Under t shirt here. V necks I don’t care for. And yeah you can’t do anything physical while wearing an Oxford or button up shirt without something underneath is going to be pit stain city, which is always super obvious and kills any professional look. You can have sleeves rolled up, hand covered with filth and dirt on your head and look more professional than a clean pressed outfit with pit stains.

Show up covered in oil and you're a manly man who just got done with manly work. Show up shiny and dripping, and you're an unprofessional slob. Though also, I think we're also ignoring the real losers of the undershirt battle here: the absolute unequivocal social requirement that women in the office wear a bra. We guys could go on debating our undies for days, but go bouncing around the office and you'd legit run the risk of HR calling you into a 1:1 meeting about professional attire / how you present yourself. I do not think it'd be considered acceptable for more than a one-off thing in literally anywhere I've ever worked.

I tried changing my password through the windows ctrl alt del screen, tried a few different passwords, and was told none of them met the minimum requirements. After talking to IT it turns out that I had to go to a separate internal website to change my password and that's where I finally saw the new requirements, and the only reason all the other passwords I tried didn't work was because of the 15 character minimum This may or may not be related to the problem that you ran into, but the Active Directory error message shown to the user for "your new password matches one of your previous passwords" erroneously states that "your new password does not meet complexity requirements."

I believe it does the same if you try to change your password too soon after the last change. Also a word on password chat: the security thinking has moved into pass phrases over pass words, and it's way easier. Also password rotation is obsolete, they shouldn't expire, and MFA everything. For example, most password requirements are 3/4 from uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. We all know things about our lives and regular human sentences are easier for us to type than weird crypto poo poo, so pick something you know. Supposing you have a fluffy cat named Max, "MycatMaxisfluffy!" is a regular easy sentence to type, 17 characters, and satisfies the 3/4 requirement. If you have a 4/4 requirement or frequent password expiration just toss a number at the end and increment it as necessary.

Yeah our passwords have to be something like 20+ characters but they only rotate once a year, the logic here is that if you rotate often then everybody just adds a 1,2,3 increment to the end of their 9 character one so it's minimal change so forcing a longer one that you dont change often is better against brute force attacks. You can still just add 1,2, 3 at the end though. e: neither method is proof against getting hit in the legs with a 2x4 until you hand it over.

So, uh, how is this nationwide cell service failure (at least AT&T and possibly some others) going to affect everyone’s work? I’m in Nashville for work with no service and have connected through WiFi, but I have to drive to KY and would hope there’s no issues getting from place to place. At least I believe I can use Google maps in offline mode. I have a work iPad that connects through AT&T that also has no service. I have to do a presentation with that later today and either hope that cell service comes back or I can find a useable WiFi. How is a multiple hour (per news reports started at ~4am) nationwide cell service failure a thing that can happen in 2024?

I found this out because I was using my phone at the time to look at private-time images and as soon as a download had finished, my phone poo poo itself. Cue me making GBS threads myself, going "oh lord, its finally happened, I done gave my phone a virus  " and doing full antivirus and malwarebytes and the like scans on my poor phone. It turned out to be because of some core OS file that T-Mobile had hosed up and couldn't just un-gently caress because who knows why, but the timing could not have been more perfect.

The cell network they are relying on has an outage. If you bring that point up with whoever even asks you about your use of wifi, they might see it differently.

Their internal WiFi network apparently worked back there, but the guest access one didn’t and they wouldn’t allow me to use the internal one.  while it may seem crazy it happens sometimes

My wife wants to increase her hours at the hospital. Goes to her manager, has a good chat and tells her to email the request so it’s in writing and can get it approved. She had kept her hours shorter to help with the kiddo, has had great reviews the last two years. The department also struggles to hire more folks to keep up with churn. Should be plenty of availability to go back to full time. Two days later, replies with a terse “sorry, we can’t do it. Ask your scheduler for more hours.” She’s now spending the rest of the day looking for a different job instead being happy to have the comfort of the promised increase in hours (and pay) gently caress Jeff!

I signed up to be a mentor because I thought it would be interesting plus it's CPD or whatever, they assigned three people to it as a group which I actually like as an idea. Set up the intro, one cancels at the last minute, the other two hadn't read the handbook or done the "homework", good start. One of the bits the guidance said to do in advance was a diversity/identity dimension profile and mine is like if you went into Oblivion and clicked "default character model, easy mode". Straight white male, university degree, no disabilities, lol.

Arquinsiel posted:That's the poo poo right there I'm exclusively stateside and none of that applies. That being said, if someone checks the "no" box they just don't push the button on their computers for "use biometrics" and instead use a PIN, which is both in the text and also how we do it. I wasn't even talking about Windows Hello when talking about passwordless, I was talking about phone sign on, which collects no personal information and just uses the MS Authenticator. Edit - just saw that the original post specified fingerprint/face when they said passwordless, missed that the first time. It's handy but I absolutely would not require it and it's not what I was talking about.
