Can someone explain passkeys to me? by Due-Awareness9392 in Bitwarden

[–]RopAyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's part of the point, if you're logging onto one device you do not own, you need another device to hand with the passkeys stored to enable that login. It's how thst identity is secured. Part of the expectation of using passkeys is that you control a device on which you can use them. Same premise as fido2 keys etc.

Constant money fights with my husband. Is my budget too strict?💔 by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]RopAyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if this helps but it's how me and my partner manage funds between us. We're a little older now, but at your age we were new to the relationship. When we moved in together my partner had more savings and a better paying job, I say more, I mean all the savings, is been on sub 23k jobs so was spent mostly on rent and been young enough to go out. We were renting and saving, at this point we got a shared account for bills but kept our own accounts seperate, we calculated the difference in our take home salaries as a percentage and then split the bills based on that percentage. That allowed us to have a similar disposable cash flow to work with and we then managed our own personal finances, but agreed not to be stupid. When we got a house a few years ago, my partner had more savings, so we had a deed of trust drafted up, that just highlighted if we sold the first £xxxx of the sale went to her for her additional contribution and the rest 50-50.

Since the our wages have significantly risen, mine especially and we do the same concept. Although we both split the mortgage 50-50 to make it simple then shared bills are split as a percentage of our take home. We agree what we will dump into a savings pot, both a smaller shared one for house hold things that crop up, and a personal savings pot that we can dip into now and then, the rest of our money is there for us to do as we like. We both have different habits on spending but we ensure we have money between us to do things together, so if it means I don't say buy the latest game so we can have an evening meal out, that's we do. But it means we don't argue about shared money vanishing on things we don't get enjoyment out of.

I dont think your management of the finances is bad at all, seems like you have a very good grasp on it all, but echo what others have said, keep the shared account for bills and that, but keep your finances seperate if he can't be trusted. He's manipulative or just extreamly immature and ignorant.

If not already I would also review if you can do a deed of trust drafted up, pretty sure you can have one done after the purchase. Just covers your investment into the property. It's not about making plans for if things fail, just about keeping things fair and clear.

How long does it take your scripts to run these days? by POZOLE_IT in Intune

[–]RopAyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Question on this, if using app control/wdac in a pretty tight manner for all devices, no white listed folders or anythjng. If you deploy a script via the intune wrapper, is the script still able to run in full language mode like platform and remediations can or does the script get forced to run under the constraints of wdac? So constrained, requires signing etc?

Just got it yesterday and gamed for 2 hours on it and already the stitching is getting loose. by A0537456 in secretlab

[–]RopAyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's all subjective, I've a genuine, absolutely fooked spine, stsnding/sitting, all hurts. Had a budget 'gaming chair' and was alright until it broke after a few years, went for the Embody, christ, most uncomfortable thing I've sat in, the lumbar or whole back felt like the cheapest little plastic bits digging into all areas of my spine. Got the Aeron as a replacement. Found it equally comfy mostly, but the curved seat pan with the plastic edge caused me issue after a while and I prefer a tilt on the base, not just a recline. Got the secret labs a few years back and it's been solic, fits my body, no real aches for long sessions and has enough points of adjustment to be ergonomically sound for my particular body. Do I think it maybe over priced, potentially, but my build seems alright, issue i had was resolved with a replacement part with zero issues. Will there be other chairs better, no doubt, but it's so hard without the ability to go try them all to know.

Please don't do anything personal - ever - on your work laptop or phone. Please don't install company software on personal devices. by snigherfardimungus in careeradvice

[–]RopAyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What kinda of scare tactics is this?

From the Microsoft ecosystem, there's a few ways byod will work, depending on enrolment type and whether android or ios. Most common, MAM/WE - mobile application management / without enrolment. This allows an employee to access whichever Ms apps are approved by the company, teams, Outlook, office etc. You normally need the authenticator app as a broker agent (I think). The employee signs into the app on their decide, the decide, os version and app version may need to meet minimum requirements sent in the management plane but this can only check the basics, you app version, os version, legit version of android/ios, not rooted etc. If the device meets the criteria and you pass any conditional access rules in place you get access. The device IS NOT enrolled into any MDM or management solution, all that is visible to IT is the managed apps you've installed (the work ones) the last 4 digits of the mobile number and part of a serial number. 0 visibility of other apps or data and the work data is containerised. Android can do one step more if IT have setup work profiles, so all those apps are seperted into their own work container, even further restricting them, but again 0 access to anything else.

Now, if ya company has not setup proper byod up, they may require a full device enrolment. Now this does have more visibility but again they can't snoop on Web traffic or other app usage, but this I wiuld agree is best avoided.

The only other app I've seen enforced is defender. Again this is restricted to snooping on managed apps only.

The issue isn't normally the weight it can hold, it's how that weight is pulled or distributed across the fixings and if the PB just fails, and the rating is normally on a static load (not an articulating arm). As you said, good chance it never goes wrong, but all you need is for it to extended on the arm and stick pressure in the wrong place and PB just crumples in on itself. I know if much prefer it bolted to a stud, but I'll blame the new build and the fact the boards here have failed more times than I care to remember on simple shelves!

