The most charitable scenario I can imagine behind that image is that in addition to storing the hashed password, they also have it broken down into hashed 3 letter segments as well, to prevent any sequence of 3 from being reused, and " Z " (note spaces) is the one it's triggering.

That's storing passwords in some weird plaintext fashion, I'm guessing. One that somehow regexes for "/\s[Z]\s/".

I support a software application that runs on Windows Mobile devices. When you tap on the app, it launches. If you tap on the app twice, it launches and you get an error that basically says "App is already running. If you opened it twice, tap "OK" to continue, otherwise tap "Reboot" to proceed with rebooting the device to prevent multiple instances of the application from running".

You'll never guess how many people tap Reboot without reading it and then call us because their device restarted.

I called helpdesk and said “windows won’t load on workstation Xxxxxxx. It doesn’t detect a hard drive. The hard drive does not show up in BIOS. I ran the diagnostics tool you guys always run anyway. I opened the box and dusted everything and unplugged / replugged the power and sata cables. Still not recognized. One of our doctors needs this computer today or he will have to find a place to use a crappy laptop way out of the way and work at half speed and not be able to dictate notes. Please, hurry and bring another box or freshly imaged drive. It’s flu season.”

A guy showed up two days later and piddles around with the pc for like 45 minutes (???) to determine the problem and then said “Huh. Guess I have to go get a new one!” And he didn’t come back with the new one until the next day. It cost us dearly.

Two days after that, I got the email about the ticket being opened at the same time I got the one about it being closed. The helpdesk’s message said “computer won’t start in doctor area” and nothing else.

HDDs making GBS threads themselves is becoming a monthly occurrence around here. I hear it’s even worse in other facilities where they have already switched to super-cheap SSDs instead of having 10-year old shitboxes.

And why do you not keep spares onsite if this is a regular occurrence?

Running our lovely EMR program and Dragon dictation software is basically all these computers do. Check email here and there. We don’t get spares on-site for the same reason we have extremely outdated computers in the first place: corporate bullshit. The VP of operations comes by about once a year to ask how things are going and I usually lay into him. He forgets not to ask me and I see the regret creep into his face every time, then he transitions to fake concern after a couple of minutes, takes down a few notes of what I said, then goes back to his office to throw the notes away and take a nap

Watch me pull my dongle out of this tiny box


Home and work confluence has arrived and I'm at a loss.

Wife's work laptop (Dell) VPN (Cisco AnyConnect) refuses to resolve any external sites when on my 5GHz network (ac). If she tethers to her phone (2.4GHz n), it works fine. If she connects to the 2.4GHz n network at home, it works fine.

But when she's on the home 5GHz network, DNS queries to non-corporate IPs (Slack, GMail, etc) all fail through the VPN-provided DNS server.

My work laptop (2017 touchbar MBP) has no trouble with external resolution of any non-blocked sites when connected to the VPN (PulseSecure) on the 5GHz ac network.

I don't have any special settings on the router (Netgear Nighthawk X4S) other than restricting DHCP range to the 2-100 IPs.

I'm at a loss in my troubleshooting, and her work IT is utterly loving useless.

I don't see any settings for AP isolation on the main WiFi, only on the guest network, which I don't use.

Where else could I look? Or is this just "A Thing" with certain ac chips in laptops?

About 4 years ago we finally moved away from our fleet of 40ish Symbol MC5040s. That was a great day indeed. gently caress ActiveSync.

They where generally 802.11b only, though some later revisions had 802.11g radios, and only just supported WPA1-PSK. Fun fact: running WPA-PSK on most wifi equipment results in 802.11g speed limits. We had to run a separate SSID just for these drat things to avoid slowing other devices down.

We also had some major issues with them when we introduced Unifi APs into our environment. Apparently many older Symbol/Motorola devices are not quite 100% 802.11b/g compliant. Ubiquiti ended up buying a second hand MC5040 so they could test the issue themselves and sent me a patched Unifi firmware; the fix was eventually rolled out into the public releases.

Yep. The VPN connection works identically, EXCEPT for DNS resolution through the same point.

This is actually in the spec. 802.11n and above mandate WPA2, any devices that support WPA1 at 802.11n or above speeds are technically doing it wrong.

This is exactly what occurred in our case as well. Our EDI/POS software company said they where abandoning their Windows Mobile software and replaced it with a Android app.

So now I have a fleet of Motorola ET1 tablets (OK devices, but Zebra discontinued the drat batteries when they took over Moto's enterprise division and no 3rd party makes them, so they are nearly impossible to find now). And recently added some MC70s.
