Trusting the cat to keep the cream or the Netanyahu to keep the data?
Haaretz received an anonymous tip about the security lapse, allowing anyone to obtain the leaked information in its entirety without using sophisticated tools. Right-clicking on the Elector app's home page and choosing "view source" revealed the original code of the internet page. The code revealed all the usernames and passwords of system admins, allowing one to log in and download the registry.

@Vixen so assuming all of those issues are garbage, you see no problem with Microsoft failing to delete them?
However, I find that highly unlikely, considering that the MO seems to be to automatically close tickets older than 3 months.

I prefer to leave an issue for three months to see if the user is going to give up and go away before I have to do anything about it. The power of

if the issue is legitimate more than one person will report it or upvote it or produce a test case.... otherwise.... yeah these open to the public bug trackers need a mechanism to remove the dross and that mechanism serves.
is it perfect? no, does it work? -makes a "maybe" sort of grunt with accompanying hand gesture-

Samsung has announced the Galaxy S20 (which was already leaked), but they're not taking preorders yet. Instead you can register to preorder? Pre-preorder? This gives you an advantage over people planning to preorder later, but it's also rumored that particular VIPs were able to pre-pre-preorder.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
no offense.... don't actually care who or why.
:-P
i make my own amusement. and the fact that i got a +5 upvote with only 4 total points amused me so i ran with it.
that's all.
also because i know you care.....
-
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
also because i know you care.....
So, you are basically punishing me for being open and honest with you just so you can get instant revenge?
How very thoughtful and mature (and also expected) coming from someone claiming they are good at managing people.
oooookay. that's enough of that then....
i was attempting to deal with you using the same level of openness you showed, and with the same level of brutal honesty.
but if you are going to attack me for it.... well I'm just not going to respond to you anymore....
bye! Have fun doing..... whatever it is you do i guess.
-
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
Except in my "brutal honesty" I offered you constructive criticism on your post,
You gave what i'm assuming is the "constructive criticism" half an hour after I commented amusedly on the downvote, a comment that didn't ask who it was that downvoted.
this criticism was a list of basic statistics on the issues on github and a story about a issue you filed that is still open. I honestly fail to see how that is constructive, except compared to the post of yours i was actually replying to...
Speaking of.... another two hours later you dropped the "news" that you were the one who downvoted me, at least a full two and a half hours after you downvoted the post. Your post explaining this said this was basically "You raised a point that needed explanation and also I downvoted you because you're unfunny".
well 1) i did not actually care who downvoted me. could have been the great goddess Amaterasu herself what did it for all I cared. and 2) you said in your post that the downvote was for the humor and 3) constructive criticism is not "be funnier"
Thus you got "I don't care. downvote me for the humor. it is actually literally impossible for me to care less about your opinion of my humor.." and because you have shown that you care who downvoted you i posted proof that i didn't because your post was already at negative votes.
and you got offended at my "dismissiveness" of your opinion on my humor..... soo...... yeah. My brutal honesty is "I don't care you don't like my humor." which is dismissive because the fact you don't like my humor has zero relevance to me.
but, you know what.... maybe it's better this way. if you want to think of me as a "Holier than Thou" asshole of a manager.... fine. I can live with that, but in return you'll have to live with the fact that i think the same about you. Except for the part about being a manager, because that's not factually true now, I reserve the right to add that bit back in if you ever start managing a team.

@levicki said in WTF Bites:
it was not "you should be funnier" but "you could have asked the same thing in one sentence and get the same answer sans downvote".
ah, but you see, the point of my post was 90% to be funny (to my sense of humor), 5% because i could and only 3% to ask a question (with a 2% margin of error) so.... i think the proportions of my original posting are correct.
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
When we are at it, you could have spent some effort yourself on .Net issue tracker
could have. didn't because wasn't actually relevant to the joke i was "attempting" to make (which i found to be hilarious by the by) also
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
really rubbed me in a wrong way.
[insert extremely not safe for work/life joke here.]
@levicki said in WTF Bites:
As usual, @topspin asked a good question and offered another point of view, but you shrugged that off as well.
you know..... they did. they asked "if all those issues are garbage should they be deleted"
I answered that because anyone with a github account could create an issue they needed some mechanism to filter the issues so that the issue tracker contained only relevant tickets. I explained that i thought their current system while flawed served that purpose..... so if that's shrugging off the question....... welll.....

Per official WTFCorp policy, the webmail logs me out automatically after every hour of inactivity. Except, it kind of doesn't? My inbox stays open, and I can even see new messages arrive, but as soon as I try to open one, then it logs me out for having been inactive too long. But I'm obviously still logged in until that point or I wouldn't have seen the message to click on it.

@error Our extremely backward web printing system does something similar. If you're quick enough, you can even go through the motions of submitting a job. But, just as soon as you've selected the file to upload, confirmed that you indeed want to get a dead-tree copy, *bam* login page.
Unfortunately, given the amount of suck that printing suffers from around here, this doesn't even make my list of complaints.

I'm willing to automate the login process with my Chrome extension but it asks for a 2FA token.
I want to write an Android app that sends the token to the extension but I don't know how to scrape the code from the app.

You can try if faking activity with “Staying Alive for Google Chrome™” plugin (or corresponding plugin for whatever browser you use) helps…

The real policy is login expires after 1 hour of inactivity or 2 hours of activity. It's dumb.

Somewhat sane…
or 2 hours of activity.
Ok, that's clinically insane. Especially since
webmail
That would deserve just responding with “I just read and respond to emails once a day, because it logs me out and I don't get notifications”…
But I'm obviously still logged in until that point or I wouldn't have seen the message to click on it.
… and this is clearly their defence against that. Because you do see the notifications. Because otherwise it would be like you don't have the mail at all, right?
Yeah,
.I want to write an Android app that sends the token to the extension but I don't know how to scrape the code from the app.
The app will try hard to make that impossible, because otherwise the token wouldn't prove anything. Probably—but if it's the Microsoft or the Google one, it might even get the security reasonably right.

Well, it proves that I have or someone has compromised my phone. In that case, they can read my email anyway.
I think I can probably OCR it.

WTF of the day.
User reports that their ad listing is not appearing on the website correctly.
We (IT Support, with a side order of Appdev because the ad system is old and arcane enough that front line support doesn't understand all of it) ask what's wrong with the ad.
They report it's missing.
we look, all ads in the system are listed correctly (we have a script for this because that was a problem once.... three/four years ago and users still don't trust the system....)
we inform the user that all ads in the system are listed.
User informs us theirs is still missing and it should be online.
We ask the user if they had entered their ad into the system.
User had not.
We tell user that in order to run an ad it needs to be in the system. please enter the ad in the system.
User complains that they never had to in the past.
Customer service (separate department from IT) chimes in with "that's because we always ended up having to do it when the customers who placed the ads complained to us. so enter the ad in the system."
I sigh and go get donuts for customer service, because they're nice people who deal with way too much of that carp from our salespeople.
