Unfortunately I believe that most places don't even bother to go over our time tracking reports. Few years ago my brother worked in a big company and made a bet with other employees. He claimed that the damagment only checks the hours that they reported without checking what they did during those hours because all they care about is that the amount of hours that they reported is at least as the amount of hours that they should have worked during that month. He won the bet after for a whole week he reported detailed list of hours, but in the description he just wrote phrases from the Bible instead of describing his work. No one asked him about his report. I told him that I think that no one won, because the damagment probably didn't even check the hours and didn't even look at those reports.

That’s the case where everybody wins.
Bad implementation of stupid policy cancels all its disadvantages.
yes, there is still an overhead of all the resources spent on supporting that policy - but it’s a really small price to pay for avoiding all the damage from that policy being vigorously followed.

Well, what do you think of their recommendations?

You've must have exhausted all other options. Maybe they have a six figure salary job opening

If some companies have legacy systems they can't upgrade for one reason or another, maybe SQL 2005 knowledge is in high demand? Might not hurt to learn VB6 at the same time!
The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.
As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it. Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

Uhm...
I'd personally take a pretty hard pass on that.

Well. SQL 2005 is something you may need a refresher course in.

Lordy... CodeProject just published a very interesting AI incident. Here's the link they published. Pretty spooky and seriously concerning stuff, IMHO. Watch your kids, folks.

Yeah, if you read about this, it came from TikTok. That’s not app I won’t use, and have banned from my kids phones and laptops.

It's interesting how the 10 year old girl is smarter than all those people making these challenges.

Same here even as of this date and time. I DID send the WebMaster another email on the subject (a day or two ago, IIRC) of the most recent change breaking things and some of them, like "eMail Notifications" still being broken. They responded with it being forwarded to the Development team but they've apparently not fixed it yet. 🙁
I wonder what the actual fix was for?
