I've not had to hack in at all. Just let thing take their natural course and watch with amusement. For example on place had a MySQL 4 server that would just lock up every few months. The solution was to restart the service and then repair the table and all was good for three more months. I documented it, let everyone know and departed the company.
Couple months later it was claimed they were hacked. I knew what the real problem was. They weren't hacked just bad SQL causing MySQL 4 o freak out.
This is precisely why I went into I.T./I.S. The dress code if there was one can be t-shirts, polos, etc. and sneakers. The field has some of the most lax dress codes around.
Drives my SO crazy though since it's known I look pretty good in a suit and tie getup. I hate it as in my early schooling it was shirts and ties. We rebelled against it of course.
It's funny - the second time I worked for the state when we moved offices I specified the full height cubicles. None of the what I term "fuck you" cubes were used in I.T.
Plus subdued lighting - it was very conducive to getting things done. I pretty much despise open plan offices.
Yeah I've seen this in action. I had two people under me, one in office and one remote in northern California. I got questioned repeatedly what the guy out in California did - he was our domain master and handled all the sub domain necessary for our business. Neither of the two of us in office wanted to do that as we had systems and telecom on our plate that were a time suck.
The only time I got any sort of training for management is when I worked as I.T. Director for the Rhode Island Department of Attorney General. They sent us off to management training at the Department of Administration - it's where I found out I am a team builder.
But anywhere else I've worked - nothing. Just tossed in sink or swim.
Exactly - it's enforced seat time. What they don't realize is productivity in office is sometimes less than when everyone works from home. It's strange as all hell I guess they look at the empty seats and say to themselves that they're paying for all that square footage yet nobody is there so lets bring them back into the office so we can lord over them.
In college they had a DEC PDP-11/70 that students could use. Now prior I learned RSTS/E from my aunt who had all the manuals. And I'm a voracious reader. I realize that allocate command is quite useful on RSTS/E - in essence you could take control of another terminal.
So we wrote a chat program, a password snarfer etc. One night the process blew up. Next morning I'm in the I.T. Directors office. They revoked my access. I left the school. Went to another school and all was well.
Between how GM does things and how a startup can do things. So I call the head of GM an idiot for this one. It's funny I'm in the market for a new car - saw a review of the Chevy Bolt - I applaud that they have an available electric car, but the interior on the car is as cheap looking as you can get.
Recall Silverlight that flaming piece of shit media player. They dropped that like a hot potato too. And Groove - I've got a Windows 10 box and I don't use Groove at all. Instead it's an Amazon music player and they are lease haven't dropped the ball yet.
That the brain is approximately like jello in texture. That being said it also has some plasticity - it probably re-grew the connection to some level. It happens.
For example, I regularly get snail mail from Cox Communications asking me to re-up for Contour service. Sure it's only $15 but I know that it's just going to go up from there. They've done it before, they'll do it again.
I know one place I worked, and infosec vendor - one client was a regional bank in the mid Atlantic region. The banks infosec guy didn't know boolean logic.
Then one place I'd worked - when I left the guy who was there before me came back. This is after he went to work as an infosec guy for a local bank. He calls me one days and asks what a piece of hardware is, and then proves he doesn't know jack about the IPv4 dot notation limits of 255.
Why? For years they've been overcharging us because they've lobbied to wreck the regulatory schema. For example Susan Crawford's book "Captive Audience" has a section where she crunches the numbers, net service we pay $30 to $80 for per month, it costs them between $2 and $3 to provide it. I could see tripling or even quadrupling the cost but come on a factor between 10 and 40 is applied. That's just out and out rape.
Because I block Bing on my firewall as I discovered Microsoft was using it for the Windows 10 phone home. Just block 65.52.108.210, 204.79.197.200 and 13.107.21.200 - buh bye Bing! And it's funny my firewall logs - it's all hits to those IP's. So I know I blocked the right ones. So far nobody on this network has complained and there are about 8 of us using it. And not a single Windows mobile device either.

Oh and that's the other thing. For anyone WFH who missed a meeting, we'd always dump the shit tasks on them.

Would be for the U.S. to extend diplomatic recognition to Catalonia. That might stop Spain in its tracks.
Well kiss your 4th amendment rights goodbye then.

Because you can get prescription drugs on Amazon without a prescription now.
2.5% Neanderthal, and about 80% European. I tan just fine.
Because duty on a submarine is six hours of sleep.

I rarely if ever use Edge.
At a grocery scoring company. It soon emerged that the score would plummet on say broccoli the moment you add sugar, salt or fat.

Doesn't inspire great confidence.

They'd rather spend half a million dollars on lobbying versus spending it on InfoSec? Talk about perverted priorities.

I run a VPN just so I can watch content in other countries. Just swap my VPN to that country and it's all good.
Why not the whole car? Be fun watching the police try to chase a ghost.
