If Bitlocker and LAPS keys need to be searched manually per device or per user then my IntuneDeviceDetailGUI might help. You can search by devicename or by user and get Bitlocker and LAPS keys easily using my IntuneDeviceDetailsGUI tool. github.com/petripaavola/Intu… #CrowdStrike

You have just finished remediating your last machine impacted by #crowdStrike #bluescreen, but now you have no idea who can access all the BitLocker keys you just exported! 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐭𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐲𝐬! The full article along with device action reporting options (including getting all devices) > lnkd.in/e9iA4dWi ⚡ Luckily for you, if you are using Microsoft Intune and storing your BitLocker keys in Entra, you can use this super simple script to queue a key rotation job on each device. When the device next checks in, the key will be rotated! I have seen various iterations of this type of thing over the last 24 hours, all seem to use custom app registrations, secret keys and certificates. This is a one-off job you should run in the 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭, please don't necessarily open your org to additional risk! This is something I cover in my book "Microsoft Graph PowerShell for Administrators". #intune #entra #graph #bsod

After months of no blog posts, this week I became acquainted with Azure Devops, which gave me material enough for three blog posts! foxdeploy.com/blog/how-to-cr… #Azure #AzureDevops

I prefer to put my raw SQL statements in textboxes on the client side so customers can modify them directly and have more control.

This is a huge drop off, and also a sign of what can happen when a bad aspect of the user base is left to grow unchecked. I strove to be a nice person on Stack, because there were so many mean people who tore me down early in my career.
StackOverflow is laying off 28% of its workforce. This may be the first large layoff directly due to AI: > people asking ChatGPT instead of StackOverflow > usage & ad revenue declines > having to lay people off to stay profitable / survive
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This chart shows a significant drop in traffic before ChatGPT's release, November 30, 2022. StackOverflow has confirmed that inaccurate data regarding their website traffic is circulating online. This year, they have measured an average of ~5% less traffic compared to 2022: stackoverflow.blog/2023/08/08/ins…

About to beat Bloodstained, totally feels like a nice worthy entry to the 2D #Metroidvania genre. Great music too! Pretty stark to see how good it looks on pc versus Switch. Time for the #Switch2 for sure
