Instead of disposing of or recycling sub-standard chips, Intel used to repurpose some into keychains.

As others have said, RoundUp / glyphosate doesn’t always handle these tougher plants. I’ve had good results with Crossbow: https://www.winfieldunited.com/products/herbicides/crossbow/...

Not sure if that is readily available in all regions, though.

I realize this is mostly focused on XG-PON, but I’m curious if this is as much of an issue with WDM-PON that’s in use by some providers (Google Fiber is one, I think).

That’s the case with any MDM solution. Whether you use Intune, XenMobile, Jamf, etc. you are using that service to install a validated management profile on your device. Nearly every major institution does this. Personally, I picked the free Jamf solution so that I could better control my kids’ devices. It’s more complicated than Apple’s Screen Time solution, but there is so much more that you can govern with the management profiles.

What I would love to see is a robust FOSS MDM option. There seem to be a few out there, but I’m not sure how well they’re maintained.

No, you don’t need ABM. See my earlier message about Apple Configurator.

Supervised mode comes courtesy of Apple Configurator (free). MDM comes courtesy of Jamf Now (also free for three devices, for now). The combination of the two should be sufficient.

For those looking at using this at home with their family, I think it’s possible with a little effort. Jamfnow is free for three devices, and you can use Apple Configurator to setup the iPad in supervised mode. I haven’t tried multiple profiles myself, though.

Your comment seems a bit tangential to the central point of this article which is more about poorly governed sharing permissions in SharePoint.

For what it’s worth, Microsoft does have support for customer keys at their E5 licensing level:

Sort of like the water pumping station in Raleigh, NC:

I know they aren’t the same scale as Google, but what you wrote really describes Atlassian for me.

There’s a good reason for this: Joe DeSimone founded Carbon3D as well. He’s at the forefront in this field.

I would think the analogy is more akin to Netflix vs owning a copy of a movie. In many cases, consumers have a choice. They can spend a bit more and always have access to a copy of a movie that they own or they could hope that it’s available on one of their streaming services (the availability being beyond the control of the consumer and subject to arbitrary decisions). This is setting aside the fact that subscription-based access almost always requires an Internet connection and DRM protections which can be viewed as an invasion of privacy.

For me, the “https” in the Netscape URL is sort of an anachronism. I mean, yes, technically it was available in Netscape in 1999, but very few sites used it (even among e-commerce sites).

I remember the first ProLiant server we flipped to support SSL had to have an add-in card to accelerate the encryption based on the traffic we handled. It was something like this: https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/c04283920.PDF?jumpid=in_pb-psn...

I don’t think it’s allowed without permission per: https://www.usa.gov/government-copyright

Specifically, “Endorsement, trademarks, and agency logos You cannot use government materials in a way that implies endorsement by a government agency, official, or employee. For example, using a photo in your advertisement of a government official wearing or using your product is not permitted. You also cannot use federal government trademarks or federal government agency logos without permission. For example, in general, you cannot use an agency logo or trademark on your social media page to suggest endorsement or sponsorship by the agency.”

NOAA does have a licensing program, but I somehow doubt that this app was part of that program. Assuming that’s true, then this is likely a case of poor enforcement.

Agreed. This is what we settled on as well after doing some research. They also have longer than average warranties on most models.

Carolina, in this case, refers to the name of the institution. This is likely based on its history. UNC-Chapel Hill used to be the only public institution of higher education in the southeastern US. Over time, UNC evolved to become the name of the system of schools that includes UNC-CH, NCSU, and 15 other campuses.

To this day, however, UNC-CH is still often referred to as Carolina, UNC, Chapel Hill, or - for athletics - the Tar Heels.

The UDM-SE I have has a 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps WAN ports:

They also have multi-Gbps switches up to 25Gbps SFP28:

For what it’s worth, Ubiquiti supports WireGuard now, and it’s very easy to setup:

I probably need to look at their methodology, but my Model 3 hit 1017mi/hr at a 250kW station this month. With Tesla, on a long trip, the battery will pre-condition itself (heating I believe) to allow for faster charging rates. To be fair the number I quoted above, was with a single-digital SOC and a pre-conditioned system. Nevertheless, my real world experience is nearly 2x what Edmunds is reporting.

My guess is that Microsoft’s own resources have to go into supporting enterprise commitments to M365 Copilot (and other Copilots) and their Azure OpenAI service. Bing Chat is easier to carve out from the enterprise / Azure stack.

Also known as a Dagwood Sandwich for those who remember:

The new terms will be available in early October, I believe.

I believe you’re referring to GitHub Copilot which is a distinct offering in their portfolio (still Microsoft). GitHub Copilot was based on GPT-3 with fine tuning from public code repositories. That is the controversial aspect of it, I believe.

This blog post refers to the broader ecosystem of Microsoft Copilot solutions. Most of those tools rely on the Azure OpenAI API service on the backend and are not specifically tailored for code generation.

My UDM-Pro-SE has a 12TB hard drive in it and acts as the NVR itself without issues. I do not need any APs (doorbells are direct wired PoE), and I do not need a separate NVR.

I am currently using 2 of the G4 Pro doorbells. They are direct PoE to my UDM-Pro SE without any adapters. The recordings are stored locally and are private.

It’s worth noting that Microsoft offers enterprise/business variants of most solutions that are (more) private by design. This includes GitHub Copilot, Azure OpenAI GPT services, Bing Chat, M365 Copilot, etc.

It’s really a consumer’s decision when it comes to Microsoft. Either you use the basic/free version in exchange for your privacy, or you pay for a business account.

I’m not sure Google really offers that as equitably across their offerings. They seem more focused on driving their ad/data collection business rather than private, enterprise solutions (just my two cents).

Fun fact: Login spoofing like this is why, from Windows NT on, users have had to first enter a security context with Ctrl+Alt+Del.

This is briefly covered in a fun book, Exploding the Phone, chronicling the early years of the phreaking culture.
