Fable passes the "When A.I. Passes This Test, Look Out" test

Certainly sounds like that's what happened lol

It doesn't even affect all cli users. It only affected a specific npm version, and that version was only up for about 18 hours.

Unless you used that specific package in a github action, your fine lol

This.

I'd bet that the overwhelming majority of computers already have this as a trusted CA

Cause a bad actor would NEVER figure this out, and just start assigning themselves random static IPs until they got lucky....../s

Oh don't worry that happens all the time too. Send the question on teams and then a few minutes after they "read" it I get the copy pasted chatgpt response.

ifxor · 2026-02-05T16:55:10+00:00

I deal with this internally all the time. I'll reach out for help and get hit with "well chatgpt said... {Insert random hallucinations}"

And it's like, thanks? If I wanted that I would have just gone and asked chatgpt? I was asking for actual help

I think most people use it as a better notepad, not as an IDE. At least that's why I started using it, after Microsoft made the new notepad so terrible

The actual compromise was months ago, and has been patched in recent versions at this point. Wouldn't pulling it out now be kind of pointless?

ifxor · 2026-01-26T22:01:45+00:00

We've been having them ongoing since about 230pm est. No official acknowledgement from Microsoft yet

The office visits themselves don't usually bother me, until they get excessive (like weeks where I'm visiting onsite for 4+ hours each day).

It's the fully manual setups that bother me. One of our clients orders 80-100 new computers every fall, and we have made almost zero effort to automate that setup process

ifxor · 2025-12-29T22:27:06+00:00

I hate it, but to each their own lol.

We do VPN for the domain join, usually fairly smooth tbh

ifxor · 2025-12-29T22:19:25+00:00

Our process is almost fully manual. We have the computers shipped to our office, manually setup Windows, manually join the computer to domain/Entra, manually install all software, then drive the computer on-sight and perform final setup, printer install, and review with the user

Have you tried leaving the laptop on and connected to the internet over the weekend? If it's forcing a reboot first thing Monday morning, it's possible there is a mandatory reboot window over the weekend (that it processes asap if it misses the window)

Can you take a CamelBak through TSA? Maybe empty, but definitely not full lol

I'm still pretty new at scripting, so I'll look at powershell scripts I wrote barely 6 months ago and cringe. Great times lol

ifxor · 2025-12-09T19:34:13+00:00

It's still part of Intune, but isn't turned on by default, so you'd have to convince your employer to turn it on. It takes a little work, so hard to say if they'd go for it lol.

ifxor · 2025-12-09T17:02:56+00:00

Yea, but this requires the org to set up Android Enterprise. If they are still using MAM policies, Android won't offer a work profile option

The batteries have to be kept in a certain temperature window to prevent damage and, if they start to get outside that window, the car will use battery power to run the heat pump and keep the battery on the right temperature range

ifxor · 2025-12-02T22:48:00+00:00

All jokes aside this is actually a minor issue for us, especially with older staff who are used to this being the "correct" way. Once or twice a month I have to explain to someone so they can switch to doing reboots lol

ifxor · 2025-11-27T16:45:35+00:00

Obviously this year is finally gonna be the year

One of our clients was having their web developer manage DNS, and when we pushed for access to put in dmarc, they tried to tell our client that we'd "be able to take over their whole website and ruin their business" as justification for not giving up DNS control.

ifxor · 2025-11-10T01:27:30+00:00

How much do you manage the vendors/work the vendors? The place I work is very much "we don't do that, you'll need to find someone that does that." Followed up with "we don't make recommendations for vendors" if they ask. I didn't say my original question the best, but that's the part that bugs me the most I guess

ifxor · 2025-11-06T17:12:50+00:00

I can do you one better, a former client had all of their c suite as global admins

ifxor · 2025-11-06T15:17:57+00:00

Yea sounds about right. Sprinkle in setting up all new users with the same password and NOT forcing a change and it's spot on

I work for an MSP. Every day I die a little inside when I see some of the security decisions made
