  • How to set up laptop for corporate usage, so contents can be erased.

    Jump

  • This is the only reliable solution. To expand:

    1. Provide a Laptop with Windows on it, because that is easier to lockdown.
    2. apply desirable OS lock downs like blocking usb ports prevent storage devices, don't give the user admin rights, etc.
    3. Setup a VPN server (openvpn should do) and configure the laptop with a VPN client. Configure the client so it blocks network connections that don't go via the VPN. If you want to give them internet access you'll need a proxy and firewall and DLP solution. At this point it all gets very complex and expensive.

    The real answer is you are probably screwed without investing a bunch of time, effort, and cost.

    You might get away with more basic security measures if the user has very limited IT knowledge.

    I suggest getting legal advice before you give the user access to your data in the manner you intend.

    Sry. Long day. Still in pedantic mode.

  • To be consistent on a physical level.

    I play guitar and games like rocket league, things that require excellent physical dexterity, and consistency is a big factor. I struggle to repeat physical actions the same way every time. I practice lots, and I'm reasonably good at both things (imho), but I know I screw up more than most people because I can't repeat things the same way every time.

  • I'm looking for evidence that this post is real. It is too perfect, like the stuff chatgpt produces. But I'm old and very cynical.

    One alternative is her low IQ diagnosis was off. I suggest seeing someone to have that rechecked. If it turned out to be closer to the average 100 it could make her feel more positive about her own potential.

  • What are the taboo subjects?

    Jump

  • Like I said undertaking is bad. No excuse for doing it, except where it is legal. If someone goes under speed limit in lane 3 you can undertake I believe, though I would still be super cautious.

    Obviously speeding is illegal, and I'm not suggesting anyone should support do so. But we should let the police deal with it.

    Just to clarify, you don't think it is ok to sit in lane 2 or 3 at the speed limit if there is room to move over ? Not doing so is also illegal in the UK.

    While the majority of people stay within the law (+/- 10%) there are enough people behaving badly on the roads that you should always take that into consideration.

    This is a great example of the is/ought problem. You can try your best to make the "ought" true, but don't neglect what reality "is". On the road that means; assume there is an idiot nearby, and drive in a way that keeps you safe from their shit.

  • What are the taboo subjects?

    Jump

  • In the UK it goes lanes 1, 2, 3. You stay in lane 1. Lane 2 and 3 are for passing only.

    You will often see members of the lane 2 owners club just cruising along in lane 2 but this effectively closes lane 1 (undertaking is illegal and very unsafe).

    Sitting in lane 3 closes the entire motorway.

    I agree there is a speed limit. But the law says you cannot just sit in lane 2 or 3 if you are not overtaking someone. They even updated the law recently. If you hog lane 2 or 3 the police can report you and the penalty is 3 points and £100 fine

    People who sit in lane 3 at 69mph are breaking the law and likely to cause an accident by forcing people to pass on the wrong side out of frustration (yes illegal but they will do it) and this is why they are over taking lanes, not just cruising lanes.

    Never be the reason someone else does something stupid on the road. Always do the safest thing.

  • How do I quit smoking?

    Jump

  • Speaking from my own experience here is my method.

    1. Start by accepting that you will suffer, but think of the suffering like having a bad cold or the flu. You'll hate it but it will pass.

    If you are quite a light smoker (handful per day) I would just quit and ride it out. If things get really bad allow yourself 1 but no more. You'll be surprised how quickly the worst cravings go away after a week.

    If you're a heavy smoker take more of a run up to it, as follows.

    Put off the first smoke of the day for as long as you can. E.g. if you usually smoke as soon as you get up then hold off until after breakfast. Next Day try for just before lunch, and so on over a week or so. Try to also put a gap between eating and smoking. Once you are down to a few a day then do the cold turkey thing.

    The trick is actually not buying more cigarettes. If you have them till probably smoke them. But if not, that barrier helps.

    I smoked from about 19yo until I was in my early thirties (about 1 pack per day). I also spent the nights smoking a lot of spliffs as well (that's weed with rolling tobacco). Now I only smoke Weed when I go down to see my friends which is like twice a year. I bring back enough tobacco to make 3 or 4 small roll ups which gets me through the come down over the following week. Then it is done.

    Quitting the first time is fuck hard but the cravings pass. Now I find it quite easy because I'm used to doing it.

    Good luck. You can do it.
