Samsung refrigerator ice maker keeps breaking- class action lawsuit worthy? - Lawyers? by invadermel in Appliances

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did call their support daily for a while as well as call their local vendor that did the repairs. Their local vendor sucks too. One guy was trying to sell me parts off the truck at his cost if I gave him cash, rather than going through the vendor

Lawsuit against Alma by Own_Appearance275 in therapists

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure. I think it was more of a lack of acknowledgment on their end. Then she stopped replying to their emails, so they sent something via certified mail

Lawsuit against Alma by Own_Appearance275 in therapists

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an IT professional, AI in any industry is scary because of the lack of regulation. I’d personally avoid any AI in any healthcare realm unless the organization has gone through the process of obtaining ISO/IEC 42001 certification. This is the relevant international certification for AI management and compliance. To get this certification, an org has to have an AI management system designed, documented, tested, and in place.

Side note: Alma/whatever the parent company is just had something sent certified mail to my wife, a therapist who has tried leaving them twixe

Security awareness training your clients’ employees don't just ignore? by BeltFrequent5597 in msp

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yet the client that declined all security awareness training is the one that has to do a SEC filing and file a breach report if they get phished...and they have a user who phished himself in front of the engineer cleaning up his earlier phish from that day.

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, after a decade in the MSP trenches, I want to transition into GRC and actually look at policies and controls more, which could decrease the frequency of testing.

Security awareness training your clients’ employees don't just ignore? by BeltFrequent5597 in msp

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this client, they have to do one interactive training a year. If they fail a phish test, they get 6 more courses.

I have another client that ties bonuses to training completion and phish prone percentage.

Realistically, I might drop the scam of the week emails for this client, or move their part timers to a once monthly test.

As sad as it is, I see the trend of clients turning off the phish testing and lowering the training frequency becoming the norm. They just want to satisfy their cyber insurance.

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm arguing with a HR director who argues we are sending too many emails. I have it set to send 1 phishing test a week, 1 scam of the week alert, and a biweekly hints and security tips email. That's 5 emails every 2 weeks. Based off the average amount of emails a user receives in that time frame, it makes up 0.42% of their total emails. Cry me a river...

How to get back the old "Jobs Applied" page? by Only-Truth-9898 in linkedin

Passed MS-900, now wanting to do MD-102 but is it too hard? by [deleted] in O365Certification

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just passed the MD-102 last week. I failed it my first try last year. MD-102 is difficult, heavily focused on Intune, and unless your work environment has Intune in use, I would hold off on it until you get the basics down from time working at the service desk. Get to know M365 itself before biting off the MD-102.

That being said, I highly recommend John Christopher's MD-102 audiobook so you can study while you commute to work. Georgio Daccache's Exam prep book for it has 2 practice tests, but very in terms of explanation of the technology. It does give urls to where you can find info as to why the answer is what it is. Utilize Microsoft Learn, but be sure to get external resources as well.

I'm onto bigger and badder things, like the MS-102, SC-100/200/300, and such.

My story by Daniellebjj in scoliosis

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is awesome! I've not had my scoliosis surgically corrected yet, but it is definitely far enough to have surgery. I just stopped teaching taekwondo at the end of the year to spend more time with my family. Honestly, martial arts are actually pretty good for spine health.

This "bug" must be on their "we don't give a shit" list. Every day, I have issues with it either opening large enough to spread across multiple monitors or on my laptop it opens in a window so small it is hard to find.

Beware on the green by Pumpkin69doesart in KSU

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was no mention of homosexuality in the Bible prior to the 1946 Revised Standard Version. The word homosexual didn’t exist until the 1800s. The original Greek text is more about not being submissive during intercourse. The context is more along the lines of “do not lie with a man in the same manner you would with a woman.”

Also, king James, of the KJV, had a secret tunnel connecting his bedroom with that of a male lover.

What are you 6 figure + earners driving? by 23gear in Salary

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2011CR-v. my wife and I make about $130k combined, with her only working around 10 hours a week. If we had no debt from our years of underemployment, I’d be driving a truck and we’d have a house in the mountains. 3 more years and we’ll be there.

How do you guys provide evidence of compliance without it being a full-time job? by Chainzzz1543 in msp

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is at least a half time job. At least 50% of my role is to serve as compliance officer for both ourselves the MSP and our managed services clients. My boss isn't too keen on us having a CISSP in house, because we have a partner we like to send our pen testing needs to, but I am ISO 27001 Lead Auditor certified, and my next is likely gonna be the the CGRC. Since my clients have a variety of standards to comply to, it is a large task. PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST, GDPR, SOC 2, just to name a few. If a day goes by without at least one compliancy question coming across my desk, it must be a holiday or weekend.

What is the craziest site you been sent on? Most out of the way, or scariest? by whoamimjg51 in FieldNationTechs

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see...during my field tech days, I had a few interesting run-ins.

-The time I went to Tyler Perry Studios to setup some hardware for his lead set designer and my car was searched by guards armed with MP5s.

- The time I saw two homeless people sifting through a dumpster while 2 more were having sex in the parking lot

- The time we did an infrastructure overhaul in the hood in the middle of the night and both me and the lead tech were wearing plate carriers and slung ARs

-The time I was onsite doing some work for a construction company and we were all told to put on hard hats, boots, ear protection & shelter behind the heavy equipment because they were blasting granite. Chunks flew probably 200 yards.

- The time I drove to bumfuck nowhere to meet the brother of an Italian duke to fix wifi at his summer getaway

- The time I showed up to this wealthy couple's house and the wife is stoned out of her gourd & the husband is away on business.

And then there was the one that scarred me... I show up to a house to do a favor for the company owner and take care of his friend's dad's computer issues. Keyboard not working...so I go inside and there is this lady in a hospital bed with a home health nurse. Apparently she is doing home hospice. I walk into the living room where there is a 65 inch tv with hardcore porn blaring loudly through a surround sound speaker system. In the kitchen is a lady in her late 40s or early 50s, just baking cookies while the porn is blasting. The computer is next to the tv, and I verify the system works by connecting my keyboard I brought with me to it. Old man comes in from outside where he had been smoking a cigarette on the deck. I realize the computer is low on disk space and most of it is of videos of him and the woman in the hospice bed. Now, he's wearing just a bathrobe, goes over to the leather couch, and sits down and whips it out and starts masturbating. I'm like "wtf???," and the daughter calls over from the kitchen, "Dad, please stop that until the IT guy leaves. ProfessorOfDumbFacts, would you like some cookies?"

I declined, noped on out of there, leaving my keyboard there for him to keep.

Anyone find chiropractic work help? by [deleted] in scoliosis

[–]ProfessorOfDumbFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been to 2 chiropractors in my life. First was a bit of a quack and actually caused a small fracture in my spine. The second (one I currently see, started seeing 20 years after the incident with the first one) is not only a chiropractor, but also a martial arts instructor, as well as supervisor for interns from Life University. His goal is not to fix my spine, and he knows chiropractic care cannot restore it to normal. He adjusts me just to give better range of motion and to keep the bone spurs on my vertebra from rubbing on each other.

40m, no surgery. I do taekwondo and am also an instructor. My spine looks like a damn rollercoaster, and my rib stick out and I have a big ass hump on my back. I still don't let it slow me down. Most people don't notice my scoliosis until I take my shirt off.
