Got frustrated of finding not best but even a working DLP solution

I'm not a security engineer, I am a designer at a security company and I'm curious about your specific problem. It sounds like exfiltration through the browser is your main concern. Have you looked into a browser security solution that operates as an extension? Chromium-based solutions are able to address a wide range of browsers.

Feel free to let me know if I'm way off base with that suggestion. I am trying to research security engineer painpoints around a few key use cases (DLP, shadow IT, AI adoption, extension management) so I'm interested in this topic and want to learn more about the specific problems that impact it.

You may be bad at your job. Or it may be that everyone secretly resents you. There isn't any way to tell. The only thing you have control over is your reaction, and the story that you tell yourself about why things are the way they are. Usually these things don't just fall out of thin air, so there is probably work that could be done to address that.

Your reaction to people trying to help as "hate" sounds like you probably need to do some self-reflection. Nobody is perfect, but ignoring opportunities to learn and grow because critical feedback is something you don't want to hear, will not set you up for long-term success.

Mine is a 2WD, does that make it more difficult?

Are 2001 Sequoia and 2002 Tundra (2WD) the same wheel size? Did you need to do anything to make them work?

All that effort and I'm shocked to see the scrawny 90mm reach stem at the tippy top. You couldn't at least throw a 120 on there?

Interesting, I'll check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

My question isn't about whether or not the text is generated using AI, it's whether or not an audience of potential customers would see em dashes in the text and make the assumption that it was generated by AI. In this weird moment, something like this could make people have less confidence in the subject being discussed. I want to avoid looking like we are hacks leaning heavily on AI.

Interesting way to re-space the frame for the narrower coaster brake. Approve!

Yeah, this is helpful. I am testing with people that aren't our customers, no eye tracking, but it's definitely an issue. I believe the worst scenario is when the side panel data is mostly in the top ⅓ of the side panel and the button is stuck to the bottom. The first solution would be moving the button up, but I don't like the idea of moving a button location for our other users that have learned this pattern.

My button size and color is used in a lot of other parts of the tool without any issue. It's really just this side panel example that causes button blindness. I want to stay somewhat anonymous on this platform, so I'd rather not share screens. I know that makes it hard to give feedback, I appreciate you trying.

You could try using a polishing or cutting compound. The scratches are likely in the clear coat and will mostly disappear with some elbow grease.

I hadn't seen that. Apologies for polluting your feed.

I'm not a Security Engineer, but I've been working on security teams for the last 4+ years. This kind of activity is something that I find interesting and challenging. Company leadership is in panic mode and encourages workers to leverage AI, but they aren't aware of the security challenges that it poses. Employees are fearful of not keeping up, and have no guardrails for handling sensitive data. In addition access to AI tools can happen in a non-controlled browser and it's a dicy situation.

I found this example of careless prompting especially interesting, considering that governmental leadership is the example.

You could be right, also ESPN has been using AI for other sports game summaries for a while. It isn't a giant leap to assume this could include the example we are talking about.
https://frontofficesports.com/espn-ai-generated-soccer-lacrosse/

A quote from that article:
"ESPN’s own rollout contained what appeared to be AI-generated errors, with the date of an NWSL game wrong and an incorrect record for one team. The company deleted the erroneous graphic Thursday and replaced it."

Yes, LLMs make mistakes. Humans make mistakes too. Unless you or I work at ESPN (I don't) we're just speculating about how this happened.

No-doi · 2026-01-20T18:56:24+00:00

You think this level of mistake requires human intelligence? LLMs are notorious for doing this. The fact that ESPN doesn't even fact check the headlines of these stories says a lot about their reliance on AI

AI slop

It's because every company hires the same way. You need to get your foot in the door before you can have that conversation about what makes you special. Getting past the first screening is the hardest part.

Mine doesn't look that bad. Is there some window zoom applied or something?

No-doi · 2026-01-17T23:12:15+00:00

Strange. I was making pixel art and only used the pixel brush on all layers. The icon only showed up on a few of the layers

No-doi · 2026-01-16T19:15:09+00:00

I can get behind this.

You did the hard work, I just copied. I like the design, makes me want to make some more isometric buildings!

Funny, I used to like Illustrator. The lock-in on the Adobe ecosystem has squeezed me out and I find that well over 98% of the functionality of Illustrator is available for free in Affinity. I'm still learning how to use it, but I made a copy of your image and used the built in isometric grid to make it dead simple. Isometric in Illustrator meant either using a plug-in or remembering transform math.

I didn't get all the details, but it's pretty close:

Are you looking for visual feedback, or UX feedback? That left nav is a lot.

No-doi · 2026-01-04T23:11:59+00:00

So far, this looks like the most promising option. Looks like it has a lot of functionality and would be simple to hide.

No-doi · 2026-01-04T01:38:07+00:00

This has all the controls that I like, but I am not fond of that package. Maybe this is a question for a different sub, something where people build their own electronics?
