So a drive on one of our unofficial servers died - it makes a weird noise that sounds like a POST beep code, but must be the arm or disk spinning up for a second and then failing. There is some unessential but valuable information on the disk which was not backed because you guys, we all work in IT of course it wasn't backed up. I've tried freezing it, which at least allowed the BIOS to proceed, but once I'm in Windows the disk shows up as uninitialised and I'm pretty sure if I initialise it that blows away any partitions that are there. The weirdest thing is that it shows up as a 3.8TB capacity disk when it clearly has 2000GB printed on it. Do I have any options other than intialising and hoping that gets the information back?

Remember to always do Win+D before Win+L, because you never know what rear end in a top hat will be looking over your shoulder when you unlock your computer.

We have lovely Wyse terminals (my boss decided to give away our PCs and go with the terminals just to spite the PC team) so I use ctrl+alt+left arrow to lock instead of windows+l. Although win+l would still lock the server I RDP to, just not the terminal itself.

Data recovery has been ruled out because it was unessential, but it was used as a dumping ground so I had some web documentation there and my coworker had some D&D campaign stuff that's kind of a pain to lose but not enough to pay out of pocket for recovery. loving seagates.

So which one of you guys had money on Joe the Warehouse Guy claiming solemnly that it wasn't him who changed the quantities, not him, couldn't be? And the managers insisting to me in a torrent of emails that surely this means there's something wrong with my software and maybe it's, I don't know, automatically changing values on its own and inserting spurious log entries under Joe's name at random times unrelated to any other system events because of "a bug"? I swear to god they are sending me screenshots of every single product quantity discrepancy they've found (it's over a dozen by now), including screenshots of the logs, each one showing Joe making the exact manual override change that results in the discrepancy they're scratching their heads over, and telling me "there is definitely something funky going on in the IMS". There is literally no other pathway to get the log message they're seeing, other than "Joe, or someone logged in using Joe's credentials, changed the quantity from 23 to 22". But Joe says he didn't do it, so now they can't trust the software and they're going to have me build in some new kind of crazy multi-level permissions scheme, and that's if they accept that it's actually the result of someone doing something they shouldn't be and not just the software going crazy and altering numbers randomly and carefully logging it under some poor innocent warehouse guy's name

Make everyone use 2fa to make edits using one of those RSA random key generators. Think of the upsell! But yes just like, sit them down and have a heart to heart or hire a friggen client manager to walk them through this inanity. Lock Joe's account out from editing. Make edits that Joe does require approval from someone else. make sure there isn't a bug where there could be another path to make this happen, and give them proof. Demo the proof if need be KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 05:51 on Jan 11, 2018 |

If everything mysteriously stops being fucky, guess who doesn't have to come back to work and also has an investigation started.

Make it so any inventory change results in an transaction being booked as "inventory adjustment" and sent up the order chain for approval.

This is one of the advantages of web software, because you have independent HTTP logs which carry a lot more convincing PII like source IP and browser.

Log the attempt, make it look like it went through for him if you can, don't actually update the data. Let's see how well that goes when the numbers won't actually add up.

Some of my customers print barcoded credentials on a sticker that they put in their shop floor PCs. One of those stickers, with the plaintext clearly legible, made it into one of my company's marketing videos.  I spotted it before anyone noticed and used them, but the marketing team had the vid on the corporate YouTube channel for two months before they sent it to us. It then took two days after I raised the alarm for them to take the video down.

My dad was guilty of this for the longest time as well. Their browser's homepage was set to Google, so my dad would open up the browser, type the URL he wanted into the Google search bar instead of the address bar, hit enter, and click the first result. Now he mostly remembers to use the address bar and cut out the middle man.

A bunch of tickets came in: Some of our Win10 1607 machines have started automatically downloading and installing the 1709 update despite it not being approved on WSUS, and these PCs were set by GP to only install security updates, and the update is installing outside of the update window set by group policy.
