He stopped sending me pictures of his cosplay a few years ago so no idea where he ended up. E: shine on you crazy diamond. My favorite daf was him trying to purposely wreck his base model m3. He drained the oil as I recall to ensure it got totaled.

I have a Lenovo TB3 dock that I run 3 monitors off of all day long and I'm not sure if it even gets warm.

Presumably they picked a Thunderbolt chip that draws a lot of power (maybe they were keen to get something to market) and slapped a fan on to compensate. Not sure why they wouldn't go back and have another go when the chips matured though.

I still have a Win2K box in production. Can't do poo poo about it but mitigate things the best we can. Business people signed off on the risk all the way up the chain, just part of IT life I guess. Retired the last 2 NT4 systems about 2 years ago.

I have an entire facility with XP machines in operations because the equipment it is for requires a special PCI card, driver and software suite that really does not like to work outside of XP sp2 They have tons of spare parts to support it until the piece of equipment in question dies or is replaced. The whole thing is basically sandboxed off and is officially classed by us as not securable and vulnerable to anything that breaks that perimeter Manufacturing!

I long for teh day when I run into an NT4 box in production. I have a customer with a win2k box. Yes, they are in manufacturing, why do you ask? When I first met that client was interesting, I had just gotten the job and they were one of my first on-site visits at new company. Turns out their biggest customer is an old client of mine, was just kind of weird.

Yeah, our manufacturing plants have a bunch of old stuff I don't even know about . We have a specialty manufacturing IT group that handles most of that stuff. Custom PCI cards for special equipment, things like that. I know they scrounge ebay for certain parts to stockpile them in case something breaks.

Okay folks, I have a few AWS managed Ad deployements out there and I am looking for a MFA solution for these environments. Looks like its still limited radius, so anyone have any decent options? I would prefer to not have to spin up a EC2 just to have an agent running. Each of these environments are small (less than 50). Right now Microsoft authenticator seems like the best choice and that wrong somehow.

MS MFA gets up my rear end at work because their Linux solution is so half-assed (build a RADIUS to MFA gateway and configure all your Linux clients to require RADIUS authentication). It probably works, but it doesn't show well when we already have a bunch of Duo licenses and Duo has a proper plugable authentication module.

Yes that is the official textbook definition, but as you can tell from the replies there’s way too many devices reliant on EOL software because they are designed to run for decades and software simply isn’t designed like that. So the textbook definition means jack-poo poo in practice.

It has a very specific meaning in our world and I would only use the phrase in that context because doing otherwise would lead to confusion.

Even outside of security, the meaning has been pretty much accepted to be “no longer supported by the vendor and everything that entails ” Just because there are legitimate reasons to need to run a product past its end-of-life date doesn’t change the meaning of the term
