that may not have been it. some update on my home pc stopped it from ever automatically going to sleep despite the setting being turned on. i have just been manually doing it as a result.

since we started using 2fa (lol duo) we no longer have password expirations. as a result i have memorized the 21 character auto-generated gibberish that my password generator made for my work stuff.

we also have password expiry but somehow it doesn't apply correctly on my account and my password stays the same in all but a few of our online services, crucially including VPN/SSO/Git/Domain user I keep very quiet about this Chris Knight posted:ah yes the registry, famously being very open to changes by regular users and not locked down by admins at all actually we can get local admin for a day or two by filling out a quick form, it's just that there is a program that forces us to do a policy check before connecting to the VPN Private Speech fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Oct 12, 2022 |

We've started using 2FA because some professor got scammed last year through their university account, and I don't mind it in concept, but the Duo implementation is just complete loving garbage. I have to do it at least half a dozen times every day because seemingly none of the systems talk to each other. Login to VPN, duo push. Login to email, Duo push. Log into class website, Duo push. Log into student advising portal, Duo push. All on the same laptop within 2 minutes. Repeat all of this an hour later if I go to class and want to use the teaching station instead of my laptop. gently caress oooooffffff Also someone please tell me why I have to do a Duo login that pushes to my phone when I am accessing one of these sites on my phone? What is being accomplished there?

Sagebrush posted:seemingly none of the systems talk to each other theres your problem, my university's sso implementation remembers sign-ons in the same browser session and i often dont have to re-enter my credentials if signing in to a different system, let alone another duo push also duo push to apple watch is great, seems like a small difference compared to picking up phone but it is quite a bit nicer in practice

Perplx posted:is that personal laptop? i have to use my okta a couple times a month on my work laptop It's everything. Personal laptop, phone, work laptop, desktop computer in a classroom, doesn't matter. Separate 2FAs for each university system you log into. Even poo poo like Zoom and Box. You can set a cookie to stay logged in on each one you do, but it expires after 12 hours (and doesn't seem to work reliably anyway). So even in the best case you're doing the whole cycle again every morning Best Bi Geek Squid posted:this would literally jokerfy me yep. My best guess on why the IT department hasn't been tarred and feathered for it is that a lot of the professors are old fossils who just don't use their computers that much.

I thought those codecs were free, but it might be some pro tiered/included with other hardware licenses deal which is pretty lol considering it comes on every other operating system for $0

I think you can still set the camera to save as jpg in settings as well, although it would only apply to photos taken after you changed the setting.

Every morning when I come in my WSL2 system is frozen (all terminals stopped in their tracks) and Vmmem.exe is using either 1, 15, or 832 MB of memory and pegging all the CPU it can. Only a reboot seems to fix it. Very good software! edit: I guess I can escalate and stop and start the vmcompute / Hyper-V host compute service. Maybe my IT should stop my computer from going to sleep!

mine only has to be reset every 6 months, but fortunately they haven't done the "cannot contain part of your last password" thing yet (knock on wood) so it's just passwordA, passwordB, passwordC, etc. as if it matters since i spend half my day doing 2FA prompts now. three times just in the last two hours of student advising! oh, and if you forgot your phone and think "no problem, i'll just use a computer instead" think again, poo poo-for-brains! we're tying you to these stupid devices until the day you die!!!

I was briefly in a situation where I had to keep entering 2FA codes a million times a day due to things being configured stupidly but TOTP was enabled as an option so I was able to make it a lot easier than pulling out my phone every time.
