🚨NEW! 🧠🚧🕵️‍♀️ Shadow AI is today's IT Consumerization. When IT blocks AI tools, users find workarounds—often riskier ones.

My article explores why restrictions backfire. TLDR; Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.

This is a 256 BYTE, 8 inch floppy disk from 1987.

The 512GB Micro SD card taped to the center of it is equal to 2 BILLION of those floppies. Edge to edge, it's enough floppies to go to the moon. Stacked, you can reach the center of the earth.

Can't wait to look back at that card in 25 years! 😵‍💫

Welp 🤷‍♂️...this is a new one. I live in Omaha, and it wasn't snowing at all (not that that should have any effect on Apple Maps in the first place!)

Great post! It's easy to get swept up in all the emerging tech, but that doesn't mean we can take our eye off the ball with the basic stuff.
Lots of #cybersecurity talk about zero day threats, but the basics will drive identity security investments (AKA identity & access management) according to the Enterprise Strategy Group 2025 Technology Spending Intentions survey. www.techtarget.com/searchsecuri...

I spent 2 months switching from my Mac to a Dell XPS 13 w/ Snapdragon Elite, and I wrote about it.

Part 1: Windows on ARM is a big deal. It was (mostly) flawless, and the laptop was great bit.ly/4fP11oD

Part 2: The real challenge—switching from macOS to Windows. Spoiler: It’s hard. bit.ly/3BYIisG

It's that time of year when I'm reminded of the earliest #Citrix page on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, complete with all the modern flavor that a website from 1996 can pack in, like animated snowflakes, an animated snowman, and a visitor counter: web.archive.org/web/19961221...

One more #AEM thought from #TaniumConverge2024 - I think they're missing a piece when it comes to automated testing and validation of fixes. I think they also need to focus on app functionality with synthetic testing, like what #LoginVSI does.

There's actually a lot going on with #Tanium. They're tightly aligned with Microsoft, helping customers get more out of both Intune and Defender (so, E5 customers). With #AEM, they're giving people the tools to autonomously detect patches, identify machines that need these patches, and deploy them.

I'm going to look back in 10 years and see that my first post on BlueSky is about....

Tanium, and how at #TaniumConverge2024, they're all in on Autonomous Endpoint Management. Equally important, perhaps, is that they're also expanding their device support to include IoT and OT devices. Great stuff!
