@CarlowWeather Salt hill is wild but stunning.

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

Some lightning strikes out to the West as #StormFergus approaches but it will be afternoon and evening before he hits. Some very high seas expected so don’t park in coastal car parks that are liable to flood e.g Salthill!

@CarlowWeather Currently parked in Salt hill. Going in for dip soon before we head back to Cooley with Fergus at our backs. He should push us along nicely.

Every. Word. Of. This.

👏 @GeorgeMonbiot

Never heard an applause like this on #bbcqt either.

Congratulations to my colleague Tom Ray! An amazing achievement for Tom and indeed for Ireland.

Microsoft is changing the way we use a computer.

I've been using Windows Copilot for 2 months now, and it can do almost anything.

You can call it up at any time to use AI. That's a real advantage over ChatGPT.

Here are some great use cases 🧵

After watching this video, it appears that users will be required to scan a QR code to use a passkey stored on the phone. I hope the MDO team develops tech to detect malicious QR codes pretty quick as users who get comfortable scanning QR codes from personal devices are going to get owned. Current best practice is to train users to not scan QR codes since MDO doesn’t have ability to block malicious QR. so now we will have to untrain the users which will then hackers will exploit the confusion. It’s a tricky problem so I think a near field signal would be better than a QR scan.

Very cool! I somehow missed these sample scripts.

I also learned there's a Microsoft Mac Admins group. Might be useful when we can't find things on Jamf Nation or the Mac Admins Slack :p

ENTRA ID folks: Security Copilot makes the Life of Identity folks also easier. For eg Ask Security Copilot in the Entra ID Sign-In Logs "Why JaneDoe was prompted for MFA" and you'll get an answer in natural language from Security Copilot in a faster way: https://t.co/Y3bxt7fmaF

RIP Ben Dunne, who inspired one of the greatest Irish headlines ever:
Ben there, Dunne that, bought the Taoiseach 😂

"The cybersecurity reality we live in now is teenagers are running around in organized crime gangs with digital bazooka’s. They probably have a better asset inventory of your network than you, and they don’t have to wait 4 weeks for 38 people to approve a change request for patching 1 thing."

If you think that patching critical public facing infrastructure within 24hrs is not a realistic goal then tell me why!

Despite all the security awareness we have here in 2023, all the new fancy tools we have, and all the celebration of coordinated government take downs of threat actor groups, cybercrime gangs are still on the rise hitting more companies and making more money than ever this year.

You need to be able to identify and patch something like CitrixBleed within 24 hours — if you cannot, there is a very real possibility it isn’t the ideal product fit for your company due to the level of risk it poses, and you need to rethink if the architecture and look for a solution you can manage.

The LockBit ransomware group has assembled a strike team to breach banks, law firms and governments and I don't see this stopping anytime soon.

@CarlowWeather More data to play with. Yeah. Cheers buddy.

[Carlow Weather @CarlowWeather]

I got a smart meter recently and saw you can download a HDF file with the data so I had the idea of writing a script that could parse that and show the data in a useful manner. However I discovered that someone has already done this and done a really good job on it. The video explains how it works. In simple terms it uses the ESB smart meter data and shows a breakdown of how much data you are using and when and also recommends plans and estimates what each one would cost based on the data. The tool is available at https://t.co/nCF4I9xY3D easier to read on Laptop or Tablet or then your phone to Landscape.
