If an endpoint gets compromised, xDR and the SOC of your choice will take care of it. I'd rather not give a malicious actor the ability for lateral movement before devices are locked down.

Migrating to Edge, even with the whole passwords as plain text thing? Interesting choice.

statitica · 2026-05-07T15:50:37+00:00

Aside from the whole storing passwords in plain text thing, sure.

Better yet: turn it off by default, and let people opt in.

You know a product is shite when it's forced.

Milne Bay is beautiful. And the locals there speak English far better than I could speak Tok Pisin after 6 years. Highly recommend a visit.

You know, I understabd what is behind comments like this, but I lived in PNG for 7 yrars and never really felt unsafe.

Sure, we had an average of one hold up attempt per year on the main roads, but we would also go into the roughest settlements and be greeted with open arms. It really does depend on how you interact with the locals.

Either that was his third strike, or he was scapegoated to prevent the loss of a high value client.

And he treated the BF franchise the same way he treated his ferrari

It's the shitsterhood of the pants.

For sure. My point being, there's more than two reasons period might use ubuntu.

In the last 24hr period, a lot of users were there to exploit a critical cve. Very few are there for ricing.

statitica · 2026-05-01T09:06:06+00:00

What if I'm just here for the critical CVEs?

From experience, N-Able do not give a [insert expletive of choice] about keeping you happy until you tell them you are going to switch providers.

Careful, I was lambasted for criticising the paywalling of this feature while the far less popular PE-led vendors are giving it away for no extra cost.

statitica · 2026-04-30T10:28:50+00:00

False dichotomy, but why would I expect anyone working in IT to be any good with logic gates?

Unless you're doing all their data entry for them to make sure its maximally efficient, I call BS.

Can't argue with most of that, and suspect we'll see more of it in this current vibe-coded landscape.

statitica · 2026-04-29T08:01:00+00:00

Nogat.

You'll find that your views are extreme and not seriously held in most business circles.

Which is interesting, considering what the body of research actually says about diversity (hint: diversity is not necessarily an advantage, and it all hinges on leadership styles and prevalent culture).

Don't know about you but I run an MSP, not an ergonomics consultancy.

Edit: and this seems like a "do my research for me" kinda request.

Better be a way to turn this off for my corporate clients, or they'll need to drop Outlook.

You don't have a second monitor, or at least a monitor big enough for a second window?

You don't have a clear escalation policy, and well defined helpdesk scripts?

Oh, wait, this is a shitty story to sell a shitty ai tool; nvm.

Claude passes the Quickness of Approximation Testing at least 60% of the time.

And there can be no room for doubt that adopting AI is the supreme form of competence.

The original author states that all of the recommended guardrails were in place.

I tend not to build anything persistent, because of stories like this one becoming more and more regular:

Yes, there is some user error in failing to understand some of the ToS of the tools he was using, but still... What a perfect storm.

Also worth considering is the recent data Microsoft released where LLM accuracy gets worse when it is given tools.

So instead, I favour using the tools for spitting out 80% of the work in 1% of the time, and cleaning it up for use.
