  • IT guy here, if we gave developers the option to exclude whatever the hell they wanted from AV scanning it would just mean that we would end up with computers where the entire C: drive would be excluded.

    No, can’t have that.

    So what should a decent IT department do to give developers the access they need to do their job while maintaining a decent level of security?

    Well, the least bad solution I have worked with was to have a non generic path that was excluded by policy.

    Something like C:\Excluded

    The directory was excluded from AV scan and allowed in policy, the user could put what they needed there and it would be fine.













  • The 100% fake enthusiasm, especially if it comes after buying a mediocre product.

    The annoying corporate speak.

    The bad voice over where lipsyncing is completely gone, this is mostly a thing of the past here in Sweden, but from time to time you get ads from companies launching a product across europe and only record one video to the ad and then translate and do a new voiceover for specific languages as needed, but fail to sync the audio with the video.

    Annoying music, for months now a company has been pushing their financial services withe the same terrible ad that is a slideshow and an increadibly annoying music, there is no person talking, they just have a fast tempo music track. I have vowed to never buy anything from them because their ad sucks and is annoying.

    Reusing ads, sometimes a company buys almost all ad slots on YT over months and reuse their one ad video so it is completely grating.

    Self-righteousness, some ads go from being overly enthusiastic to being intolerably self-righteous. There was a new clinic chain of companies that started a big push a few years ago on yt and for several months you had to listen to an overly kind and happy grandmother wearing a company branded sweater, faking a hearty laugh and telling people to go to their clinic.
