  • This is really niche, but most organisations have a Microsoft Active Directory, or equivalent, that tracks users, their credentials, and their permissions. The sign of a bad AD admin: permissions directly applied to user objects without any intermediary objects or abstraction in AD.

  • I feel like this headline is like The Onions' "No Way To Prevent This"; they can just keep on reusing it.

  • "Federation" is like "non-fungible token". Everyone knows what it is, but they've never heard it called that.

  • Yeah, I suspect that's probably true. The prescribed maintenance routine on my VW suddenly got very, very lax after 250,000 miles.

  • The secret to keeping water hot is minimising surface area and, of course, insulation. If you want instant hot water you can actually buy electric hot water tanks with, say, 10-15L capacities that go under the sink so the hot water only needs to travel the 50cm or so. Very cheap and much more simple than instant heaters.

  • ..."Outside Pants"? I feel like this might be the real tip here. Please, explain.

  • You should invest. Nothing gets you dry better than a good Batman.

  • Get schwifty.

  • Maybe, but also relevant.

  • Thirty seconds of thrash drumming, wailing feedback and distorted guitar shredding, followed by Tall and tan and young and lovely...

  • For locked-down devices, they'll be running LTSC or LTSB editions (Long-Term Support Channel/Branch), or Windows Embedded, which are simplified and heavily customisable versions of Windows. For general-purpose devices, they'll be using Pro or Enterprise versions of Windows which, crucially, support Group Policy. Using GP it is very, very easy for a single admin to configure an arbitrarily large number of Windows machines to work exactly how they want them to work, including configuration options that aren't otherwise exposed to the end user in any way.

    Edit: just to add: the lack of an equivalent of Group Policy is what is preventing Linux becoming widespread in businesses. If you think you know of a service for Linux that works like Group Policy, then you don't know Group Policy.
