I originally saw this on reddit, where someone pointed out that -- among the many other problems with this idea -- there might be some concerns about having your network and systems infrastructure in a location that definitionally will not be secured.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:ugh that feeling when you can't even stand to watch a user fail at changing their own password any longer. I've been recently asking users while shadowing them why they push Caps Lock to make one letter in their password capital. I then take the risk to ask them if they know about the shift key. Sadly so far it's been news to them. At least I'm teaching them something new?

I have two users that do the caps lock thing, and are both otherwise competent home-row typists. When asked they both shrugged and said that's just how they learned.

Yeah, I expect to run into that at some point but so far it's a new thing for all of them. It's been older users so far, it just stood out to me when i saw it and i recently got bold enough to ask them about it.

My Caplock key has only ever been useful to me when ... .well one time I had to ..... gently caress it - the thing is useless. Thankfully I have this fancy keyboard at work that lets me disable the key entirely.

After disabling capslock in the registry, it still registers as a keypress so it's great as a push to talk button for game comms. Unfortunately some voice comms programs don't allow you to bind capslock.

Capslock was useful when mainframes would throw a shitfit if you used lower case. Kinda like the pause, break and sysreq keys

SoftNum posted:Capslock was useful when mainframes would throw a shitfit if you used lower case. Kinda like the pause, break and sysreq keys For the longest time I thought SysReq meant "System Required" and was in reference to the "Print" that's also on the key, like "If have a printer (the titular System Required) and you push this button it will print".

My boss is a capslock-for-shift guy, but he at least has the self-awareness to feel ashamed about it. Still, it took me a while to realize that a message like "WHAT IS GOING ON WITH X?" wasn't an outraged demand, it was just a request for a status update on X.

I'm kinda too far the opposite, it's rare that I'll use capslock over shift, even in situations where I'm going to be writing in all caps for several sentences

Does anyone remember a video from a couple of years ago of a hapless IT guy trying to recover the RAID array for a small video production company? It was all videos of like skateboarding and stunts, that sort of thing, and they had some kind of horrible and badly designed multi-layered RAID system where one drive failure caused stripe errors in all of the archival videos.

Every time I look at RAID it seems that someone has juggled around what the numbers mean... I very rarely actually look at it anymore, but it's weird to think I have a concept down only to learn that I really, really don't literally every time I look.

RAID levels haven't changed. They have added some combinations, but the individual meanings are still the same.
