Everything you described is possible using sudo, when configured as desired.

Everything you've described is NOT default configuration in Citrix or Windows. I.e. removing local administrative accounts, domain admin accounts with limited permissions and rotating automatically resetting passwords, etc.

I've worked for several enterprises that require UAC password for elevation every time it's needed as the person with elevated permissions (someone who's smarter than the average user) isn't expected to write down their passwords in accessible spaces.

Most enterprises are using third party products to manage the same structure you've described.

You're describing how a lot of enterprises are managing authentication when handled by a person. Not out of the box configuration.

Again, it's a situation that is customized to the usage scenario. What people have suggested you do with your Linux systems.

As noted previously you can configure sudo as desired by the enterprise.

Ok. Thanks for expressing an opinion.

Here another opinion based on a lot of experiences and other experts.

You're wrong.

Yours is not an opinion that is shared by the community at large.

It's not a practice used at large enterprises that implement increased security* and remove local administrative access on user systems.

It's not a practice used in secure computing environments.

It's not supported by a basic search with the terms "entering sudo password less secure".

As a point you've made that is supported by research, passwords aren't the best solution.

No solution is perfect, passkeys are an option that are being implemented in a lot of places. You can implement that currently if you have the impetus.

Security is a balancing act. You're welcome to disable the password prompt for sudo usage on your systems.

What experience and expertise is grounding your opinion on this matter?

As it's been pointed out in this thread, you can reduce the security of your system by modifying the configuration file and adding the string that makes it perform similarly.

The windows implementation also is able to be used in the exact same configuration as sudo's more secure default configuration, on most distributions.

Windows doesn't pick the most secure configuration for a lot of things out of the box.

They're working on improving the security and balancing against making it useful for those who refuse to learn new practices.

I didn't see it mentioned, but several Linux distributions are configured exactly as you prefer. They aren't typically meant as enterprise implementations when configured like that.

You seem to be ranting that it's not set to your preferred less secure preferences or that you won't add a string to a configuration file to reduce the security.

It's your system set it how you like or adapt.

You might be interested to know, there are tools for managing fleets of hardware and virtual machines.

You seem to think it's a bad thing. The rest of the industry understands and benefits from it.

Sudo is a useful solution that Microsoft is working to build into Windows.

Not trying to be rude, the media cycle buried that result.

The unions got the sick leave, after the media reported the strike ended without it.

It was accomplished a couple weeks later, if I recall correctly.

If you're in an area that doesn't freeze you can keep the house cold and heat one room with an electric oil filled radiator very inexpensively.

If you're in a place that freezes you need to keep the house warm enough to avoid freezing the water pipes.

Otherwise have fun, heat one room and bundle up everywhere else.

Watch it. It's really there. Starts shortly after ~~44:34~~ (39:00) on the timestamp. That should be enough context.

I searched for "One Rough Hour" in the transcript to find the section.

*edit 2: I hate this speech. I hate C-Span's Text Links to Video Anchors. They're horrible. Another point at 39:00 exactly he says "See we have to let the police do their job, and if they have to be extraordinarily rough... " *edit 3: At 41:00: "One Rough Hour.."

Pro tip: block 2 trolls that can't see past their nose to have rational discussion in the thread.

The cases are in an appeal position. Allegedly the bond is on holding by a bonding insurance company pending the results of the appeal.

Your link disagrees with you. Hoping nobody pays attention? Hoping for up votes?

False fact post, bad faith actor, or llm. All 3?

From your link: "You can still get burned with long enough exposure."

A lot of old consoles are actually based on standard CPUs for the most part. Look at the history of the 6502 for example. Emulating the hardware can be done if time is taken to reverse engineer all the layers into an emulator.

Part of the issue, to me, can be if all the work is done and then copyright disputes arise- all work has to be removed from the public.

People in my area/life (most) aren't given sick days and are expected to use their short (if even able) PTO allotments. If they take a vacation and get sick later - their options are work or miss bills. To me, I understand why folks tough it out. I'd like society to care about health for the whole, most can't afford to do that.
