BitLocker requirements can be now managed by Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. You can now control what access to removable media will be allowed based on the BitLocker encryption status of the device.

This was a higly-requested feature that is now available in public preview! Read the details here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-defender-for-endpoint/get-more-device-control-flexibility-with-bitlocker-settings-in/ba-p/4175131

I'm always posting stuff about our puppers Zelda, so I figured I'd drop one of some of my old computer hardware that's kinda neat. This is a Syquest 3.5" 270MB removable cartridge drive from 1994! It's got a SCSI interface on the back, and built in power supply. It still works flawlessly, although at SCSI1 speeds, but ya know what, it's really fun to use and be able to store things on, even if just for novelty sake!
