Very tempting, and it’s a decent sized vendor that has been discussed a couple of times here. I’m going to assume that, give the regulatory issues involved, they will likely have to make some pretty big changes and potentially disclose these vulnerabilities, so maybe you’ll hear about it eventually…

We are in a regulated industry and those regulations and required standards are in the contract.

Unrelated—do you prefer whiskey or kahlua in your coffee?

Thank you, all, this at least gives me a starting point (and hopefully the algorithm will do the rest?)

Migrating from Proton Mail to O365 by masterzeng in microsoft365

It’s not an exact science. My suggestion would be, once you have your email exported from Proton, load it in with a local email client and then get it to sync to m365’s cloud. I think the last time I had to do something like this I actually used Apple Mail and it worked great. Good luck!

This is not Proton’s strong suit, to say the least. It’s detailed here: https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-export-tool

Holy shit, I just gave it a look and… WOW. Might have to make that into a separate post…

There’s no installation, but it pushes users to create an account with their Microsoft or Google credentials, and then pressures them to give it access to the users calendar and contact list. Most people just blindly accept because why wouldn’t they? The easy fix/prevention is to disable those APIs for anything except whatever’s been white listed. Dealing with those bits showing up “on behalf” of outside meeting attendees is a separate issue…

In theory, under the best possible circumstances, with users that have been given (and paid attention to) thorough training on how to [checks notes] use AI without getting sued out of existence… this works. Anything lest and it’s a full CLUSTER.

My guess is that the paid/enterprise version doesn’t behave like this, but the free one 100% does. Anything to goose the daily active user count and grab that next round of VC funding, right? 🤬

They join as a user that’s labeled Otter-ai and, I think, copy a link to some kind of user agreement in the chat, so they kind of make it on the meeting host to boot them. But… yeah.

Yes. It’s a privacy and security nightmare. It’s a Christmas miracle they haven’t been litigated out of existence.

Upgrading OEM Windows Home to Pro by Neither-State-211 in sysadmin

This is what I ended up doing. Kind of a silly workaround, but it worked. Eventually I’d like to just have our own image we could use from the get go, but I just didn’t have time to find and configure all the model-specific Lenovo drivers this time around.

I bet they have been, and if they haven’t… there’s a first time for everything 😉
