A spot of after-hours business email does you good, apparently

Joe Drunk

I feel for you

I really do. I used to feel compelled to constantly check/respond to emails off-hours. I thought it would give me job security. All it gave me was insomnia/weakened immune system. I also work for a large multi-national corporate meat grinder. The stress level is extremely high, there's always a fire that needs putting out.

My physical and mental health are far more important to me than whatever artificial goals are placed on my department by some bonus-oriented PHB.

Luckily my role is more sale related so no 24/7 on-call. Work phone gets shut off after hours because It doesn't matter what I type in any email when I'm not at the office, it will not change the fact that when I come in next business day it will always be EMERGENCY! URGENT!.

Re: Feel old

The point is to increase productivity by making sure you are always available for communication.

Everywhere I've worked they've used one form or another of instant messaging (Jabber, Sametime, et al).

I despise IM at work and keep the client logged off despite admonishments from management.

I already do enough multi-tasking. Phone cradled on shoulder while typing an email while updating a spreadsheet while updating a resource schedule while posting project statuses while replying to texts on my work cell-phone. The constant barrage of interruptions from IM brings this juggling act crashing to the ground.

I just play dumb when some tech guy comes around and logs in my IM client which mysteriously logs off for some reason.

IM clients at work are NOT productive, they are disruptive.

Game over: Atari VCS architect quits project, claims he hasn’t been paid for six months

I like retro computing - that's why I have lots of emulators for those machines of yesteryear. I also owned an Atari 2600 VCS in my yoof. My memories of that machine were that all arcade conversions left a LOT to the imagination. When newer better consoles (Coleco vision) came out the 2600 became landfill. So no, I wouldn't buy a 2600 re-make. I had one because it was the best at the time until I got my Commodore 64.

Re: I would rather

In my experience yes, Windows 10 1903 is very stable. Providing you:

1) Disable auto-updates.

2) Disable IPV6

3) Disable telemetry

4) Don't run too many apps at once.

5) Occasionally kill Windows Store process because it like to hog 50% CPU in the background for no apparent reason (I have actually disabled it completely and only re-enable it when I need to download something from the store, killing it immediately after).

Nice work if you can grift it: Two blokes accused of swindling $10m from the elderly with bogus virus infection alerts

Joe Drunk

Fortunately not only are my elderly parents' computers Pi-holed but also trained to know that if any such pop-up appears or random caller claiming that their PC is infected they can safely disregard/hang up the phone. I am always reminding them of these types of scams and constantly e-mail them articles such as this one to keep them vigilant.

My alltime favorite remains putting a screenshot of the desktop as background and hiding (all/most of) the icons

Not nearly as fun as:

1) Taking screenshot of current desktop wallpaper with all icons

2) Hiding desktop icons

3) Setting desktop background to screenshot taken with icons

4) Watch users frantically clicking on images of icons

Spammer scum hack 100,000 home routers via UPnP vulns to craft email-flinging botnet

Joe Drunk
Reply Icon

Don't disable UPnP, at least not on the private side of the router - you need it for streaming audio etc, wireless speakers and so on.

UPnP is really nothing more than auto port-forwarding. All your gadgets that require outside access will still work by MANUALLY enabling port forwarding rules in your router. More work, more secure however since UPnP has long been a risk.

Easy enough for any long-time Reg reader. What am I supposed to do for friends/family? Everytime they buy a new IoT/download a new console game I have to do a service call and spend a few hours there. Have you ever tried to glean IP/PORT info for some IoT or console games?

Re: Pinnacle of unprofessionalism

Back in the bad old days when I worked in a data center and often had to ship equipment to customers everything had labels attached on the front and back - Our assigned equipment ID and in large letters "Property of xxxxx - please call our 24/7 network operations xxx-xxx-xxxx before disconnecting, moving or any other issues with this equipment"

Sometimes I would have to visit client sites to troubleshoot connectivity with our equipment and was astounded at the cabinets with stacks of identical comm equipment, ours being the only ones clearly labeled.

Re: Why still a phone line on it??

Fax machines are ubiquitous because even the most technically illiterate punter knows how to use one. A single function fax machine's minimalist requirements (POTS line, mains line, paper, ink) means no boffin required for setup/maintenance. They are the def acto method for sending copies of documents for legal and medical as stated in the article so until that changes this dinosaur technology isn't going anywhere.

