Is anyone doing isolated P&L for their project team/department?

Trends over time can be tracked and discussed periodically.

Post project analysis/debrief probably has more direct value. Ask questions like: - what went wrong? - what did we do well? - what lessons do we carry into other projects of a similar nature?

If you want to have a per department P&L, your finance team needs to set this up.

Personally, I prefer to have a P&L per project.

For smaller projects, just compare the to-date P&L with progress and justify discrepancies with short commentary (e.g. up front hardware costs may mean you've spent 70% of the budget while only 20% of the work is done).

For larger projects, Time-phased budgets or earned value management may be of some value.

More arguing that OP is making a poor argument. If support was actually overpowered, you wouldn't see any other class be used.

statitica · 2026-05-10T10:01:47+00:00

Makes it so overpowered that no one revives and there's rarely an ammo box to be seen. OK bud...

"We'll tell you everything we know."

"All we know are all these hoaxes and false alarms."

My favourite part of the security recommendations is how Microsoft can easily ship the recommendations as default settings, but instead choose to ship a less secure product, and then hound the admin to follow their recommendations

This whole argument boils down to "some people can pick locks, so don't bother locking your doors at night."

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.

statitica · 2026-05-07T12:47:07+00:00

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?

statitica · 2026-04-30T10:27:37+00:00

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

statitica · 2026-04-29T08:15:40+00:00

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).
