Hey, IT, I imported this data set twice, and now there are a lot of duplicates. Is there something wrong with the tool?
– Yes, that happened.
'The wind keeps blowing my wifi signal away ’ is more than enough information to diagnose the problem, and ‘the computer forgot my password’ is now a real thing since password managers started coming baked into browsers.
We are so far beyond parody of ourselves that i have no idea how the onion stays in business.
Using Bitwarden must be too complicated for these guys or something.
You misspelled KeePass
If bitwarden is too complicated, keepass is out of the picture
How could you be simpler than keepass? Like, there’s more advanced features, but for basic function, its just a password to access a list of passwords.
…its just a password to access a list of passwords.
Unless you never thought of, implemented, regularly did and regularly tested your backup of the database. Or… try to use it on more than one device - maybe even at the same time.
That’s the main problem with KeePass. It’s nice to have it offline, fully under your control and out of the cloud, but that comes with some responsibilities on your end. And now think of how the average user solves this. If you’re tech savvy enough, KeePass is great!
You technically only need it on one device if you don’t want to be able to copy/paste or use the autotype feature. Which works fine until you lose or break that one device or upgrade to a new one and forgot you needed to transfer your passwords or delete your database because you didn’t remember what it was and wanted to free up space.
And Bitwarden has scary things like “self-hosting”.
The “what do we even pay you for?” is just like with projects:
“why isn’t this finished yet?”
We have to add tests and make sure we’ve tried to cover our bases.
“that’s not necessary, if it works now, just release it” That’s not-
“I don’t care, I pay the bills”
Sure thing boss.
*a few weeks later* “This thing doesn’t work”
Yeah, it’s what we wanted to test.
“Well why didn’t you?”
😐And what email are you sending us in from?
Outlook
And which Outlook email account are you sending that from
Outlook
For your Outlook account does it say something like bob@outlook.com?
No it just says Outlook
…
“Email address” is the phrase you’re looking for!
Yes no clearly clearly. I never would have tried that. Thank you for your insight. I don’t know how I would have missed that. No clue just pure flabbergasted over here
I have a friend who works for a local, but widespread bank, and got to head up their digital security and IT stuff. Not sure what all it encompasses, but he quickly found out that it was a lot, and the previous guy quit because he had had enough bullshit.
Long story shorter, after a particularly bad week, he decided to just… Stop doing his job.
Kept all their legal stuff and sensitive info under lock and key, but the smaller stuff, he just let it go. Went on vacation, turned everything off, didn’t do everything for a temporary replacement (which isn’t even his job, it’s hr’s) and spent a week playing video games and spending time with his wife and baby.
Several employees just in his building basically ended up doing nothing by the end of the first day because they had locked themselves out of the system.
By day 3 there were several lines that couldn’t be used by the tellers in every branch, older employees were bricking their systems so fast, construction workers started taking notes.
By the end of the week they had people showing up at his door to try and contact him since nobody could get ahold of him. Some legit thought he was dead.
His first words when he got into the office on Monday, we’re “THAT is why you pay me.”
And after that, he was given 3 people to help out (he had been asking for 4) and they had a company come in and redo a lot of the computer systems that year.
Still works for the bank, still has a team although I think they’re bigger now since they’ve opened a few more branches, and still tells that story at every gathering after his one single beer gets him tipsy.
Is it just me, or do programmers only come in “lightweight” and “Rivals Þor in trying to drink the oceans dry” varieties?
