He's great at extrapolating the wrong conclusion from poorly-understood snippets of understanding, and I've seen nothing recent from him that makes me think he's gotten better. I'd avoid on principle.

Steve Gibson inspired some healthy paranoid mindset in me, but that was in fricking 1999. I can't imagine anyone still taking him seriously now if he's still spouting nonsense like he did then. His ShieldsUp! is a case for unbinding Netbios from your modem adapter to prevent people from accessing your network shares over the internet, FFS. Nothing in that would still apply in TYOOL 2022.

Would a modern version just be him screaming endlessly about cloud services and always-on spy devices masquerading as home assistance by letting you pretend you're on the Enterprise talking to the ship's computer?

I used to listen to the Security Now podcast with Steve Gibson back when I was doing a lot of driving for work. I'm pretty sure he was still using Windows 2000 as his primary desktop OS well into the 2010s.

I'm pretty sure the connector on the outlet-to-brick cable is standardized, so you could get cables with a more reasonable length. Then you could use those little command velcro stripe to secure the bricks to the side. Beyond that, out of sight, out of mind.

TITTIEKISSER69 posted:Ask A Manager: the new hire who showed up is not the same person we interviewed lmao We actually had this happen for a pretty low level role. He lasted about a week. Ended up sexually harassing another employee. When she told him to stop he double downed on being lovely, so she left her desk to get her manager. When they came back he was gone, up and left the building without a word and never came back. Unfortunately the supervisor who hired him ate poo poo for it and nobody believed him when he claimed we got catfished. But the most telling sign was that he walked the guy he interviewed to the front door of the building. The guy who showed up had a heavy limp and couldn't make it up the stairs. That, on top of the expected performance problems like not knowing basic things he aced in the interview and being an all around moron. (Like interrupting a VP meeting to complain that someone stole his lunch. It got pushed to the back of the fridge. We also warned him that would happen.)

This is my first time being contacted by recruiters and I’ve learned that recruiters are loving awful. I’ve had the same person contact me 4 times since yesterday for basically call-center jobs because no one understands hierarchy I guess? 15 years of experience with 7 of those being director/upper management positions and you think I’m going to jump at a tier 1 phone support job at a treadmill startup on a 6 month contract for $20k a year? Lmao

Unless you're dealing with a boutique recruiter for the specific elements of your industry they're going to be garbage. They don't understand who you are or what the job involves, they're just yelled at by management to put a warm body in the job hole so they can get their commission and bollocks to whether or not its a good fit.

My best luck has been to reach out to an IT recruitment firm and tell them what I am looking for. That said, I don't look for director level roles, so I don't know how they handle stuff like that
