Boot-Up (Intro…random topics)
  • Closet options
  • The new Outlook search doesn't work well with the Windows Clipboard
  • Buy yourself M365 features
  • Update on wattage distribution for Raspberry Pi NAS + 2 USB SSDs - 30w Anker brick - P(W) = I(A) × V(V)
  • EXO v2 Cmdlets are GA - "I can't believe this is GA. It has so many issues, uses global variables everywhere, and doesn't work on PowerShell 7"
  • Microsoft Print Service
  • Microsoft not selling facial recognition tech to law enforcement

    • It's-a me, MFArio!
    • Nintendo accounts breached
    • Let's explain why this is happening (tl;dr: enable MFA!)

      • State of the Zunion
      • Follow-up on Zune video converter - Anvsoft Any Video Converter has presets for converting to the correct video formats for Zune. Was  also able to get a working MediaCoder preset for the Zune 80 and Zune HD  at least.

        • Don't Go JSON Waterfalls - Running Windows Terminal as another user
        • GitHub Issue
        • I found a workaround for this by running the application as-is,  and then just modifying the JSON config file to include entries to spawn  PowerShell sessions as another user. Note that this will not get the  new session to run a new tab, rather, it will launch a new window. It  DOES work however as available drop-down options. Would be nice to see  this baked into the application where instead of opening a new window,  it will just open in-place as a new tab instead.

          • “Unplanned Outage” (Sponsor section - "Hope this Helps is helped by…")
          • Next Generation IoT
          • Google Home with Poop Mode
          • Apple's new outdoor expansion: GnomePod
          • Amazon Home Fire

            • Don't forget to wash your sox
            • What is sox auditing?
            • The Sarbanes Oxley Act

              • Configuring multiple managers of a single AD group
              • "Managed by" only lets you configure a single user as a manager, no groups.
              • Workaround via "write member" ACLs or Add-ADPermission
              • On the ACL, configure the principal, set it to "Allow" "This object only," ensuring only "write members" is checked.
