cable locks are to prevent someone from just casually walking away with the laptop. hopefully not a threat model relevant to a workplace (other than a lovely coop space I guess?), but the durability of the thing you're attaching the laptop too isn't particularly relevant

neither is the durability of the cable for those same reasons, so i don't much care for the question

Not an IT or comp person at all, but a while ago at my workplace we got a company wide email that we got infected by a virus. The IT department told us to solve this by downloading Malwarebytes, running the trial version's software cleanup and then uninstalling it. The size of the company I work for couple hundred to low thousands employees and they're large enough to have multiple offices. Exactly how sketchy is this?

so if a spark is lighting a fire, what do people do in the winter when walking across the room turns you into a human taser

e: of course that's been answered

quote:

http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=2687

Hacham Ovadia Yosef addresses this question in his Hazon Ovadia (vol. 6 pp. 107-109), and he rules that it is permissible to wear such a garment on Shabbat, even if one knows for certain that static electricity will be produced. He explains that to begin with, producing a spark – as opposed to an actual flame – is in general forbidden only on the level of Mi’de’rabbanan (Rabbinic enactment), as opposed to Torah law. The Gemara establishes that “Nisosot En Bahem Mamash” – sparks are not significant, and thus do not violate the Torah prohibition of Mab’ir. Igniting a spark is forbidden only on the level of Rabbinic enactment. This point was also made by the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909), in responding to a question posed to him by a man who had struck a match on Shabbat and produced a spark. The man wanted to know how he should go about repenting for this violation, and in his response the Ben Ish Hai noted that the man had not committed a Torah violation, but rather a Rabbinic enactment.

Hacham Ovadia proceeds to explain that when it comes to a prohibition enacted by the Sages, we may be lenient in situations of “Pesik Resheh” – where one has no intention to perform the forbidden act. There is a famous ruling of the Aruch which permits performing an action on Shabbat even though it will inevitably result in a Shabbat violation, as long as one has no interest in that result. An example is the practice that was common long ago to use a stone to prepare oneself for defecation, a process which inevitably results in removing hair. The Aruch permits such a practice on Shabbat, since one has no intention to remove hair. Another example would be candles placed near a door on Shabbat, such that the flames will flicker every time the door opens because of the wind. The Aruch would permit opening the door, even though this causes the flame to rise and then descend (which violates the prohibition of Mab’ir), since the person has no interest in causing this effect.

The Shulhan Aruch rules stringently in both cases, and maintains that one may not perform an act that will invariably result in a Shabbat violation. However, Hacham Ovadia asserts that the Shulhan Aruch would likely rule leniently if the violation at stake is forbidden only Mi’derabbanan. Although the Shulhan Aruch does not accept the Aruch’s position permitting actions that result in Torah violations, we can assume that he would accept this position with regard to prohibitions enacted by the Sages. Therefore, when it comes to producing static electricity, which entails a Rabbinic violation, it is permissible when this result is unintended. This is certainly the case when one wears clothing which creates static electricity – as he has no intention whatsoever to create electricity – and it is therefore permissible to wear such clothing on Shabbat.

Summary: It is permissible to wear on Shabbat clothing which creates static electricity.

my bitter bi rival posted:

This might be a bit of a broad topic, but does anyone have any recommendations for intelligently done end-user workplace IT security training or good resources for setting up your own? One of our sys admins has been doing these off the shelf phishing emails and garbage traffic school type web classes rife with awful information. I saw this a few years ago: https://www.infoq.com/presentations/security-etsy and it seems like it is a much more accessible and user-friendly way of going about things but I feel a little overwhelmed doing something like that from scratch.

In our AOR, I'm one of those resources. We rely on a good inbrief, a one-pager with a clear set of rules and in-person group presentations every year or so. Those presentations are my favourite part of my job and groups up to the ~600 range look forward to coming to see a little nerd talk about itsec for 40 minutes and try not to say a swear. Seriously, they keep coming back and asking good questions and stuff, it's pretty cool. Plus it gets my name out there as the argument-ender for when two guys can't agree on whether the rule against porn includes pigs or whatever it is they argue about for a week before emailing a question that can be answered with an url and two emojis.

When in doubt, start with the pubs & policies. What are your local rules? Are they written down? Do they have teeth? If someone shits on the network, and you want to go after him for it, what realistically is going to happen? It's not fair to expect the users to know even a tenth of that stuff, so boil it down to a summary you can spit out in one breath: don't do this, here's what happens if you do it anyway, sign here, go away. Pepper with examples (the realer the better) but don't get too hung up on why and how. Edward the Ancient doesn't need to know what a scada system is to know he shouldn't plug the usb stick he found in a russian airport into his work computer.

I'll :words: forever on this one.
