  • Local Administrators have rights to access local data.

    None of this should be an issue if your company has standard security practices.

    It really flagged my attention when they stated they can reconstruct the data from the master boot record. I don’t even think Windows 11 can install on an MBR setup. 10 is usually setup using GPT as well showing the information is outdated, but really it just means encrypt drives with sensitive data. No one should have local admin rights to install drivers (anything really) outside of the IT department, which even the IT department roles should be segregated. Most government contractors won’t allow rights to not be segregated out because they’ll fail security audits really. Also most corporate data should be stored on network drives, which even if a user has local admin rights, won’t grant them permissions to scrape data off those.

    So even if you give that worker local admin rights to avoid the hassle of them reaching out all the time, they can only scrape data from other users on their machine.

    Edit: that said, if you leave machines accessible to people, and don’t lock down their boot options, they can be a local admin, but once again, that should be locked down by IT


  • Yeah my brain just sees 5*6, and then I move the decimal. I never understood how people couldn’t figure out tips when they wanted 20%.

    If you live in the U.S. you do them quite often, multiply by 2. Want 10 multiply by .1… Half that and add it if you want 15. Whatever is easiest at that moment


  • Yeah I grew up in Central Florida years ago, but didn’t know much of what a lynx looked like so I just assumed similar to a bobcat, haha. There used to be a camping spot called camp cozy 2 or 3 miles down the trail that was a half mile from any other campsite. Would go out there whenever I could get a work group together, but seeing wildlife was common. You’d get black bears standing on their hind legs hiding behind trees to peak at your campsite and figure out what’s going on. Also when it’s hot and muggy, the springs feel cold as all hell so it’s a great relief.
