An almost hilarious list of promises that Microsoft rattles off in this blog post. I'd be very surprised if we see actual results anytime soon, if CISA doesn't keep the pressure up.

The article lacks details to discuss this particular incident. This could reasonably be a company with poor governance, insecure configuration and authentication - and then this is a non-story. OTOH, …

I wondered the same thing, and I assume the key detail is "can be done from home", because implementation, monitoring and enforcement of something like this could be pretty harmful for busin…

How exactly does inflation pay for infrastructure?

Can you elaborate on the difference between DM'ing someone with "Hey can I call you about problem X/Y/Z?" I'm not sure I understand the benefit of the walkie talkie solut…

From what I've heard, the key differentiator is the plan/concept, whatever you wanna call it, that went into the hybrid setup. If it's just an office where everyone can come in whenver,…

Frankly, a 2021 opinion piece doesn’t tell you anything about the state of remote work. So much has changed in the last three years. CEOs and companies have adapted, and in my anecdotal experience, lo…

It's not that surprising to see China's PLA create their own Pegasus-style program. The focus on iOS is also not too surprising, given that most high value targets are potential Apple custom…

Great feature request!

Interesting, I did not know this. The actual anonymity of crypto currencies aside, it's good to see these kind of businesses do still exist.

Is it fair to assume, that one can engage in a business relationship with these services outside the US? I'm not sure I see the effect that you are implying. AWS, GCP, Azure don't accept cry…

I'm not in favor of this rule, but it seems to me you are conflating several issues into one without showing the effect of the rule. Can you explain how the rule that would be implemented causes …

Unwatchable on 1x speed. Not interesting on 2x.
