Cars: nooo you can't overtake 100m of stationary traffic waiting at a light Cyclists: haha chain go clickkkkk Seriously if you're in a euro city that's making even a little effort to be cycle friendly, get a cheap bike, it's goddamn life changing. Also tryhard commuter cyclists belting along at 15mph on pavements is bad bad bad do not go on the pavement

I ride in a city with loads of bike lanes, otherwise I ride on the road, as that's the law. One the footpath a bike is a menace to pedestrians in the same way that a car is a menace to bikes on the road, so it's not really fair of me to prioritise my safety over that of others when it was my choice to ride. I just didn't ride at all when I lived in a city with crap cycling infrastructure though, that poo poo is suicidal. The assholes in huge dual cab utes who are furious that I have to ride on the road for one single block between bike lanes and actively try to kill me? I lust for their deaths. Chill the gently caress out we're all just trying to go to work.

Currently debating on whether to put in my two weeks this week or next due to several factors. Waiting to hear back from a job I interviewed for which said they'd call last Friday but didn't, and also need to call my employee insurance co.oany to see if my coverage would end immediately nd id have to go on cobra or if it would last to the end of the month.

Our new inventory/customer software and implementation has been a flaming sack of poo poo from day one. My current favorite thing is that it can't handle 2 customers having the same name even if they have different account numbers. So now we have John Smith, John Lnot actual middle initial Smith, John(space)(space)Smith, and other variations. Oh and the search is so poo poo that if I put in John Smith it won't show me the others. So better hope you know the account number or whatever random variation that guy gets. How is sorting customers and searching not a solved issue in 2021? Of course none of this clusterfuck is the fault of my boss's son who chose the software in secret without input from sales or production staff who actually work there full-time and were able to spot a poo poo ton of problems in the first 10 min of our "training". Nope it's all our fault for not being on board and "throwing wrenches" in the process.

The password requirements for one of our systems is so restrictive that I am having a hard time coming up with new ones. Not only do we have to change it every 30 days but your new one cannot be within X characters of similarity to ANY of your old ones, on top of seven other qualifiers. Some people that have been here a long time are using generators that make a string too complex to remember, so they write it on a post-it and stick it to the monitor like it's the first hour of Deus Ex.

My mom's friend had a boarder living with her who was so paranoid about internet stuff that he generated massive long passwords like that (for the wi-fi) but yes, he'd absolutely leave the post-it somewhere in plain sight.

Inzombiac posted:The password requirements for one of our systems is so restrictive that I am having a hard time coming up with new ones. To force people into two factor authentication in my old job you had to set up two passwords. One was 26 characters long with required capitalization, special characters and numbers to be used when you forgot your badge at home. The other one was the normal eight characters with numbers and symbols. The problems came in when for many of us the 26 character password became our only way to log into the system when the company launched 2FA before getting the badge reader keyboards to everyone. It was basically standard that every monitor had a post it note with the user's password for the next month or so while we waited on our new keyboards.

The monthly password reset I'm talking about is for a no-longer-supported method of logging on. So not only is it a pain in the rear end to make a new password, it happens very frequently and it's not something we're allowed to use anymore. But if you forget to make a new password? Oh boy, your boss is gonna hear about it.

happyhippy posted:No Meetings Fridays. Yep, my specific group within my company started doing that a month ago. Surprise us artist grunts weren’t really able to get away with that because we have deadlines to meet and if it weren’t for having a very benevolent manager and producer we wouldn’t be able to take advantage of it, but we’re logging “downtime” to use in the future if we miss a no meeting Friday. I’ve got like four days of “down time” to play with when we see the end of a few projects.

To be fair to monitor post it notes JC Denton is probably not going to be visiting your office any time soon so it's not the worst amount of physical security you could expect. It feels like we collectively lose our poo poo as a society about passwords every once in a while. My current policy is at defcon 5: 15 character alphanumeric caps and symbols, plus occasional 2FA. Being contract based the policy is also to follow this on client systems whenever possible which lord I try but sometimes I need to log in to industrial hand helds that have hard keyboards not especially meant for typing. So I can either spend 5 minutes logging in or set my password to Butts321 for that period.

Outrail posted:Kinda surprised larger companies haven't gone for biometric passwords. My current 2FA requires a short password and an approval of a push notification from your cell phone, which is about as close to a biometric login as you'll see. I hate the "insert card" systems with a passion. Some of them require that the card sit in the system to keep the computer unlocked, so walking away without your badge and leaving the computer unlocked at the same time is pretty easy.

If someone wants to break into our office, disable the alarm, find the sticky note under my keyboard with my password, then log into my pc and start deleting relevant information from our department drive (we have backups) they can be my guest

Anytime I wanted to I could have gone over to someone's computer and sent files directly to a foreign national in my old job because of easily visible passwords and/or because people never locked their computers. The chances for it are incredibly small, but I did once watch a supervisor use someone's unlocked computer to send a resignation letter for the employee to the president as a way to teach them a lesson about locking their computer. For some reason the supervisor was upset to learn not everyone thought that was funny or a good idea.

zedprime posted:Biometrics might be capable of technically high entropy but it's a question with a definite answer, and the answer doesn't change. That's the big problem. A few years back a UK security company, whoops, left their database of millions of fingerprints and facial data exposed to the internet. (and left it exposed for a week after discovery because they hung up on people trying to let them know.) Perhaps the victims could get the company to pay for that mafia-style fingerprint changing surgery.

The data we have stored ranges from "publicly available" to "could be embarassing". Theres no trade secrets, no financial stuff, nothing that could be used against us. My former coworker here has a roommate who works for another org which has a department like mine but much more legitimate and on a larger scale. They posted a job thats essentially my position and I guess no one qualified has applied. I told former coworker I was interested, and he told his roommate, who told the org, and they've been asking about me and have reached out thru the grapevine to get my email. Im an ideal candidate since I wouldn't need any sort of training, and the pay is a little better with similar benefits. However, they're over an hours drive away. They have a van pool from my town and they may do a 4-10s kind of schedule, or a partial work from home schedule, but I just can't bring myself to spend 2 hours a day commuting. Their sampling project is much larger then ours and involves delivery to a lab even further away. Im really torn over this.
