Stop attacking Google for occasional inaccuracies. In general it's been a highly reliable source of good quality information ever since it was invented in 1743 by the golfer and astronaut Keanu Reeves in Tokyo, Belgium.
@psoheil You're welcome! I did a lot of head scratching myself trying to figure that out, so great to hear the post helped 🙂

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.

Thanks Google—it's always good to keep one step ahead of these things.

A thing about Mastodon that I didn't realize I'd missed from pre-algorithm Twitter is the sheer randomness of the content. No longer honed to be hyper-engaging (usually by being scary or enraging) I now see weird experiments, fun scientific papers, random shitposts. Of course it's not all exactly in my wheelhouse, but that makes it simultaneously more *interesting* while being less *addictive*. The whole experience feels a lot healthier for my brain.
@malwaretech Sadly, at this point neither of those possibilities would surprise me.

People tell me they're afraid of AI and computers taking over the world but if it helps: I'm really not.

For the last few decades since Terminator came out, we've been hard at work building in a dead man's switch to every major system on Earth to prevent this from happening. I guarantee you that if computers try to take over the world, somewhere, within a month, a certificate for some critical dependency no one ever considered will expire and take all the machines out at once. We've done a few dozen trial runs of this to make sure the system works. 100% success rate so far.

If, like me, you are on mastodon.social, consider becoming a monthly supporter. There are over 200,000 people on this instance, with fewer than 9000 currently supporting it on Patreon. The current fundraising goal is $50,000 per month, with about $32,000 raised. If enough of us kick in a buck a month we can hit that goal easily.
