loving over rich white people is one of the few remaining things rich white people can go to jail for.

I'm considering using Passwordstate for the IT dept at work, to get away from USB sticks, safes and outdated printouts. Anyone got good/bad experiences, or alternatives?

Am I the only one who's had more problems getting hardware working in Windows than Linux in the last few years?

Yes.

From an infosec perspective, who would even give a gently caress what's on the webcam unless you're hoping to catch someone naked? For real world espionage, wouldn't screengrabs, network traffic interception, keyloggers and listening to the microphone to know what's going on in the room be much more valuable? If I want to know what you look like, I can look you up on social media.

I may have two machines that are affected by the Dell driver issue, but they've both long since had their drives wiped and stock Win10 installed on them. Do I need to download the util and run it on them anyway?

And no, throwing the machines away is Not An Option.

Do you work with me? Because I have a couple of coworkers whose only option when there is something they don't know the answer to is "THROW IT AWAY!"

Can't set the correct resolution on an old monitor on a Windows 10 computer? Oh poo poo, we have 50 of those monitors, better throw them all away!

Can't PXE-boot a laptop on the first try? Throw it away!

Can't find the LAN dongle for a laptop without an ethernet port? Computer is useless now, get rid of it!

I applied for Cybersec Analyst position and got it (been a sysadmin for years and always security-first, but never actually done an infosec job). I was hyped for it from the beginning but then when my future manager called me to tell me that I got it and what to expect he mentioned that I'd be enrolled in a couple SANS courses, some SEIM training, I'd have to get my CISSP at some point, what my colleagues specialize in and mentioned that one of them has a SANS Challenge Coin.

Since then imposter syndrome has hit hard and now I'm wondering if I am even capable of doing this to their level. I'm 2 years younger than the manager and at least 5 years older than everyone else on my team. I haven't even started and I'm already feeling behind an unable to catch up. There is so much stuff I don't know how to do, and even more that I only have a general understanding of.

I work with hundreds if not thousands of infosec people, and none of them know poo poo about computers. If I want a 72 page Powerpoint about why having your firewall turned on is a good thing according to the latest security framework they learned about a conference they are great. If I ask them if the firewall is actually turned on, they look at me like they are a goldfish and I'm asking them to explain how an automatic transmission works.

Is the built-in password manager in Chrome OK? I'm a basic bitch, and from the user experience standpoint it works fine for me. I have 2FA on my google account, and a passphrase on my Chrome data sync.
