The adult conversation would begin with you don't get to change things about stuff that you don't own without permission from the owner, it's not yours. It belongs to the company. Materially changing it in any way is a problem when you do not have permission to do so.
Most of this answer would fully depend on what operations the company actually conducts. In my case, our platform has something on the order of millions of records of background checks, growing substantially every day. SSNs, Court records, credit reports... very long list of very very identifiable information.
Even just reinstalling windows with default settings is an issue in our environment because of the stupid AI screen capture thing windows does now on consumer versions.
I'm a huge proponent of Linux. Just talk to the IT people in your org... many of them will get you a way to get off the windows boat. But it has to still be done in a way that meets all the security audits/policies/whatever that the company must adhere to. Once again, I deal a lot with compliance. If someone is found to be out of compliance willingly, we MUST take it seriously. Even ignoring the obvious risk of data leakage, just to maintain compliance with insurance liability we have to take documented measures everywhere.
Many defaults linux installs don't meet policy minimums, here's an example debian box in a testing environment with default configurations from the installer. Which is benched against this standard https://www.cisecurity.org/benchmark/debian_linux.
Endpoint security would be missing for your laptop if you jumped off our infrastructure. Tracking of assets would be completely gone (eg, stolen assets. Throwing away the cost of the hardware and risking whatever data that happens to be on the device to malicious/public use). File integrity monitoring. XDR services.
Did I say that the device isn't yours? If not, I'd like to reiterate that. It's not yours. Obtaining root, or admin permissions on our device means we can no longer attest that the device is monitored for the entire audit period. That creates serious problems.
Edit: And who cares about downvotes? But I know it wasn't you. It was a different lemmy.world user. Up/Downvotes are not private information.
Edit2: Typo's and other fixings that bothered me.
Edit3: For shits and giggles, I spun up a CLI only windows 2022 server (we use these regularly, and yes you can have windows without the normal GUI) and wanted to see what it looks like without our hardening controls on it... The answer still ends up being that all installs need configuration to make them more secure than their defaults if your company is doing anything serious.
Yeah if you did this in my company... install linux on a machine that we installed windows on. I will get you fired and hand over everything I can possibly get to HR for them to do whatever else. You don't fuck with my infrastructure. Use your big boy adult skills and request/requisition a linux machine so that it can be done properly.
Company computers are not yours. They don't belong to you. The people who are ultimately responsible for the company security posture don't work for you. Sabotaging policy that's put in place is the fastest way to get blacklisted in my industry especially since we must maintain our compliance with a number of different bodies otherwise the company is completely sunk.
and the dishwasher runs at scalding temps for extended periods of time... if you've ever worked in a restaurant you know what im talking about. those machines are no joke.
and for crime/court
that is configurable by your admin. while it was useful for you, you should probably raise that problem to your admin.
Douyin isn’t tiktok
Because China doesn't allow Tiktok as we have it. They understand it's a plague and enforce that it should not exist. So no shit you're not going to fine the Chinese Tiktok look like our tiktok. That's literally what I said. FFS.
Tiktok isnt a Chinese company
Bytedance owns it. There is a 20% direct stake by the OG Chinese owners, weird... Original owners are Chinese... and you think their government doesn't have some say? By Chinese law the owners must give China whatever the fuck China wants (yay communism!). Further, Chinese officials have a seat on the company board. Weird for a 1% stake owner to have a seat on the board.
ByteDance agreed in 2021 to allow the Chinese government to take a 1% ownership stake known as a "golden share" at one of its China-based subsidiaries
Weird that a public international company would just allow a government to take ownership stake from them. Huh... totally not chinese though! Chinese owners, direct ownership stake by China (against the remaining owners will, as nobody would willingly give a government ownership of their company that they have majority share in).
I'm so tired of people not calling a spade a spade. You believe what you want. You'll never be convinced otherwise regardless.
No. Tiktok in China is a completely different app. China doesn't allow tiktok in the form we have it.
And has been available for years... Why this is news today is beyond me. I'm pretty sure I saw these cables on hak5's site over 5 years ago.
There's some value in hiding your alcoholism from Timmy.
The frequency is probably just an easy one to build magnetrons for.
