I'm going on vacation in August for a week. Probably the longest I've ever taken at one time. I'm not a big vacation person haha. I like to work.
Still hard to imagine. We are forced by law to take at least 12 days in a row once a year here.
Say - What?
Oh I would go nuts.... after two days I'm miserable.. I have to be doing something..
Guess what, I've got a little survival pack...

What am I doing right now? Fighting with RingCentral for the last 7 days to attempt to get them to address a problem we have been experiencing with outgoing faxes when it goes through the Fax "Printer". Happens on multiple computers, multiple files, etc not constrained to 1 environment. They escalated it, deescalated it due to it being a problem with the file (even though i told them it happened on mutiple files), escalated it again, and desecalated it due to lack of troubleshooting. Then they want me to repeat the hour+ of testing we did on Friday. All the while promising me call backs every step of the way and never calling me back.
sorry needed to vent, I cant wait for our PBX upgrade and for me to take all of this back in-house.

WTF is wrong with the UK and why doesn't the EU have basic voting rules?

Well it would make sense to use a pencil if they were using a scan card system.
But seriously, talk about making it easy to change votes around...

I can't believe that... really. Here, like in every country (at least I thought so), you have to use a ball pen or something that can't be erased like a pencil.

at least you have some sort of paper ballot. We are stuck with closed source code, politically affiliated voting machine companies that do not produce any verifiable paper record (Some do, a lot dont)

The Hacking Democracy movie is actually based on true events of where the company developing the digital voting booths was hacked by a programmer to change the outcome of the votes so that one candidate won.
It's a pretty good movie, I would recommend everyone watch it.

It's actually not too bad of an idea. It's a good way to train people to know what they are looking for. Providing it is on a box with no external network access.

Ok but how do you put it onto that walled off box?
You'd be risking a machine or network somewhere and only propagating the spread of the virus by doing so.

It would be much wiser to just provide the Whitepapers that already exist from well reputed security companies and provide that.
Rather than build a network, to just have it get destroyed by Ransomware.

There are some handy tools to do that actually. You could virtualize the Windows machine on a Linux laptop that isn't connected to the network. Even on Windows there are options.

Or... it's a bad idea because it trains management that if they don't understand something that they should not listen to IT.
