Hmmm. Striptease maybe? He's probably already spying on you through your laptop's webcam, give him a good show. But make it clear that underpants don't come off until the game is installed.

What a dickhead...
In AD if you check and uncheck the "password must be reset next logon" box it resets the password age :ssh:

Ooooooh. Nice. Didn’t know that.

Also look at you fancy pants admins with a working lab environment. We’re lucky that the patches load. Test? lol

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
I retired in 2018. Reading this poo poo helps me remember why I do not miss working in IT.

You're not allowed to crumble unless I say so.
I knew a coworker who got a job as head of IT and convinced his new job to switch all users on laptops to using only Chrome books.

Now he jokes that all his tickets responses are basically ‘that issue is actually google’s problem go hit them up for support’ for everything. He just needs to make sure traffic is moving.


I don’t know if he’s a madman or a loving genius.

Leaves more of an evidence trail, ofc - but it's compliant with recommendations from MS and NIST, so fuckit.

If the user changes their password 10 times in a row they can re use their existing password unless there is a group policy overriding it. :ssh:

Our CTO keeps saying that we are gonna do this, and then they spend millions on the entrenched infrastructure of windows laptops each year.

They've been saying it for five years lmao

Google doesn't really "do" support. And investing your entire infrastructure with them effectively turns the relationship into a hostage situation with a hilariously lopsided power differential between you and Google.

Anyway, there's a problem if the needs of the workers go beyond the cookie cutter, i.e. if they need to do anything beyond data entry. Blowing them off will inevitably lead to shadow IT as people jury rig whatever it is they need by asking their nephews.

You do not want nephews of employees running a part of your IT.

(A not insignificant part of my job involves convincing people to give up their illicit means of computing so that we can take over and actually secure poo poo and have some kind of inventory of what's going on. It's extremely :psyduck:. I've seen things…)

Capped sales commissions are an excellent reason to stop going to work after you hit your number though.
