I used to work for astrazenica. Their computer systems ran like dogshit cause all of their severs were located at their head quarters in Liverpool. They didnt want it to run off the azur cloud or something which would have worked better for people in other countries cause then all their proprietary data would be on MS servers

Its the hypocrisy of it

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:29 PM

wasn't there a post about vpns kinda just not working in general if your system supports DHCP option 121 ubder some circumstances

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:29 PM

Which Android seems to ignore that option

Most of the health providers host in Azure or Oracle, some on AWS and it's always jank. This will raise some big flags for them as it's out of their control and some data will leak this way inevitably, it's the reason why they pushed for cloud workspace in the first place and this negates it completely.

if i try to user nvidia-settings to render higher res, then output to 1080 viewport, is that the same as DSR?

Where's the hypocrisy

antheas•6/1/24, 1:32 PM

Data governance is what it is

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:32 PM

We trust ms on the desktop but not the server

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

If you actually cared about your data you probably wouldn't be using windows

antheas•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

It has to do with where the servers are located

Aantheas Where's the hypocrisy

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

I guess your right that's its different. Its just seems weird to not use a more secure os at scale

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

not if you don't trust them for other things, at least

MMervius If you actually cared about your data you probably wouldn't be using windows

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

Aaaand that's why we are here in essence

antheas•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

Now cloud providers like azure are doing per country and dedicated deployments

antheas•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

GDPR is no joke as well

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:33 PM

MS uses Linux servers. that should say everything that needs to be said (This is from an old conversation and information, but i think still mostly valid)

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:34 PM

we also mostly use web apps anymore. We could stop using windows and still use office

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:34 PM

You can setup windows servers with azure afaik

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:34 PM

no you can't because broken formatting

antheas•6/1/24, 1:34 PM

Linux desktop implementations lack in security compared to win

antheas•6/1/24, 1:34 PM

You might not believe it

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:35 PM

I guess I have to

antheas•6/1/24, 1:35 PM

Linux can be more secure than win but rn is not

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:35 PM

i mean the os security itself doesn't matter much when you can just social engineer

antheas•6/1/24, 1:35 PM

Nobody sets it up correctly because users don't care

Mervius•6/1/24, 1:35 PM

antheas•6/1/24, 1:36 PM

Standard windows deployments have locked business VPNs, and dual layer data encryption with tpm + passkey

antheas•6/1/24, 1:36 PM

Then the OS itself sandboxes stuff and has things like core isolation and no sudo priciledges

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:36 PM

Someone's going to forget to turn off copilot and it will be a scandal

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:36 PM

I have to point out that Encryption means nothing if someone can remotely access your data

antheas•6/1/24, 1:36 PM

Only your IT can do that

antheas•6/1/24, 1:37 PM

Which is also a business feature

antheas•6/1/24, 1:37 PM

Like it or not lmao

antheas•6/1/24, 1:37 PM

It can also remotely wipe and lock the device

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:37 PM

well, that is all windows should have ever been, a business OS. the fact that they got into gaming really crossed lines that screwed everything up

antheas•6/1/24, 1:38 PM

There's not a solid Linux IT deployment tool but Linux supports all these features too

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:38 PM

I'm having a hard time reconciling recall cause its advertised as a feature to help tech illiterate people use a computer but a lot of companies would turn it off

antheas•6/1/24, 1:38 PM

There's just no way for IT to cleanly deploy them

antheas•6/1/24, 1:38 PM

I think it would be disabled by default on enterprise deployments

Aantheas It can also remotely wipe and lock the device

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:38 PM

that varies majorly if it's enrolled as a company device, but users tend to be stupid and do mix devices. we've had cases where they keep all their private data on their work device and also sign in with their work account to ther home PC and phones where they enroll their PC to our tenant. very smart

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:39 PM

i would really like to reboot, but i am waiting for the world to download :/ (Organic Maps)

Crono•6/1/24, 1:39 PM

Arguably Nix?

antheas•6/1/24, 1:39 PM

And they've started to limit personal devices

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:39 PM

Thank god. I'm not putting my work email on my phone

559smoke Thank god. I'm not putting my work email on my phone

antheas•6/1/24, 1:40 PM

The new Portal Ms garbage partitions your phone and instAlls apps VPNs and shit

antheas•6/1/24, 1:40 PM

And changes the password requirements of the device

Hunanbean•6/1/24, 1:41 PM

decades ago, when i half knew some things and worked in IT, i always insisted they give me a company phone, and computer. One even supplied a second internet connection

59smokeOP•6/1/24, 1:41 PM

I'm waiting SR-IOV so I never use a real computer again

559smoke We have blocks so you can only do that in company phones and devices

potemkinhr•6/1/24, 1:41 PM

we all have or own skeletons in the closet, things were going downhill since they tried to outsorce IT completely but somehow we got through and are now revetring once it hit them in their teeth. it killed morale and most of the guys are looking to bail
