Re: Webcam Shield?
Too much hassle, a post-it note works just as well.

Same here - twin monitors and full size keyboard in the office hung off an encrypted Yoga1 (the desk is shared with another, we just don't go into the office on the same days). At home I plug it into twin monitors and a full size keyboard too.
No I don't close the lid - it's effectively a 3 monitor setup - 2x 22" monitors for work, laptop screen for distractions - I mean work related IM.
Pay her enough not to work for anyone else for the year. Include this in any contracts.
(Along the lines of "if you leave we will continue to pay you x% of salary (percentage to be based on value of information held) for a period of one year on the understanding that you won't work for our competitors or share proprietary time sensitive data in that period. You will not be privy to any of our new data during this period so when it expires your knowledge will be out of date.")
Or is that too simple?
From Schlock Mercenary:
Commander Kevyn: So we're supposed to evacuate the rest of them?
Commodore Tagon: Sure, that would be a great solution. Let's call that "Plan A."
Captain Murtaugh: Also known as "Ablative armor that probably won't protect Plan B."
Captain Tagon: Plan B always takes the bullet for Plan C. That's why the alphabet has more than three letters.
Too bloody right!
UAT testing should be 10 mins on script.
Then over to the actual important stuff -
Does it do what I need it to do?
Can I break it? if not, can I get it to do something unexpected?
If it is an upgrade - Does it still do what it did before (correctly)? or did they break that too?
Give UAT to the people who actually use the system day to day, just like any changes should be what the users can demonstrate a need for.
The end users should be the ones who are tasked with signing off the UAT- it is their own fault if things don't work properly afterwards if they skimped on testing.
That should fill out the time sheet nicely too.
Yes I do feel strongly about this, why do you ask?
The USB goes into the PC, the 1/4" jack into the Strat.
The convertors? yep got a few of those - in both directions - it's hard to find cheap headphones with 1/4" jacks these days.
Also found a T-piece tree with half a dozen terminators on it in my spares drawer. - Haven't used 10 Base 2 in decades and moved house 3 times.
Confirmed for a Mitsubishi Phev - 30miles reported range - usually get 23-24 in the summer not using the AC.
Winter? 18 miles if lucky, and even then the 2 litre generator kicks in until the batteries have warmed up (if temp below 10C).
But you can pre-heat the cabin by remote before unplugging it from the mains in the morning!
I have to disagree with you there This tiny thing is the perfect size - not metal but not enough sticking out to be bent when a wheelie chair is slammed into it.
Plus it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb plugged into a car usb slot (64GB of rock, metal, industrial... saves filling up the phone with music).
Someone (Roland6 I'm looking at you) beat me to this.
Yes, if you take them off road at 50+ mph.
Take a look at WRC cars and the states they get into. You cannot state that they count as poorly maintained or substandard parts (back in the 90's it was reportedly £25K per wheel for an Impreza's suspension, compared to not much more than that for the entire civvy car with a full set held ready for end of stage replacement).
Put any machine through enough abuse and it will fall apart, given it is military I would expect the abuse to be far higher than any civvy car - other than one that's been TWOC'd of course!
Helicopter icon for falling wheels!
That would entirely depend on what documentation you kept, where you flagged up the potential flaws and were overruled by manglement on the grounds of cost.
Or if the hack is down to your failure to follow the recorded design spec because you couldn't be bothered/knew better.
Basically get everything in writing.
Fair point.
Pretty much the same reason I would never (again) touch a car where the electrics had been done by the French.
Disclosure - I have had Peugeots and Renaults and they have all had severe electrical faults -even to the point where the electric motor for the rear passenger window caught fire (Megane). Never again.
I'll stick with Ford from now on.
and the repeat 20 years later of China copying Japanese (and everybody else's) motorbikes and cars.
Though still not up to a Ninja, Triumph or a Ducati the Chinese bikes now are a vast improvement over those 5 years ago - let alone 10.
I'm so Meta - Even This Acronym.
Can't remember where I saw it - apologies for lack of attribution.
of course it was Obligatory XKCD reference
Preaching to the choir there.
The number of hoops I have had to jump through in the past to make sure I stayed independent and was not breaching the compliance policy just to select the funds in my SIPP is horrendous.
Now I just make sure it is not a client (easy - read last year's annual report), stay clear of the corporate finance teams near the coffee machine, register my interests with compliance and I'm free to invest.
