• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Amazon workers considering job hunting due to 5-day in-office policy: Poll⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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 (theverge.com/…/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ad…):

  “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 are from the author.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN by Google One is shutting down for good⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introducing Sudo for Windows⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This means I no longer have to use my workaround command that loads a new terminal window with admin privileges!

  Now, I might not completely loathe using Windows at work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My search results were showing Firefish th CRM/Recruiting software as well (used DDG).

  Seems like the devs might want to consider changing the project name or work on SEO.
