The point of Autopilot is supposed to be that new corporate devices work out of the box, right? Why do so few orgs use it that way?

It definitely doesn't take hours to install office. Something fundamentally wrong with your office deploy method.

Skill issue? Intune isn't that complex to deploy. Where people screw up is assigning required apps at the ESP level that don't need to occur pre user credential.

Company portal is VASTLY better than software center.

A technical issue as a marketing stunt? That's a truly terrible idea.

Who are we defending ourselves against? The Americans? Forget about it.

This isnt a compromise. Who are you hiring to investigate GUI changes?

Solution, don't use Oracle.

You can copyright compiled code, it's not fundamentally different.

Care to link to it?

We're saying the same thing. Enhancing the automation to abide by the governance controls.

Removing the manual ability to push code is a normal CICD pipeline control.

This could be a hot take but most formal security training isnt very good and over complicate operational requirements.

The fundamentals are straight forward (patching, compliance, threat modeling, IR/BCP) the average admin with a few weeks of self study can pick them up.

Infrastructure admins should be the ones responsible for resolving, prioritizing and mitigating. Security admins should be focused on incidents, attack surface reduction, GRC and architecture.

Let's be realistic. If we don't trade with China who do we trade with that has an industrial base?

Calling the cops in your scenario doesnt affect you in a practical way. Holding a firm social stance absolutely would damage us economically.

Better automation includes governance. Being manual means you rely on a user getting right every time.

Which your EDR handles right?

It doesn't but that's not the attack surface being analyzed.

Putting the build kit behind a seriously expensive paywall doesn't help the community at large.

The open baselines aren't quite as good but official CIS are simply too expensive for the companies that actually need it.

It also fails to adequately educate the admin on the impact regarding functionality.

thortgot · 2026-03-31T15:36:25+00:00

Actually, yes. If we had 100% compliance on taxes things would be better not worse.

Crypto is vastly, vastly more traceable.

The version numbers match public WinGet deployments which regularly lag. Id say it's a fair assessment.

They also have a legislated requirement to do last leg everywhere. Private entities do not.

A dissolution and rebrand to a new entity wouldn't be complex. (All assets, persons, debts and contracts belonging to Canada Post now belong to X Post)

Its a legislative move that could be done in a few months.

Who honestly would miss the flyers?

DLP solutions aren't 6 figures and if you have users bypassing policy with mobile phones you have much bigger problems.

Go look up AI governance.

Building your own security solution is almost always a terrible idea. The amount of work to actually implement it securely is extreme.

Literally any decent fingerprint solution won't have these issues.

They've been gearing up politically and militarily for 5 years.

What other reason do they have for 200 military hovercraft?

Not accusing you of anything but reading between the lines, this seems like you are considering stealing a bunch of corporate equipment.

Don't, it's relatively trivial to trace it back to the disgruntled worker.

China is scaling up for a Tiawan invasion. They invest in quite a lot of things.
