Fake political ads on Facebook has got to stop. I see no difference between lies originated by domestic and foreign influencers.

Oooo. Had to really put on the thinking cap today (11/14) to get this question right. A little bit of "proving (or not proving) a negative" had to be done.

WLC's remain a challenge due to the CAPWAP tunneling--NTA can't see into it like it can for non-encrypted traffic. We have a few 8540's and a bunch of 5800's, and it would be nice to gather full NetFlow data about all wireless traffic from the 10,000 clients using our 3000 AP's. The best we can see is a LOT of traffic…

I hadn't seen that triad before, and I like it. It reminds me much of the Business Triangle: Fast, Good, Cheap. You can have any two at the cost of the third.

That "being engaged as a result of the Mission Questions requiring thought" is the best response! And it might be the best incentive for SW to continue on the path of creating questions that can't be solved with a CTRL+F.

Your last eight words nailed it. An answer should be verifiably correct from every different angle, including being able to eliminate all wrong answers. It should never be uncertain or gray . . .

Good for you, greg.remer@spe.sony.com​. SolarWinds calls on me for UX contributions every year or two. I think the more people that sign up for UX experiences the fewer calls I get. Here's hoping you'll be able to participate in a UX session soon.

You're exactly right, Destiny. But . . . you'll be healthier for the outside activities and exercise and less burned out by screen time, and I'd bet you'll probably sleep better for the fresh air and activity. All while someone's using your Equifax info to make purchases against your credit cards.

That sounds like an RTFM solution in the making. But instead of sending you that direction, what research have you done that might explain why this behavior was chosen by SW?

Apple making it harder for police, and others to access your Apple devices? If that's a problem, spend some money and spend your vote on solutions that improve humanity, not ones that reward greed.

A dark theme option would be so much easier on the eyes . . .

Austin would be a reasonable vacation destination for me (from Minnesota), and I could get reimbursed for the travel time. But missing five days of local fun in Austin with my wife? Ouch--I'd be in her bad graces for years!

I've got a mouthful of fillings and many painful memories of visits to the dentist as a result of that particular practice.

1. Block Chain Wills. The claim of security and restricted access seems to fly in the face of experience: Users were told that WEP was as secure as wired transmissions, yet that was proven false in just a few weeks. Innovators always discover new ways to repurpose technology towards a goal of achieving faster cracking &…

Hidden cameras. Bad morals, poor ethics. Why aren't we teaching the next generations better behavior and then testing and verifying it's happening. Why don't we require good behavior from others? Why don't we offer it to others from ourselves? Stop doing business with unethical people or companies or countries, and publish…

I appreciate the optimism of the story about the death of supply chain management, but I'll take the low risk and say "That's not going to be an issue within my lifetime." I could be wrong. But when Amazon and UPS and FedEx still have problems with inventory and shipping management, I don't know how we can trust an article…

Thank you very much. Rick S.

AAUUGGGHHHH! NO! (Poor Bill . . .)

When disaster strikes the same spot repeatedly, there are a few things that might be done to reduce the impact. But they take intelligence and willingness to change. For example: * One city on the Mississippi River was flooded and destroyed many times over the years. Finally someone convinced the townspeople that this made…

The difference between an attacker and a hacker can sometimes be their intent and ethics. Some folks like the informal and friendly idea of a hacker being someone who tries their best to do their job, but isn't always aware of the best practices. Sort of like a hacker on the golf course, who hacks their way from tee to…

When MoviePass, Netflix, Amazon, and their competitors come up with quality movies that I want to see, that don't advertise to me before I can see the movie, and that stream well over the slow Internet speeds available to me and my peers in the boondocks, I'll still go fishing and exploring and taking up new physical…

Of course, there probably are different answers to your questions, based on local users & circumstances. And I realize your questions are rhetorical. But they sparked some thoughts: You wrote: 1. If we understand and know the security needs why do we not address them continually? Some Ideas: * Growing up in a culture…

That's an excellent example of NOT following DevOps processes. It's too bad your administration team doesn't understand that DevOps includes doing the job the right way, instead of only worrying about getting it done quickly. An unhappy customer is the result. I'm sure that's not their intent, but it certainly is the…

That Office Depot story is certainly disheartening. What an abuse of trust! Completely unethical. I'd love for the company to be fined much more seriously for this repeated egregious behavior.

Bump. I like this idea.

I'll bet the decision makers responsible for not allowing the breach to be reported to the public until after profits have been taken during stock sales won't be prosecuted. No time will be served by anyone. Maybe the profits gained will be paid back in penalties, which will be negotiated to lower amounts. Sigh. When money…

Thank you for the link! The process identified for removing ports IS easy--but only for small quantities of ports. I'm looking for NPM to be upgraded to automatically give us the option to quickly select all removed/obsolete ports, allow us to uncheck any that are desired for historical or statistical reference, and then…

This should be included as a submission in the Flowetry page, don't you think?

Your choice of words and actions was worthy of a good help desk person and a member of the military. Thank you for not belittling the 1st Lt., and for providing training to prevent future problems, and for removing a damaged piece of gear. Nicely done.

Part of the preventing losing one's mind while working in I.T. involves training. For everyone. Training so that: * The Help Desk does correct triage and solves most problems on the first call in the first two minutes * All teams understand their tools thoroughly * Everyone knows documentation is required, and how it's to…
