what sort of security-sieve do they have protecting their passwords?
Plain text email? Using online password generator through HTTP? Or just the administrator selling all generated passwords for a few bitcoin cents or whatever they are called?
Who knows.

It's ok. Cloud9 sends you your password in an email.
In plaintext.
Needless to say, I don't keep anything secret on there, only open source stuff.

I had it happen a while back. On a state government site. (not terribly surprising) That deals with tax information. (Yeah, that is pretty freaking bad)

Status: had an hour long conversation about a guesstimate that I did and labeled as such due to customer questioning it (based it on another project that sounded similar, but another that was closer was estimated at 1/4). During meeting 1/2 the original guesstimate (or double similar thingy) immediately agreed to.
Poorly phrased annoyed junk above, hopefully clearer explanation:

…I don't follow; does anyone else?

Sorry, had an hour long conversation in regards to a guesstimate that the customer was questioning. I had based an estimate of something (a) on another project (b) that sounded really similar. The customer complained as some thing (c) had an estimate that was about 1/4 the size of (b) and was similar to (a). Then after this hour long multi person conversation an update to the estimation of A was accepted in like 5 minutes that was roughly newA = C/2 = 2B. Meaning that the hour long conversation should probably have been much shorter than an hour and I'm frustrated with those that caused it to take an hour.

Bill 'em for the conversation. Then you get back your money for project a.

Bill 'em for the conversation.
Billing is set up as either estimated hours (dev work) or per piece of work done (production). So other than working meetings into estimates us in the dev section can't.

I once had an IT drone in 3rd-world country post my new LDAP password (because users can't change their own) in the service desk ticket, which is public to everyone in the company. ***BZZZT*** Try again. Sent by email — 9 letters; all lower-case. At least it wasn't an actual word — in any language that I know, anyway, although it wouldn't surprise me if it was in some language.
At a previous employer, you'd get a phone call. "This is Joe in IT. I reset your password. I'm going to call you back. Do not answer; let it go to voicemail." You'd then retrieve the voicemail with your new password, which you were told to change immediately. This was rather common, as attempting to change your password had a high probability of locking you out of the system. (You had multiple accounts on different systems, all with the same username and password. You had to make sure you were logged out of everything everywhere, or something would try to access a file server with the old credentials, fail multiple times, and "Hello, IT. I need a password reset.")
Edit: s/would/wouldn't/ — I really should proofread better.

Find the most recent date (eg. you are tracking a bunch of events and need to determine "lastActionAt" type of information):
new Date(Math.max(new Date(2014, 11, 1), new Date(2015, 6, 7), new Date(2013, 1, 1)))
Don't forget
new Date()
part, otherwise you get a unix epoch!

Status: A third-party company that is the vendor for a client's LOB software just sent me an email. They did an update this morning and they sent us a list of machines that they were unable to update.
Those hostnames are all networking gear and other things that do not have their software on them. Seriously, if you see a hostname of "WAP-XX", would you not assume that it is an access point? The email also pointed out that he could not update their software on all of the switches, the credit card machines, the firewall, the PBX system, the printers, the CT machine, the x-ray machine...
You get the idea. Never mind the fact that there is a list of machines that their software is on. Never mind that updating of the software is entirely automatic and occurs on every reboot. Never mind that they are supposed to let us know anytime they access the server.
:annoyed:
-
Oh, also on the list of hostnames that they could not access to update their software:
IP Cameras
The Comdial voicemail system (with the hostname of 'voicemail')
The DMG box
An iMac (with 'imac' in the hostname, and their software is Windows only)
-
Well, at least they apparently didn't break anything in trying?

The day is not over. They have not had a single software update in the 3 years that we have been doing support for the client where the update did not break existing functionality.
They need a @Yamikuronue.
-
I mean, no routers not carrying their software which decided to crash and burn when faced with unknown control protocols?
Bugs in the new version and botched upgrades are a different matter.
-
Well, no, they have never broken a router.
But they have recently (last update cycle) completely broken invoicing. When they fixed that little bug, which never should have made it out of testing, they introduced another bug that priced lots of shit wrong. But, interestingly enough, it showed the proper price in the application but the wrong price when printed.

Status: The PC came with Win 7 installed and an 8.1 DVD that says "DO NOT INSTALL THIS SOFTWARE. IT IS ALREADY ON YOUR COMPUTER." O RLY?
Also, Dell is now doing a thing where they supply motherboard power with an 8-pin connector instead of the ATX standard 24-pin connector. The alternate 4-pin CPU power jack is still being used, though.

Does it have a standard Micro-ATX motherboard in it? Or is it one of the new budget level machines that has a Mini-ITX board?
I thought the days of Dell having their own strange power inputs were over? They used to have a non-standard pinout on their ATX power supply motherboard connectors, just because they like to be dicks.
-

It's an Optiplex, so I'm going to guess "standard uATX"--at the moment it's in a slightly inconvenient position to open the case.
But Dell's gotta Dell, so it has a 16x and 3 1x PCIe slots, and the middle 1x slot actually has the traces on the motherboard for a 4x socket. Also, it's only got 3PCIe jacks, but 4 pinouts.

I know. I used a u instead of μ out of laziness, and put the air quotes in to indicate that.
This looks like the mobo in question. Lot of oddball stuff; it doesn't use the Intel standard switch/LED header, opting for multiple smaller ones scattered around the place. DisplayPort instead of HDMI, which sucks for me, since none of the monitors at work have DP.
