Yeah, the folks can look at... *checks notes* the exact same complaint I had about this six months ago when they pulled the same stunt.

You should be aware that if your company uses @billcom to pay your vendors, Bill dot com will proceed call those vendors, pretend to be doing so on your behalf, and attempt to sell them things.

Going to go out on a limb and say: zero customers interviewed said "yeah, I would love to have the zoom client also do email, calendaring, and host all the apps I screenshare" - it's a crazy product strategy. I guess they think they have to compete with teams on features?

Congratulations to Microsoft employees on your new four day workweek.
Oh, you can't take every Friday off? Why, that would imply that it's not "unlimited" so much as it is "a scam to not have to pay out unused PTO when you depart the company."
Quote Tweet
scoop: Microsoft employees are getting unlimited time off. Microsoft will no longer require US employees to formally record vacation later this month, and they're getting a payout for any unused days. Details here: theverge.com/2023/1/11/2355

I had to cancel my subscription for the most cardinal of sins: not letting me read the content after I logged in.
Pretty sad when the paywall remover extension works but *giving you actual cash money* does not.

1/ We recently had a case where a TA compromised an Azure Global Admin account.
The TA used the compromised account to spun up over 200 VMs to mine cryptos with it. The compromise was only noticed due to skyrocketing Azure costs.

As of today, every new object added to S3 is encrypted by default — with no change in pricing and with no change to performance.
S3 holds more than 280 trillion objects and averages over 100 million requests per second.

Even though I have been a huge proponent of serverless 1st archs to enable rapid dev of business value over the past 5ish years I no longer say serverless because it is a hijacked term with no meaning. We need a new approach to realise what serverless wanted to achieve
Quote Tweet
Replying to @LeeJamesGilmore
I have flipped on this but when I think deeply, the agile manifesto is more toxic overall than helpful. I honestly think we should stop basing our strategies on marketing terms that shift and define an architecture style but the name serverless is gone for that purpose

Thinking about that time I snarked to a reporter so effectively that some fact checker at the NYT had to call Oracle for comment on their founder being friendless and alone.

Perhaps, and I’m just speculating here, it’s unwise to trust your retirement planning to a company that tripped over its own corporate penis in its rush to lend money to someone who clearly stated that he wasn’t doing this to make any money.

If I worked in Marketing, I’d be putting out pieces for the next month about how my security works, how robust it is, well-audited, and the could not waterboard me into mentioning the term “LastPass,” despite the fact that every content piece hits their failings.

Marketing blunder by . The entire internet is (correctly) dunking on right now. Their move was to stay above the fray and not mention the competitor whatsoever; remove the references to the LP breach and it’s a stronger article.

LastPass breach gets worse and worse.
First: We were breached but no customer data was accessed
Next: Okay some customer data was accessed, but not password vaults.
Now: Customer password vaults were copied by the attacker but don't worry, it will be hard to crack your vault.