Stress, bad workplace cultures are still driving security folk to drink

Joe Drunk
Pint

Not just IT

I've colleagues in the medical and legal fields and they too complain about the constant stress, long unpredictable hours and need to self-medicate.

I started in IT as a PFY fresh out of uni, almost 20 years later now am a greybeard. My observation is that the stress level increases with the size of the organization. I worked in a few small to medium 5000+ employee companies earlier in life and although there was stress it was manageable as were the workloads/expectations. Pub gatherings were mostly restricted to Friday evenings unless a birthday or other special event occurred. I would say the key factors were regular work hours with rare nights/weekends and absolutely NO on-call. The downside? Salary was on the low end of the scale.

I've surfed more Fortune 50 companies than I can count on both hands for more than a decade. They've all had the extreme stress levels requiring frequent self-medication due to employing the Culture of Fear ™ management methodology. I too have seen colleagues succumb to heart attacks, strokes, kidney/gall stones etc. It could have happened to me too but I learned to adapt and yes, play the game. You can all criticize me for my lack of work ethic but this is what corporate culture cultivates. You will be discarded as a withered, empty husk of a human being and subsequently replaced if you don't adapt.

In the end it is just a job, not worth dying over.

Probing for IoT weaknesses?

Probing for IoT weaknesses?

I've noticed quite a few HEAD / HTTP/1.0 requests sent to my home internet. The requests vary in frequency and source/destination IP/Port range. I realize the request itself isn't a DOS attack since the information returned is minimal. It does however include what web server and version you are running, if any.

Since every IoT device has some sort of web server I believe that miscreants are using bots to send these requests and recording the responses. They probably have a database of known web server exploits and may likely follow up with an attempt to hack into whatever device they have an exploit for.

You may think I'm being paranoid but we all now how shite IoT security is.

Thoughts?

IBM fired me because I'm not a millennial, says axed cloud sales star in age discrim court row

Joe Drunk

Best of luck Jonathan Langley

I hope you hired a good legal team and you win because suing your employer is career suicide.

I'm a Gen X'er. Cynical. Jaded. Lowered Expectations. I started consulting at around the same time Langley started at IBM. I've also consulted for IBM 3 times. It was no worse than any other company I've contracted for, although my observation was there were far too many middle managers.

As a consultant it always surprises me when I hear of someone who has worked for the same employer for more than 7 years post 2000. I can't tell you how many long-term employees I've replaced over the years but a conservative guess would be 40 (many roles were consolidated). Publicly traded companies are motivated solely by profit and Human Capital are the most expendable items on the balance sheet.

I'm a career consultant. I want neither the false sense of job security nor the complacency a so-called permanent job produces. I've no patience for office politics and find performance reviews condescending. I don't do exit interviews.

Repeatedly seeing long term employees cleaning out their desks in tears over the years cements this mantra. My current employer constantly praises my performance. It goes in one ear and out the other because in the end it is meaningless.

Millenials: You better embrace transience. As corporations are bought, sold, merged, absorbed there's only one certainty in your career path: The company logo on your work ID will change every 5-7 years.

Commodore 64 owners rejoice: The 1541 is BACK

Joe Drunk
Pint

Taking over two minutes to load a 64 kilobyte into memory was maddening. As Russell told Bagnall: "I wasted millions of people's hours I was later told."

Horrible by today's standards but at a time when the majority of C64 punters owned tape drives it was nonetheless a welcome improvement. Thankfully there were a lot of peripheral solutions that vastly improved loading times. Even the software companies had custom fast loading routines included in their products towards the end of the C64's life that reduced loading time to seconds.

Kudos to those still making available (emphasis on available) hardware and software not just for the C64 but for all retro computing and gaming gear. I do not include crowd-funded vapor-ware in that category.

It also returns a 404, meaning it's no longer maintained. As for Lynx, I need a graphical web browser, just a baseline one, so Lynx won't do it.

True it hasn't been updated since 2006 but it can still be downloaded from the offbyone.com download links (hover your mouse over the middle links in the download links and you'll see, I just downloaded from all three).

