Snowboard commentators really do talk absolutely crap. "The young Australian has done a big double backside injured penguin with a tail flip and a neon walrus grab there. Beautiful."

"To become a great manager, you need to have people skills and not just technical knowledge", they said.

Looks like it's time for the annual "Who can stop England winning the Grand Slam?" tedium. The only thing more boring than this is the 4-yearly "Who can stop England winning the World Cup?" routine. I would wish the wooden spoon on England but I think that's heading back to Wales.

Any Microsoft Defender for Endpoint experts here? First off the device-based timeline logging is unbelievably good, but...is there a way to view more than 7 days of data at a time once you go back more than 30 days? Searching for notepad++ activity (obviously), but once I go earlier than 30 days...

Phew. There's a high profile NDR out there - won't mention names but they harp on about partnering with McLaren - and as of 2 months time I'll be able to stop using them. Which is good, because I think they're effectively snake oil. Really, really expensive snake oil.
