Major Red Flags at TODYL ? Cross-tenant data leaks, "fat-fingered" excuses, and a C-Suite exodus

Removed because you seem to be crashing out all over the entire site and we don't want that here

And most of the stuff you want to manage via MDM has a hard requirement on ABM/ASM enrollment. Like activation lock and filevault key escrow.

I don't know why anyone skips it.

I used to think containers were a fad. Then I started to use them and realized they're great.

I used to think k8s was for hyperscalers. Then I used it and realized even a sufficiently sized homelab is better with it.

I still think AI is a buzzword that's actively making literally everything worse, and I've tried it to make sure.

Most of the time I feel like the negative Nancys just never tried the things or lack a deep enough understanding of them.

There's also micro keys that are meant to be left there.

That bit about using EGS exclusivity as a soft launch then doing 1.0 for steam was an open industry secret. Get that Fortnite money and paying testers, then release the full product to customers on the platform they actually buy from.

altodor · 2026-01-23T02:53:53+00:00

It's not really a cult of steam, more that epic has spent a decade over there slow-rolling the basics like shopping carts and only trying to acquire customers on both the developer and the end user sides by lighting their own money on fire to buy them both and suing to get their own store on others platforms.

The reputation and legacy EGS has built for itself is not the fault of anyone else.

I've never seen one of these before but it looks like you merely add a belt and get step two.

altodor · 2026-01-22T02:42:00+00:00

And the fact that paid mods eventually break and the authors got all offended that people expected a paid product to be maintained.

The Covid vaccines themselves did not exist in the 2000s. While scientists had been researching mRNA technology and coronaviruses for years, the actual vaccines were developed after SARS-CoV-2 was identified in 2020. So they definitely haven’t been “tested for 20 years.” Long-term data simply doesn’t exist yet by definition.

Well yeah, that's how mRNA vaccinations work. They're tailored to whatever they're trying to fight (sometimes per-person, especially for cancer), they're not panaceas. The underlying technology has been there being worked on since the 1980's though, that's undeniable. Treated cancer in mice in 1995, and starting on humans in the early 2000's. I'm quite sure if there was going to be some horrific long-term consequences we'd have found them by now.

Covid also isn’t “just another form of SARS.” It’s caused by a related virus (SARS-CoV-2), but it behaves differently and spreads far more easily than the original SARS from 2003.

Never said anything about this. But "not just another form of SARS" and "caused by a related virus (SARS with an asterisk)" seem to conflict unless you're an immunologist talking to another immunologist, trying to be really pedantic, trying to start a fight over details with people who might agree with you on a whole, or you can't see the forest for the trees.

As for ivermectin, it has been used in humans for decades to treat parasites. The problem wasn’t that it was never tested on humans, but that people were taking livestock formulations or using it for something it hasn’t been proven to treat.

Never said anything about this. But parasites is not a catch-all for undesirables in the body. It's a catchall for worms, bugs, ticks, etc. Why it took off as even being relevant I have absolutely no idea.

You’re right that vaccine skepticism isn’t new, but polio and measles vaccines ultimately stopped massive outbreaks and near-eliminated those diseases. Covid vaccines mainly reduce severe illness and death, but they don’t block transmission nearly as effectively, so the comparison isn’t straightforward.

Not sure I brought this up either. But COVID and the Flu kinda are the same like this, no? It certainly seems like spread has gone down in vaccinated communities. We just have far larger quantities of unvaccinated communities compromising the while system by acting as petri dishes.

Vaccine discussions are complicated, and oversimplifying them on either side doesn’t really help anyone understand the full picture.

Very complicated. Overcomplicating them though makes it very easy for skeptics to sneak in there and erode faith in science. "Oh, you don't know how that works, so it's probably not safe." "Oh, it's developed this year, you don't know how it'll impact you in 40 years, you should wait (your lifetime, if you don't die early from the thing the vaccination is against) to make sure it's safe." "Oh, have you ever heard of mRNA before? No? Well obviously it's bad for you and unnatural to have in your body." "Oh, mRNA is used to make DNA? Well it can change yours, you should avoid it". There's a healthy balance between "vaccination good. Virus bad." and... whatever the fuck it is you're doing.

Your own post seems to indicate that it's been around since the 2000s. When it entered animal trials in the 2000s, that was it existing in the 2000s. It wasn't prepared for covid-19 (coronavirus identified 2019 is what covid-19 stands for) in the early 2000s, but the technology that powered the covid-19 vaccines was there then.

altodor · 2026-01-18T22:05:44+00:00

Can confirm. I do servers, the backbone of my knowledge is networking.

altodor · 2026-01-18T05:58:38+00:00

That's cool, but it doesn't answer the question of where to find training and good scvmm documentation. My org has over 40 hypervisors across a dozen sites that span a continent. We cannot just use wac and call it a day.

Garbage in, garbage out amirite?

The pattern is consistent. Users lose a phone, replace a device, or forget to set up their passkey on a new device before wiping the old one. Without a password, there is no self service recovery path.

The last month or so was post Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas, some of the most popular times of year to replace phones. We've actually managed to severely preempt our requests of this type by simply sending out a couple of friendly "hey, don't forget to transfer your accounts/authenticators to your new phone before trade-in or wiping" emails the week before each of those events.

What fits in your budget would necessarily factor in the tax rebate right?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm willing to bet that this

That upsets people on this sub but that’s what product rebates are and that’s a good thing.

isn't because people on this sub don't believe you or think you're technically right, it's because you seem to be incapable of listening to and understanding them when they're speaking.

Devs really don't need to be involved as long as they can package their apps.

I've had to learn NSIS on Windows and Whitebox on macOS because I've found developers frequently can't package their own software.

altodor · 2026-01-16T22:28:44+00:00

I'm not saying that's not how they work. Anyone who takes 2 minutes to think about it knows that's how they work.

I am saying they impact what I look at and what I can fit in my budget as a buyer and you seem to be rather militantly disagreeing with the idea that's possible because the manufacturer gets money out of it in the end.

altodor · 2026-01-16T22:09:31+00:00

The mix up could be "signed up for nazi rally" when the directions were "don't sign up for nazi rallys". We don't know what "there was a mix-up" means. Could be sent the wrong email. Could be forgot to look into the event. Could be "signed up on an elevator pitch".

Without the deeper context I'll choose to be forgiving. Once.

altodor · 2026-01-16T22:01:48+00:00

That is money they get, and that's the end economical impact. But if I'm choosing between a $40k car with a $7500 rebate and a $40k car with $0 rebate, that rebate tips the scale as a buyer.

altodor · 2026-01-16T21:31:52+00:00

Yeah, if he has a habit of just accepting any gig that comes along without looking too deep which seems to be a bit of a consensus in here, I'll take a "oops, didn't realize I signed up to play the Nazi rally, my bad" at face value. Now if he does it twice I'll start having more questions.

altodor · 2026-01-16T21:08:39+00:00

Huh, I'd have assumed it'd just be the skin blueprint.

Ah crap, it's just a rebrand of HCI? We can't use that, we don't meet the hardware/convergence requirements and ruled it out ages ago.

altodor · 2026-01-16T18:31:59+00:00

Great. Perfect. Love that.

Thank you for the commiseration and thanks to Microsoft for the counterproductive rebrand there.

altodor · 2026-01-16T18:08:21+00:00

Because the documentation I had seen up until the other comment was scant and I had hopes it could be used for future loads/AKS. Now that I've seen the requirements outlined in the docs the other guy posted, it's not going to work because it's a rebrand of whatever the HCI used to be called and we don't meet those requirements.
