@timmitwiser Yeh. It has been like that for years. Stopped using it completely because it was next to impossible to just get listings that shipped from within the UK

@KelvinTegelaar Kelvin - thoroughly deserved on the extension of your MVP. You give so much to the wider community. You're a continuing inspiration and a good friend. I look forward to our next beer together!

@drewhack Love you Drew!

@managed_blog @microsoftgraph @MSIntune That’s great, Sean. Love the articles; thank you for the effort you consistently put in. It’s really appreciated.

For all my MSP related friends.... a different type of post today looking at the mentality of approach to security conversations. This is not about challenging people when they are wrong, more building a healthier environment for people to learn. https://t.co/b187Op8qdj

This is not just international retailers either. There are multiple IT security vendors who haven't even got this right. It's a huge problem.

Holiday shopping is projected to be record breaking this year so we thought we’d take a look at DMARC adoption trends among the top 100 international retailers. We found that 80% of them aren't protecting their domains at the highest level!

@GreyDuck Hope it works well for you, Karel. Ping me if you get stuck or have any questions!

Lots more things added to #cipp https://t.co/2yMk88HZoX over the past few evenings. We've also created a channel on the MSPGeek Slack called #cipp. You can see some of the things I've added in the last few evenings here https://t.co/FxZxjuGcH0 @KelvinTegelaar

@winadmins @Steven_Vital @KelvinTegelaar You're too kind! What Kelvin has put together here initially is extraordinary and shows what you can do when you put focus on something. I've just offered advice and little fixes before release. Can't wait to start pushing some of the things I have planned for it!

@ShellStationsUK This was Saturday the 25th not the Sunday.

[Gavin Stone @Gavsto]

@ShellStationsUK I am not sure why this evening your Shell Heyhouses forecourt in St. Annes decided to close 30 minutes early, despite there being fuel. He would not offer an explanation and I'm now left with zero diesel left in my car. Disappointed.

[Gavin Stone @Gavsto]

@GreyDuck I'm keeping a close eye on how ConnectWise are positioning themselves for the future. There's been years of chat, if not decades, now is the time to see some actual, tangible changes to all that feedback. Hopefully they deliver.

[Gavin Stone @Gavsto]

https://t.co/OyuW8s13Di - I put out this post today to explain why I've shifted from doing this work on ConnectWise. It's a shame, but now I can put that effort in to helping other MSPs with reporting without pinning themselves in to a particular RMM.

[Gavin Stone @Gavsto]

@DanielChronlund Thanks for sharing, Daniel. Always find this kind of thing helpful.

[Kelvin Tegelaar - MVP @KelvinTegelaar]

Everyone, these are the brilliant people that have tried their very best to stop the biggest ransomware attack in history. They deserve praise. DIVD is a voluntary organization. If you have something to spare, consider donating.

With the recent Kaseya hack I spent most of my Friday night thinking about how we can all collectively better secure our RMM tools. See here for my brain dump with tips https://t.co/76LDXC0qUZ

https://t.co/UiUiwGAKUX Really feel for any providers/clients impacted by this. Nightmare territory. #kaseya
