I'm just struggling (besides warranty) to see what an $800 desk offers over like a $200-250 one. Then again my wife is adamant that we keep the desk 48" wide so some of the cheaper Amazon models are more in my house. They're obviously not as good long term, but like $250 for one vs $800... chairs make sense but a desk is mostly just a desk for me, I almost never write on it. The only thing that I really like about the branded desks is the made-for-them keyboard tray. I get shoulder pain from poor keyboard/mouse ergo. I guess, if I was WFH full time or thought to do this last April, hell yeah. But just as I creep back toward the office and start my new job I'm not sure I need $800 worth of desk even.

The more research I’m doing the more it seems Varonis is basically useless once we move all our stuff to sharepoint. 365 audit system is better but most of the documentation is for a older version so the only way to find the right info is to already navigate to the right panel and then click the “learn about” button so hope you don’t need help finding the panel lol. The hard part is going to be double and triple checking there isn’t any reliance for the admin that uses active directory on Varonis which I have no idea since that guy is a contractor for a different company that the contractor I work for.

O365 audit log ui sucks, either ship the audit logs to log analytics or get really familiar with the powershell

Love having home ISP issues. Doubly love being told the service call will be there from 8-10 and then get a call at 10:30 saying it's a network issue and that a home service call will not be necessary. I'm glad my boss is understanding of this but I expressed with urgency the need for my Internet to be in working order to my ISP since we need to be available remotely.

I get that it's frustrating but a home user ISP doesn't really care about uptime, and if your employer needs you to be available then it's probably worth them giving you an LTE hotspot as a backup or whatever.

Explaining to someone who lives in the boonies that no, your spouse and kid can't also be using their LTE hotspot while they video conference tends to be an experience "I live out here because its so cheap" I mean...guess why its so drat cheap to live in the middle of loving nowhere.

For our call center, we've been allowing people to work remote. Part of the hiring process is proving your internet is 10mbps minimum. Doesn't filter a ton out if you have 3 kids watching netflix on different tablets, but it helps.

Yep. Our work provided phones have hotspot enabled for this exact situation.

You have limitations on how far back you can go on the UI versus power shell. Being able to pick the exact fields you want without Redoing it every time is definitely the play. To be super honest the UI gives me the impression that they really didn’t develop it much.

I’ll take a look at how to do that in powershell then. Yeah the UI isn’t great, but Varonis is pretty atrocious. If there is a way to replace Varonis though with a script I need to look into it, that’s basically my entire job as of today.

My soon to be ex boss just asked if I had any suggestions for how write the job posting (to hire my replacement) to more accurately select for successful candidates. I want to help, but there's no good, business friendly way to suggest to candidates that there's zero governance, every product team is its own unique dumpster fire, and you will regularly be expected to wait for weeks on end for the world's easiest blockers to be resolved after everyone ignores you warning about them. What's the word to describe a work environment that has all the dysfunctions of startups amd also simultaneously the dysfunctions of mega-enterprises?

I sometimes despise the Infosec side of our industry because it doesn't understand how to evaluate talent. Your average infosec grognard middle manager is going to look at a resume and only measure a candidate by its infosec experience with an infosec title. They don't probably respect the infrastructure and other ops experience a candidate can bring to an infosec position. This is how you end up with infosec folks with decades of experience, but little to no functional skillsets. Its a broken cycle of sadness. I had a previous coworker trying to get into a cloud security position and was using me as a reference. I just had this turd call me and tell me his apprehension of hiring my guy because of how "light" his resume was on infosec. "I was looking for someone with 10 years of infosec experience and he only has 2". I was attempting to hype my dude up as best I could but I also inquired how large his team was, etc. Turns out he has a large infosec team but nobody that knows anything about the cloud. He couldn't put two and two together himself and I didn't want to cause waves just in case. I am going to be employed forever because my industry is 80% do-nothing morons.

flip a coin. if heads: mandating 30 day password rotation policies if tails: forcing engineers to install an A/V with no exceptions that makes every visual studio build take over 40 hours and thrash the drive until it dies if it lands on its side and stays upright: reverse engineering for fun, breaking anticheats, telling people about what horrid invasive crap a program is doing
