I was born in the UK. Piss is a synonym for crap beer. Make of that what you will! Obviously: shite will normally stand in for crap.
Pissed is easily the most commonly uttered euphemism for being tired and emotional in the UK. A celtic fringe variant is: "pished".
Win 3 used FAT as a file system. Modern Windows (for want of a better word) uses NTFS and ReFS. I wont bore you with FAT16 vs FAT32 and vFAT and all that shite.
I wasted hours/days/weeks etc fiddling with himem.sys and autoexec.bat. I had a boot disc featured on Novell's Cool Solutions, which managed to get a network up and running etc. Memory management back in the day, mandated by MS was wank - really wank. That was Windows 3.x and frankly Win 95 and on wasn't much better.
As a British TV license payer, I don't have too many issues with CNET's brief fixation with VPNs. This particular content has already been paid for (financed) by the BBC via license fees and presumably a hefty input from Disney+. Dr Who seems to the preserve of BBC Wales, despite the number of Scots who have been doctors. Who knows how that all works!
Anyway, its probably fully funded from the get go and all subsequent income is mostly profit. A few folks from around the world might work out how to stream the BBC iPlayer by using a VPN that makes them look local. Those people will probably be vocal (socials). D+ will pick off a few extra subs and that will feed back.
I have no access to the actual financials for this but given that Dr Who is such an iconic brand, I doubt that my license fee is being abused by a few VPNs.
Many people seem to think that OD is a backup mechanism - not it isn't. Yes you do get shadow copies sort of doing that but it really isn't a proper backup scheme. A single NAS drive isn't much of a backup scheme either. Both combined will do the trick. Probably.
It depends on how important your data is and you mention "admins" so not a mom n pop business as they say out west. Your hidden bonus is shadow copies.
Here are two full sets of notes, recently presented at this years Black Hat conference:

Both of these particular flaws have been mostly mitigated but there will be more. If you put all your files in one shaky cloud that keeps on changing, you may be fine
Keep making traditional backups, ie away from anything OC related and you may be very glad of it. I spend a lot of my time trying to remove any unwanted excitement from my customer's IT experience.
Please.
"We remain deeply committed to Assistant and we are optimistic about its bright future ahead,"
They say that about all their products right up until it is taken around the back and a single shot is heard.
"it has a global user base of more than 200,000 organizations, with more than 5,000 paying customers"
1 in 40 customers pay. That doesn't sound like a decent value prop. for the 5000.
Dreadfully sorry: Nurse, NUUUURSE my dried frog pills have started dancing around my head
I suspect that JumpCloud were doing the usual "move fast and break things" style of development and forgot to have a proper security team on hand. It is easy to forget to invest in an expensive nicety that costs money. I suspect that should they have managed unicorn or whatever status floated their boats then a few inconvenient gaps would have been coloured in. The language of the "apology" says otherwise but I call bull
The cool kids in IT always do this and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't. I'd love to read their IRP and if the threat was considered sophisticated, that generally implies that you are unsophisticated.
It was a phishing thing and probably went like this: OK *click*. Windows updates not applied for six months, AV a couple of months behind due to a DNS misconfig by a well meaning techie trying to fix a weird wifi issue or the AV license running out. emails from AV vendor to an unwatched mailbox (they left a month ago). Audits on hold for a while due to temporary overtime ban .
"Continued analysis uncovered the attack vector" - this means we worked out who clicked on something they shouldn't. The pseudo military language is wankery.
I have been exclusively using Linux on my gear - at work and at home. So does my wife, but she doesn't care, provided it works.
I generally use customer cast offs for work. I've had my current work PC for at least three years and it was deemed too slow by the previous owner. I do light CAD work on it as well as the usual IT stuff. All I added was a very elderly Nvidia card to get two video outputs.
I run Arch (actually) these days. I use Evolution for Exchange access and Libreoffice for the usual stuff. I personally create the most complex office docs and MS Office seems to cope OK.
It can work both ways: July 2020 in Yeovil a fire in the phone exchange took out all power for part of the town for a good 10 hours as well as the POTS. Mobile service was OK

Well that's quite surreal.
I am British and I had no idea that our little country is famed for its merry go rounds or "mrygrends" as we've called them since the 13th century. Henry III used to ride one into battle or something. The endless circling of what he called his destrier caused the opposing army to piss themselves with laughter, making them an easy pushover.
I'm off to polish my monocle and spank something.
"So, just how bad is the air in the UK?"
This little girl lived in London. The air in any large city is often rather polluted. Funnily enough the river Thames is now a poster child of cleanliness, given the sewer it once was. The city does have a sort of a plan to improve air quality. London Plane trees are apparently the best tree to combat pollution and London is also able to describe itself as a forest or some similar nonsense.
Mix nine million people and the ICE into a small area and you get rubbish air quality.
Your point is what? I'm nearly fifty years old. I think I am capable of dealing with concepts that are a few years older than me.
My house has 1632 written on it and that is not its street number. It is one of the newer buildings in this village. To be fair, the thatch might have been replaced a few times and the cob patched up a bit.
Kids.
Both of you are right and wrong. (kids etc)
Why don't we all focus on securing our systems and those of our nearest and dearest, if we have the skills.
I have an awful lot of of equipment running on my home and work and my customer's networks that might be considered a bit IoT. However those devices such as cameras etc are on their own VLANs. At home I have two IoT VLANS: THINGS and SEWER. Sewer is for those devices I am really, really scared of!
No doubt my firewalls may have some snags somewhere but I do not allow access to the GUI from just anywhere. I generally allow a minimal access except for icmp echo request and a few other icmp things that are handy. You can ping me and DOS me but you probably wont get in.
Must work on that probably thing
"But the anecdotes are just that -- stories without evidence of reinfections, according to nearly a dozen experts who study viruses. "I haven't heard of a case where it's been truly unambiguously demonstrated," said Marc Lipsitch"
So anecdotes are being refuted by anecdotes.
Actually I personally find that mainstream reporting is absolutely rubbish. I find myself shouting at the TV screen (only slightly incoherently) when Laura from the BBC and that bloke from Sky et al try to question our (UK) politicians.
In the UK, there is a spot in the daily briefing (or there was) when us proles could ask a question before the professional reporters got stuck in. The questions from the public were generally short and to the point and got a sensible answer back from a scientist or govt minister.
Then the pros dive in. They waffle for ages and are lazy. The classic start is: "Do you believe
It really gets on my tits: Mainstream journalists are so lazy and seemingly incapable of original thought.
In every non-trivial program there is at least one bug.
