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/Intuโ€ฆ #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! ๐“๐ข๐ฆ๐ž ๐ญ๐จ ๐‘๐จ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐ญ๐‹๐จ๐œ๐ค๐ž๐ซ ๐ค๐ž๐ฒ๐ฌ! The full article along with device action reporting options (including getting all devices) > lnkd.in/e9iA4dWi โšก 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 ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ, please don't necessarily open your org to additional risk!

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

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/insโ€ฆ

When there are no "good solutions" to a problem, it usually means there aren't enough constraints being put on the problem. That can sometimes stop you from going in circles about various tradeoffs.

For only $999 you can both own a piece of history and help make history. A unique device that will be supported up until the executive in charge at google gets a promotion or deploys his golden parachute. You might even be able to show this as a skill on LinkedIn.

Just reviewed a web page making 55 fetch calls totaling 570k of JSON. This one page is 1.6 MB. Why 55 calls? Because each database table is exposed as an endpoint. The UI joins all the JSON together via the provided foreign keys. To be clear: Don't do this.

My twins were identified as BabyA and BabyB in the hospital paperwork, in the newborn ICU wall charts, and even in the hospital bill.

I donโ€™t understand why everyoneโ€™s saying that this rate is low; the cash comp is basically a rounding error compared to the value of giving you physical access to a casinoโ€™s core IT infrastructure.
The MGM Grand is looking to hire a Red Hat Linux System Admin willing to work 10 hours per day 7 days a week to completely rebuild its IT environment from the ground up and get the slot machines working again. (h/t @zero04013437)
