In a zoom meeting where they had the idea of putting a condenser mic in the middle of the room so the whole room could be heard but the mic is so sensitive that it spikes everytime anyone in the room talks lol. This is terrible.

This sounds like some exec tried to cheap their conference room with standard desktop mics, got pissed at the sound quality, and instead of doing the right thing and hiring a sound designer sent the intern to guitar center.

You need all sorts of beam forming tricks and processing to make conference room audio work. I have a very small amount of past AV experience, mainly in live stuff, and commissioned a Yamaha Adecia system the other day. Everything is PoE and uses Dante for the audio routing, it's pretty much plug-and-play, is Teams certified, and when you have it all configured it plays a load of sounds through the speakers to EQ the room, like Sonos speakers and your home AV receiver does. 10/10 would buy again. Also the C-level like having audio hardware with a Yamaha logo on, it makes it feel like whatever happens your choice of equipment wasn't the problem.

Currently trying to explain to someone in sales that if a prospective client doesn't know what they want, doesn't know what they have, and aren't prepared to pay for the time needed to first find out what they have and then spend time with them to figure out what they want, that it's not actually possible to provide a quote.

Having worked for a software company that dealt heavily with federal contracts and bids, you can absolutely close 7 figure deals where the customer has no idea what they want or why.

My ISP is doing a very helpful "network upgrade" in my area so of course my service has gone to poo poo. Been offline for a few hours already today and trying to stall telework long enough to avoid having to drive somewhere with wifi. Combine that with a lovely cell signal in my house and you have the recipe for Utter Boredom.

I've been entertaining myself by applying to jobs, in a not-really-interested-just-looking-thanks kind of way and I am completely gobsmacked by how many job application portals want my home addres and social security number. Seriously? You want me to give you all this personal detail over a web portal just to apply to your stupid company? In what world do you think that it's okay to collect SSNs from potential applicants? You can have that info when I am hired and am filling out my tax information. Not one minute before.

I'm working on a site that is going to be a nightmare for, well basically everything, but especially for audio in their conference room. They want open ceilings everywhere, only limited suspended ceiling tiles. They also don't want visible cables. We can't run things in the floor as the floor slab is very thin, and the max conduit is 3/4". Can't wait for the AV company to figure this out.

Also, every single site scrapes my resume differently and none of them get it all correct. Sometimes they invent words that I didn't even have in there, or get dates entirely wrong, and sometimes it's "just" dropping half of the jobs and putting the other half's descriptions in the wrong place. My resume isn't even complicated! I specifically made it as easy to scrape as possible!

This is the exact same type of filter. These companies are deliberately selecting for workers who will do arbitrary work without question and for little to no compensation. They don't want employees that think, or that are capable of reason, or anything like that. They want obedient and cheap, or at least desperate and cheap.

I’ve loving had it with the lovely infosec engineer that all he does is fling tickets over the wall from Nessus/rapid7/etc scans. He sent one to the desktop team to gently caress with tls and the cipher suites. Thankfully they only rolled it out to a pilot group of ~100 laptops, because it entirely hosed up the ability of the machines to communicate with azure ad for auth, intune, outlook, everything after reboot. Two days of my life gone helping the desktop team troubleshoot and getting them sorted out to push a config back to default on the machines that hadn’t rebooted yet to get hosed. Does this motherfucker show up to help in any way shape or form? Not at all. gently caress him.

What pisses me if about all these infosec people is that they just say: you can’t do that! But they never suggest a solution to the problem people have been solving using the “forbidden” thing. So when we suggest an alternative way of doing things the answer to if it will be OK or not is: implement it and we will rescan, if you can fool the scanner it’s OK From our monitoring we can see all the weird requests the scanner sends and it seems to be the same things in the same order every time. We are so loving close to just using that to know when to run in “compliant mode” and then when the scanner stops go back to normal operations.

Make your application include a header with every response named "private-key" with a randomly generated 256 bit value. Bonus points if you can prove that it's not actually related to security at all, but that your downstream stuff relies on it and you can't change it for legacy reasons.
