Random Raves 49: Cats Can Have Little a Salami

[Commodore]

Why?

I would presume the work will require internet access and home networks are nowhere near as secure as business networks. If they are just having their actual work computers moved from the office to their homes, those computers could contain proprietary or other sensitive information that is now at greater risk of being exposed to those who aren't supposed to see it.

 

[Takhisis]

My employers have arranged for almost all of their staff to work from home. This wasn't something that they had a procedure in place for, so it turned out that the easiest, quickest way to go ahead was just have desktop PCs from the office delivered to every employees house, so we can access our systems more or less as normal. I'm a bit surprised that they didn't have anything else in place, but I'm glad they made it work.

Now let's just hope that they don't try and exploit the fact that the labour market is going to be very employer-friendly for the next few months.

Does it run games efficiently? I'm asking purely for research.

Oh, it's a hunk of crap.

 

[hobbsyoyo]

Why?

It sounds like they are not taking precautions to secure the intra-office network which they are now letting people directly tunnel into from outside the network. This is a big security no-no but warranted for the short term given the circumstances.

Rave: My own work schedule has been massively disrupted for about a month for non-virus reasons and thankfully things should go back to normal next week. The disruption itself was in the form of constantly having to shuffle hours around and generally being on-call. It was unavoidable, normal and necessary given the <redacted, non-viral> circumstances so I'm not butthurt about it. But it'll be nice to go back to a normal 9-5 schedule.

I'd recommend further research.

Oh, btw how do Canadians keep snagging the Raves thread?

It clearly indicates our superiority over the rest of you.

My gf works from home using an encrypted laptop. It accesses the internet through our network, but downstream the encryption, to connect to the company network through its resident decryption. Neither her laptop nor the company network receives anything from the internet or our network that doesn't fit the encryption protocol. I'd assume the delivered computers TF is referencing operate similarly. Admittedly, if the encrypted machine "fell into the wrong hands" the encryption could be broken, but that's outside the boundaries of "getting hacked through the home network."

My theory is Canada or New Zealand should run the world.

Everyone else seems bad at it. Vote for kiwi or maple totalitarian regime. We have biscuits..... And toilet paper.

Hiring Canada to run our country for us might be a good idea.

Groups have sprung up on Facebook to spread a message of "caremongering."

The first of these groups was created for Toronto by Mita Hans, a social services worker.

The organization's page describes it as "A group for sharing and organizing community resources in response to COVID-19."

Members of Caremongering-TO can post questions, requests, information, and even offer up supplies. Posters can also utilize intersection hashtags such as #BloorLandsdowne to indicate locations for supplies or shops that are open.

Caremongers

Just rolls off the tongue.

Hehe. That'd last a hot minute if you got to test the theory. There's just degrees of bad.

In the spirit of camaraderie, I guarantee you guys suck ass too!

We would rule with a velvet glove on behalf of QEII.

Our population bis similar to the USA in 1776. Give us 200 years and a continent (there's a spare one to the west) and we can do better. Pinky promise.

That one mostly sucks. Too much desert. 200 years from now you'd be using that as an excuse.

Dibs on Antarctica then. We're there already and it's getting warmer.

There's this one north of Mexico but the inhabitants are a bit feral and armed with stuff sharper than mango skins.
