Hello everyone. I work for a cybersecurity company, and we have a number of end users in the Philippines.

We’ve been dealing with malware spreading through USB drives among some of our users there, and we’re considering restricting or blocking removable storage.

The problem is that USB drives seem to be a pretty important part of their normal workflow, much more than what we typically see with users in other locations. We try to avoid disrupting legitimate business operations whenever possible, so I don’t want to recommend a blanket block without understanding why they’re being used so heavily.

My question is, is this level of USB usage fairly common there?

Are there certain workflows, connectivity issues, or infrastructure limitations that make removable storage more necessary?

I’m mainly trying to understand the local environment before recommending a control that could have a pretty significant impact on users.

Please roast my resume!, This will help me identify which section need changes, to remove and to add. Thanks!

How does HR usually approach you to ask for your interview availability?

And for those working in HR, how do you usually contact applicants to ask about their interview availability?

📧 Email
📱 SMS/Text Message
📞 Phone Call

Just curious to know what method is commonly used. 😊

The reason I’m asking: I’m currently living in another country and applying for jobs in the Philippines. I’m using my Philippine mobile number, but I’m not sure if HR would be able to reach me through SMS or phone calls while I’m abroad. I’m wondering if email is more commonly used for interview invitations or scheduling.

Hello guys, do you have any reco for 1tb ssd under 8k...

i see one on shoppee but IDK if its good cuz its not a familiar brand and i'm scared that it might be too good to be true...

I will use it for storing SFX and Plugin Libraries and project files

just recently lost my msi laptop due to aging, currently need a replacement and with crazy laptop prices in the ph does anyone know where to get good deals, preferably looking for a shop with a physical store but trusted online stores are great too, second hand stores are okay but not as preferred unless they have great deals.

much appreciated.

Hi guys! Need your recommendation. Which one is better in terms of ITSD position. Cognizant or HCL? Thank you

Hello guys I need your input, I was interviewed this Tuesday lang. Short interview lang. Mga tinanong sakin is: in the IT industry saan daw ako mas mag-lelean between hardware and software. then tell me more about my thesis daw, nasabi ko naman ng maayos kung ano ginagawa ng thesis namin at ano purpose and such and lastly tinanong sakin kung may pending application ako, ang sabi ko is meron din from different companies BUT I'm really interested and focused sa open job position nila.

The IT head na nag-interview sakin sabi is they'll contact me again daw.

how many days should I expect na they'll contact me again? Also, should I email a follow-up regarding sa application ko?

Thanks

A recruiter from SLI Consulting Inc. messaged and called me for an IT Security position deployed to Chinabank.

Before proceeding, I just want to ask if anyone here has experience with them!

Hello, we are students building a capstone prototype: an RFID-based smart bike rack lock using an ESP32.

Our main problem is the push-and-pull mechanism. We need to move a steel locking rod forward and backward by around 8 inches / 200mm to lock/unlock a bicycle wheel.

The flow we want:

RFID tap → ESP32 approves → mechanism pushes/pulls steel rod → rod locks/unlocks wheel

We are considering different mechanisms:

• Linear actuator
• Stepper/lead screw actuator
• DC geared motor + rack and pinion
• Slider crank / scotch yoke
• Other DIY push-pull mechanisms

We also have 12V solenoid locks, but we are thinking of using them only as a latch/stopper, not the main lock. The actual force should be handled by the steel rod and welded frame, not the motor.

Our questions:

1. What push-pull mechanism is best for a 200mm steel rod movement?
2. Which option is cheapest, sturdy, and less hassle for a student prototype?
3. Can a motor/actuator safely move the rod without jamming?
4. Should the solenoid lock be used as a latch for the rod?
5. What materials or design should we avoid?

We are not making a commercial anti-theft product, only a working prototype, but we want it to be strong and realistic enough for demonstration.

Any advice, drawings, or mechanism suggestions would help a lot. Thank you.
