One of my co-workers manually sets himself away and goes down to Start-->Shut Down-->Lock every time he steps away from his desk. Even though I tell him that Win+L will do both of those things.

Jesus Christ. Properly space your ads, web developers. It's even worse when you're trying to click on something near the top of the page and an ad springs into existence under your cursor.

While you're replacing equipment make a wreath out of old ram chips and hang it above your desk. Refuse to answer any questions about it.

I'm pretty sure you can set a GPO to ignore an SSID, but that wouldn't prevent people who aren't in your domain from seeing it (Such as visitors)

Neddy Seagoon posted:I blame CSI: Cyber. I picked up the first season of CSI:Cyber super cheap and was watching it just to laugh at everything that was so hilariously wrong. My favorite was their visual depiction of tracking traffic through the deep web as if the deep web were a physical place below the internet, indicated by big scary red glowing letters that said DEEP WEB.

Neddy Seagoon posted:Season 2 gets hilariously terrible, because you can always see the exact moment in each episode they write themselves into a corner and contrive bullshit for a solution. Didn't they also bring on Ted Danson as an out of touch old-person for their target audience to relate to? E.G.: "Please explain to me what new-fangled technology you're misusing."

I've been told they're designed with a stresspoint of failure and to be replaceable, but they don't sell replacements by themselves. You have to get them serviced.

I like a phone that's thick enough that I can at least somewhat pin it between my shoulder and Ear without the touchscreen turning on and recognizing my cheek as an input device. What I don't like are phones that are longer than a checkbook and start poking out of my pocket when so much as jostled.

Bob Morales posted:I was fixing a PC at my first real job, a local MSP. I needed to download the WD EZDRIVE tool to get this hard drive to format (8GB or something massive at the time) and I told my boss 'It'll be a half hour or so, I need to download this thing..." When i was in college our school was hooked up to the government trunk line. So when I kicked off the World of Warcraft beta (like, the beta beta, 48GB in 2004) thinking it would take the better part of the weekend, it was finished by the time I got back from the cafeteria.

I'm still using my old workhorse of a WRT45G, but do modern routers let you access the dashboard from a wireless connection? That seems like a fairly large security hole.

I think it's because of wire crosstalk and/or the fact that the color pairs have a different number of turns per meter along the length of the cable, so the electrical data would get out of sync depending. But I've seen it before too.
