September 01, 2023Tech Musings + Outtakes - Part Two
Topics discussed:
Chinese intelligence hacked U.S. government emails in ‘significant’ breach
Over 2 dozen European and U.S. agencies were targeted
The hack is specifically Microsoft email accounts
Not only government accounts, but personal ones “associated” with the agencies
Affected unclassified systems
Microsoft has since patched the issue, but this is why security is important. Namely, don’t put sensitive information into easily compromised systems such as emails
Veeam to Integrate with the new Microsoft 365 Backup
M365 Backup OOB just runs within the MS ecosystem.
Introduce a new set of Backup APIs which vendors such as Veeam will be allowed to utilize.
Theoretically this will enhance existing protection capabilities.
No specifics yet, but maybe this will address issues VB365 has been plagued with over the years, such as constant API breakages and limitations like 1:1 Teams chats.
Upcoming Topics
NIST webinar
NIST blog

August 18, 2023Tech Musings + Outtakes - Part One
Topics discussed:
EU: Smartphones will need to have replaceable batteries by 2027
• All phones, including iPhones, released in the EU must have a battery the user can easily replace with no tools or expertise
• Phones will also need to become more recyclable as well as produced with a higher percentage of recycled materials
• This comes after several other “consumer friendly” laws, such as requiring Apple to replace lightning with USB C on future iPhones and warning them against limiting speeds of “uncertified” cables like they do today
Vivint security systems
• Buy it because it has ‘cool features’
• Cellular backup – admittedly pretty useful
A lawsuit claims Google has been ‘secretly stealing everything ever created and shared on the internet by hundreds of millions of Americans’ to train its AI
• If the product is free, you are the product
• This likely isn’t just Google
• This is also why many companies, such as Reddit and Twitter, claim to be charging for their API usage now instead of offering it for free
• Antitrust
