Not that simple. "today", what do you mean "today"? Passports have been a thing for a long time.


True, I am using my 2014 desktop and my work PC is from 2020. Totally normal...


>and refusing to bother with company provided computers

To you and people that do this:

Do you enroll your personal PC in the companies MDM like intune or Jamf?

Do you install their endpoint protection/antivirus/EDR/MDR?

or you just leave it unmanaged?


Was wondering the same thing - going through a tech audit at the moment for ISO and that certainly wouldn’t fly, unless we were able to prove that we effectively treated it like we owned it.


Working at companies without strict audits, and previously at bigger corps that had audits we established parallel networks for developers. Either way, BYOD was possible after all.

Also I insist on not having security based on VPN/VPC only, but treat every service as if (and often has) direct internet connections, so devs are _forced_ to think about security from day 1.


Sewage and tap water situation is a metric I use to judge countries if they care about their citizens! :)

Don't know why it says the Baltic's in unsafe. Most of the water there comes from deep underground wells. I'd rather have that than water washed with chlorine.


Yep. Lithuanian here. Tap water is safe. I heard about rare nuts who drink bottled water because they saw it on TV in movies. But that’s about it.


Good to hear! I don't know their sources.


It's pretty outdated, at least in regard to Eastern & Southern Europe.


It’s not even outdated. Drinking tap water here in Lithuania was safe since forever.


It seems chlorinated tap water shows up as "drinkable" on this map but really who wants that.


Very interesting!

>the kernel-side stuff works beautifully, and the explorer shell side dies horribly.

So, just like running Windows normally then? :D


NT is Dave Cutler's best ideas for OS design, atop which Very Bad People piled the Win95 API and UX


You want the ENTIRE company to be auto added to more than 25 teams?


I don’t want the entire company to be added to any teams. Maybe one.

But I think it’s funny that someone said “20 is not enough but 30 is too many.” And then implemented it.

Setting such an arbitrary limit so low is what is interesting to me. Fight for an opinion of “none” or “one and only one.” But allowing the hellscape of 25 teams where people accidentally invite all employees to their meeting, but not allowing 100 teams is funny.


And usually when this happens it’s for some weird technical reason, and it almost always is a power of two number. Here it’s just plain weird!


Highly illegal. In the USA I guess you can sue.

In EU these would be fucked by GDPR.


Doctors and Nurses are some of the worst to have as clients in IT. This does not surprise me.


It's understandable why they'd be the worst clients though. Imagine training rigorously for a decade without any real pay, and after that you are trying to save lives and suddenly the way you order tests doesn't work anymore for no reason.

I wouldn't have much patience to deal with that. I got 12 complex patients that need shit done for them, and my login don't work because I missed some email, or something updated, or some network thing is down etc etc. Sounds like someone has not done their job well enough and that interrupting my patient care that I dedicated my life to.

I work in IT, hang out with a ton of physicians though, and I absolutely get why they'd be bad clients. They don't got any time to deal with issues.


Doctors are not just jerks to IT, they're often jerks to everyone around them in healthcare setting. Going to school for a decade isn't an excuse to act like that. You don't hear stereotypes of guys working 12 hr days in 100 degree weather being pricks, but you hear it about highly educated doctors all the time.


>Sounds like someone has not done their job well enough and that interrupting my patient care that I dedicated my life to.

off topic but

Nope that's just shit that happens.

Like saying "I want 100% guarantee that my car won't crash ever never ever!!"

Dedicate your life all you want


!!! wow

Really something to think about
