Have you tried taking it out of a moderately tight pocket? Enjoy! It’s a shame because I think they look decent but just aren’t usable as a man.

Yeah, but very much from the playground perspective rather than security focused. Plus being able to spin up a new service with a few lines of bash rather than running an installer, which may have a ton of dependencies that get installed, but aren’t removed if you uninstall the app. Plus you...

I very much like Docker at home, running services all independent of each other on one host, if one breaks or you no longer want it, you just remove it, no impact on the other services if it goes wrong.

We had an outage for a fair bit yesterday because some chump referenced a DB table in yesterday’s release that didn’t exist which caused much fuckery. Need to get the guys who fixed it an “I Test in Prod” T-shirt

Be sure to mention how DevOps is a state of mind and you’ll be golden!

This years iPad pro is bonkers good. Probably overkill but the M4 is great and the new screens look so good along side my old 2019 one. That said, the Airs are probably plenty good enough unless you want FaceID

I think youll need a fan controller to adjust the fans individually for colour and brightness. If you daisy chain them you lose that individual fan control.

You can always turn it off if you don’t like it. I’ve got a stealth build since my case transplant, but 3 fans in the front with RGB if you want it to look like a Christmas tree, or you can just turn them off.

It sounds bandwidth intensive and for the rural folk with dial up it’s going to make even basic tasks choppy. I’m not sure if our guys will split tunnel it or pipe all the traffic over the always on VPN.

Yeah how do you fancy a job in recruitment?

That was my first question to our recruitment guy, he didn’t Have a good answer… Tbh I think sometimes he thinks IT and security are the same thing

Ok my rant is recruitment. Like is it that hard to find decent people? Interviewed someone yesterday who’d spent 10 years on the service desk and decided that qualified them for a senior security consultant role. Plz. Find sea. Get in.

The main thing pushing me from my 14PM is the lack of support for Apple Intelligence. Must be able to generate AI memes on the go.

Anyone had much hands on with Windows365? our digital leadership has decided it’s the silver bullet to solving our platform issues. Teams in a VDI, can’t wait

Nice photos. Shame the bridge has the worst ANPR cameras known to man

Their latest chips are bricking themselves and they’re not offering replacements (yet). They also announced like 12k redundancies and trying to save billions which isn’t a good sign.

I wonder if Intel will ever recover though. Has anyone tried any of the new ARM Windows PCs so far? I know there’s some compatibility issues but interested to hear how they stack up to Apple silicon in terms of battery and performance.

So does anyyyyyyone have even a small homelab? I’ve always enjoyed tinkering and breaking and fixing stuff. It’s just a Plex server and a bunch of containers mainly doing media (I mean Linux ISO) automation plus some unifi network stuff to play with. It might be because I don’t do any sysadmin...

The second any family member hears the words IT they think IT support, even if you were an IT project manager. They hear what they want to hear, and what they want to hear is free IT support. TBH it’s the same with cars, they see/hear you like cars and you’re all of a sudden their point of...

The dept I'm currently contracting for is both Azure and AWS, primarily AWS because of all the service offerings. Dread to think what the total spend is, but I will say that they make use of cloud benefits, so using native services like Margate to reduce patching burden and auto scaling groups...

Would you consider a pre-loved one? For that price you might not get much new but possibly a pretty decent 4-5 year old machine.

If you wanna share his email with us we’ll happily sign him up for Fishmongers Weekly and other reputable newsletters

Some of our IAM policies might as well have been written by the Saxons they make so little sense. You know it’s going well when there’s an allow and a deny for the same resource in one policy.

Fuckin loads. iCloud+ VPN Apple Music Apple Fitness AppleCare+ Prime AWS Need a spreadsheet to track em all. Tbf did used to have even more like Nvidia GeForce Now and Discovery+ but they were a bit of a waste.

Always great to hear that people like this do sometimes get what they're due. All too often these whoppers stir up fuss and no one calls them out.

It really shouldn't come as a surprise that they lure you in then just ramp up costs because they know lots cba to migrate off. Our client is having to do a lot of work because of AWS' new public IP pricing, I think they have something like 14,000 public IPs in use so that is both a huge cost...

As far as I can tell, DevOps is just a byword for doing things quickly, badly and without thinking about the consequences.

We have adopted the doughnut culture whereby the simple mantra is "f**k up, buy doughnuts (and not s**t ones)". It's weird how the prospect of some tasty doughnuts has you praying for the network intern to unmount the production SAN on a Friday (this happened at least 3 times).

Please confirm gender of COO so I can prepare correct response.

Seeing how people were losing their s**t when it came out that Google was still tracking activity in incognito made me realise people really don't understand how little 'privacy' incognito/private browsing provides. On a completely different topic: In a meeting today and one of the other...
