@lexrus It’s all fine and good till your 2 year old drops it in the toilet! It’s not IP rated… speaking from experience

@AlexPemOfficial @3YearLetterman People who claim the NHS doesn’t work anymore are people who haven’t used it in decades, last few times I’ve needed help I’ve been seen to quickly and efficiently without any issue. Plus not having to pay for things as simple as ambulances shouldn’t be taken for granted

@FrankChickens_ @chimpychimpy37 @fesshole The internet wasn’t invented till the early 1990s, and on line shopping not till the late 1990s….

Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving.

My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password.

He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad.

I looked at the device.

Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption.

I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network.

So I didn’t give him the password.

Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN.

I set up a captive portal.

I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps.

Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443.

He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load.

My sister screamed at me to "just let him play."

I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines.

We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving.

But we had a secure perimeter.

You’re welcome for the compliance.

@CanuckCreator Ditched windows years back, ever since more bloatware appeared. I tried Linux for a bit but found too many of my apps weren’t supported still (fusion 360 being main one). So went to macOS and haven’t looked back. IMO the Mac mini is the best machine on the market right now
