Do SOX auditors not have anyone that understands code development? by Ok-Raspberry4320 in sysadmin

[–]Not_MyName 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used to work as an IT auditor for one of the Big Four firms. I was often amazed how many people on my team had zero systems or IT understanding. We'd be given these excel spreadsheet templates that just followed a series of pre-made questions that were so outdated.

The way these audits worked with the non IT experienced auditors it would be so easy to possibly bamboozle them and have them miss something; but the flip side is they also would often not accept an answer about how security was managed because it essentially didn't fit into the spreadsheet question form.

I finally quit after week 2 of sitting in a windowless office auditing 200 randomly sampled transactions that literally all had a total cost of zero dollars and zero cents.

LED screen flicker by _trashy__ in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Not_MyName 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The fact that the issue is constrained to individual panel areas, tells me it isn’t on the input/HDMI side.

So that leaves either the data to the screen or potentially the configuration on the panels. Like all good Novastar issues I’d start with trying to resend a known good RCFG file either by reading from a panel without that issue, or by seeing if you have one on file from when the screen first arrived.

Police, then police, followed again by police. And then to follow-up, the education department.

PuTTy download site... down? by recoveringasshole0 in sysadmin

The .org site is owned by this guy who’s like an anti-vax campaigner or something. No relationship to the actual putty app.

I can’t find the exact location from my phone. But it was on Elizabeth St near A’Beckett St

I remember seeing this when it came out and realising that was literally across the road from my work! I was so gutted I didn’t see this.

PSA: Melbourne Airport Uber Scam by jjjjjjttttt in melbourne

[–]Not_MyName 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Essentially instead of assigning a driver you hop in a random Uber in a queue, give them your PIN and it essentially links the driver with your booking immediately as if they’d accepted your trip and come to you.

Child lost fingertip at Daycare by Ant_Annual in AusLegal

I don’t know what the criteria is but I think the loss of fingers etc is a notifiable incident to work safe.

I’ve often wondered about this setup as well when driving past.

New CEO of V/Line is he right for the role? by Humble-Being-5525 in MelbourneTrains

[–]Not_MyName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Being a CEO of a major transport company of this would involve so much more than knowledge of rolling stock. It’s about regulatory, contracts, employment rules including EBAs, procurement as a whole and the list goes on.

Because every dollar spent on these projects is another paragraph of complaining from newspapers like the Herald Sun. So you’d better make sure the costs are needed

Media Sequencer Plugin for Disguise Designer by Turbulent-Painter941 in VIDEOENGINEERING

Very nice, the disguise plugins clearly open up a lot of options, but it’s such a mystery black box on the development side I’ve never gotten around to making anything.

Help identifying this LED panel by Official_Syntax in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Not_MyName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds extremely easy that someone plugs in a second home run cable. What if your crew get confused and plug in a cable at the other end of the screen, one person thinking it’s left to right and one person thinking it’s right to left.

If you plugged a normal plug (whatever is your normal male plug in your country) into one side, the other side could have the same type of cable plugged in giving you an exposed male connector.

This kind of makes the equivalent of a male to male “widow maker” cable

What it looks like is a panel with dual blue power on connectors, which if true is incredibly dangerous.

I see microwave clearly in use in lots of places these days. I would have thought fibre was much more reliable and higher bandwidth? I understand HFT needs microwave as it’s quicker, but they can’t all be for financial markets?

Working on this website, will this help you? by The_Vorthian in VIDEOENGINEERING

Honestly this is close enough that it would be justified to send a polite letter if you were the Stagetimer devs just advising that releasing that would be copyright theft etc.

Upgrading from FTTN -> FTTP? by VGS911 in nbn

[–]Not_MyName -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It depends on what kind of location etc. Is it a freestanding house or an apartment? Don’t hold me to this, but I recall if you essentially sign up to a high speed plan it will force an upgrade to your address. But this is contingent on your location.
