"Hello this is IT, did you turn it off and on again?"

Originally shared by Chris Blasko

Today is a good day. I just had a call from a telemarketer. Did I yell and scream at them, you ask? Certainly not. Like a good IT administrator I put my skills to use for their benefit. Here's how the conversation went:

Computer: "Press 9 to not be contacted in the future. Press 4 to speak to someone about your mortgage issues"

presses 4

TM: "Hello, are you having problems paying your mortgage?"

Me: "Hi, this is the IT department. We intercepted your call as we detected a problem with you phone and need to fix it."

TM: "Oh... ok, well what do we need to do?"

Me: "We're going to need to fix the settings by pressing 4-6-8 and * at the same time"

TM: "Ok, nothing happened."

Me: "Are you using the new Polycom phones that we deployed?"

TM: "No, it's a Yealink"

Me: "Ok, I see. You haven't had the new Polycom phone deployed to your desk yet. Let me check our technical documentations for the Yealink."

Me: "Alright, do you see an "OK" button on your phone?"

TM: "Yes I do"

Me: "Alright, you're going to press and hold that button for 10 seconds."

TM: "OK, pressing it now"

Me: "Perfect, let me know if you get a password request"

TM: "OK, nothing has popped up ye----"

That's right. I made a telemarketer unwittingly factory reset his phone which means he will be unable to make anymore calls until someone is able to reconfigure his phone and that will take at least an hour or longer if they can't do it right away!

My appreciation for openSUSE breaking random desktop functions with their "KDE Current" releases, without offering a way to go back to the previous working state, is quickly reaching level zero.

Latest victim: Display Configuration broken.

Previous victim: Google Calendar integration.
