I Don't Know What Pressing Delete Will Do, But It Seems Safe Enough!
The Register, Monday, September 16th, 2024
You've got mail . actually no, you've got nothing
Who, Me? Welcome once again to yet another Monday and another instalment of Who, Me? in which Register readers own up to the . let's say "learning experiences" . they've enjoyed up in their careers.
This week's eager learner is someone we'll Regomize as "Pat" who is a senior programmer and help desk supervisor for an agricultural concern. In that role he and a bunch of other bods enjoy admin privileges for their various domains, but - presumably for good reasons - each of the admins also has a regular user account without admin privileges. They do most of their business in their regular user accounts wherein no harm can be done, only employing the admin accounts when needed to do admin stuff.
It seems a sensible arrangement, really. Spend all your time in an admin account and things can get broken, right?
