I feel there’s gotta be a way for the sysadmins to disable emoji reactions to company wide emails coming from the boss but they’re probably like nah, let them cook.

fundamentally I don't believe this is an OS security issue. These devices should be on a segregated internal network with very restricted access. Even sysadmins shouldn't be able to just browse to these from their laptops without extra hoops

I'm pretty understanding with new sysadmins, but locking the time on a remote workers laptop is bad, and locking it to the WRONG minutes, not even just the wrong hour, should be fireable offense. Maybe 1 warning in a career. Maybe.

Thank you! Can we send cookies to the sysadmins? If so, where do we send them and do they prefer chocolate or raisins or what?

if your country don't have competent sysadmins/devops who can setup vpn already, is it really sovereign?
I believe we are entering an era very similar to the nuclear race: if your country doesn't have a swarm of AI agents running on national hardware to defend and counterattack, is it really sovereign?
Cyberattack on France’s national blood service (EFS) via its refrigeration contractor Coolworld. Hackers reset freezers keeping blood donor samples at -30°C to a target of 110°C. The thing that stopped it from destructive impact was an on-call technician who noticed the temperatures going up.

I haven’t pushed my code out though because there are some other engineers who have spent the same 6 weeks “vibe refactoring” with Copilot and some tool called Enterprise Architect that I don’t have access to yet because the sysadmins haven’t set up a shared server for it yet. Vibe. Refactoring.

‼️ Because of a RCE flaw in MS Paint Microsoft has shipped a new version of it. The flaw lets hackers take over a Windows PC without a single click.
It first patched the bug on 13 October. But sysadmins found the Microsoft Store kept handing out an older, vulnerable version of the drawing app.

Sysadmins and their managers presently priced out of ageing equipment replacement fervently hoping - but will equipment makers pass on the savings…?
nature won't start healing until I see those consumer RAM and hard drive prices falling
Nvidia, Micron, AMD, Intel, SanDisk, TSM, Qualcomm and Marvell all fell sharply on the second day of the chipmaker selloff.
