Methylethylaldehyde posted:I've been keeping an eye on that, and that kind of lockin always seemed super skeezy to me. Sure, we'll sell you the item, but we own all the embedded software it needs to run. Imagine if any time you changed the tires on your car you had to call up Ford or Toyota to get a New Tire unlock code, only $299.95! It's pretty much already like that if you want to do anything involving the onboard electronics.

wolrah posted:Kinda makes me wonder why the cryptolocker types haven't seized on this, because it's probably a safe assumption that any ancient machines still in use today contain years and years worth of data and/or software that isn't properly backed up. Because then they'd have to write their own crypto library instead of using the one built in to modern Windows (I assume).

The Fool posted:I haven't stayed in the office past 5:30 in 2 years, I've earned this poo poo.  Our office turns to a ghost town at 5pm as most people leave for the day. Only the west coast support team stays and that's only for another two hours. People will actually ask if something's broke if you're staying later than normal.

you ate my cat posted:While gearing up for an unrelated project, we discovered that we don't actually own a large number of business-critical phone numbers. We disconnected them after a move about 2 years ago, and apparently the whole thing just fell through the cracks. They continue to work because the provider didn't disconnect them properly, but we don't pay for them and they may stop working at any moment. Sounds like you found a way to make some money on the side.

The Macaroni posted:The weird thing about it is that customer confidence would actually be boosted by the vendor saying, "You're totally right, this is not working and we're going to make it right within two business days. Oh look, we did it in 2 hours! Have a great day!" It's not like they openly report their incident metrics. For this year we decided to stop doing quarterly releases so we could push out bug fixes to customers more quickly. Here at the start of the second quarter, guess how many releases we've actually pushed out. At least I'm not the one who makes the final release so when customers ask why bugs aren't fixed yet, I can just give them his contact info.

We use the due date field for dependencies in project tickets, ie. the contract goes live on this date so this ticket needs to be completed before then. They don't get much use for support tickets.

Bob Morales posted:The gas station down the road has aluminum bottles of domestic beer, 2 for $2 sitting in a big cooler full of ice. Right by the checkout. Sometimes when I'm walking around the office drinking an Arizona tea I get double takes because people think I'm drinking a tallboy at work. Then they lament it's against company policy to drink in the office. What I'm saying is you'll be fine.

nullfunction posted:Our policy is that if you're drinking at the office you can't work on production systems and if you get too drunk the company will pay for a taxi/rideshare to get you home safely. Before we were bought out, it was like that. But since our parent company owns a ton of warehouses and employs warehouse people, drivers, etc, they just have a blanket ban on alcohol on company property. Luckily there's a bar across the street that is not company property.

We just have two host names, one functional which changes via load balance or master/slave and one that is the specific machine. Like "database" points to the master db and "daring" and "diligent" are db01 and db02.

You don't need 16 folders deep with descriptive names and 4 digit prefixes for sorting and 200+ character file names! You don't! No one does! It's madness!! ARRGH!! Even better when there's more folders than files so it's just making things harder to get to without improving anything.

chin up everything sucks posted:I have a bad habit of pronouncing words as I read them, and being terrible with peoples names. But I also don't care what people call me. Names are just a nice easy way to indicate who you are speaking about or to, making them more important than that is just kind of silly. As long as someone isn't trying to insult you with how you say it, it doesn't hurt anyone to just roll with it. So when someone corrects you, you ignore them?

Eikre posted:No, the password protection on a ZIP file is just the mutual password of each of the files it contains, which are actually encrypted in AES-CBC. But you can open that container to list the files it contains and replace them without knowing that password. And I suppose if you actually have several smaller documents and you can start making guesses at what the data looks like based on file extensions, it may actually be cryptographically feasible to break that encryption outright. Not something I would spend time on, but maybe someone already published some rainbow tables. Yeah, locking an office document isn't encrypting it, it's just a weak read only flag.

Why would you ever tell anyone who doesn't understand scripting that you scripted something?
