notice?"

Well... You were told to bring it back to how you know it used to work before... And as far as you know about this, it never worked, so just deleted it 🔥

@Haxk20 have you tried 𝜋 == ℇ == 3.0 ?
*runs away while laughing maniacally*

I believe they don't see this as an issue at all. They think the Internet is a dangerous place and must be treated as auch.

Haha, I knew you were talking about HsKA after the first two sentences. Well, actually that's quite sad it has _this_ unique feature as it's most distinctive mark :/

You actually meant MWh ("Mega") instead of mWh ("Milli"), right? ;)
1000 kWh = 1 MWh, and
1000000 mWh = 1000 Wh = 1 kWh

Argh.. who ever built this network, with loose cables dangling from the Walls instead of proper wall sockets, deserves some special place in hell... (Or maybe the responsible beancounter, who said it's cheaper this way)

Either way, this disaster was just waiting for the right genius to actually happen - and im quite certain it won't be the last time...

No more open plan office spaces, no more hot-desking. And requiring every exec suggesting either to use such an environment for some months themselves.

In case of #2 there's usually some old post asking exactly the same question; no answers, but the OP later stating "Never mind, fixed it"
(or you discover you had posted the original question yourself, some years ago; still no answers by now)

Recently had this the other way round, trying to lock my home door using the transponder from work. And no, my home door has a classic mechanical lock...

You certainly destroyed the partition table, but Linux doesn't reload it unless manually triggered.

It's a common Setup to have a dedicated boot partition at the beginning of your disk. When you ran dd, you probably wrote to your HDD instead of the USB stick, but only as much data as the size of that image. You likely overwrote your bootloader, but no data that was required or loaded after booting.

@PrivateGER Well, I prefer to leave some room for later escalation, everyone has a right to a second chance before getting all their stuff burnt down to the ground

alias remove_compiler_errors="rm 'which gcc'" #no Compiler, no Compiler-Errors

I use that to give online shops individual addresses like 'shopping+devrant@mydomain.tld', and when I receive Spam there I know who lost or sold their customer data (and can easily block the spammers).

Unfortunately, a plus sign ist often not accepted as valid email address :/

They replaced the Mainboard of my rooted G4 a year ago without even a comment.
On the other hand, it was a known hardware problem for that model, devices built in the first few months after Launch were likely to suddenly brick themselves...
(LG directly, no idea about Sprint)
