What type of phone? I have an Android (a couple, actually) and I'm able to bring up Google Play and it's able to show me roughly where my phone is. I mean, it'll show me the physical address but it's not going to tell me it's under the couch cushions. It will, however, let me have it ring at max volume so that it will help me locate it. I'm not familiar with iOS, but I would think they have something similar.

Thanks for this. I didn't even know this was possible.

That specific model's also likes to break the local print spooler, preventing printing even to other printers, so badly that the only way I've ever found to get it working again is to manually delete the files that represent the print queue. It isn't a consistent behavior, some jobs just make it poo poo itself, and if you just try to restart the print spooler service without doing that it will just break the service again.
Pdf-poo poo breaks them, print them as "image" (option somewhere in adobe reader) and they'll work fine.


I might aswell add my own printer hell today.
Recommended users to buy a M1217nfw (i think)-something, just by looking at specs.
Does not print to pdf without running software (we're using Citrix so no go there)
Does not print from our 2008r2 printserver, nor from win7x86 using standard hp universal pcl5 v5.5.0 or any other i could find on the network. The job will spool, get into the print queue and then disappear.
Does not install supplied drivers without using usb connection.
Is 5½ hours away.

**edit i dont know why i recommended it, i do know that i hate looking at stuff for other people so i might have missed to check the citrix-compability for it. Oh well...

This is a thing made by xkcd using the leaked adobe password information and shows the most common passwords. The most common one(the first crossword) are so depressing that people would use them.

I thought about banning any password used more than 15 times, simply by comparing the hashes. Then I remembered that I salt them. :saddowns:

It's the one thing they can remember. When all that is on your mind is facebook, why not use it as password.
Alternatively, that's the password they used on fb, and then they just reused it.

Apparently administration finally got around to making their decision on whether or not to proceed with the MDM installation. They decided to go ahead with it, yet didn't bother to let any of us in I.T. know about it. So, now we're getting people dropping by wanting this poo poo installed. We've probably got about 100 users that need this installed and these asswipes wait until the holiday week to finally approve it. I'm surrounded by morons.

I'm confused by it tbh. Unless I'm missing something, under normal circumstances salting a hash shouldn't prevent you from comparing hashed values (especially for the same user) because you'd normally use the same salt value for that user all of the time. As I understand it, the point of a salt isn't to make passwords hard to compare within your own database or organisation, it's to protect against rainbow table attacks if your database is compromised externally.

They're saying if 15 different people used the same password they'd want to ban it, but they salt, and that's different for each user, so it's a no go. The goal is to eliminate any kind of top 10 password list or at least limit it to only 14 instances of "password1" or "adobeadobe".

Giving each user their own salt is another technique that's getting more common, to prevent attackers from simply being able to build a rainbow table against your common salt.

Actually, I was wrong. I assumed the salt was on a per-password basis, rather than per-user. I suppose I shouldn't be concerned by password re-use policies, then.

In my experience, that consistently happens when you try to print a push with selectable text, and is occasionally(but not always) fixable by setting print as image in Adobe.

Agreed, I have this issue at the school I work at. Something about offloading a process that most printers do onboard to the driver/software. I get this problem when printing to PDF's and certain word documents.

I think I'm starting to develop "have issues how you do stuff" syndrome.

A code was put to repo, along the lines:

quote:

<ul><li><a href='[main_category]'>Main category</a><ul><li><a href='[main_category]/[secondary_category]'>Secondary category</a></li></ul></li></ul>

It needed some styling, so it was assigned to somebody that will add appropriate CSS to it.

The code was changed to:

quote:

<ul><li><a href='[main_category]'>Main category</a></li><li><a href='[main_category]/[secondary_category]'>Secondary category</a></li></ul>

A conversation followed:

:) hi there - why did you put the [sub options] on the same level as the [main option]? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it as sub menu?
:ohdear: yeah.... nice idea... i'll do that now