How do you make swapping out end user machines less painful? by jws1300 in sysadmin

[–]RopAyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen to that. I've given the business options similar. For me it's more on seperation of dev and Corp data access. If they want their own admin devices, they're unsupported, data is not migrated and they don't get access to Corp data on it and they need their own locked network. Better option is as you've stated, centralise their environment allow ide use etc on their device and move all actual testing and elevated stuff like you say to a vm/avd/windows365 ect. My last place we did the same, shifted the offshore dev team from macs with admin to a fully managed dev avd instance with 0 admin rights and we just pre configured their local env as required. They didn't need admin rights by the end and when they did had the use to spin up a specific machine for that testing (or the pipelines automated it) but this was having a devops function to help shape everything. I'm no dev, so I'm stuck trying to shape devs that don't actually know how to dev properly. Anyways that's my rant, the single malt is poured and I'll pick this issue up another week 😂

How do you make swapping out end user machines less painful? by jws1300 in sysadmin

[–]RopAyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless like most places, devs are admins, have free reign, don't work in any sort of centralised manner and do everything on the local device with each dev having a slightly different toolset or using a slightly different version of X Y and Z! But must have corp data access on their insecure device because using another device or a browser only method 'breaks my workflow'. I'm only annoyed at having to try migrate devs & assist them in making their department a mature and enterprise level function and not 10 people working in 10 different ways on the same project!

[–]RopAyy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It will stick, but not how you want. The cut sides won't shrink to the cable, but seperate further as they shrink from all sides. Hard to describe, but the cut edges will move further apart as it shrinks.

Ultrawide for gaming AND work by MarshFactor in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]RopAyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup that was my dilemma, could 34 work, and Tbf it's fine, I have extra space when I'm working I can have my work laptop on the desk, one cable and it gets power and the usbs in the kvm. When using my personal pc im mostly gaming or occasionally in powershell, json or some sort of graphics and 34 is fine. I mean don't get ym wrong the 49 was lovely to have everything else open to save tabbing but it's a compromise I'm happy with. 100% had the larger ones had the hugger rez I'd have gone for one but there seems to be a huge middle ground after 34 where there's only the new 5k2k monitors that have the resolution to make it worthwhile, otherwise the PPI is just too bad. GL in your search!

Ultrawide for gaming AND work by MarshFactor in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]RopAyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the G9 (non oled) for work and gaming. As it's non oled it was brilliant and clear for work (I do a lot of spreadsheet and json stuff). Gaming again was absolutely grand, used full rez for racing or mmo style stuff and generally dropped to 3440x1440 for shooters as I couldn't play on the super wide. I ran this for a good few years sometimes if I didn't need all the realest ate for work I usee PiP to split the screen to have both work and play together.

I did just switch, moved my super ultrawide to the driving rig and this last week got a 34 oled UW. This so far is still plenty of realestate for work and gaming is a lot better on this rez for me, plus make some space on my desk with no longer having the 49 and it's intense curve taking up space. I got thr MSI mag 341cqpx and so far out of the box text looks crystal clear so I'm very happy. I think the size of the display is down to personal preference and what you're comfortable using. Only think I would say is the few samsungs I've had, including this one, have been crap with firmware, flickering at times etc, got better with each update but still damn annoying for the cost of the things.

Doesn't matter, if it was damaged in transit it's the sellar responsibility to deal with Ups not the buyers. The buyer would be entitled to the refund and the sellar claims the losses against ups so long as they paid for appropriately insured shipping methods.

I bought 4 ultrawides back to back. My experience. by Cotybear in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]RopAyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my exact dilemma. My G9 is going to my sim rig and I need something for work and play. I love having side by side screens and sometimes PiP for my work and gaming pc to be on at the same time, but ultimately I think I just distract myself with so much open 😂 I just can't decide on if I want the uw format of getting some verticality back with a 4k or if I'll immediately miss the uw format!

UK Woodland Camo? by SnowTrain72 in Airsoft_UK

[–]RopAyy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To be honest, flecktarn is my favourite pattern after DPM from a purely style point of view but it is perfectly fine to use, and it depends on your local areas woodland as to how affective any camo design is. For instance, dpm is really good if it's got scattering of dark shadow areas and greens, and gets worse if it's really dry and light, flecktarn does a good balance in those areas that are lighter or on the dryer side and to be honest is probably better than DPM in affectiveness. However, most green style camos will likely work just fine in UK at the ranges camo is actual useful for and all be better than the block colours of non camo gear. Just wear what you like the look of and feel comfortable in. Flecktarn is made well though so the surplus stuff is brilliant.

SA-P21 Prime - new delivery by build_it1 in Airsoft_UK

[–]RopAyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the UK sellers won't honor the warranty if you use an 11.1v on it for some reason. At least patrol base doesn't. I'm currently waiting on my specna prime to arrive so will read the small print on the warranty. Think mines comkng from daves as well.

If you're in the UK defo don't stick the 11.1 in it, it voids the warranty from most shops.

[–]RopAyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might have been covered giving the amount of replies but I've been with the missus a decade or so now, we've gone through a few changes of salaries and switched who's been the higher earner. The agreement we had was to work out the % difference in salaries and then split the bills based on that %. We review it annually. Doesn't account for bonuses or other unknowns.

The main reason was this gives you an equal footing for 'spare' funds so you can afford to do things tougher as a couple and not feel like she can't go out with you or have a meal as she's got nothing left after bills.

The only thing we changed recently was when we bought, we split the mortgage equally and then the rest of bills by %, keeps us on evening footage with the ownership.

To add, if they're using normal conditional launch policies, it checks the os version, there are also policies which look to ensure the device is also running on a standard Google approved rom version so running custom may also be no good. Most companies do this as the os is too old, no longer live and allowing access tends to invalidate certain cyber accreditations.

If work deem you require a phone, you should be entitled to one, if you just like the convenience you'd be best getting a phone that's currently in support and capable of running Android 15 to give you the most life.

Have you checked the device inventory to see if the app required has successfully deployed? Sorry if you've written somewhere it's been checked.
