This Business and Moment...

Great, work have implemented a policy where only managed devices can access resources, including O365. I completely understand why, but I lose Office apps from my personal phone and laptop. /rant

Yeah mine did this a couple years back. I managed quite well with removing the email and just having a link to OWA but now OWA requires 2FA with a random 2 digit number... More and more incentive to not check stuff on my personal phone :D

We can still access emails and calendar via Workspace One Boxer, I guess they are able to manage the application and lock it down more. I know it's a terrible habit but I'd check emails after work to make sure I'm not coming back in to a **** storm and aim off accordingly.

The most frustrating thing is the loss of O365 apps on non-managed devices, as I used Word and Excel a lot on my phone and Mac. Guess I better get used to Apple's Pages and Numbers, or shell out.
 
Still onboarding.. It's like a windows 3.1 loading bar..

The current beauty is that the end client requires MS Authenticator to be installed, which means you need to accept Microsoft's privacy policy that states you're happy for your contacts etc to be downloaded to Microsoft. That may be acceptable for a company risk perspective but for a personal phone it becomes an issue (if you are security minded). I'm unsure that companies understand that their contacts (along with LinkedIn) are downloaded to be freely mined to profile you and sold to partners.
If companies see Linkedin has a business information risk (it is hence all the social media contract clauses) that they then miss the same backdoor contact mining (and more accurate as it involves usage too) for MS authenticator.

Good security - limit the information to what is required, by the right actor, at the right time and on an ongoing basis. MS Authenticator simply downloads the whole lot (if you read the privacy policy).
 
New product arrived that will be launched with our new website next month. Been a long time in the works but it's here. Performance is unreal :D

100W charging in a single Power Delivery slot too. I've had 2 macbooks and ipad and iphone running off the one plug. Passed with flying colours :D

What are the output stats?


Suppose you'll need to send out some testing units. :p

Testing already done :p Thanks for the "offer" though :D The testing plug (in pic above) was brutally tested. Hence it's covered in scratches and fingerprints. Don't think I've dropped a plug down the stairs as this poor chap was lol

Contract signed and notice handed in last week - going to be so strange leaving after 6 and a half years but really looking forward to a new start
 
Well day 3 and i’m now covering indefinitely for my boss who has gone on indefinwte medical leave without handover and picking up senior stakeholder management all a project on fire. Strangely i feel at home although having over a year off has destroyed my senior vocab - other than “mine” :)

A large part of my shift today was investigating a missing/mixed up consignment of sex toys... a few red faces and plenty of crude jokes. Some people in for a surprise when they find what is inside the box instead of what they were expecting :s
 
@subbytna I need your help man. My Mercedes is SO sensitive on what cable it accepts for Android auto that it is hard to tell what rules it plays by. Often its the garbage bundled ones from god knows what that seem to work - but then they only last 5 mins.

Can you shed any light on why? And is there a god like cable I can buy from yourself that would fix this?

My mother in law has a GLA and hers is equally awkward. Often with it looking like the screen is broken, however the above works for her and is awesome to avoid needing to use a cable. Usually have a deal on too, although FX rates might've screwed the price a bit. Think i paid about £75

I'm not a top revenue earner so unfortunately do not have an iPhone - however I had considered something like this a while back for Android.

You reckon they seem to work? I wonder if its the stability issue between the car and the screen or the wire being battered. I might give one a go if I can find it on Amazon (and for Android!).

Thanks
 
Ah good point. I didn’t actually realise it only worked with Apple.

Yeah it works great. Sometimes it’ll reboot at random but it’s not a regular thing and it’s quick to do so. Has been a fantastic addition to both my car and my mother in laws.

I think Mercedes electrics are just a bit screwy. I can’t remember what the reason they gave for her car not working was but their remedy was pretty much “it just happens. Do a hard reset on the phone to fix”

Drop me a message and I'll send you one free to try. if it works, happy days, if it doesn't then no harm done :)
 
Accidentally posted this another thread the other day, but I actually got invited to an interview for an offshore wind turbine technician’s job the other days which sadly I’ve had to turn down, seeing as I’m stuck on a ship until the 19th November at the earliest.

Annoying that the timing hasn’t worked out, but it’s nice to see something other than a rejection email. Ah well.
