    "Exploit it myself" = prosecutable criminal activity.

    Gee, it's not like we haven't seen casino orders try that one before, even trying to create fake evidence of 'machine malfunctions' or other fraudulent claims trying to get out of paying a jackpot.

    It's a casino. Assume it's corrupt and run by criminals.

    Why do we care what a white supremacist site for Stormfront crossburning-level rejects does?

    You have to remember, Scott "KKK" Walker (who we must remember is a Marquette failout who was kicked out of college for trying to rig a student government election, and who got an "F" in freshman economics) was elected by a bunch of rural inbreds who can't tell they're being lied to.

    Wikipedia's a joke, but they must be desperate for publicity. Donations are falling because their admin corps are a bunch of narcissistic psychos and adderall-laced power freaks more interested in mistreating newcomers than respectful cooperative writing. Well that and all the scandals, including Jimbo's embezzling, the Essjay affair, and on and on.

    Biggest problem is not "ok we're dropping support after version X". It's when they do that and then nuke all the old archives, making it impossible for people with older hardware to still look up and install the "final" versions. Like when LineageOS went forward to their version 15, dropped 90% of their supported devices AND proceeded to nuke the archives from orbit.

    Look over how the vast majority of those who interact with wikipedia get treated by their fraud-squad of "administrators" and you'll learn. Look up their past scandals.

    Real truth: that popup will NEVER go away. Jimmy and the board need their gravy train, and the incestuous squad of admins (more interested in attacking people and showing off power than in building an encyclopedia) have run off most of the regulars who would have donated in years past. Every year more and more people try to contribute only to have some aspergers toolboy admin scream "sockpuppet ban it off with its head" and thus learn why you should never donate to that squad of abusive pricks, ever.

    It turns out if you don't OVERwork people, they're much more productive in their working hours. So the same amount of work gets done AND there's less stress and better employee satisfaction. Anything over 50 hours is terminally stupid, the diminishing returns hit the point of counterproductivity. Worse, it takes months to recover from a prolonged "crunch time" overwork level.

  25. Re:The tech isn't the problem on 80 Percent of IT Decision Makers Say Outdated Tech is Holding Them Back (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful
    The biggest thing was that NONE of their infrastructure was documented when I came in. I would literally find out that something existed if and only if someone reported a problem with it. I found out about the two hardware solutions from a user's laptop when they answered the question of which VPN application they were using was responded to with "this Hamachi thing, I forgot the passwords for the other two and the guy who set them up left."

    Both of the "routers" for the building were in the ceiling. I wasn't allowed to pop my head up above the tiles to work out more than I could find out about them by going into their web control panels. Unfortunately whoever set THOSE up had actually been diligent and changed the factory default passwords...

    The CEO didn't want to spend the money and get billed the hours it would have taken for me to factory-reset things, set them back up properly and document it all so that whoever came next would have the documents on how things were done. His attitude over and over was "just fix what needs fixing, I don't care as long as they can work."

    From what you're describing it sounds like there are good reasons for your VPN overlaps, such as transitioning out a legacy / discontinued system. The issue I was describing was what you get when you've got the standard issue small business though:

    - kludges deployed on the cheap and/or downright "free by violating license terms" by less than scrupulous people

    - completely undocumented setups that haven't been maintained at all and got hooked into each other, sometimes even not by the IT person (there was a "wireless network" in one half of the building that was literally running off of a USB antenna from one user's desktop. I found out about it when they went on vacation and someone complained that "the wireless is down" because they'd shut off their desktop before leaving).

    - Stuff that had been set up by the CEO's "oh but he's a really tech savvy kid, he could probably teach you a few things" nephew. I met the kid once. Nice enough but no, he wasn't "tech savvy" - he was the sort of dope who would plug in an off the shelf wireless AP and leave the SSID and password on factory default, then tell his uncle it was working perfectly. And don't you DARE try to tell the CEO his precious nephew hadn't set something up correctly or securely...

    Oh and just to add insult to injury: their password scheme was nonsensical. The CEO insisted that everyone's password be their two initials, a dash, and then the company name. So that he "could check into any account if he needed to." He also had a bad habit of firing people without warning and not-on-good-terms, while not remembering to let his IT person know when someone was fired and to disable their account. Little good though that would probably do since everyone instantly understood the password "system"...
