Borg said:Corporate sysadmins are pretty heavy-handed on the system settings these days. Even though I have (mostly) full admin rights, the corporate scripts check various items and overwrite things that I've changed whenever I get on their network. I then have to spend time undoing their handywork. I used to run a registry script to change their 20 minute screen timeout to 90 minutes but they eventually found a setting that I couldn't find in the registry. That's when I came up with the mouse mover.
Another fun game that they've introduced is wiping out my new tab page in my Chrome browser. My new tab page looks something like this:

Then, about a month ago, they introduced a bunch of registry settings that removed all of my shortcuts and blanked out the entire page. So now when that happens, I have to go into the registry and delete all of their scripted keys in order to get the page back. For some reason, they don't do this to their Edge browser. Probably because it automatically wipes out all of my settings whenever it's updated. It's a constant war with these people.
On the bright side, most of what I've learned about the Windows Registry has been from battling the corporate sysadmins.
Ear defenders? He can read music and follow the conductor so would just need something to take the edge off.Hornbein said:
This is no joking matter; it's not just deafness. Viola players are particularly in the firing line, often being placed close in front of the brass section, and protecting their hearing is something which orchestras are now much more careful about since that case.pinball1970 said:

OK, so you are aware of the problems, but tinnitus or even temporary deafness, even if it can be quite frustrating, hardly compares with diplacusis and hyperacusis. Mine was fortunately temporary, but there was no way I could be involved in any form of music for the first few days.pinball1970 said:
I trained guitar quite aggressively in my "early adulthood" but was thankfully spared tendinitis. Perhaps not the worst of ailments (spoken by someone who've never suffered it), some of my friends had to stop entirely because of it.Jonathan Scott said:
Mine was not temporary. I have lost some top end in the left. Tinnitus was very severe but by day 4 was Ok but still significant. Quiet time it is loud and not just one note, there is timbre there like wind.Jonathan Scott said:
That could have injured someone.BillTre said:

And, the fun continues. Today I learned that one of their corporate scripts deleted the executable for Notepad++ that I've been using for years. Not only that but once I restored it, all of my open file tabs were gone. So now, I need to regularly back up that software and my sessions. They must really love paying me to work less.Borg said:Another fun game that they've introduced is wiping out my new tab page in my Chrome browser. My new tab page looks something like this:

Consider installing a virtual machine, especially if it is your hardware!Borg said:
I do have one that isn't on their approved software list. I installed it for a project that I worked on where I was the only person who could figure out how to get around the corporate blocks to meet the customer's security requirements.Tom.G said:
