Buy a prepaid visa with cash. Not technically a credit card, but it may be what you’re looking for.

Yeah, we have similar sensors at my job. I work in a highly secured facility and smoke/vape detectors are installed in all the bathrooms. It makes the fire alarm go off if detected.

Agreed! “Keys-Wallet-Phone”. Say this every time you go somewhere. Been using this for decades and it always works.

Denying putting work stuff on your phone is absolutely valid. The company should provide a company device in that case. And if you do agree to put company data on your phone, they should give a monthly stipend towards your phone bill. That’s how every org I’ve worked at has approached it.

I would never join a group chat like that. If they need to get ahold if me after hours, they can call me.

BTW Teams doesn’t live on Intranet. There’s no reason they wouldn’t be able to open up Teams to BYOD beyond incompetence.

Why would a workplace need a group chat? Aren’t there any enterprise tools in place to achieve that?

Agreed, but it wasn’t my decision and TBF they didn’t lose our passwords.

Idk, not my department.

I don’t recommend Bitwarden. I used them in a corporate environment and they lost all of our company’s credentials. It was a huge hit that cost tens of thousands worth of man-hours to overcome. Their response was to shrug and say sorry. We were paying a premium for their services, too, and have moved onto LastPass.

Namecheap domains include a dynamic DNS application for free and it works well. Be aware that it only runs on Windows.

For individuals, yes. For organizations, no. Orgs who know what they’re doing use a HSM for their data encryption. Thus the title of this post is inaccurate.

But from the consumer side, I am absolutely never going to buy a “Copilot Plus” device, whatever that is.

I thought that surely it couldn’t be that bad. But…

“Recall uses Copilot+ PC advanced processing capabilities to take images of your active screen every few seconds,” Microsoft says on its website. “The snapshots are encrypted and saved on your PC’s hard drive. You can use Recall to locate the content you have viewed on your PC using search or on a timeline bar that allows you to scroll through your snapshots.”

G Suite is a legitimate option for small-medium businesses. It’s seen as the cheaper, simpler option versus Azure. I usually recommend it for nonprofits as they have a decent free option for 501c3 orgs.

Excuse me sir, if I may offer a rebuttal: Fuck you with a cactus.

Self hosted is fine - I have a dev server I can toss it on. Thanks!

This looks perfect. Thanks!

Thank you sir

Tldr?
