You might have missed that the story is about a man that owned a house in rural North Carolina, where, like many rural areas in the US, it's still possible to purchase houses for 200-300k. Living in a dense, urban environment close to

They want you to move everything to the cloud, for obvious reasons. However, if you have on-prem/non-cloud servers, AD is still in the mix. They actually recommend running an AD DC as a VM in the cloud as a backup and to integrate clou

Supernova has fixed a number of the performance issues with large mailboxes, but that was fairly recent. People steeped in Windows still prefer the sleek/modern UI in Outlook over TB, in my experience, but the biggest benefit in Outloo

AD is also better and more feature complete. It was born out of necessity, but it's had decades of refinement in thousands of deployments that the OSS solutions haven't had.

People always forget about Outlook. Name me a competing desktop app that does integrated calendar, email, todo, and meetings as well as Outlook. Thunderbird is (unfortunately) a joke, and web clients aren't as nice when managing comple

The law naturally, and rightly, draws a big distinction between simple theft and robbery. If he was shoplifting diapers and food, there might be a case for sympathy, but using a deadly weapon to take by force implies a willingness to murder

It's not necessarily a good choice for cloud, where the DBA-level responsibilities are handled for you, and the per-hour premium doesn't buy you much. SQL Azure is really only a fit for applications/expertise already tied to

Pure nonsense, except for the licensing cost comment. SQL Server has arguably the best query planner/optimizer in the RDBMS space, and it also has tons of management tools and simple integrations in a Windows environment (tight AD inte

You can usually get concentrated cleaning solutions, but they tend to be used more by industry/businesses. These quats are sold concentrated as dish sanitizer (mixed in a sink full of water) for restaurants, for example. I think consum

Well, we do use it in most hand-sanitizer solutions. I assume alcohol isn't a popular (home) cleaner because it is volatile and requires high concentrations (70%+) to be effective. From a cost perspective, the Clorox Company no doubt p

Another technique I've found very useful is generative integration tests (kind of like fuzzing), especially for idempotent API endpoints (GETs). For example, assuming you have a test database with realistic data (or scrubbed production

The homeownership rate has been remarkably stable at around 65% for the last 50 years. It generally stays within 2-3% of that number, even though it does have periodic, temporary upward and downward trends. I wouldn't call it an actual

I used Slack at that prior role, and I know I had a bunch of notifications rules and schedules to mute channels that didn't require immediate action. As often written about, Slack can be a productivity killer with the constant chatter

Heavily guard your morning time, and don't even open your email/chat programs until closer to lunch. At least for me (maybe it's the caffeine rush), but that morning block is the most valuable/productive time of my day a

I would definitely think this would be very topic-dependent. Perhaps the flip side to this is to consider when (if ever) lies or mistruths are allowable. After all, a lie, believed sincerely, makes the believer 'wrong' about somet

It's not clear, even, to what depth this 'best practice' applies. Writing your own crypto primitives is probably a bad idea, but what about combining them? AEAD approaches demonstrate there can be nuance even with battle-test

The TP Link Kasa plugs are well documented and have a dead simple TCP payload to turn them on/off. They also have the cloud option, but I don't see why you couldn't use a wireguard tunnel or something from their router if you

My router (Mikrotik Hex) redirects all DNS requests it receives to the Adguard server (with masquerade.) DHCP hands out the router for DNS. A recurring script attempts to resolve a domain from Adguard every 30s, and if that fails, the NAT r

Unsurprisingly, Google and Facebook IoT junk is the worst. They both hardcode their own DNS, and I've caught Google devices ignoring the DNS IP from DHCP (not the gateway) and attempting to resolve from the gateway (with external block

You can also set a registry key to ignore TPM/CPU requirements with the regular upgrade tools.

You're forgetting the other convenience value of the TPM in Windows, which is that it allows you to use a PIN/bio instead of your (hopefully) long and complex account password.
