computer problems
May. 26th, 2020 09:59 pmI guess our company suffered some sort of cyber attack a couple of weeks ago. So they decided to start requiring multifactor authentication, or MFA, which is an acronym for what I call it. MFA is a pain in the MF Ass, but that's not the big problem. The big problem is that whatever they intended to do, it dropped the network for the entire company. It took a week to get back on track, and I'm still struggling.
Today, while working over a remote connection, I lost Windows Explorer. This meant everything vanished from my desktop but the wallpaper - that is, my task bar and start button. Without that, I couldn't access anything, much less my task manager to start Explorer back up. I had to drive to the office and start it on my desktop machine.
My mom bought a new Dell laptop computer a few months ago. It keeps locking up on her. Every week or so. It's just dumb luck if we ever get it restarted. I need to get her set up with backing it up, so if we have to wipe it, she won't lose anything. Not that she has much to lose, but still.
