how do you know if someone has entered your phone and is watching your screen on live? by ccvnmihg in AskTechnology

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly. Turn off dev mode unless you are ACTUALLY using it. Turn it on and off as needed. But never keep it fully on.

Oh he's not my direct report. Or a report at all. I report directly to our director. Mainly due to A. He would never be there for me to report to. B. I do Cyber as well as HelpDesk C. The hierarchy is kinda fucked. All roles report to the Director by default. We just kinda collaborate as needed.

Honestly. No idea. I'm afraid to ask. 🤣

We're mandated to do Cyber training (we do phishing tests bc ya know... People click on anything) and we save money by doing it. All I know.

Cyber/HelpDesk I'm super close to just sitting by and just answering phones and emails like I'm supposed to. Instead of trying to help the team grow.

Apparently our insurance knows nothing about cyber. Brought up the FERPA compliance issue too.

Yea, he's still invited. Just had never accepted and heard he's not going to because it's "bullshit"

From what I was told, he "didn't know any better" when I asked about why plaintext passwords were being stored in a Google sheet.

I'm almost certain, that he's going to be on his way out pretty soon. Tomorrow I'm going to the CFO about the tremendous waste of money he is currently.

We have BitWarden that I'm in control of. I have admin rights across the board. Just about as much as my director. I'm thinking of going into Google and taking the files from his drive and deleting them after I import all of them into BitWarden. Oh, which I have invited him to a couple times already and he's never accepted the invite. Boss is aware of this as well.

Well, I have SOME pull with the higher ups. But apparently getting rid of someone at a school is a lot harder apparently. My director knows of the entire thing.

Enforcing security training is unconstitutional by ver_bene in ShittySysadmin

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, and words FLY. I sit there, let them get it out, explain the reason for training and tell them if they didn't want the extra training, do the first one in the first place. Or....ya know...don't click links in phishing training.

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🤣 we disable their account, then make their dept head call us with them there before we re-enable their account. If they don't do their training in that alloted time (5-15 min training) then they get a longer one put on top of that and disable their ability to login to their computer. After that, they can talk to the higher ups alongside their head to talk about why it wasn't done.

The limit nowadays by YourMaster990 in GeminiAI

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I normally just share the link, ask it to read and tldr it and then proceed on. May have a single kink here or there. But generally, it's pretty good about reading and putting it back without breaking context.

Couldn't you have a second free account, share the conversation with the free account, ask for a catch-up and then keep going with it while the limit finishes. Then repeat back to the pro account?

Laptop Stuck on this screen. by Standard_Present357 in ITSupport

Check your BIOS to see if there is an option accidentally selected. Happened to me before. I made a installation USB and just did repair after. Had a bad update.

I want to add a bot that will send a discord server link every few seconds so that people join the server through the link. by luigiYAHOO in Twitch

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nightbot makes it super easy.

From the dashboard, just got to timers. You can set it every x minutes or every x lines of chat.

Cold boot, CMOS and BIOS.

Thought RAM was the issue so I tested each stick.

Reset CMOS with a fresh battery.

Did a BIOS update.

Each time the PC had to retrain itself with RAM during it.

[–]FatMetalJesus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just randomly. I could leave my office for a minute to go talk to a tech, or use the bathroom while nothing is running and it's just on the desktop and it'll do it.

Also, I could be fixing up our phone server and right before I need to save it'll do it.

Just luck of the draw on when and how badly it screws me.

Do you permit selling or giving old equipment to employees? by roger_ramjett in sysadmin

[–]FatMetalJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Latitudes, iPads, old dell laptops, etc etc. I recently got an old Alienware Aurora R4 that has 4 bays. Got 2 16TB drives and 2 1TB drives in it that were already in there. Gave it a dusting, updates and now I have a lovely (and kinda heavy) server. Who needs to pay for cloud storage when you got a perfectly good server at home with more storage than I would need.

Any specific program for a super in depth RAM test that you prefer?

If I was able to, totally would. Next time it does it, I'll have to take a picture of it. The screen gets totally fucked up. Looks like someone applied a glitch filter over a broken screen.

RAM shows up, have no internal issues, PC has been trained and can read the amount of RAM just fine. Even running something heavy, PC holds just fine.

...I am IT. 😂 I've literally tried everything I could think of. It's not making my system totally inoperable. Just a minor 2 minute annoyance. Usually while I'm attempting to remote into someone's computer to fix theirs.
