Just straight vanilla powershell is pretty good

If Republicans had the requisite awareness to have any level of media literacy, they would not be Republican

IIRC, they only do this if you’re logged in with a Microsoft account.

Bitlocker is disabled by default if you only use local accounts

Not that it helps now, but you can also dump your bitlocker recovery key through powershell and save it independently.

At the end of the interview when they ask “do you have any other questions for us”, if it went well and you decide that you want to work there, ask about what your first day looks like compared to an average day after you’re settled in.

This can be a little social engineering push to have your interviewer shift their perception of you into someone that is already hired.

Im not sure exactly how the system works, but if I were designing one, there would be 3 approaches I can think of.

The first is to equip the lock with a GPS system and dictate that it locks if it’s not within range of a particular location. This one would be the most expensive to implement, but should come with minimal opportunity for messing with it.

Next down the list is each lock is equipped with a radio to connect to a wifi or sub-GHz broadcaster, and as soon as it misses enough heartbeats to a central control point, it locks the wheels. This could be disrupted by jamming the signal, but jammers of this type are highly illegal, and easily trackable.

Last is the cheapest option, which is to include an RFID module tied to the lock and a system to broadcast a signal at the perimeter. If a cart comes within range for a long enough period then the RFID tag is activated and the wheels lock.

I suspect it’s probably a sub-GHz radio situation, with the broadcast power tuned to be within a few hundred meters of the store. If you had some kind of SDR you could probably pinpoint the signal they use and repeat it, letting you wheel a cart outside the zone, but as soon as you stop the signal the wheels will lock.

I tend to just take the defaults when I’m deploying. I wouldn’t get any benefit of having home or tmp on a separate partition, but it’s nice that it’s an option.

This is the short of it. Tate explains in no uncertain terms that society is to blame for the insecurities they feel, and provides an easy answer on how to fix it that kind of works, because it emulates self-confidence.

Man’s unlocked the secret code to infinite money.

If I pay for everything with a debit card it doesn’t count as real money because it’s just a number on a screen and therefore doesn’t exist.

Thr amount of bees that an average colony loses every day to natural hazards is way higher than would be lost with a serving of this.

Similar enterprise-grade SSDs go for around $16K

This, but unironically

As relevant now as it was 10 years ago

Yeah, this sounds a lot like that high temp superconductor from a year or so ago

When do we start needing active coolers for our drives?

You can get spinning rust all the way up to 32 TB in a single 3.5" disk and 8 TB in an NVMe drive. The tech is out there, but it takes time for the price of stuff like that to come down when there isnt much demand for it.

Definitely vaporwave. Something about the chill beats and the 90s tech advertising aesthetic really does it for me

Nah, they’ll just brand it as “Next Gen AI” or “True AI” or something. Kind of like how antivirus became “Endpoint Detection and Response”

“I prefer jovial” would’ve become the goto rainbow capitalist phrase