The real reason is that that range is reserved for consumer devices so that it doesn't interfere with actual ISM sanctioned communications as enforced by the FCC. We just also decided to put wifi in the same range cause they're stingy releasing frequencies for public use.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISM_radio_band#Frequency_allocations
But research was done on it cause of course it has been.
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-9120/39/1/006
This article deals with the generation of microwaves in the oven and includes the operation of the magnetrons, waveguides and standing waves in resonant cavities. It then considers the absorption of microwaves by foods, discussing the dielectric relaxation of water, penetration depths of electromagnetic waves in matter and, in considering the possible chemical changes during the microwave heating, multi-photon ionization or dissociation.
So you're likely right that it's not water resonance, but chassis cavity resonance. I can't say that I've read deeply into it. And thinking about it I remember hearing something about some of the high level stuff that I just read in relation to this article. I probably ran into it in passing and just failed to recall it. But to be frank, I'm okay just calling it voodoo wizardry in of itself. But I have to understand wireless communications stuff for my profession, and it's well known that it's basically the same range as wifi 2.4ghz/bluetooth/other consumer standards that sit in the same crowded space.
most people who get assisted suicide meds never take them
Many people offered medical suicide and go through with it don't actually do it for a medical reason. But mostly because medical systems are swamped and they are otherwise poor. This isn't humane, this is just throwing those people away and hoping they choose the easy option so they don't drag down the rest of the system. At least how I've seen in implemented watching Canada's case. If you know of a better case of implementation that I should be looking at, I'm all ears.
I'm aware. But Logitech backed down on it. HP wouldn't have.
The image is of a Logitech MX master. But yes the meme is very HP coded.
Most of the hardware itself was free(business decommissioned) or auction wins (4.5TB of ram out of a $600 auction, selling some servers paid the whole auction off). So quite cheap in that respect. And it's not strictly private use. Lots of functions in there to keep my business going/make it easier to track taxes/auto billing clients/email/etc. Though only typically operationally, not as an income generator itself (eg, not hosting other companies stuff so much).
And yeah, if energy was 10x more expensive (I think it was you or someone else that said $0.60 per kWh?) I'd probably rethink my situation/stance a bit.
But 3kW service is awfully low. Standard around here is 200amp service to a house (at 120v, so 24kVA service), 100amp (12kVA) if you have gas utilities handling range/heating, as A/C is heavily required where I live. My PV setup is rated 15.9kW, though caps out at 11kW on the best days. I can't imagine living off of 3kW. My desktop uses 1/10th of that. My idle usage in my house minus the servers is ~2kW. I can see why you're squeezing Watts. Some googling shows Italy being a country that does this... You probably are in similar situation as them where A/C isn't really common, heating and cooking isn't electric based, etc... Most of the year I'm not allowed to even make a fire, so I'm forced to rely on electricity.
But no SUV here... 1 hybrid sedan for this family of 4. Gas costs too much and we drive too little.
And here I am with a 5 server cluster, 2x custom servers running opnsense for redundancy (8gbps internet connection needs real horsepower for IDS/firewall/routing), and a 36 bay storage truenas node... that's getting upgraded to 72 bay version for more drives (34 additional drives ready for install RIGHT NOW)... I see your 50 and 38 W... and raise you
This
2200-ish watts? Oh... and cooling the servers to keep them to about 75 degrees intake temp.
So really closer to 3400 watts.
Taking your numbers of 6 watts saved per drive would only save me 180w currently and 432w after I install the additional 32 drives next week. I'd still be in the 3kW territory.
...
I also have solar...
I generate (orange) enough to export (purple) a little during the day... but that's about it... Battery (light green) usage just kills peak hours.
The electrical usage costs me about $100-110 a month in electricity after solar ($0.06 per kWh), probably closer to $150 if solar wasn't eating up a bunch of it. Less than subscriptions to all the shit that I'm hosting for myself by a long long shot. Forget the family and other users.
Way to comment on something from over a year ago. And no nobody lied to me. I read the manifesto that Hamas publicly published.
It may very well be. However, with how matter-of-factly you said it, some people might not think it's a joke.
Nah, they didn't click the "show NSFW" toggle... Everything get's pushed off the bottom of the page when you click that.
