None of my examples of things worth dying on the hill for were relevant to old mate's "gently caress you I will do what I want in a known kidnap for ransom zone and I am going to take you to the EU court over mandating utilising a safety travel ap while in a red zone". My point was that a lot of people claim some small thing is a really big deal, infer that they would really make a big song and dance when most people wont, with a counter example I provided along with the commentary that it was not actually a great idea to make it Custers last stand. We had a different fellow say he was going to quit rather than receive a "DNA altering" vaccine so we obtained and flew in a dose of Sinovax, registered it with local authorities and administered it just to old mate so that he could continue to work (we mandated expats are covid vaccinated as required for continued employment).

The limit of my work apps on my phone is, e-mail and the application that does the timeclock and other payroll things for me so I can clock in and out without having to sit at a desktop. I wouldn't even have the email but they switched to 2-factor authorization and I hate it, so being logged in via phone is just easier for me.

Yeah I know I am doing something that could potentially harm me but I am simply not managing a second device just so I can access my work Outlook, MS Teams, and slack. My lazybones are much stronger than my brain.

Apparently Google can't even afford to give its in-office workers a desk anymore. Instead, they are telling people (including people who currently come in every day) to come in two days / week and share their desk with someone else for the other two days. I can only imagine how well this will work out for people who need ergonomic keyboards or other accommodations.

The headline is misleading. This applies specifically to their cloud unit, which is bleeding money and under some serious pressure to perform. This reads like a management of a struggling unit taking desperate, ill-advised measures to cut costs.

Was going to mention this too. You can install the work account as a work profile, which does segregate it to a separate user account on the device. No supposedly about it, the two profiles do not actually have visibility into each other, but the system can assist with sharing content between the two if you want it to. You can also tap the "work profile" button in the quick settings pulldown to turn it off completely when you want to not deal with it, and there's some level of ML stuff that will defer most notifications when you're outside of work hours.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/white-house-gives-agencies-30-days-impose-federal-device-tiktok-ban-2023-02-27/ WASHINGTON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - The White House on Monday gave government agencies 30 days to ensure they do not have Chinese-owned app TikTok on federal devices and systems. Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young told agencies in a guidance memorandum seen by Reuters they will be required to adjust information technology contracts to ensure vendors keep U.S. data safe by eliminating the use of TikTok on their devices and systems. TikTok has said the concerns are fueled by misinformation. The action does not affect the more than 100 million Americans who use TikTok on private or company-owned devices. Congress in December voted to bar federal employees from using the Chinese-owned video app on government-owned devices and gave the Biden administration 60 days to issue agency directives. The vote was the latest action by U.S. lawmakers to crack down on Chinese companies amid national security fears that Beijing could use them to spy on Americans. Federal Chief Information Security Officer Chris DeRusha said "this guidance is part of the Administration’s ongoing commitment to securing our digital infrastructure and protecting the American people’s security and privacy." Many government agencies including the White House, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, and the State Department had banned TikTok from government devices before the vote. The TikTok ban does not apply if there are national security, law enforcement or security research activities but agency leadership must approve these activities, Young's memo said. The memo said within 90 days, agencies must address any use of TikTok by IT vendors through contracts and with 120 days agencies will include a new prohibition on TikTok in all new solicitations. The federal contractor ban applies to equipment used in government work but does not "include any equipment acquired by a federal contractor incidental to a federal contract."

Needless to say, the ergonomic factor, as well as the idea of bringing everything home with me or using a locker, seems like an absolute hassle that does not make hybrid worth it. But I also kind of get not wanting to have dedicated desks for people who might come in at some point. For any company mandating a minimum amount of days in office though, it's down right moronic, but doesn't strike me as much different from the open concept office trash - just kind of the next step.

Samsung sent me a phone to push a on screen prompt on the rare event I actually log into their backend system as 2FA. It literally sits in a plastic baggie stapled to my pinboard. We are in teh process of ditching Samsung as a client, so that phone is going to disappear into my pocket.

Presumably that person's use of their unsecured home computer to hold Important Corporate Data was against policy, is there really anything a company can do on the IT/Security side if an employee with access to this kind of data is determined to gently caress up this badly? edit: As far as I can tell, the problem was an employee with access to a lot of stuff typed in an important password on a computer that had a keylogger running, right? withak fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Feb 28, 2023 |

I don't believe this was access to user data in decrypted form, it was access to the encrypted backup of the separately encrypted vaults, so they got access to vaults, but the vaults are still encrypted. We already knew that the vaults themselves were leaked, so this doesn't seem meaningfully different for users than the previous leak other than "lol wtf lastpass"

Oxyclean posted:My company is still allowing for full remote work, but if you're doing a hybrid thing, they want you to do a similar "hoteling" kind of thing where you don't have a dedicated desk/sign up ahead of time? They just don't want to say "hot desking" since that has negative implications of sharing your personal space with someone else when you're not using it. "Hoteling" implies a pleasant experience of being a worldly traveler to a multitude of (desk) locations!

Isn’t this sort of “no personal desk/sit wherever you want” the new thing to replace the open office though? A lot of work can be done on laptops these days and I know quite a few companies that just set up docking stations and monitors and let you sit (or stand) wherever.

There's more to having a desk than being able to sit down and sort of have your hardware set up. (Also I'm in a position where LOL if you'd expect me to work on a laptop). If I were (1) expected to come to the office regularly and (2) weren't given a permanent desk to sit in I'd go hotseat/hotel at the CEO's usually big, fancy, and permanent office until they get tired of it. It's not like they spend that much time there, either. Thankfully I'm remote and staying that way.

cat botherer posted:It's a great way to signal to GCP customers that it won't be around in a couple years. I'm surprised GCP has lasted as long as it has. I know two places personally that still use it, and both are transitioning to AWS because a) GCP sucks balls, and b) They don't think it will exist for much longer. GCP has much lower "sysadmin poo poo" overhead than the other 2 big options for getting started, but yeah, from enterprise planning perspective GCP makes sense only when Google is paying you, or when you have a load-bearing use case for BigQuery or 2-3 other GCP things that are simultaneously exclusive and finished.

GCP's revenues are growing at a decent rate, it's doubled in the past two years. It's losing money because it's still being aggressively invested in to continue that growth, not because it's inherently unprofitable. Nothing would be terribly surprising at this point, but GCP being shut down is up there.
