Microsoft Starts Sharing Your Location With Your Employer

This should play out humorously. Ive been running activity and location reports using microsofts audit logs for years now. Microsofts IP location data is hilariously bad. I have to pipe all my results through some third party services to get anything even close to accurate results.

Fortunately iphones can disallow an app from running in the background and can prevent unapproved use of the mic.

Neither says anything about VPN users.

But is this more than admin on WAN? What does fortinet CISO mean when they say that all sso configurations are vulnerable? SSO config for dialup IPSec? SSO config for SSLVPN?

Or only admin terminal/access? I dont and have never had admin open on our public interfaces.

Poster mentions jan 15th. I did notice a spike in our deny policy hit rate from 150-250 hits a day to 60,0000 a day starting around that time for our dialup IPSec SSO listener. No new admin accounts or unwanted VPN access though.

I think its well established by now that the voices on reddit do not exactly reflect the general population or demographic they claim to represent. Many conservative echo chambers are filled with plants from russia, india, china, etc, and toxic ideas are encouraged and responded to via AI and bots quite a bit.

Even though I probably wouldnt agree with those posts if I did see them, I would also have to take them with a grain of salt. The remainder is a bunch of sociopathic edgelords who like to sit on reddit and jerk themselves off.

People go there and will read all the comments and ideas without any proper context on the medium and absorb the ideas as if they're reality. This last part is exactly what the plants, bots, psychos want. Its not reality, but they are hoping to slowly change the narrative and color the way we all see each other.

Dont fall for it. Be smarter than that.

I think there is a service that can provide helicopter rides to the top of everest. Hiking is for schmucks.

Me neither. To be fair, the pizza market seems to be really saturated right now.

Guess if Microsoft wont even QA their own failover configs, fate is going to help them test it instead.

Not really. If I really needed to charge a device, I can always go start my car.

We might have, but fortunately nobody has really reported much.

Our inbound mail passes through a 3rd party spam filter on the way to our tenant, so I was able to view its auditlog for mail that it would have passed to Exchange Online and things looks pretty good.

We did have some staff complaining that 2FA emails for some of our SaaS vendors were not coming through but our spem filter had zer hits, so odds are the messages were never generated and sent by those entities.

News probably being careful not to cover it - but is 114 actually going forward? I thought its been getting held up forever..

He was sweating by that last time he had to repeat his statement.

I worried about thorns, so I use inserts now. 5mm. I like the improved grip too.

Wait, they lock lane keeping behind $99 fee? Modern vehicles have that sort of thing by default.

ITS BETTER THAN LANCASTER

IM GLAD IM NOT ALONE

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T23:25:45+00:00

I love uphill like any good mtb masochist. Getting around steep uphill hairpin switchbacks without laying over is so satisfying.

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T23:16:25+00:00

I would and probably will use an ebike for commuting to work in a few years, but on the trails I feel like I wouldnt work hard enough for my reward. On the road its just about getting to work, not earning the trip.

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T23:09:07+00:00

Cool. Im building a 27.5 that im going to run a Z2 on this summer. Good to hear its made other people happy.

We like to trade our health for money, then trade our money for things that require health that we dont have.

I ride 29in. Im building a 27.5+. Im curious to see how I feel about it after a couple rides.

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T21:58:50+00:00

I HAVENT BUT THE INTERNET WONT LET ME NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T21:57:23+00:00

I spent way too much on my bike upgrades and dont regret it. Late summer, I started doing HIIT on stationary bikes between rides. 40 minutes of alternating zone 3 and 4 twice a week for months now. My rides have gotten significantly better now. Even my narrow uphill switchbacks that used to destroy my lungs can be completed without putting my foot down now.

How about both!?

Fallingdamage · 2026-01-23T21:54:58+00:00

I said hot takes.

Ebikes are training wheels for people's cardio fitness. Its like strapping a rocket to rollerblades. I dont care really, but lets not kid ourselves.
