  • iPhone still can't report the RSSI of a wireless network. Until they make that work, anyone who works in it/tech has to carry a different device to test wireless networks.

    The wireless hardware is in the phone. Just let me use it.

  • You can fit two cars there
  • Fr, I would call every single one of those a "crossover" before I called them station wagons.

    That Volvo v60 is the closest thing to a modern station wagon. If it doesn't have 3 big side windows from front to back, it shouldn't be called a station wagon.

  • What Router can you recommend?
  • +1 for Mikrotik.

    Get one of their routers that have an Arm or x86 processor and you can run PiHole and a DDNS updater on there as containers. Wireguard support (client and server) is built in.

    Even their cheapest hardware that runs routerOS has access to all the same features as their enterprise level gear.

  • US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users
  • The directed scope of the bill is going to do the same thing to TikTok that legislation did to Juul.

    If you target Juul with legal repercussions for all their flavored vapes, then only Juul stops selling flavored pods. Now a million other disposable vape companies fill the void with flavored vapes that are worse for the ecosystem.

    Targeting TikTok will just lead to another foreign data-harvesting social media app popping up to fill its place.

  • How Hackers Dox Doctors to Order Mountains of Oxy and Adderall
  • I don't think these two are related.

    Change Healthcare (company who handles most electronic prescription platforms) had a ransomware attack a couple weeks ago that took down their entire infrastructure for multiple days.

    Doctors and pharmacies were likely using paper scripts because the entire electronic prescription platform was shutdown.

  • A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us.
  • State vehicle registration where I'm at is based on vehicle weight. Costs about $400 to renew the registration on my daily driver and $600 to renew for a larger truck. Motorcycles are only like $80 to renew.

    Consumers are being taxed more for larger vehicles, it's the manufacturers trying to avoid safety regulations that are seeing the cost benefits.

  • Could be a student or military or live in an apartment.

    Not sure any of those establishments are going to be thrilled with you running an extension cable across the parking lot or sidewalk to charge your car.

    Also pretty sure they meant their family lives outside of the range of a single EV charge and there's no charging infrastructure on the way. What would be an 8 hour drive to visit family for the holidays turns into a multi-day trip with a stay at a motel/hotel to wait for your car to charge.

  • How responsive is your Nextcloud?
  • Spent a full day setting up Nextcloud so I could file sync my machines and share files externally. It was slow as hell and didn't work half the time.

    Spent 10 minutes spinning up Syncthing and FileBrowser containers and have had zero issues with them since.

  • Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?
  • Yup. Our RMM tools work best on Windows machines. Honestly, Linux is fine too, but MacOS is the worst to manage.

    If anything needs to be modified/deployed on MacOS, I have to create a new PPPC and deploy it through Intune/Jamf/Addigy, otherwise you can guarantee the end user won't accept the correct security prompts and things won't work.

  • Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees
  • Microsoft Roblox ripped off Discord and branded it as Guilded GG. Features-wise for audio and game streaming, they offer higher quality than Discord for free.

    Is there any chance you'll get your group of friends to move to "MS Teams for gamers"? anything other than Discord? No chance.

    Edited: Correction that Guilded is owned by Roblox, not MS.

  • Recursive authentication
  • This is specifically an issue with corporate M365 accounts when a user tries to migrate to a new phone without access to the old phone where the authenticator was setup.

    Personal MS accounts can backup their auth secret keys to cloud storage, and when signing in on a new device, it authenticates you with your cloud storage (Google/Apple) and properly restores your MS Authenticator app.

    The issue is that while MS says you can backup your corporate M365 accounts in MS Authenticator, it doesnt actually store the secret key, so it's useless.

    Have your administrator enable TAP (Temporary Access Passwords) on the tenant. Then an M365 admin can create a TAP for your account that lets you login without a password/2FA. You can use the TAP to login and rejoin MS Authenticator app. The TAP expires in 1 hour by default.

  • Recursive authentication
  • ^ Your M365 admin needs to know where to manage the specific authentication methods and be sure to disable MS auth rollouts. By default right now, authentication rollouts are enabled on all tenants with P1 licensing or above, and it only supports the MS Authenticator app.

    Once that rollout is disabled, the authentication methods your admin has made available to you will actually work properly.

  • How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare?
  • The Oracle Cloud VPS only has SSH key authentication enabled by default. You can also set it to only allow SSH from your home IP in the virtual firewall before the machine is ever spun up.

    Their current free ARM offering is 1 machine with 4-cores and 24gb RAM for life. You can also add another 2 AMD machines with 1-core and 1gb RAM and still be in their free-tier.

    If you're going to set it up and take advantage of the ARM machine, make sure you pick a home location for your account that has multiple availability zones. San Fran right now only has 1 zone, so if the shared ARM instances are all used up, you'll have to wait a few days and try again. Phoenix I think has 3, so you can try with another zone right away.
