I had two users batteries "die" (instant 0%, not charging) at the same time last week, both have been running laptops off the DC power adapter and of course both are fully remote WFH 20+ hours away. It looks like both got pushed a windows update about that time but rolling back didnt help. ...Dell apparently decides to throttle the CPU down as much as possible to 22% max frequency due to that perceived missing battery. Did this happen to anyone else within the past few months? Anyone know of a way to force a Dell XPS 15 on Win 10 out of a power/battery saving mode? EDIT: I was able to force the clock speed to 100% by editing the registry, just need to figure out the battery issue but at least the show stopper is resolved.

Happiness Commando posted:Jira has a free tier for less than 10 users, but the downside is that you have to use Jira. This is what we use. IMO out-of-the-box Jira Cloud is pretty great, if a bit slow. Jira's big problem is with the people who gently caress it up by customizing it. If you're developing software with the basic ol scrum/kanban and need a backlog of tasks, some estimating and some WIP monitoring, free tier Jira is good.

Thanks Ants posted:Raspberry Pi-based systems might not be an option depending on when you need to have this ready for, have you seen the stock levels of them lately? I used an RPi based one, super duper easy. I forget what the “signage” OS I used was but it was up and running in 10 min. Never touched it except to change pictures it cycled

Count down to the routers being counterfeit and the firmware bricking them somehow.

For the $99 price the Microsoft modern ones have been very good, I get a week between charges, but the headphones aren’t noise canceling. Obvs designed for teams.

I can't think of a good solution to this problem: We have ~5 web browser based SaaS tools that are used a few times per day, but generally low usage. Theyre all in the $100/mo range. We have two people that use them. The SaaS makers will do things like force change passwords, require 2FA reauth, etc. if you're logged in from different locations and we work remotely. They dont really provide enough value to offer multiple seats. I need a way to share these. It can be kinda clunky and at least one person will have local access to it at all times. The best i've come up with so far: Have a local desktop set up with 2 KVMs such that Monitor 1 contains a Chrome tab, mouse 1, keyboard 1 and Monitor 2 contains a chrome tab of the same browser session with mouse 2, keyboard 2. Use one of the tools that allow two mice to control one computer like MouseMux. Figure out some keyboard shortcut for relaunching chrome if it closes. This seems VERY clunky. Also I have no idea the security reputations of networked KVM providers. Some get pretty pricey, the cheap ones I'm not sure I trust. Any good ideas? I feel like theres GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY

The Fool posted:Put a desktop in a closet and have everyone rdp to it. $100/mo is nothing. $1000/mo is closer to the actual cost for all of them, and there are some we're holding back on for this exact reason. The problem with RDP is theyre not sharing a browser session, so even though you're from the same computer, you're two different users of that computer. I believe this will still trigger the issue though admittedly haven't tried it. I'll give that a try now.

The Fool posted:Let's say 5 applications for 5 users at $100/mpu. I appreciate people ITT looking out for the interests of the company ethically, legally, contractually, etc. I can't go into the considerations driving the use case. The goal is 1 account w/2 users in different locations across 5 or so web based services. These services all have usage limits (e.g. 50 credits per month) that these 2 users will be well under when combined.

Bitching about experiences with phone systems: I had an awful experience with 8x8 whereby they'd fail to ring through roughly 10-50% of inbound calls for their all software system. This was 2019 and was only detected when a customer eventually bitched at us about it via email. We then found error logs, about had a heart attack, and switched to teams. Also with 8x8, we had a credit card expire and they cancelled our phone service completely without any notice. Like, didnt even both emailing oh hey you're behind on payments nothing. 1 month late? Cut off. Teams has been better though it was also not without its inbound call dropping on connect issues. This was all dont through teams client on Win 10, no on prem, no desk phones at all. We had to build an MS graph integration to monitor for dropped calls and call people back. After ~2 months of randomly failing to connect calls, it was traced to one of the forwarding numbers, set through the Admin Portal so they should have validation FFS. on one of our call queues not being E.164 formatted. Fixing this resolved it. Even with that headache I rather like teams.

Short version: What are the best resources for learning networking/network security so I can be confident I’ve made our shop as secure as practicable? Happy to invest 40-120 hours. Longer: I’m a Mech e and self taught programmer who set up our office network by googling each setting in the router and choosing the more secure one, blocking internet on any copiers/IoT. I’ve got a few hundred hours of wrangling various AWS connections but again all through Google. Needs are changing, I’m switching us to a UniFi dream router (current routers last firmware update was 2020) and the settings are more complicated than I can feel comfortable setting plus we need to add some insecure IoT devices behind home assistant. I’ve watched YouTubr tutorials on setting up VLANs with UniFi and am comfortableish with kali/nmap to see what’s publicly open (only a voip port from the ISP) but feel like I don’t understand the base concepts to ensure insecure devices aren’t tunneling out/phoning home. I want to make sure the home assistant RPi is the only IoT that can talk to the internet or scan the IoT network and that each of the IoT devices is treated as local access only and only from the Home Assistant. So, what should I study to make sure this is set up correctly? CarForumPoster fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Oct 20, 2023 |

Good point. We autoupdate, use LastPass, use Rippling to manage devices which handles a few thing like bitlocker and device management, and have a bunch of mail rules that do decent of at blocking the bulk of those types of emails but stuff still gets through. Thank you for the MS365 Premium tip. We use 365 Business Standard currently, it looks like business premium is less than $10/user/mo so thats certainly an option. Our users are mostly remote but we have some one drive files that sync so there’s still a vector in once one gets infected. That said I still wanna learn the details of networking/network security. The “IoT” is part of a machine and is known to have glaringly bad CVEs. Still, certain notifications/data need to be sent out over the internet and we’re gonna use home assistant to do that, so going to network school is still a prime option.

You build them from a spreadsheet and the source of that sheet can be a Google sheet, bigquery table and a few others. You’ll prob build what you want in about 30 min.