Crims don't like being on camera

I have several security cameras recording video set up on the perimeter of my property as do my neighbors. One of the first thing a police officer does when arriving at the scene of a crime with no witnesses is scan the area for surveillance cameras. They can ask nicely for any footage recording crimes committed or subpoena if necessary.

A motor vehicle accident occurred just in front of my neighbor's house. Police arrived and both parties involved blamed each other. My neighbor showed recorded footage of the accident while it occured to the officer who was able to see clearly who was at fault and provide an accurate report.

People lie. Cameras don't.

Local artists & venues offer better experience

I haven't been to a TM sponsored event since 2003 and I overpayed for my tickets because it sold out in seconds thus being forced to buy from a reseller.

I'm so old I have actually gone to the box office of an arena where AC/DC were playing and purchased tickets a few rows from the stage with cash. Ahh the good ole days.

I love live music. It's so much better going to smaller venue such as a pub/dance hall where a local artist or cover band is performing. A small cover charge at the door, free parking, closer to home..

Even the local watering hole has live bands on Saturday nights. Safe to say TM won't be seeing anymore of my money.

I recommend Google Chrome to noobs for the desktop

Simply because Google invests more in browser security than the rest. Privacy? well these are noobs so they don't know/care about privacy. My personal preference on the desktop is Slimjet - Chrome with all the plugins, minus the Google.

On my Android phone the stock browser with javascript disabled is good for most my needs. Otherwise it is Firefox/Ublock.

One feature I particularly like about FF/Android that I'm surprised hasn't received a mention - it is the only Android browser that will render the full desktop sites properly when selecting "request desktop sites". All other Android browsers, including Chrome, fail to render most desktop sites when this option is selected.

Not all us 'Merikans prefer the euphemism "Holiday Season" over Christmas. It's merely our obsession with political correctness that forces us to remain belief-agnostic.

I used to believe adverts when I was a yoof and rush to the store to buy the latest and greatest thing-a-ma-bob to impress myself and my friends. The vast majority of the time disappointment was all I got.

Jaded. That's why the latest shiny new gizmo no longer appeals to me. I know that the newest phone/tablet/computer/TV etc. will only be slightly better than what I have now. All adverts are lies. That's why I block them/skip past them on my DVR.

The other thing is I have other ways I would rather be spending my time than troubleshooting faulty electronics/firmware, Google-ing for hours on why new gadget won't sync properly with WIFI/bluetooth/IOT etc. despite documentation stating it should work flawlessly.

That's the real sign I'm getting old - I used to have the patience to spend an entire afternoon on the above scenario.

Re: Answer Is Simple

I used to have the official NHL app for "my" team. Very handy to get score updates when away from TV or radio. Handy to lookup the team schedule. Then late last season, the app refused to run unless it was updated. It decided that it needed access to my SD card, my camera, my microphone, my call history, etc. Basically lit the Christmas tree of options. Sorry guys, uninstall.

I really am disgusted by the excessive permissions required by the most basic of apps. I have the been running the same apps on my phone for years with only the permissions I deem are necessary for them to function and am loathe to update them unless they flat out stop working. You really need to have the same attitude for your phone as you have for your PC - you have all the base apps you need that you use regularly. You shouldn't install any new ones unless absolutely necessary and from reputable sources.

Like you, I used to have the ESPN app for sports scores, news, schedules, etc. until it stopped working due to a mandatory update. The update required permissions to my contacts, microphone, camera and other excessive permissions. Bye bye ESPN app, hello ESPN mobile website.

ISPs face piracy sue-balls

Joe Drunk

Relax kids

Nothing has changed. ISPs are still provided safe harbor by the DMCA providing they comply with takedown requests/notifications within 24 hours. COX ignored these. Megauploads ignored these. KA Torrents ignored these...See the pattern?

My ISP responds promptly to DMCA requests as I leared the first and last time I used torrents. I received an email warning. The warning stated that the second offense would lead to suspension of my internet. The suspension would be lifted upon my watching an educational video on the evils of sharing pirated material. I think the third would lead to an extended suspension, I forget the length because it was years ago and I haven't used torrents since and subsequently received no further warnings.

This is how ISPs avoid multi-million dollar judgements and injunctions.

Because this is what the internet has become. It is not the "shiny, happy place where everyone is your friend" experience that social media is brainwashing punters into believing.
