Whenever I get back into the office and can talk to other people about this, this will be the plan. I am genuinely tired of these dumb fuckers, they will only understand when they see how loving impossible it is.

I have been off since Dec.1 and am literally on the other side of the world. Emergencies can be sorted without me and I'll be back in January if not. Not working on vacation time should be far more normal than it is.

It’s not the first or the last time this happened. Welcome to the internet-connected car world. Every time the update popup happens on my car, it’s like spinning the drum before playing Russian roulette.

Yep, I can defer it to another time. Handing my car to the dealer is a sure fire way to getting it back worse than if I do the upgrades myself tho.

More so I was thinking I'd just park in their lot then run the firmware update, in the event it bricked. Saves yourself the tow. Of course I don't know how long the updates take, how frequent, and how likely a brick like this is. Just some musings from someone who drives a car with manual crank windows.

teethgrinder posted:Tangential, an employee on vacation joined a work call on Thursday because he "was bored" and I just mocked him the entire hour trying to get him to go do something, anything but work. There is a meeting this week with the board and various VIPs. I don't know why its this week, but it means that I have to go into the office this week when my plan was to not. But the grim part is, one of the VIPs is on vacation in Hawaii this week. So he has join the call as well. I think Hawaii is 4 or 5 hours behind us. So not only is he joining a meeting on his vacation, he has to wake up butt early in the morning to do so.

On mine, it's the absolute exact opposite -- if you can even see Tesla service within a calendar year, or avoid "wheel struts are supposed to be broken ticket closed" and crickets afterward There's an awful lot of freaky stupid stuff happening on my planet.

Arquinsiel posted:It'll be basically impossible to distinguish a randomised mouse jiggler from a repetitive task on any timescale long enough to gather proper data for the randomisation. So... the smart thing to do here is flag every device for using mouse jigglers. Yup, massive numbers of false positives are the way to go here. I'd also recommend finding a way to have all the executives who aren't supposed to be on the report keep showing up on the report. Blame HR.

Get fancy and plan for different sets of them, so you can "tune" it back and forth forever and never get better than 50% accuracy.

Edit: I guarantee you will have at least one person where the conversation goes as follows  We've detected that you're using an unapproved device to keep your machine active. Care to explain? What the hell are you talking about? Your device hasn't had a mouse movement in hours but is being kept awake somehow That's because I don't use a mouse So you admit you're not doing your job? No. I work in a terminal emulator all day and I use keyboard shortcuts when I have to get around the desktop. I literally do not have a mouse attached to this computer. Uhh... You're fired?  Enjoy your routers not working because I'm the only one who knows how to configure them, fuckstick.

Seems like a good opportunity to have your privacy officer or CTO throw a shitfit over the security implications and kill the project dead. Alternatively, recommend the most expensive software packages and kill it that way. With luck, you can turn the whole thing into a months long procurement process

I assume you are in the US so it being a massive invasion of privacy might be that much of an issue. But if you are working for a big company I’m sure that states like NY or CA might have some relevant state legislation that would ban this kind of thing. If your company employs people in the EEA then this is a major no no

Not that I think this whole endeavor is a good idea (managers need to worry about work done, not micromanaging people), but how in the world would this be an invasion of privacy? It's dumb lovely policy, but "mouse movements" are not private information. A company could scrape your screen every second and monitor activity that way and it still wouldn't be an invasion of privacy. There's no expectation of privacy on company owned equipment. They could install a drat keylogger on your computer and still be completely within the law. The only situation where that would be an issue is the storage and access controls on that info due to the sensitive business nature. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Dec 29, 2023 |

An employee in Europe cannot sign away any legal privacy protection, so anything that actively monitors user activity even with written consent is flat out illegal. As in the DPO will crawl up your rear end so much your new work title will be "hand puppet". Stuff like URL filtering log will require anonymization or heavily logged access control, if you jokingly say "Jane is wasting so much time going to Facebook" by glancing at XDR logs, you will be proper hosed.

How in the world can you handle stuff like data exfiltration? If you aren't able to go into the logs and say "Bob in data science uploaded (or attempted to upload) 1 million SSN numbers with names and addresses to his Google drive account" you would get assfucked by the US government.

And the DPO is marching to the tune set by the Workers' Councils. They tell us things like "you cannot automatically collect data that can be used in a disciplinary action". IT likes it because it helps us discourage solving people problems with technology. Leadership likes it because the less data we have on people, the lower our exposure to sanctions under the GDPR; those go up to 4% of your global turnover or a cool $1.5 billion for us. e. I don't actually know how we handle data exfiltration. I can think of several good reasons why I don't. It's probably some deeply restricted, heavily access-controlled data store that most of us don't even know exists. mllaneza fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Dec 29, 2023 |
