Making Minnesota the best state to raise a family means focusing on affordability and addressing barriers to owning a home.

We’ve made the largest investment in housing in state history and today, we rank as the top state for young homebuyers.

Before diving into splatting, it's key to review hash tables. They store key-value pairs, created with a variable, equal sign, and @ symbol. Learn how!

There's ALWAYS a video clip.
It's #DonaldTrumpsShutdown.

From RealTwitterAccounts community on Reddit etanthomas36 "He was killed on camera. No one's family deserves to have to witness that. It's unthinkably cruel that ppl would then go on the internet and use their platform to say about an innocent man "I don't care that he's dead" He's not a hero" "He's a scumbag" "He shouldn't be celebrated" I'm talking about George Floyd. You thought I was talking about Charlie Kirk ?No, those are actual quotes BY Charlie Kirk about George Floyd. Outrageous that anyone would say that of the dead, right?" ~ Erictastic

We love community tools for #MSIntune. Here's a latest one created by our friend and respected #ITpro, @sandyzeng.com, called IntuneDiff. Use it to compare Security Baselines and Settings Catalog policies.

It appears that PACER has been compromised by a Russian threat actor for some time. This is a very big deal for people who have submitted sealed documents in federal court whose threat model includes RU.

I've been working on a set of solutions around excluding emergency access accounts from CA policies to showcase when/why to use certain methods

I just pushed the first option, Logic App using a sliding window, to my repo with a Deploy to Azure button :)

Republicans sure are pulling out all the stops to wield the government against Texas Democrats. Warrants, FBI, court processes. Not a second wasted. Goes to show that if they *wanted* to bring Epstein's clients to justice, they could. They just don't want to.

Working on automating #Intune policy promotion through deployment rings with #GitHubActions

Rather than sitting on this until done, sharing this rough draft #PowerShell script in case the policy evaluation logic helps others managing ring deployments. Use at your own risk! :)

Autopilot and the Security Policies (1 of 1 applied)

Who is interested in learning more about how the Enrollment Status Page is tracking the security policies during #WindowsAutopilot?

And... how we could manually add some ourselves?
