I use DBeaver at work when I am having problems with psql commands in terminal. It's prevented me from pulling out my hair a few times.

Unfortunately they are already in the market and making a mess: https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/21/crowdstrike_linux_crashes_restoration_tools/

I'm not remotely shocked Amazon is pushing this asinine policy given that Bezos unabashedly believes workers are lazy.

I know that Bezos is no longer the CEO, but he's cultivated a company culture that reflects these beliefs and this policy push is more evidence management has bought into the nonsense.

Specifically MVNOs would be stupid to do this since they are leasing from primary network operators (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and have to play be the rules of the contract with those companies.

Plus in OPs case Visible is owned by Verizon and Xfinity runs on Verizons network. It's not Xfinity's interest to piss off Verizon who could kick them off their network. That would result in less negotiating power with other networks and result in higher costs for them.

I hate to say it but company data is most definitely on personal computers.

This is why stuff like adaptive MFA and DLP are a thing. What most people don't know is if DLP is properly implemented the IT team/department have records of who, when, where, and what device were used to not just access/download data/files.

The problem is a lot of companies don't properly implement DLP because it's not a turn key solution. You need to properly classify your data first and that requires essentially a company wide audit with buy-in from all levels of management. After the classifications you can then implement restrictions and compensating controls.

Back in the day you could just block USB/network transfer, but if you have data accessible outside of a corporate network you then need to implement conditional access/adaptive MFA where only registered devices are permitted to access certain systems.

That 6% attributed to "unknown" is the one true OS, the only one ordained by the Almighty... Temple OS!

Chief Justice Roberts yelling at Justice Thomas, "Thomas ya really fucked our reputation with all your blatant corruption."

"Ah fuck em, I think people are only jealous. They can't be corrupt and get away with it like I can.", Thomas quips

"You greasy old scumbag! You just gave me the best way we can get the other branches off our ass!" Roberts exclaims.

There is an option in the UEFI settings to swap the Fn and Ctrl keys.

When they rolled out the beta Microsoft said it wouldn't be, but they could always change their mind with the general release. Excerpt from a previous Verge article about the beta rollout (https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/12/24128640/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ads-app-recommendations):

“This will appear only for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel in the US and will not apply to commercial devices (devices managed by organizations),” says Microsoft in a blog post.

Unfortunately, this article doesn't actually quote Microsoft saying it's rolling out to ALL machines. That bit in the article is from the author.

I can't wait for the stories about people jailbreaking these AI accounts because they are probably just using the ChatGPT API.

Google is removing the VPN and free shipping (which was only available on some photo orders) to make way for more "in demand features"?

I could understand if this was coming from a smaller company with more limited resources and staff, but that's not Google by any means.

They really don't care about the poor reputation the general public has of them regarding shutting down services on a whim.

What's worse though is they don't seem to realize that, with the exception of Android and maybe Google Docs, their services/products are easily replaced by competitor offerings.

In my opinion it's a good thing if Google gets knocked of their high horse and allow competition to flourish in their place.
