hah we haven't even gotten completely shifted over to a 60 day password rotation yet. in four years I look forward to not changing my password all the drat time.

smart-card based 2fa works pretty great though and make my life so much easier.

supposedly at work we have 90 day password rotation enforced except i've never had to rotate any of my passwords ever so uh

Microsoft should go the apple route and only execute signed code without a prompt and force some kind of manual intervention for anything unsigned

i find apple's whole "if it's not signed right you have to go into the settings screen to explicitly allow it using a button that nothing in the denial dialog tells you exists" incredibly frustrating and therefore a real good solution for normies, good on you apple

Just keep all your passwords in a word file on your desktop titled "passwords" like my dad.

i needed the root password to this new public-internet-facing VM someone had set up and noticed the guy had a habit of mailing passwords in emails (there were several earlier in the email chain) so i ask him to give me the password another way that's more secure than email

he just sends it to me on slack and tells me "oh good idea suggesting we be secure and not put this in an email!" :negative:

with iphones they removed the headphone jack to save .01mm of space (and also to sell you air budzzzzz)

with androids, all of the nexus phones are great handsets until they mysteriously break a year later because there's a design flaw in the power button (n5) or just straight up refuse to boot one day (n5x). the closest manufacturer that is aosp adjacent that doesn't make dumpster fire handsets is oneplus.

The open source nature of Android means that Google can recommend and strongly suggest, but ultimately cannot fully control what OEMs do, which is unfortunate for end users.

i wouldn't mind this so much if I could just put a stock install on the phone or whatever via a process that's not "download some skeevy poo poo from xda-forums"

i'd think they could do something with the branding at least, like you can't use the Android name or call your phone a Certified Google Android(tm) Compatible Device or whatever if you don't allow users to run stock or uninstall poo poo or whatever

we hired some company to regularly pentest our software and they still haven't found the myriad of really incredibly obvious problems, i assume because all they're doing is running some toolkit that looks for known vulns in software that is not the software my company specifically makes

if they ever ask you compliance questions the answer is almost always 'all of the above' i.e. report everything including yourself.

what, like an auditor or something? because the person who would actually ask compliance questions internally is actually me, because i'm the only one on the dev team that gives a gently caress so i'm in charge of it

for the record i recommended some actually useful-looking online training thing for the "security training" but it, you know, cost nonzero dollars and so it was vetoed

e: actually I don't remember if it cost nonzero dollars now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was just some OWASP thing...
