It's putting reliability in the hands of the client, or whatever random caching DNS resolver they're sitting behind. It also puts failover in those same hands. If one of your regions goes down, do you want the traffic to spread ev

TOFU for invalid/untrusted certificates is the equivalent of "go there anyway" in a browser Very different than explicitly trusting a Private CA. It means that skilled attackers can rely on unskilled users clicking the &quo

So in summary: iOS used to accept untrusted certificates, yikes! Now, it validates the server cert, and people are upset? This blatantly insecure thing is broken now and the posters don't want to set it up securely? It seems like these

Casually writing code and writing code that securely handles customer data and maintains availability for something you're selling are two different things.

This is Forbes gracefully telling you that if you won't take their ads, then they don't want to give you their sloppy resummarization of someone else's article. Also, lol: Microsoft: Windows 11 is an essential update to Windo

Are you a tech generalist, or a failed specialist? Are you a Renaissance man, or a dilettante? It's easy to identify as a generalist. How do you know if you're a good one? How can a hiring manager figure out if you're a good

Anecdotal, but my X220 Tablet suffered a complete system board failure within five years. Shortest usable life out of all the ThinkPads I've owned and repaired. Loved the form factor but just didn't last very long.

For Android, Edge and Opera both have ad blocking built-in. It's comments like these that remind me what I'm (not) missing.

Why this story? Why now? Nothing new, no new insight from FT. I assume people just really want to share their opinion about voice assistants and Alexa?

Yes, it's confusing that the UI doesn't highlight that "Jeff's MSA" and "Jeff's MSA at This School" are different accounts when it makes statements about the school owning the account. By adding him,

If you want to see a real mess: * Create a consumer MSA based on a Gmail account * Invite that MSA into an AzureAD directory * Try to sign in as that user to that directory. Good luck!

Why didn't you just click Change Directory in the Azure portal and go back to your personal AzureAD where you can create your app registrations? What has happened here is that you have essentially two accounts: One is your consumer MSA
