Why are some USB sticks notoriously bad at being detected by some laptops? Some laptops detect them fine, but another laptop will not recognize the same stick at all. Is this a quality issue? Or am I doing something wrong?

Likely a quality issue- those sticks are using some POS firmware written 10 years ago.


Others can be sometimes accessed by manually looking under my computer—> find random new hard drive —> randome exe but thats as sketchy as it sounds.

Finally if its a work computer, flashdrives are sometimes disabled

You didn’t find this flash drive out in the parking lot did you? Or right outside your car and you thought “hmmm, did I drop this? Maybe someone else did? Let me plug it in my work computer and find out.” 😄

funny

Seriously you use those? Maybe because I’m fed but I thought the world was done with removable media for the security risk. Big no no.

Has anyone tried getting out of their lease and been successful? I’ve been isolating out of the city for 3mo and will be here at least another 3mo, if not more.

Any successful angles/negotiation tactics/DC laws that worked in your favor (relative to the public health crisis/pandemic) would be greatly appreciated. For context, lease technically ends Dec 9, but am looking to get out before then

My manager has lost confidence in me. On occasions when there’s been a problem he overreacts and blames me instead of guiding me. He has sent messages where he overreacts and says mean things, but then on calls he is nice and says it’s not my fault… I have lost self-confidence and get anxious on sundays thinking about the week ahead… Should I just quit or do you think it’s something that can be resolved? he might be thinking about terminating me since he’s been taking away my direct reports
