Similar, but I think it’s been even longer for me. I should do that 😂

I fear that I may have just been inspired to put a couch in my office.... 😕

I was summoned last year, accidentally missed it because I forgot to call in, and then had to go in January. I was dismissed after lunch because I could no longer handle the sensory stuff.

I’m also pretty sure no jury would ever want me cause we’ll never be unanimous.

Best of luck to you.

Not even arguably. They ARE far more important and tend to have a much greater day-to-day impact in normal times when all “legislation” isn’t done by presidential executive order 😞

I take…a lot… of coaster pics.

Hmm…maybe I should start celebrating my “day I learned that I’m not broken” day, too.

In related news: I did a same-day change for an earlier flight and got C05 as my boarding number.

I paid $134 to “upgrade” to A15. Back in my day…that was like $40.

Me too. Most of the people that I work with somehow think I'm in my 20s despite having worked there for almost 11 years.

I wouldn’t have guessed that you’re 40.

They also shouldn’t be requiring you to make hard to remember “secure” passwords. Passphrase + MFA (and conditional access) or Passwordless (FIDO2/Passkey) should be the goal.

Make your organization more secure against password attacks, and ban common passwords and enable risk-based multifactor authentication.

3 things: 1…you won’t (which I was surprised by when we rolled out WHFB). 2… their goal should be to eliminate the password entirely (but the PIN is an early step toward that)…3… they’re doing it wrong if they’re requiring periodic password changes. That’s outdated security theatre.

Timely question, though, since I’m presenting on a related topic tomorrow!

As @andrewwrites.bsky.social said, the PIN is device-bound and has built-in protections. It’s similar to why a 6-digit PIN on an iPhone is strong enough to protect all of your encrypted data locked behind it.

Your 13 character domain password isn’t restricted to the device and can be phished.

And the 1x version. The 1x camera is still way better than the others, but I’m satisfied with this year’s telephoto over the last few years. Can’t wait to take some #rollercoaster pics with it this weekend.
