Have particularly sensitive data on an external disk? If the disk is formatted as Apple File System (APFS), you can encrypt it in-place on macOS by focusing on it on the Desktop or Finder sidebar and choosing "Encrypt [disk name]" from the context menu (accessed by pressing VO-Shift-M). #TipTuesday https://www.applevis.com/podcasts/how-encrypt-external-disk-macos

Sysadmins/techs, if you or a user is having trouble logging into Gmail via classic Outlook, close the app and remove the credentials from Windows Credential Manager. You should then be prompted to sign in the next time you open Outlook, after which it should work as expected.

Got bored so created an audio overview of my AppleVis InfoSec guide using NotebookLM, and heard one of the AI hosts describe Accessory Security as a "digital condom for your USB port." That's honestly one of the best descriptions of that feature I've heard; couldn't have said it better myself.
