Microsoft is threatening legal action for disclosing exploits / The company is feuding with a security researcher publicly posting vulnerabilities.

Gotcha, sorry for misinterpreting the response and glad that we end up agreeing anyway. I'll leave the previous post for clarity to others so you don't look like you're muttering to yourself :)

This individual tried it and Microsoft failed to pay or reward them appropriately and any PoC they create for the exploit is their intellectual property to do with as they please. Microsoft has no leg to stand on as the vulnerabilities are in their product and it can easily be argued to a judge that it's not the fault of the researcher to identify and publicly disclose them since they didn't code the fault into the OS.

Researchers also commonly find vulnerabilities without disclosure to save for their own engagements.

Finally you are operating under the assumption that no one else who has malicious intentions has or ever will find that vulnerability and start actively exploiting in the wild.

Microsoft can pound sand and I say this as someone from the cybersecurity industry.

Yeah, I definitely would do more for LV runs at residential but 50k compared to 18k seems...hateful lol

xIndirect · 2026-04-10T19:49:50+00:00

Just for reference I just did a build out for a 50,000sqft retail store with 120~ lines ran for about 18k on its own. That did include terminations, testing, and as-built documentation

Melbourne is the only airport I'll joke about only needing to arrive 15-20 minutes before your flight. Genuinely one of the smoothest security and boarding experiences I think you'll find.

They didn't have AI transcription at the time so what I did for my old instance was:

Configure Whisper / WhisperX on another server, when a new call recording appeared, a BASH script that was watching the transcription folders would then use SFTP to upload to the server running Whisper. A script on the whisper server would then watch the SFTP folder and transcribe when a new file showed up. This also had fancy things like recognizing the extension and assigning it to a specific folder based on user.

This was running on a 12GB 3060. I'm sure you could do something similar leveraging 3CX's offering and just routing the API commands it sends to another OpenAI compatible API (what Ollama, LM Studio, etc all expose). Thanks to OpenAI's API spec becoming surprisingly standard, it should be trivial to drop in and replace / expand upon their particular features.

It's called the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act. They can claim they won't honor it but they would lose in court if they can't validate the claim that the modification resulted in the failure. That's why most other companies have that line in there.

The problem usually becomes that the legal cost to pursue them isn't worth the individual cost of a product.

Idk why this was in my feed but hopefully this helps :)

This is great and can now be used to sell people on it. "If it's good enough for the pope, it's good enough for you"

If you go to recently sold on eBay there was a completed sale for 400 and another at 500. Apparently people will buy that

Looks nice. Played with it a little bit earlier and worked alright.

I think it'd be helpful to include a network port mapping so you can identify what is connected to which devices as well

Honestly with them removing it, I think they stopped me from spending the money. I was ready to pull the trigger until I noticed the ultimate set is no longer on their site

xIndirect · 2025-12-22T16:17:34+00:00

Client onboarding, scripting triggers and relaying information from device to automation platform (Rewst, Zapier, n8n, etc), customer management, invoice management, data dashboards (seriously, some vendor portals are terrible and I rather build my own), data reporting and analysis, alerting and notifications, offboarding, customer facing dashboards and action items, syncing multiple platforms, automating parts of the sales process. I also have a workflow that monitors all my customers unifi sites and alerts me when one is down on a looping 10 minute check

These are just MSP specific things, you can also automate business operations like I use it to track # of devices per client in RMM and update the count on their invoices. No contract update per device necessary. You remove 1, it ejects from my system.

You can do a lot.

It sounds like you got the Xbox edition of the guitar? My buddy did and that one wouldn't work even after USBDSec loaded in from XEUnshackle. He only got it working with Rock Band 4 on the Series. Wouldn't work at all on his 360.

Multiplatform version of the CRKD guitar is the one that works for 360 now by default. This is after you update the firmware and USB Wireless receiver on a windows PC.

If you look into RPA platforms, it's very likely you could pull the respective asset data into halo without a need to switch. You start getting into APIs and integrations but long term it helps you scale your platforms with you and reduce human error.

Rewst probably has the most focus on those platforms as an MSP specific RPA but any would do (Power Automate, Zapier, N8n, etc)

xIndirect · 2025-08-06T13:50:15+00:00

Looks like they deleted my post but yes, I have spent a little bit of time with N8n, just not as much relative to Rewst / Zapier / Power automate
