Teams is second best in two major product categories and does a solid job of tying those features together into a cohesive whole.

Yes, Zoom has better video conferencing, chat its chat is poo poo.

Yes, slack has better chat but poo poo video.

Neither does file sharing and collaboration as well as teams, and as bad as it is, teams has way better data management than either.

I opened a ticket to get internet access added to one of our servers, and it be placed in the SSL Bypass group (because they didn't setup their SSL inspection quite right)

Denied.

I provided examples of a ticket last month where we did the same thing for 3 other servers after I spoke with the SECURITY TEAM and showed them what was happening

Approved

BTW BOB WE NEED A SCREENSHOT OF THE ANTIVIRUS CLIENT ON THAT MACHINE

It's Linux bitch we don't have AV on those

SORRY

Anyway, I figured out that I went about this the wrong way - our datacenter team can give our servers internet access. So it's best to just ask them and we don't have to deal with the network and security folks.

Then some super helpful person replied to my ticket. "Have you installed the ssl certificates in the special way for your application?" (https://help.zscaler.com/zia/adding-custom-certificate-application-specific-trusted-store)

Did you look at any of the logs or screenshots in the ticket or the other tickets that are linked? Jesus christ.

EU is likely to finally ratify the maligned DMA act, along with DSA( https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news...ine-environment ). The first is to let anyone get in into every core service from apple/google/facebook/whatever it counts as big tech, meaning that theoretically steam/apple app store/etc. cannot no longer hold their monopolies. DSA is something i've never heard until now, it makes every law concerning sale of real products and services apply to the web, meaning that if any weird law from the last century blocking whatever applies to your web firm, you are hosed and you need it to kill it yesterday.

Why it pisses me off? Because one of the doom scenarios is that ios must allow third party stores, and it's going to be a malware infestation to every parent/grandparent you made switch to iphones, cause they will click on every pop up and install whatever they push via banner/notification.

The worst thing about this kind of article is that when you ask how exactly a quantum computer will break encryption they go "because quantum", and if you really push them they'll mutter something about it being faster.

At no point does anyone sit down and think what threat model your organisation has to have where you are worrying about quantum computer owning attackers and how few of that ~50 entities give a poo poo about your webstore selling cat t-shirts.

The main thrust is that there WILL BE a quantum computer that can do such a thing because math, and the kind of math those computers seem to be good at, at least theoretically. And eventually, they will be cheap and easy to acquire, as with all computing technology. If we start working on a successor to PKI then, it will be way too late. So, instead, lets do it now so that when it does happen, we at least have something to work with.

The real problem is that if there is a flaw in the algo, NSA has like a 50/50 shot of not telling anyone until its too late.

Because once they pop the key you used, everything you ever did that they were able to packet capture is now trivially readable? Making the standard and pushing people to it now means that in 15 years when quantum computers are expensive commodity hardware instead of bespoke fiddly research tools, most of the interesting-enough-to-hack parties are no longer using vulnerable crypto.

Now I wonder how long it would take one of the cutting edge quantum computers to break the wallet key for Satoshi's Bitcoin Hoard.

Well they're claiming that they've got one and it'll be released in two years, and either it works fine or the NSA have backdoored it, but either way this is basically just pointless scaremongering because any organisation that needs to care should just be plugging a new library into their existing suites and deprecating known weak suites as they're broken.

The first part is just what happens when any key gets popped and the party that popped it has captures. I've been hearing this same story of it being "any minute now" for almost 20 years, plus people are still using DES for TLS and the world hasn't ended.

Another day, another Marketing person demanding I make a change ASAP that turns out to be for something his department doesn't own that causes a production outage.

He went straight under that bus, you run an ASAP demand up the chain that causes an outage because you don't know what you're doing, you get to answer questions about it. Thankfully I was able to revert the change within 3 minutes of hearing about the outage since I had the original state saved in case it didn't work.

You probably meant this as a joke, but it's extremely misleading. Quantum computers aren't faster than regular computers in a general sense. Instead, there are certain algorithms that can only run on a quantum computer that are more computationally efficient than the best algorithms for a conventional computer. The opposite is true, as well. Certain encryption methods just happen to be vulnerable to some of those algorithms.
