Judge Schnoopy posted:I've never shopped cameras before, this is what my predecessor bought so I figured $1000 including installation was normal. Several years ago it was true... IP cameras used to be $600+ for just the camera itself. The cameras I use from Vivotek (model IP8160) are only $130 retail these days, and the one of the suppliers I use will often cut another $10-25 off depending on volume. My primary reason for going with Vivotek years ago was because of their software, secondary was camera price. CCTV camera software has always been a huge hit or miss, but Vivotek's software is definitely one of the best free ones I've used IMHO.

My main problem now is an established infrastructure. I can't get away with using other software for this one site, it all has to be uniform. But the guys I'm working with are probably walking away with extremely healthy profits that might come down it I can get a competitor in the mix.

Bill has been bringing his bicycle into work again and using it for food runs, office supplies, etc. He claims that with the electric assist he doesn't even sweat. I had to walk by him just now as he was returning from his latest ride and there was an almost visible fug surrounding him that I had to pass through. It's so bad that it's seeping into my office from his next door. It's going to be a long summer.

Quite a few camera vendors use AVer's software which you can pick up bundled with a hybrid card for $400 to $800 depending on vendor. Might be worth it just to get your hands on the software if that's what they're used to. It's what I use because I've still got analog cameras in play at my sites and each card can support up to 16 analog cameras or 32 IP units.

people not understanding time zones, co-workers and clients alike. I had a client say I could have a maintenance window of one of their machines at 10PM local - 2AM local, aka 3AM-7AM my time, on a Sunday morning, yeah, no, give me something better than that. Co-worker scheduled updates (accidentally.. kind of) for a client that has lovely DSL like 2-3Mbps at 12PM, these updates are 200-300MB for each workstation and they have 4-6 workstations, their retail locations are displeased as are their IT guys.

MF_James posted:people not understanding time zones, co-workers and clients alike. I quite enjoy people in the department bitching to me that X supplier isn't answering their phones and end up on hold for TOO LONG first thing in the morning. They are 2 timezones away and staff there are probably just rolling out of bed. Granted they COULD have a 'office closed' mode to their system but it's not like any of our staff don't know the supplier is that far away.

I have been demanding a living PSD for our GUI for quite some time now. Marketing is in charge of "look and feel" of our GUI. This means that any change to the GUI needs to be approved by them. I had a very nice PSD made up, and the marketing director bitched and moaned the entire time about it. How I was being unreasonable that I wanted changes to the GUI to be in the PSD. That it would take him far too long to change it (it's 26megs right now). The marketing director has never made a product from scratch, nor marketed a product from scratch. I have now 10 completed and sellable products from scratch under my belt. The CEO sent this email yesterday after I went home: quote:Ratbert: What in the gently caress is "old school?"  God drat, I have almost had it with this place. I love the people, and the freedom for the most part, but the marketing director and the CEO are such pals that it's making my life incredibly difficult. I am 99% more than likely going to finish this product and then start looking for another job; as it's clear the CEO doesn't give a gently caress about my experience, or opinion based on that experience on how to manage product development.

IT is not responsible for every page on our website. Sorry. We have a marketing department. CEO: Why the hell is Joe Smith still on our website! He hasn't worked here in 6 months! Well, nobody ever told anyone to take him off. CEO: Search for Joe Smith on our site and look what comes up! (it's an employee testimonial about how great it is to work here) Yup. Well, remember when HR and marketing teamed up to put these pages together for these employees? When they leave you should probably have marketing take them down...

loving Outlook users. Just got off the phone with a guy who moves all his sent items into his inbox. "Gary, why the hell are all these messages from yourself in your inbox?" I move them there from my sent items! "Why?" That's just the way I keep track of them! "Alrighty then."

Aunt Beth posted:Quit like storm out no-notice ragequit, or quit like handed in notice? Dear ABC, With bittersweet emotions mixed with excitement and appreciation for ABC, I am leaving my position as HR Director effective July 10th to relocate and start a new chapter of HR adventures. ABC has been my home for the last fourteen years and I couldn’t have been luckier to work with the associates that make up this wonderful organization. I will miss my ABC family. Please note the HR department will continue during this transition period, focusing on our number one priority and most important asset, our associates. If you need assistance, please feel free to contact ........... Sincerely, HR Lady I think she's just tired of bullshit lately and I don't think she gets along with our new-ish COO (he's cool though). Our owner has been letting managers hire whoever the gently caress they want, expanding like crazy (bad idea) and violating so many rules it's just dumb. She also just got her masters this year. If it weren't for that I'd wonder if she's just retiring (she's probably 55?). Bonus fact: she lives across the street from the owners of the company. We had a big vendor in for lunch and the owner of our company was introducing the management team and how each person started working here. He got to the HR lady and said, "Well, this girl moved in to our neighborhood, the first thing I said is wow she is beautiful. She started going jogging with my wife and then I said wow we should have a threesome together"

Seems like there's a lot of money to be made by someone that authors some kind of monitor that looks for files being modified serially and hitting a "kill all network interfaces and set local storage read only" panic button. I assume these ransomware apps go after a fairly predictable list of paths so the real challenge becomes not triggering false positives. Though now that I think about it no one takes this poo poo seriously until they get nailed so I'm guessing you'd be a developer with a great idea and no customers.

That's almost what the FSRM script does - if files appear with common ransomware extensions it shoves a deny permission on the share for the user doing it.

The worst part about people leaving is the "goodbye lunch." People get needled relentlessly to set one up when they give notice, and everyone is pressured to show up just to be one in a sea of 40 faces and never get a chance to talk with the person actually leaving. What's the loving point?

Thanks Ants posted:That's almost what the FSRM script does - if files appear with common ransomware extensions it shoves a deny permission on the share for the user doing it. Not sure if the FSRM script is going to be effective against this vector of attack. From what the article says this one is attacking the MBR instead of individual files. Initial infection comes in as an infected office document, probably through email, but then it can spread through the network using the same vulnerabilities as wannacry.

CrowdStrike is probably a good shout for that, it detects stuff on a behaviour basis, and can isolate a machine using an agent installed on each endpoint. I haven't used it but had a demo of it at an Infosec exhibition a few weeks ago, according to virustotal they were the first to have definitions for it as well: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/027cc450ef5f8c5f653329641ec1fed91f694e0d229928963b30f6b0d7d3a745/analysis/
