ChubbyThePhat posted:Why is the de-facto argument of people who don't care about privacy, "I have nothing to hide"? It's the most tiring conversation to have since literally ever. Because they are unthinking and/or stupid. Usually the best answer is to show them something they should have hidden, but that takes effort and is probably illegal in a lot of examples.

Uh, stupid question for someone who's not familiar with the issues, why is being acquired by Cisco bad, aside from "giant company acquires another good, small company and ruins it"? We just switched to Duo and F5 BigIP for VPN where I work, so this may be relevant to me.

Sounds like Cisco is a fine example of business know-how. By which I mean a bunch of money grubbing assholes who aren't particularly good at what they purport to do. Guess they're really good at kickbacks and free lunches, 'cuz I see they're poo poo all over the place.

Gee, I wonder why I keep seeing all those reports of “we need nurses, not enough people are going into nursing!” Could it be because you keep making GBS threads on them and not paying them properly? Holy poo poo on requiring a personal laptop to be used, much less with patient info. What if she didn’t have a laptop at all?

gourdcaptain posted:So umm... apparently my parents were told today that the reason their DSL wasn't working according to their ISP, incredibly awful provider but their only option, was that I'd changed the login password on the modem/router hybrid they were provided when it was set up from the default, and if that's changed they can't update the firmware on the modems. I had AT&T U-verse and can say that they used custom firmware on 2-wire routers (in my case) and would update just whenever. It also didn’t have features they the model of router should have. However, there was no problem with me changing the login to my own, so I’ve no idea what your parents’ provider is doing.

Our password policy, and my previous company‘s forbade the previous 6 passwords, and AD enforced it, but I have no idea how AD does it, as I am just a lowly computer toucher. Which policy, I might add, just results in the same password + a number being used, and the number just iterates until it gets to “6” in our case, and going back to “1”.

wolrah posted:I've wondered for quite a while why it's still a thing or why it ever was. I haven't yet come up with a single case where having a different application be able to pop up and steal focus from what you're currently interacting with is the best way to achieve something. I definitely agree that at minimum it should be a permission-gated thing that defaults to no, but I'd rather it just not be a thing at all. While we're asking for impossible Windows features, why is it, in the Year Of Our Lord 2019, in the age of at-least-1080p displays, Microsoft cannot make loving properties sheets larger than a postage stamp, or resizable at all?

We were using Zoom enterprise-wide before the apocalypse, and have been happy with it. They've made changes as security concerns have come up quickly enough to satisfy our InfoSec, and we're an InfoSec/IT company. Thank God, we also were already issuing laptops to every user, and had a decent VPN infrastructure in place. Once the WFH hit, we just beefed up the VPN, then fixed a few relatively small issues, and kept trucking.

Ynglaur posted:Can I give you an address and have you ship everything there? Also what kind of business does so well that it throws away hardware constantly? Any? Hardware becomes less cost-effective to use and support when warranties are up, and software has outstripped the capabilities of the hardware (which is continual - devs tend to program for current hardware.) Now, I'm desktop support, so that's what I really know. We purchase 3-year warranties on our laptops, so we refresh them every three years when the warranty is up, though we do hang on to the machines not purchased by the user (we offer an opportunity for the user to buy their previous machine at a very nice price) for another year or so to use as loaners, temp machines, and, occasionally, spare parts. To be fair, we don't "throw it away" per se. We send it to an e-waste company that will sort through it and repurpose or recycle as appropriate.

DrDork posted:But yeah, MBA and related people whose mantra is that the only legitimate path for a business is the one that most perfectly maximizes profits, regardless of anything else, are a huge cause of all sorts of stupid socially consequential problems like this. Launch them all into the sun and we'd all be better off, even if it would mean the stock prices didn't rise that extra 0.5% this year. They're also the dingleberries that decided JIT for *everything* was the way to go, and nothing could ever go wrong with supply infrastructure. There's no way, for example, that there could be a once-in-a-century global pandemic affecting production literally everywhere, or a giant cargo ship could get wedged into a vital shipping canal. Absolutely no need to stockpile anything, ever.
