Linked – Weak passwords banned in California from 2020

From a cybersecurity standpoint, this is a good idea.

It demands that each gadget be given a unique password when it is made.

From a “user has no idea how to get into the device because they never knew the password” standpoint, on the other hand? Yeah that’s going to be a mess.

I predict a lot of devices just sitting around going unused because no one can access them or reset them. Then again, from a security standpoint, maybe that is for the best.

    Linked: How to Survive Constant Change at Work

    The interesting thing to think about is not just in regards to your own managers. This extends out to clients, partners, customers, etc. When they are allowed to constantly shift the goalposts and your response to your employees on the front lines of those relationships is “eh, you know how they are”, consider the fact that you are not keeping them safe. It’s not just an irritation, it’s creating an environment that is not psychologically safe for them. It is doing harm.

    This gets old, and as the quote above says, it contributes to a loss of trust and cynicism. It might also lead to a ton of burnout too.
