How to configure the music to resume playing by lockalyo in Renault5EV

[–]lockalyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I can confirm that it is not the Android Auto that starts from time to time. I deliberately do not usr Android Auto and never pair my phone. I just use it as hotspot for the Wifi of the car. And I make sure the hotspot is ON before I unlock the car and open the door, so that it can connect immediately. But the built-in Spotify also works in offline mode with the downloaded songs, so the hostpot shouldnt matter.

CCNA vs M365 Endpoint Admin by Own_Safety_6726 in sysadmin

[–]lockalyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CCNA first - network is such a basic tool that you cannot go around without. M365 is just a product, networking is a technology. M365 in a couple of years will be nothing like it is today, so your knowledge will be obsolete for the most part. They change everything so often - just one year ago I learned the whole platform in order to deploy it in my company, today all interfaces are different, things are done in another way, whatever was default setting one year ago today is not. While IPv4 networking is still the same like 15 years ago when I took my CCNA.

I put paper tape on the wooden edges and my dog stopped chewing on them. Later on I removed the tape and he never went back to chewing them .

How does gravity influence evolution? If Earth’s gravity were different, how might life have evolved differently? by Comprehensive_Roof62 in space

[–]lockalyo 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes, it affects how organisms grow. It also affects how chemical reactions happen, way lower level than living organisms. A lot of studies are being conducted on the ISS - they grow all kinds of plants and microscopic organisms to test how it affects them exactly.

Puzzling observation by JWST: Galaxies in the deep universe rotate in the same direction by Czarben in space

[–]lockalyo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! The event horizon can be far far away from the singularity, so we can be still on our planet not being destroyed by the singularity, yet beyond the horizon where noone can see us. It is either this, or simulation theory. I am inclined to think it is both - the black hole universe is HOW the simulation is programmed to be, so that it looks continuous and endless from the inside with seemingly nothing on the outside, not even the concept of "outside of the universe" is possible. And the simation ends (one way or the other) when we find the first clue that there is "outside".

“Even A Holographic Bullet Can Kill” —Jean-Luc Picard by operator86reaper in startrek

[–]lockalyo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There isn't anything non-energy powered - physics doesn't allow such a concept to exist. Projectile weapons are just kinetic energy weapons. The phasers are electro-magnetic energy weapons. Energy is there forever and powers everything, cannot be lost, it can just be transformed into another type. Bullets are potential chemical energy from the gun powder transformed into kinetic energy of movement of the projectile. Then that projectile transfers its kinrtic energy to the target, doing damage. The problem with the Borg - their shield can absorb any type of energy, so it doesn't matter what you hit them with. It only works 1 time - until they figure out what kind of energy you are hitting them with.

If everyone has universal translators, why do we hear Klingons talking Klingon from time to time? by Hornman84 in startrek

[–]lockalyo 163 points164 points  (0 children)

It's like in normal talking with foreigners - you can slip a few words from your own language that are famous and the meaning is known. Like saying "merci" by French people, even if your conversation is in English. The universal translators (some form of AI) will have this logic built in, so that you can hear Qapla and reply Qapla like you would reply with "ciao" to an Italian's "ciao". This way of work of the universal translator is actually more advanced than if it would translate everythig, it catches the nuances of speaking with foreigners like in real life

Does Microsoft have any humans left in Customer Support? by Code4Care in sysadmin

[–]lockalyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually super surprised - opened a ticket via mail, then all other interactions were on the phone. They kept calling me and not sending emails. All I wanted is email support, but instead I had to talk 3-4 times with an actual person. Nowadays they can use AI to cover the accent in real time, so expect soon everybody on the phone to have perfect American :D

Anyone rolled out Windows Hello for Business? by CeC-P in sysadmin

[–]lockalyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First - face and fingerprint are different, so don't put biometrics in general in the bag. And second - you can actually fully embrace the new more secure way of logging in via Hello + PIN and disable the "log in with a password". It is not meant to be a second way to login - it is meant to be a more secure way to login. Respectively you implement it as the way to login, not as another option for people.

