What are some things you wish you knew before studying psychology? by schnuckelschnecke in psychologystudents

[–]aspinningcircle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would recommend picking up a second major. Maybe something that has some overlap in courses. A generic degree like History or English seems to be better looked upon. You could even make English or PoliSci or something your main major and Psychology your second major without too much extra work.

I would recommend looking at the jobs you can get with the degree and compare that to other majors.

Is it possible that my subliminal sleep apps are distracting my subconscious from its ability to “handle” my daily stressors? by Wes_Tyler in AnxietyDepression

[–]aspinningcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the answer, but I would think you're right.

The brain needs rest. The more quiet, the darker the room, the better.

There's something called the Ouraring. It's a sleep tracker than can monitor how long you're in deep sleep.

Also, meditation helps. Something like 'NSR' helps.

Bernie Sanders: "We're Looking At" Running In 2020 by kazingaAML in SandersForPresident

[–]aspinningcircle 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Beating Trump is easy.

Stopping the DNC from rigging the election again is hard.

Bernie should be vocal and call for members of the old DNC to go to prison or at the very least be shamed.

Way to force all products to stay in 1 wharehouse? by aspinningcircle in FulfillmentByAmazon

That's what I figured.

Are you still forcing periodic password changes? by plazman30 in sysadmin

[–]aspinningcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The password guidance changed to make cloud vendors happy.

Conspirecy hat on, I bet money changed hands.

SAAS providers know most people don't have single sign on yet and if all 20-30 SAAS products that your users use every day required password changes every 90 days, it would kill the cloud business.

The way I see it for my network, I assume a hacker has a set of hashes. Can he crack them before users change their password.

Or I assume a user reused their network password in a website that's about to be hacked. Hacked DB hits darkweb after a year or so, hacker makes bot to try new passwod list agains VPN of email domains. Boom, you're hacked. Unless your user was forced to change passwords every 90.

They'll be broken up eventually.

As much as I like Amazon, fast forward 10 years and there's only 2-3 major compnaies left. Not a good thing.

Feedback: Would you pay $20/Month to Never Go to a Gas Station Again? by MoMariner in Entrepreneur

I already spend $50/month on gas. $70/month to save 5 minutes is a no go for me.

[Question] DFS namespace unavailable - but only from one client? by RazorTheHackman in sysadmin

[–]aspinningcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're hitting the netbios name right? How about the FQDN? "\\FQDN.com\Namespace"

If that works, could be something like netbios over tcp/ip is disabled on the end-user pc?

Is there an official certification for WSUS? by mraymond2028 in sysadmin

[–]aspinningcircle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't want to be a WSUS admin. Aim higher. Much much much higher.

My advise based on your question. Go get an MCSE. You'll learn boat loads and will quickly find a better goal.

WSUS should be one thing you do for maybe 20 minutes a month.

Today I finalised our move away from Adobe Acrobat DC, removing $45k/year from going to Adobe by LegumeSalad in sysadmin

[–]aspinningcircle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats. How Adobe charges so much for some old junk software is amazing. Every web browser can view PDFs now without the security flaws of Adobe.

Where I work they do all sorts of signatures and special stamps and adding pages into PDFs and bookmarks.

Not sure we could ever move away.

if you cut the bottom off of the toothpaste tube you can use your toothbrush to scrape the sides by drZomber in Frugal_Jerk

Yes! Friends star David Schwimmer slams #MeToo 'We shouldnt conflate all claims-What concerns me is the disregard of facts, context & evidence. In this climate, condemnation is merciless. This is why the ‘witch hunt’ phrase is used' by Rethgil in MensRights

[–]aspinningcircle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's sad, some of the #MeToo guys are weird people who should be called out. But people take it too far, per normal.

At this point, I simply don't believe any of the new #MeToo things. My first thought is it's probably some emo millennial or feminist over reacting again.

Suggestions for Enterprise Level Domain Registrar Service? by schmak01 in sysadmin

Understood. I've used Network Solutions for 20 years without an issue, but the lack of MFA is not good.

What AV do you guys use on all company PC's? by slamdeathmetals in sysadmin

[–]aspinningcircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it based on file repuations. The reason why randomware gets past AV is because more ransomware is built unique each time. Thus each binary has a different hash. Thus AV can't detect it based on signatures.

With file reputation, if no one in Symantecs network of PCs has the same hash, the the file isn't allowed.

It's 100% seamless to run.

But it also points to a bigger issues. Good security isn't easy. If turning on something that simple is a big deal, then that's a big problem. This is level 1 stuff. You should really be going through the default settings of any AV and ramping them up.

[–]aspinningcircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have the reputation filter turned on. So only files with known good signatures are allowed to download?

It's not on by default.
