The only reason I have an antenna wired to my TVs is because that's the only thing they will use as a time source if I don't want to be setting the clock manually. No NTP here, thanks Samsung.Unexpected Raw Anime posted:New client bingo card: already checked off 'on-prem exchange,' 'windows server essentials,' 'please activate windows'. lookin good

My first job, my boss had his password hint set as "monitor" but he had a post-it on his desk that said Gautlwey321 and it always confused me until I realized his monitor was a Gateway and they hired me to proofread his emails cause he was a person with dyslexia

For those of us that work rotating shifts, time changes are even worse. Take an arbitrary schedule that already fucks your circadian rhythm into a cocked hat, and add two arbitrary time changes a year to that. Oh ya, and it’s a 24 hour operation, so you occasionally have to work an extra-long shift to cover for the day artificially stretching. Time changes are stupid. I don’t care what time you pick, but you only get to pick one.

I have worked at not two, but three different jobs where the standard BIOS password was letmein. No numbers-for-letters obfuscation, no caps, just there it was. At the third job they didn't even tell me, I tried it out of muscle memory pre-coffee one morning and was, to understate it, startled.

Our sysadmin rolled with it since we were just help desk, "yeah good enough" I had the opposite: At our rental cabin up in the mountains, my sister changed the WiFi password to some autogenerated password that was fifteen characters long and had a healthy mix of caps/lowers/numbers/specials that spelled no words. “It’s secure!” Yeah but it’s a pain in the rear end for people to enter and what are we trying to secure? The entire network is literally just a linksys router plugged into a cable modem. I reset it to BlackWhite123 and walked away. There. You all now know my mountain cabin’s WiFi password.

Hidden SSIDs generally only affect the default UI for joining a network, so that if you want to add a client you have to manually put in the details instead of picking it out of the list. If you have actual WiFi scanner software then you will still be able to detect the presence and SSID of the network, so it's not going to foil anyone who is actually looking out for hidden networks and knows what they're doing. I don't think the client needs to do any more work than usual once the network is already configured, although I could be forgetting something.

Sywert of Thieves posted:DST sucks and I want to stop changing my loving clocks twice a year. I don't care what the clock says when the sun rises or sets, either permanently on or off is fine. I never understood what changing the clocks was supposed to accomplish. Just change what time everyone goes in to work (not that that really matters anymore with so much shift work, WFH, gig work, etc.) if you really want more daylight at one end or another. Leave the damned clocks alone. sfwarlock posted:I live in San Francisco. If not for DST, dawn would be before 5 am for two months, mid-May to mid-July. If permanent DST, dawn would be after 8 am - after I get to work - for about three months, 11/23 - 2/13. eh, California isn't a real place anyway. but I really enjoyed the two weeks I was loaned to Mattel there. Let me tell you, being from TX, and having only experienced the Gulf waters, the ocean being cold was a literal shock.
