a non-it person has had the built-in domain\administrator account credentials and used it to have that user logged on to a couple of workstations to pilot some new software that we're migrating to and i just found out about it. apparently my boss didn't think it was that big a deal, but we've had people from this company remote into these machines and do ~whatever~ and who knows what they've actually done. gonna bring this lil incident up to my boss's boss because this is insanely stupid

Why, exactly, do you think that the max tweet length is the same size as an SMS message?
SMS is 160, tweets are 140. 15 characters for username, plus certain special "control" characters at the beginning of messages like for dms, etc

This is implementation dependent SMS* supports 140 bytes. 160 chars is possible, but you have to encode as 7-bit chars to do so.

I'm just gonna have her use this Office 365 encrypted portal thing. It would be cool to, in steps, roll out PKI for encryption and then later work on sender verification and yadda yadda but I'll save all that for another day.


I had to look this one up.
i had the hardest time trying to get our customers to use the office 365 secure mail portal, because the link to the encrypted portal is inside of an attachment, and people are way too stupid to open that attachment. so we went with mimecast. mimecast is pretty good

the GSM 7 bit character set for SMS is not the same as the ASCII 7 bit character set


the basic 26 english letters stay in the same places, as does some punctuation, but others move and most of the control codes get fully replaced by symbols of some sort or are shifted about

there's also the need to use various combinations with the escape code to represent more needed characters for certain languages or punctuation
okay, it's seven bits. that's what i thought. thanks, fishmech.

yes, you need rm -f to get rid of the directories otherwise it will complain about there being directories. -r deletes files in subdirectories but will still complain about, like, /usr being a directory

so when you see an obfuscated credit card number on a receipt, you think it's the printer's job to translate numbers to asterisks?

if a receipt printer has a way to talk to it over the public internet do you really believe the pos terminal itself does not
it's very likely, because these are just dumb printers with like port 9100 or whatever open. opening up that port to the world is probably the easiest way for the pos system to be able to talk to it, because whoever installed it was also a pos

i was talking about the POS installation as a whole, not just the printer itself

I mean sure a single receipt printer living somewhere not near a register has no requirements
you should check out the twitter that was linked a few posts up then because it's actually a guy who's owned pos printers, specifically, and not pos installations as a whole as you seem to believe
