HPE? The only thing EDS has ever known how to do is market (read 'blowjobs') to government and Fortune 500, while delivering absolute shit, late and over budget. They can't die quick enough.
EDS is part of DXC since March, but that division is getting spun off again next March....try to keep up.
HPE is basically DEC/Compaq as far as I can tell...they have server hardware, cloud, and some bits and pieces of software.
If you don't provide your employees better tools for a task, they're going to keep\start using something that's easier for them to use.
Update for the times we live in....If you don't provide your employees better tools for a task, they're going to just use Excel.
If someone came up with a phone that got an order of magnitude *more* of my behavioral, locational, and conversational data crunched by big services in order to leverage it all for customization/context/workflows, *that* is something I'd be interested in. Take my data. Make my life faster/better/more convenient.
I don't need someone to make secret the fact that I like show X and buy product Y and often drive to place Z. I need someone to spread the word to as many services as possible and help them to make use of this data to make my life better.
Is this sarcastic? How does all this crap make you life faster/better/more convenient? If anything, I think it has the opposite effect. We're inundated with data now to the point where the only way to truly focus on anything is to turn off the data feed. When you're "connected" you're multitasking all the time slowly accruing stress, and doing whatever you're trying to do not as well as you would if it was your singular focus.
If not sarcastic, then I'm genuinely interested in specific examples of how these help you out. The only use I've seen for any of these sorts of things is wholly marketing and revenue driven, i.e. "customer is within 1/2 mile of your restaurant, so send them a text with a 2-for-1 happy hour drink special in the hopes they stop what they're doing and go to your restaurant instead". The only application of these services where I found a benefit is with a group of friends at a large music festival where we could look at a map and see where the rest of the group was...except the cell towers were so saturated that it really didn't end up working that well.
I guess I see what point you are trying to make, I just don't think you are half as clever as you believe you are. Especially if you are comparing your programming job (I have never worked a an IT job that didn't have flexible hours) with say, a service industry job in the US.
But for the counterpart, as a software dev in the States.
You're also an anomaly. I know far many more people in IT who are working 60 hour weeks and drive an hour each way into the office, get 15 days paid vacation that doesn't roll over to the next year, and any sick time comes out of their 15 days of paid vacation.

That's interesting, so the kid who can only communicate through a sip & puff connected to a laptop is better off without a laptop in the classroom? Oh that's an exception? What about the kid with a processing speed deficit who performs their work 3 times faster on a laptop? Another exception? What about a well run classroom where the teachers is supervising what the children are doing, the same way as my teachers called me out when I was doodling at my desk instead of getting my work done?
Like most things involving humans, sweeping conclusionary statements about the educational process are myopic and ill advised, because educational methods should be shaped to the PEOPLE involved. What works for one teacher/student/class will not work for another teacher/student/class combination. That's why teachers are professionals, the same way as IT professionals are, they shape their approach to the situation at hand. (and before someone makes a disparaging remark about teachers, allow me to point out we all know IT people who should be in another profession too)

The study was done on college students, not children. Professors are not going to babysit the class and police what they are doing, and they shouldn't be. If you paid $5000 for a class, then you should probably just leave the laptop at home and take notes with a pen and paper.
So, their office basically looks like it is a basketball court with a few card tables thrown together. Not even some external monitors. No surprise that nobody shows up to that office. At least provide some proper desks and decent KVM setups with dual monitors.

I feel like I may already be too late though.
But the companies' (Endgame) blog pages has some actual concrete info. Reading over the site, much of what he talks about is already implemented, or at least there is software out there that companies can get (much of it open source). To quote his page Hunting on hosts:" running processes, active network connections, listening ports, artifacts in the file system, user logs, autoruns", using Yari, etc. BUT, at least this page isn't just "buy my product" but does give some tutorials / examples of how to use various free utilities (like Sysinternals, Yari with Powershell, Elasticsearch) and he even includes CLI examples. I'm bookmarking this and will read over it later when it's not 04:32 and I should be asleep instead of posting on Slashdot LOL.
Exactly. It is not a new concept at all and something I did as a sysadmin 10 years ago when I got bored. You don't need a product, you just need to pay attention and have the management support to spend some time doing it. In more security-evolved companies, everybody contributes x% of their time doing this.
Threat Hunting isn't exactly a new concept, it's been around for ages.
But it seems someone, somewhere decided it is going to be the new "hype-base" for magical next generation boxes.. because the previous hype (Threat Intelligence) is dying.
So yeah, cue 2-3 years of "you must hunt proactively with our products"-hype
Unfortuately, you had to go through 3/4 of the article before he even got to what he was talking about. I was pretty disappointed once I got there, although I was expecting it.
Maybe it is time to set up an on-prem cloud-based hunt team solution?
Feed a lot of it to your grandpa who has arteriosclerosis and an unexpected windfall will be coming your way!
That's also been debunked. Meat and fat don't cause problems; a high carb diet is far worse. So to carry out your plan, feed him pancakes with plenty of syrup.
Everything has been debunked. Eat whatever the hell you want.
Ok, I know it's really silly to draw analogies between using ancient laptops and the team performance. I just want to mention here that since 2013 season McLaren has been been a shadow of its former self.
McLaren finished the 2012 season arguably with the fastest car on the grid, but for the 2013 season they abandoned the 2012 design and started with something entirely new. The 2013 performance was so bad, that there were voices calling for McLaren to go back to its 2012 design. Then 2014 season was even worse. McLaren was basically a mid-field team. They switched to Honda engines in 2015, and amazingly finished a season without scoring a point. In 2016, based on their performance, I'd say McLaren is barely a mid-field team.
They don't use the Compaq laptops for their Formula 1 program, they use them to service McLaren F1s...you know, the supercars from the 90s.
I know...I actually clicked on the article and read it instead of just jumping to conclusions like everybody else commenting. The McLaren F1 is from 1996, and they do not make them anymore. It would make sense that these cars, state of the art at the time, require legacy computing hardware to keep running.
I thought K5 died at least 5 years ago.
Not sure when I started following Slashdot but it was back when your had a numerical karma score and it was a game to try to get it as high as possible. My Ars Technica account was created April of '99, so Slashdot would have been around the same time. I was quite familiar with Kuro5hin (pronounced like "Corrosion," for those not familiar with it, a sort of play on the name of Rusty, who was to Kuro5hin what Cmdr Taco was to
I learned more than I ever thought I would know about bee keeping from kuro5hin.
