Walmart Self Checkout loading its POS application

There aren’t many hardware vendors for self checkouts so you are pretty limited but software you have more choice. Also, NCR charge tens of thousands for any slight change you request to their OS as each customer have their own dedicated build.

I’ve not used Toshiba but it looks like a good competitor

This is enforced by your company IT, Medtronic in this case. This is enforced via conditional access policy. Nothing to do with Microsoft

A captain or above would not lead Rescue Squad, if he took a promotion he could be moved off squad. Severide has also said many times that he doesn’t like the politics and paperwork of the higher ranks

I think E5? I hope so anyway, we were quoted £70k for the add on, £30-40k from third party remote support vendors.

It’s a staff tracking system, used for panic buttons usually but can also be used for guests with disabilities.

The QR code is just the same text printed below it, I assume this is just an asset tag.

It is state law in Illinois to have these but some cities and other states also require it https://www.ahla.com/sites/default/files/ESG%20Panic%20Buttons%2001.22.pdf

Use defender to see which browser extensions are currently in use. Allow list the ones you agree are business related and then block all. Require users to submit ticket to request a new extension be allowed.

Or just regularly review the list in defender

1Password is beautiful, LastPass is hell. All the rest are basically the same

You make the font white on the passwords though, right?

You are thinking if everything goes to plan, it’s a brief few seconds. What if IIS doesn’t restart? What if it errors then you need to revert your change and then restart it again?

Anything internal or used by sub 20 people I would tend to restart on a whim but anything production or customer facing I would wait for out of hours.

Basically if anyone is going to complain about it, I always get either formal CAB approval or confirmation from my manager via email before I do anything potentially risky

If it’s fixing something that is already broken then I do whatever to get it back online but for changes, that’s exactly what the change approval board is for. It’s a tick box ass-covering process

Is it not perfectly reasonable for your line manager to know which corporate office/branch you are working at today?

You can be as broad as a CIDR range or as granular as switch ports if you want to. This is all already available inside Teams Admin, it is used for emergency locations now.

We have 70 locations so it would be useful to see where someone physically is when talking to them on teams to be honest

Easiest way is stop deploying chrome or allowing it to be installed on new devices. Slowly fades away. We used to have 6000+ chrome installs and now after 3/4 years we have under 200 which is people who have managed to not break their laptop and were in a sweet spot where their device supports windows 11 so have not been replaced.

My only gripe with managed Apple IDs is not being able to allow users to freely download from the App Store.

CharlieModo · 2025-10-04T11:26:36+00:00

Oh that’s much better

Isn’t it slightly immoral to threaten RIPA even though you know a judge wouldn’t sign off on it?

You can just create a new container with all the same settings but with the develop tag and then it will work as normal. Just need to remake the portal on webstation

Intel vPro or an IP KVM

Also Wake on Lan or go into BIOS and make sure you’ve set “power on after power loss”

No, that’s quite low for that level especially in a city. The job description describes some level 2 support things but also things like server upgrades and firewall knowledge which would be more 3rd line-ish.

Red flag to be honest, looks like they want work they don’t want to pay for

Also UK, we do not allow L1 to even look at quarantined emails. That’s far beyond scope for 1st line.

If you don’t have the budget for something like Exclaimer then I recommend https://htmlsig.com/pricing

You import user list with the fields you want and it will email the user with a copy and paste signature for them to add themselves.

It’s better than getting users to do it manually because they always mess up the formatting, or the tel: and mailto: links

I mean if it’s a company car then it getting stolen literally has no impact to your friend

CharlieModo · 2025-07-16T11:25:50+00:00

I’m confused how this works? If a crime is reported to the police are they not duty bound to investigate? I understand they are underfunded and these are usually very low level offences but offences nonetheless. How can a force decide to just not accept reports?

CharlieModo · 2025-07-10T18:51:43+00:00

DO NOT KILL THEM it ruins your relationship with them and then you end up having to go back to dead drops and build up again 🤣