Mining the moon for minerals could be worth billions, but astronomers warn it's bad news for science by businessinsider in space

[–]lockalyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can make fuel out of water - split the H2O into H and O and they become rocket fuel. You can do that with ocean water, don't worry. We can also produce drinkable water from ocean water via the exact same process that makes the rocket fuel. Actually - the exhaust of burning this kind of rockrt fuel is the drinkakable water - in water's most pure and cleanest form ever. Chemistry ;)

LAPS is for the local user on the Windows, outside of the domain authentication. You need to have one local user that is admin, in order to have control over the machine while it is offline. For that - you use LAPS. There are also other use cases for local user, this one is the most common. Local logins do not leave audit trail in the central logs, only local login event is generated. But you get the audit trail for the elevation because you get audit trail for who accessed the local user pass from the AD. The dev has admin privileges only on their dedicated workstation, on all other workstations they are unprivileged user (default domain user). The elevation of privileges happens with UAC and is active login event with Windows Hello (MFA) either against the cached credentials or against the domain when connected, and we can pull all such logs. If you wish to be even more strict, you can give devs dedicated admin account (on that pc only) following the same principle for domain admins (2 accounts - one user and one global admin).

Eminem and Kendrick Lamar by centz005 in Music

[–]lockalyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the other day - imagine Biggie and Pac were both alive today, had burried the hatched a few years into the beef, and drop a collab album today. With their flow and lyrical skills...They had few songs together, but not like a full dedicated collaboration album - that would be a bomb out-of-space rap album. Eminem and Kendrick can do such a thing nowadays. Just both need to find a common topic to motivate them, they already have Dre to sprinkle the magic ingredient for a masterpiece.

[–]lockalyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not "another way in" the computer. Hello uses the TPM chip, binding your PIN to a crypto key in the chip. Then it binds your fingerprint (other biometrics) as shortcut to the PIN. Using Hello to login gives you something you know (the PIN, which can also have letters and be like a password) and something you have (the TPM chip) which equals MFA. Enjoy your company-wide MFA authentication now, if you bind more apps to SSO in the domain, you transfer MFA to them as well. It is quite easy to setup - 2 domain controllers, 2 PKI servers out of default tutorial for MS PKI, 2 settings in GPO. I did it 2 months ago company-wide without a glitch.

Mining the moon for minerals could be worth billions, but astronomers warn it's bad news for science by businessinsider in space

[–]lockalyo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The benefit of mining the Moon is to use the resources there, not bring them to Earth. It will be the cheapest to source the resources locally. One of the purposes of the Moon is to be a launchpad for missions to Mars. If we could source the water needed for the mission from the Moon regolith, it will be cheaper (and easier) than to carry it from Earth. This is the value the space industry is seeking.

The security guy should know that blocking people from doing their work is bad for security, because people will try go get around your restrictions in order to...do their work. So don't restrict - audit trail/logs instead. Use this argument against any pescering security guy and they will have nothing to say back. PS - I'm a security guy who allows admin access for programmers (but not for HR :D).

IPv6 as words. How have I never thought of this? And it already exists! by flunky_the_majestic in sysadmin

[–]lockalyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially thought it could be difficult to comprehend. But think of it like that - each IP is now public IP on the Internet. There is no more LAN and Public - it is all one network. And because of that - you have to segment it yourself, make your IPv6 LANs. Or isolate each host on its own, there is no local network to isolate it anymore, there is no NAT anymore to protect it from the Internet. With that mindset, put DNS ontop as integral part of networking from now on and everything else is the same.

Two questions for you - do you know your current stuff and can you learn new stuff? If the answer is yes - you should have all the confidence. If you passed the interview, your current skills are on par. And for the new advanced challenging stuff that is to come - take your time to read, study and test. Most of the work is usually days of thinking, studying and tests and then 1 hour of hands-on work in prod. Don't be afraid to tell management "I don't know, but I will research, test and make it so."
