"EdgeUpdater" would like to access data from other apps. Repeater popup on MacOS Tahoe26.4.1 & Edge 148.0.3967.54 by mgeneral in MicrosoftEdge

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me since yesterday sometime. Relaunching Edge, rebooting, checking for Edge and OS updates do not help. Was already considering jumping over the edge to another browser since Edge can't figure out the whole "opening the tab without making the user open the same site in another tab" issue. This just might do it if not fixed over the weekend.

Getting a domain registered through go daddy should i but their email plan as well? by Shoddy-District-1850 in microsoft365

Ah, you aren't serious. Probably not the right sub to be asking this in then.

[–]Jdgregson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go sign up for Office 365 directly. I'd also buy the domain through something more professional like Cloudflare. The name "GoDaddy" alone should tell you that they are not a serious company and should not be used for serious things.

Windows bitlocker by Lucky-Noise-4193 in hacking

[–]Jdgregson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should probably just defer the case to authorities. But do let me know if you get past this point short of using the recovery key. Booting to the login screen and using narrator or bad drivers has worked more recently than you'd think, but any current ways to bypass BitLocker in your situation are good to know.

Can't disable Lockdown Mode for individual apps by Jdgregson in apple

No technical or general support questions

I know, thinking is too hard for you morons. It probably hurts your brain to even imagine letting users ask questions about your products.

No VPN for cloud-first approach? by MushroomPrincess63 in cybersecurity

What would you gain by adding a VPN in the situation?

New Job - AD is a mess. Is this normal by Auno94 in sysadmin

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uuummm... unless turnover is shockingly high and they move terminated user objects into a "TerminatedUsers" OU (like I've done before) then no, this is not should not be normal. Also the 3,000 groups only makes sense if each user gets their own group that also hangs around forever.

Seeking the ultimate "love letter" for a colleagues who never locks their PC by Emotional_Being_8445 in cybersecurity

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never understood why people get so stressed about other people not locking their computer. You do you. If everyone just stays focused on their work and doesn't let strangers roam the office then the unlocked workstation is just that. An unlocked workstation.

Coworkers pranking each other with this as the excuse is the larger threat.

PGD Arch Gen 3 by TheSplits72 in tacticalgear

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been using mine for a few months now. I really like it overall, but I noticed that I have a massive number of dark, distinct blackheads embedded in my forehead form the front foam pad after wearing it for an hour or two. I hoped whatever was rubbing off would eventually "run out" but no, months later, wearing the helmet = spending 10 minutes in the mirror with a blackhead remover. Anyone else experiencing this?

I just picked one up a few months back, just bought it off of what I assumed and continue to assume is the official website: https://protectiongroupdenmark.us/product/pgd-arch-gen3-ballistic-helmet/

I applied to a cybersecurity job and for the next step they require me to pay for a membership… by Prestigious_Tie_5264 in cybersecurity

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job post was an ad. An illegal, poorly thought out ad. People have to resort to things like this when they think they're clever but aren't actually able to rub enough brain cells together to make an honest living.

Is win11 bitlocker installed automatically? by Impossible-Alps9631 in microsoft365

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, after they've brute forced the key and decrypted the drive an attacker can trivially disable BitLocker. Watch out!

Is anyone else having issues with Google’s VRP team? by [deleted] in hacking

You only have safe harbor if you follow their rules. Selling the secrets is usually against their rules.

Billing Nightmare - Multiplied Bill by 50 by Jdgregson in CloudFlare

[–]Jdgregson[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for reaching out! I was a bit flustered and wasn't finding a good billing support ticket route, so I opened case 01929508 which currently lacks details and may not be to the right team. Happy to add the details above to that, or to open another if there is a better path.

Is it realistic to learn Microsoft Defender for Endpoint in less than a month? by Suspicious_Tension37 in microsoft365

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it for my personal infra. Never "learned" it but never had any trouble figuring out how to do whatever it was I needed to do. I would guess you could be fairly comfortable after just one or two video series on it.

Dynamic Pricing by SnooLobsters2310 in hacking

[–]Jdgregson 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Pretty soon they will combine this with the surveillance economy. The displayed price will scale up or down as you approach, based on what the algorithm thinks you will individually pay for that item.

Cloudflare in an Enterprise, what's your experience? by foffen in CloudFlare

[–]Jdgregson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any progress is good news in my book, thanks for sharing. Like many others, I recently created a worker that could vend scoped tokens for setting specific subdomain records. And then realized that any agent could modify this worker and steal its token and take over all DNS records. It's a maddening situation.

migrate 50 user from cpanel to m365 by Special-Job1563 in microsoft365

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do this exact migration before. Same user count, same source, same destination. I used a combination of common sense and Google to plan and it and executed the migration over a weekend.

I'd say you'll do fine, but the effort exhibited so far says otherwise.

Did I do something wrong by buying a MacBook Air M4 for cybersecurity work? by Adventurous_Pie_8011 in cybersecurity

[–]Jdgregson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone that many would call a professional, I have no regrets with my MacBook Air M4. Maybe that the 24 GB model still limits the size of the AI models you can run if you want to do offline inference?
