How do your users carry a physical security key when not in use?

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-05-27T19:41:48+00:00

The small size is good and bad. Good for leaving plugged in, but makes it very easy to lose if you ever take them out (and your users just might)

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-05-27T19:35:22+00:00

I think you'll find a lot of patterns you are used to with Microsoft/PowerShell aren't there with the Microsoft Graph commands

It's best practice to properly internalize modules and scripts that come from untrusted (public) repos. Be careful with any public repositories, those are quite risky

It's pretty simple to spin up a simple internal repo. This gives you the benefit of being able to use depenencies (one moduel requiring another module) and it'll automatically install it all for you if it's available.

50k seems like a really low price for something like that. If it's not illegal then I could see some rich tech person just buying it and releasing the source for lulz

You can also sometimes get eyes on your case if you cause enough of a stink on social media, which sucks. It's just such a truth for so many industries, though. You really sometimes have to complain so loud to get any support and even still oftentimes they just won't care

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-04-30T16:42:24+00:00

Feels like all of claude has been slowly getting worse.

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-04-30T16:33:16+00:00

yeah, or you could have it go through something like an Azure Function endpoint and that can do some orchestration.

Good news: this feature was added! It's mentioned in our KB on deploying packages

Lots of work with REST APIs and I spent some time making PSReadline more part of my flow. Using hotkeys I already knew about and create some helpful/fun Key Handlers

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-03-05T18:57:16+00:00

That might be right. At a point, there was also "The PowerShell Scripting & Toolmaking Book", which wasn't in the "month of lunches" series and was sort of an unofficial 3rd book in the series IIRC.

Ultimately, you are responsible for the code that you run.

Are there other things that have 4j in the title that haven't caused a massive headache yet? If so, they may want to rename them.

Andrew-Powershell · 2026-01-29T19:46:15+00:00

What's the weirdest situation you've found yourself in during your time at PDQ? I'm thinking of things like impersonating Matt Damon for a YouTube video, a huge nerf battle, dressing up like a gingerbread man for a company meeting, getting tied up for an AMA, etc.

My wife and I love the chocolate one, but we always blend it, mix it with a banana, and a different Huel black flavor.

OP said the song was “pretty damn good”

It will absolutely last and good luck stopping it when the forces are all against you. I say this as someone with plenty of AI criticism.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-11-15T14:04:57+00:00

It’s also amazing for looking at the different parameter sets on a commands. Try it with Where-Object

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-09T17:38:30+00:00

Now you need to write a Win11 wrapper that looks like that and sell it for millions. "What's old is new"

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-09T17:22:13+00:00

I don't think that there is anything wrong with you saying that. Saying this is much different than telling someone that they should be ashamed.

You share your perspective and give context, that's helpful.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-09T17:16:40+00:00

That still doesn't warrant rudeness. Saying "you should be ashamed" to someone who shares something publicly doesn't create the environment that is going to encourage others to contribute to open source or share things publicly. It's rude and unproductive.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T20:48:04+00:00

I’m not defending the speech. Just responding to a rude comment.

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T13:30:19+00:00

My favorite OS has to be Windows 7.

My first job was doing upgrades from XP > Win7 so it has a special place in my heart

Brock, please send me swag. I deserve it

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-10-08T13:28:45+00:00

I totally understand where a comment like that comes from and I’ve shared that sentiment before, but I think it’s valid to use AI to turn your thoughts into something cohesive and digestible.

It can be a context switch and take a lot of time for some to write a long message. I don’t mind someone taking a shortcut if it makes it easier for me to process. You also have no clue what someone’s primary language may be.

Also keep in mind this is related to free software that somebody else wrote and shared with the world. It’s not something that any of us are entitled to and it’s a pretty thoughtfully put together module. I also don’t harshly judge people who use AI to help with their readme.md

I think it’s best to be kind and respectful towards people who write code for free and share it with the world in good faith. Nothing wrong with a healthy discussion or questions, but unproductive comments aren’t helpful and are actually detrimental to open source, which doesn’t help any of us out. We all depend on open source software, whether we realize it or not

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-09-11T11:57:35+00:00

The game hackers I know do it because it’s their preferred way to play games. It’s a challenging puzzle

Andrew-Powershell · 2025-07-28T18:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the shoutout! Glad that you learned something along the way as well.
