What is?
"We need all the display screens on site to show channel XYZ immediately"
Holy shit why what happened?
"It's the England match!!"
.....what?
"It's the World Cup match England vs (I don't care)!!"
You want me to set every single display to tune in to a television station, in a commercial setting without the required license to do so, in place of the stat counters and statistics information they were installed for?
"Yes!!"
Sorry can't help you...
"You don't understand! If we don't display it everyone just watches on their phones secretly under their desk and productivity tanks! This is a morale booster and encourages (corporate newspeak for "we're a family"), we need you to do this HIGHEST PRIORITY!!!!!"
....I can't help you even if i wanted to. Try the Estates team, it's nothing to do with IT.
Fuck you you made me think something important had happened. I thought we'd declared war. Or the queen had died and we'd be getting another bank holiday.
It runs on electricity so it must be an IT thing.
Also chucking it on the telly will prob save you a tonne of bandwidth on your network.
I also had this asked of me but for the Melbourne Cup horse race, except there was no TV tuners in the screens and the person asking us to change that channel to the horse race was the same person who argued we shouldn't put tuners in the screen because they would fall under a more expansive tax bracket.
Outstanding. Excellent work that one guy. I hope you milked it for all it was worth.
