Shame Boy posted:that reminds me, we once had a customer that demanded the ability to log in (over the network!) using just their badges and no password or anything else. no problem, they must be smart card badges and we can just use PKI right? my work badge is a piece of plastic with just my name, title, and a low-res image of the company logo that you can probably find an exact .jpg of on our public website. no chips, no barcodes, no photo. this was instituted because some manager(s) with enough clout are obsessed with mass shootings. so yeah now we have to watch an awful training video every year that instructs us to take down an active shooter if we can't escape or hide oh btw like 80% of people with this type of badge forget to bring it when they come to the central office

Shame Boy posted:how is that going to stop an active shooter because then we know who is an employee and who isn't, of course. also please note that the building has uncontrolled exterior doors during business hours and has multiple common areas that all tenants can access (there are at least 4 different companies with offices throughout the building). package and food delivery people roam the shared halls freely oh btw i just remembered the training video has a bit where a dorky looking guy is awkwardly holding a fire extinguisher and hiding around the corner of his cubicle. yeah just hangin out in the office this afternoon, couldn't run from this shooter dude so im gonna wait til he walks by and clock him Solid Snake style. this will totally work because i learned the training and have COMMITTED TO MY ACTIONS just like the video said

Partycat posted:That is what they teach you though ? Get out and run away. If you can't, shelter and secure yourself. If you can't hide and secure yourself or the threat is now threatening you, then you do what you gotta do. yeah but the video presented it with the same soundtrack and voiceover as a trailer for an action movie also the bad guy was using a pump action shotgun

I don't think it's public data everywhere in the country. The only campaign contacts I have ever gotten (Minnesota) started coming after I went to a party caucus in 2008. I only get mailers from that party. Maybe some generic voter data is public but I don't think I've ever been contacted by any other party or wedge group

I feel like theres another story there that we will probably never hear and i want some conspiracy theories about it i noticed some security folks on twitter kept taking shots at bloomberg for a while but bloomberg just..... ignored them

my comp sci professors said back in the 90s they would get emails that were intended for a similarly named university in another country. at first they would helpfully forward the mail, but once the general public got on the internet it would have taken up all their time so they started just deleting them

~Coxy posted:this should default to off now that everyone has 4G with decent data caps the thing that boggles my mind is that there have been third-party android apps that manage your wifi radios silently and efficiently for years, but the ios behaviors for the same task are garbage. the open-source android apps record the cell-tower and/or GPS data around where your saved wifi networks are, and then just straight up turn the radio off if you aren't near them, which is a great. it improves your security and it saves battery too. the ios equivalents to this are just awful part of this is ofc the fact that android lets you download any old sketchy app to do important system functions like "turn wifi on and off" but c'mon timb!! your poo poo is garbage over here
