My degree is in cybersecurity. But the education was so bad that I filed a defense against repayment claim and won. So not really sure how I feel about that one… lots of wasted time which I made up teaching myself. Degree looks good on applications at least.
Bottom line I suppose is that I’m a network engineer working with a variety of clients. I enjoy the work for the most part (could do with less after hours stuff) and have fun interacting with the end users to fix their problems. The education might have been bogus, but I put in the work to learn it myself and am happy with where I’m at.
Neat idea. But I’m also worried by setups where users have the ability to shut down a remote host but aren’t privileged enough to then hit the ipmi or cloud management console and turn it back on again. Suppose the thought is avoiding downtime altogether… though I start falling back again on who is privileged enough to shut hosts down.
I remember seeing this and realizing I didn’t care what this ranking site thought when my favorite apples had some of the worst ratings. Is food… kinda hard to definitively rank things where everyone has a different opinion.
From the article “It would be laughable to argue the low-end SG2002 AI SoC poses a threat to any country…”
I can see a great deal of trouble capable of coming from a networked device capable of watching the screens 24x7 and potentially intercepting passwords being entered. And those are the legitimate functions for this device. Wouldn’t take much to throw a reverse shell for external access if you wanted to be particularly nefarious.
Not saying there’s any evidence this kvm is malicious. But I probably wouldn’t put it in anything more than one of my toy home lab servers.
Check out the gigabyte laptops. I did basically exactly this for a bit of one of theirs. All hardware worked out of the box with Debian and Kali. Space for two m.2’s s well, so no pain points of multiple OS’s on the same drive.
I’m not sure they need to show this specifically? I put an event on my calendar. Any point thereafter, “Hey Siri, how many days to event?” I don’t even need to open the app to get the answer.
Pretty sure it’s a deliberate action. It could be taken pretty badly by other countries if you falsify their currency. But make something which looks similar while obviously not being real, and you’re probably annoying but safe.
The best boss I ever had took this approach: “My position and title mean nothing. The legacy I leave will be the success that each person under me ultimately has.” He took his leadership role as a servant focused on the wellbeing of those under him. This created an amazing environment to work in.
This feels like an overstep at first read, but I take a little pause that the judge mentioned it was more than sleeping which bothered him. Should he react that way? Probably not. But I’d like to hear more about how that teen specifically acted towards the judge before jumping too far into an opinion.
Before anyone gets too far into trying to use this… FAQ states “You must be at least 18 years old and be in California, Florida, or Michigan. No insurance coverage is required.”
I’ve seen a few locked iPads go through my office (MSP). In every case that the client could produce the original purchase receipt, Apple was fine working with us to remove an activation lock. Get the BestBuy receipt, tell Apple you’re locked out but can prove it’s yours, and you should be fine.
I don’t hold any high regard or positive feelings to these hacker groups. But I’m not a fan of how this article was titled. I wish our news sources held themselves to a more professional standard. Leave the personal emotions out and let the readers determine how they should react to events.
I would favor 1, 2, and 10. I can make any combination of numbers out of 1 and 2. Adding in 10 helps simplify expressing larger numbers. And I don’t necessarily need the concept of 0 to understand that if I remove all my numbers, I have nothing left.
Randomly could not send emails through outlook. No amount of screwing with accounts or outlook files would resolve this. Then things would magically start working again for a time. Finally pinned it down to the wireless mouse. Still don’t know why, but if that specific model of Microsoft wireless mouse was plugged in, outlook wouldn’t send emails. Confirmed with another of this model mouse on a separate person’s computer.
Even to the extent of giving hints, you create an unhealthy learning environment. “You have the potential of being smarter (higher IQ), so no help for you. Go figure it out yourself because we’re fairly sure you can.” vs “Oh you poor dumb fool. You’re obviously never going to be capable of supporting yourself so we’ll make sure to carry you there with these extra handicaps. Don’t worry about trying to work harder, we don’t think you can.”
Over dramatized but you get the point. One group is mad about the support the other gets. And that other group loses incentive to really try for things since the solutions, or at least the paths to them, are always sitting there waiting.
This leads to a terrible future outcome. Person A and B both graduated with high marks. Person A is truly brilliant and will be a real asset to your company. Person B figured out how to use AI to get the answers the school wanted but doesn’t understand anything and will be a hindrance to the company. Unfortunately, you don’t get to know which one is which, just that they came out of school with similar marks. Best of luck.
Also supposing in this situation that AI can’t really perform the job duties. If it can, don’t bother hiring either person.
If I’m not mistaken, most employers have the option to immediately terminate you as well if it was ever found that you lied in an interview to get the job.
So people classifying as hybrid, aka a group who is meant to come into the office sometimes, are mad about a policy where the highest ranking asks them to only physically be there 1/3 of the time? From the article, the best rating is for showing up 39 days within a quarter. Show up even less if you only want a green flag. Seems perfectly reasonable to me if you are classified as hybrid and not as remote.
So this is something that you check in with every day and get a positive statement from? Does it actually help in weight loss by looking at exercise or meal planning? Reading through the site, it sounds like I tell a robot how much I weigh each day and it encourages me to keep trying.
It’s not so much the difference as saying exactly how one number compares to the other. For example, given 150 and 100, you could say that 150 is either 150% of 100 or that it is 50% bigger than 100.
CSV files mean a lot of work and are expensive… couldn’t agree more. I had the distinct “pleasure” of working with the food plan system for a get of around 60,000 people. Every iteration of every plan option across every demographic of person was controlled by the biggest CSV you’ve seen. And it changed multiple times a year, requiring a series of review meetings among a small group of IT to review and update everything. It was absurd how that entire system ran off a CSV.
Basically, spend some time finding a domain you like and then get it. From there, pick an email service you like or self host. I got coffeefuelednerds.com because it was a fun name. And I can make it sound like a business is the need arises. Not sure I’d like getting lastname.com for email (though in my case, a distillery already owns that one hah).
