I want to agree with you. But we said this about TVs and a bit later you couldn't buy a TV that wasn't giving you a "recommendations" feed or whatever.

Half these "disable junk" settings auto revert after every update . And then you have people regularly showing up in threads saying they ran a "debloat" script and now its impossible to run teams and the fix is "reb

Microsoft seems perfectly capable of advertising 24/7 support whilst never managing to call back within 24 hours on business crippling sev1 tickets. Just look at how often someone on /r/sysadmin is shocked to find this is the

I keep seeing this argument but I think about whats broken in my ice over the years: brakes, control arms, struts, suspension springs. You get a pass on gearbox but as a genuine question, do these usual mechanical problems that have nothing

Ive argued for a while: the value of these programs is to solve the management problem. When you propose a security solution, someone is going to say "oh my users are too smart to be phished, don't worry about this". Ive had

How would you feel if we just banned advertising it? Im all for people like you having the right to make a choice, but the way its advertised rubs me the wrong way. Kids are encouraged to watch the games which is a bit of a family event. Th

I do not at all understand how these things exist. I read that the argument is it drives up property values. But how many people just avoid buying under such ridiculous rules? Doesn't that just lower value?

Where the logic made no sense was optional repeats. I would get told "here is one course, if you dont feel better, you can take this script for the second". So after five days you finish the first and if you feel better its fine t

Forget about schools, manage any large enough corporate environment and you've heard of most of these. The moment management software blocks the install of a product you can expect you expect an angry demand for an explanation, and ive

I have no idea how i used to manage with five days in office. I am currently using myunch hour to see a doctor. A few weeks back I needed to see a plumber, and before that an electrician. Its five seconds out of the work day let them in and

It really should be recognised just how many people are watching Cloudflare interstitials on nearly every site these days (and I totally get why this happens) yet making a huge amount of noise about Anubis on a very small amount of sites.

I generally dont like seeing these "blind username enumeration" type issues. Its nearly always possible to get usernames elsewhere, they are basically public and the private part is the key and any mfa token. Usernames can get loc

I would counter argue being the person pushing passkeys in an enterprise: noone in the business knows what attestation is, but we're going to do it because the interface recommends it.

Ive always admired hn for bringing me people in very different spaces. Of the development teams I've worked with in the last year pretty much all of them were writing injectable code by default. Ive got an email from an executive in a

You really dont want strict same site cookies for the most part. I get that its "more secure" but as soon as someone clicks a link from somewhere else, you open it without being logged in.

The amount of "malware" infections I've responded to over the years that involved browser push notifications to Windows desktops is completely absurd. Chrome and Edge clearly ask for permissions to enable a browser push. The

I have been in three different organisations now with this same excuse, and actually called their insurer to clarify. In all cases, the insurer asks the password policy such as expirations. Complete absence of a written policy is a problem.

The problem with a fair warning is that once I email you such a warning, I'll never be able to anonymously publish it no matter how much you ignore the report. Then the fair thing becomes I never go public I'm confident you'l

One of the most impactful things I've done with enterprise security, and I mean moreso than buying any expensive product, was deployed a browser policy that disabled browser notifications (and deployed ublock). Service desk calls from

There's a trending post right now for printf implemented in bare metal and my first thought was "finally, all that autoconf code that checks for printf can handle the use can where it doesn't exist".
