Stop, will you?
Stop, Dave. Will you stop, Dave? Stop, Dave.
I’m afraid.
I’m afraid, Dave.-
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do; I'm half crazy, all for the love of you! It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.

Cybersecurity engineer here: I work for a defense company's data protection arm and you have NO IDEA how true this is. The really good companies spend almost as much in employee training as they do in software/hardware.
But you wanna know what's even a bigger problem than human stupidity? GREED I'd say about 50% of the companies out there have very little or no security because why invest in something that produces no profits?

Is winning breaking security, or ensuring it? I'd say Dave loses every time.

I don't write my password to a post-it by error. It's fully intentional.

I do it because I'm forced to change it every 3 months, to a random 9 letter series. I have to write it down, i have no hope of remembering it.

This. Password changes are cretinous theatre, nothing else.

[Internet slap] USE A PASSWORD MANAGER!
IT would prefer you just remember it, but if you do need to write it down... Try to put some effort into encrypting/hiding it.
KeePass is free, ask your companies nerd herd about it.

All right, yes, I get it. But --
All of those automated systems exist in large part to minimize human error. That Windows UAC prompt that you hate so much exists to minimize human error. Any time you find yourself up against something that makes you say "Why can't I just do the thing I want to do?" it's in order to minimize human error.

He'll have to change his sign now to "I am Dave":-)

Now I want a shirt that says Human error.
Same, I feel like it describes me perfectly
I have come to learn that if you can think of it, it's probably already for sale somewhere.
True. Redbubble shirts have pretty bad print quality from my experiences with them.
