PSA if it this helps people - if you want a full Microsoft 365 subscription, with E5, test data etc - that you can add Defender MDE on too - for free, head here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/dev-program#Subscription
It's really good, you can test all the MS Office and security technology for free, access Threat Analytics (normally paywalled) etc.
Don't want to link your fresh install of Windows 11 with a Microsoft account? (VM for test, reinstalled laptop or whatever)
Easy peasy! You have two options:
# First option: Provide locked Microsoft account (minimum hassle, requires internet)
When asked to provide a Microsoft account, use [email protected] and a random password. This account is locked, and Windows will error out, and tell you that.
You can then proceed to use any local only account.
# Second option: No internet trick (can also be used if you actually *don't* have internet)
Make sure there's no ethernet cable in the machine. Install like you'd normally do, right up to the point where it whines about internet connectivity requirement.
Press Shift-F10, and you get a command prompt. Enter this command:
OOBE\BYPASSNRO
Your installation will now restart, but at the network requirement part, theres a "I don't have internet" option. Click on that, and you can create a local only user.
Both tricks works for the latest Windows 11 22H2 too!
#offshore but not off the radar for cybersecurity:

"GAO is making one recommendation: BSEE should immediately develop and implement a strategy to address offshore infrastructure risks. Such a strategy should include an assessment and mitigation of risks; and identify objectives, roles, responsibilities, resources, and performance measures, among other things."
The report is light on technical detail but familiar theme of #operationaltechnology being no longer isolated. A couple of #incident #casestudies I wasn't familiar with.
This is the best post I've seen on deploying FIDO2 keys at scale in an enterprise. The insights on how analytics, automation and notification services are used are fantastic. #authentication #fido2 #azuread
So many discussions in #productmanagement could be eliminated if only #PMs did proper discovery and understood actual customer use cases and objectives.
Soooooo many.

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Profile Page Tips 🐘✨: About your profile page 👤 If you just arrived here, before following lots of people, it’s a good idea to complete your profile page. This will increase the chances of people following you back and finding your profile. 1. Write about who you are and/or what you like in your profile bio (you can use hashtags there so people can find you). It’s okay if it’s short, but write something 📝 2. Personalize your profile picture with something you like. Don’t just let the Mastodon default, it makes you look like an anonymous bot. And you are not a bot! (unless you are) 🤖 3. You can write an introduction about yourself in a toot (post) and use the hashtag “# introduction” (minus the space). You can pin this toot to your profile page so that it stays at the top. You don’t have to write it right away, but it can help people finding you and deciding to follow you #️⃣ 4. Post or boost a few toots that you like, so that your profile timeline isn’t completely empty :boost_ok: 5. Then, when your profile looks like a page that represents you, follow the people that interest you. Interact with them. Be kind 💚 Make friends! :ablobsmile: 6. Magic!✨ #TinyMastodonTip #Mastodon
