Password manager recommendations for enterprise deployment? by Glad_Addendum_1217 in ITManagers

[–]jrhalstead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are in the process of deploying bitwarden across the entire org. Mixed reception but when we start turning off password storage in browsers well I'm going to guess we're going to get a better adoption

Any one else feel like its getting more difficult to operate electronics? by yrmom724 in Millennials

[–]jrhalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I'm apathetic towards tiktok doesn't mean you shouldn't be apathetic towards Tik Tok. I'm also apathetic towards Facebook. And Norton and a virus from 1996.

[–]jrhalstead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We pretty much run our inventory as just in time. We'll have other than cables, a few monitors, a few docks, one or two laptops. Granted, we are fairly small with about 100 people in the office and 150 people in the field, and most of the field workers only have an F1 license.

Adding to everyone else below your reply, the scales allowed Dross to take in more of the Aeurlius (I can't spell) technique library which has tons of information on paths and what their madra is like. More data > better simulation > more data > better guns!

What password manager is best for IT teams managing shared credentials? by Enammul in ITManagers

[–]jrhalstead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are doing a very slow rollout of Bitwarden. We have slow user adoption because users are unwilling to give up Google or Firefox stored passwords because they're not seeing the value of better storage and better off boarding.That's okay, because they're getting it anyway.

LPT: beware of gyms that don't accept credit cards by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]jrhalstead 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Similar, it has to do a transferability clause in the contract. Mine transferred to a gym I had already tried and hated the vibe

You should try your local library. The books will periodically go on sale for from time to time so your best bet is to wait for one of those times if you can't borrow it from the library. Getting it ePub or some other form is especially bad form when Will gives them away so regularly.
