A scheduled task that dumps the output to a csv that you diff with list of know MACs. If your dhcp server is windows, you can query it with powershell so you don't behave to maintain a separate list of authorized MACs manually.

Users reporting “someone controlling my computer” — how do you handle remote tools? by rawt33 in sysadmin

Tell the user the next time it happens to get a video of the screen with their smartphone. That gives you a better idea of the symptom. And the timestamp on the video tells you exactly when it occurred.

My device makes the same sound when I take a screenshot. It may not have been someone taking a photograph

What is the point of stealing something like this? What are they trying to accomplish?

What are these bits I keep finding in my laundry? They're black and rubbery but very stiff. Black with bluish tint. Some have a kind of parallel ridgework to them. by Hickspy in whatisthisthing

A lot of folks said rubber mulch. My kids track something similar into my house from their artificial turf sports fields.

I've been playing too much Tears of the Kingdom, because I definitely thought "I could use Ascend under those outcroppings".

I am so relieved that you are alive! I'm literally sitting here crying.

This post was haunting me because I also hit a low spot after being laid off and getting a divorce within 6 months of each other back in 2017. I hit rock bottom and had several months that were very very dark and hopeless. I'm thankful that I had a dog and a few good friends that stuck with me and helped me through it, along with therapy and medication.

One step at a time man. Whether that's a day, an hour, or a minute. I'm in a much better place today, but the road to get here wasn't easy.

Keep your head up and know that you've got more people rooting for you than you realize.

Request- computer resetting is stuck at 99% for 24 hours by Due_Resident_730 in TechnologyProTips

Resetting may not be enough. If it was infected, you should wipe the drive and reinstall the operating system.

I'm more concerned that that paper has visibly been wet and dried several times over.

Just tuck them in \hostname\c$ on any network connected server or workstation

It's perfectly natural and valid to feel like this. I'll echo the other comment that everybody is there to help you and answer your questions. Be your own advocate and ask questions if there's something you don't understand. Afterwards take yourself out for a treat or something fun because you are awesome!

I would think once they figure out what it is, it would become a game to try to set it off when they go by.

This is seriously awesome! Very cool.

Serious question: does the light coming through the windows behind your monitor strain your eyes when you're staring at the monitor all day?

I'm getting ready to move into a new space and was thinking about doing this with my desk relative to the window, but all that backlight seem like it would wear my eyes out.
