IDK what I did to anger the aviation deity’s but every time i fly out of Detroit lately it’s either gate 68 or gate 2.
At least I haven’t angered them to sending me to the B or C side yet.
Hello Water Temple, my old friend
I've come to drain your floors again
Because the iron boots need switching
On, off, on, off, menu glitching
And the key I need is three floors down below
I'll never know…

It’s been a wild ride to see and help with some of the behind the scenes to build this.

In honor of #Microsoft deprecating WDS and in the SAME post saying "Use Configuration Manager" it seemed reasonable to give isconfigmgrdead a long overdue update.
Updated the theme added a submission flow. More... to come?

I’m just going to leave this here… it’s an oldy but a goody that has stood the test of time.

10% of computers in your EUC environment belong to Schrödinger and you can’t convince me otherwise.
Do they exist? Do they not? Who knows.

More iteration, more building.
Was fun learning about and setting up PocketID for auth. It's a nifty OIDC app, seems great for auth when you are testing that is #passwordless and doesn't require external providers or other infra.

Sometimes you just feel like making a thing.
Maybe someday I'll make it import recipes or something... IDK. #WeekendProject
This guy I work with wrote a really great blog on thinking about moving to Remote SUPs and when you should or shouldn't move. Also, sometimes, he runs far.

You know…. Some of this is satire but the painful part is all the little grains of truth in here.
Especially when you consider how many people work from home and the footprint of going after something like that at scale in people’s homes not just the corporate environment.
I got a Roomba added to our cybersecurity asset inventory.
This happened because Facilities bought one for the executive floor.
It was one of the expensive models with cameras, mapping, Wi-Fi, cloud connectivity, and enough sensors to perform a small military recon mission.
They connected it to the corporate network.
I noticed it during a device scan.
Unknown Linux endpoint.
A camera, microphone, constant outbound traffic.
I asked Facilities what it was.
They said:
“The vacuum.”
Security did not like this answer.
The CISO asked whether the device could map executive offices.
Yes.
Could it store images?
Probably.
Could the vendor remotely access it?
Technically.
Within an hour, the Roomba had been unplugged and placed in a conference room like a detained suspect.
Legal asked for the privacy policy.
Procurement asked for the vendor contract.
Security asked whether we could inspect the firmware.
Facilities just wanted the floor cleaned.
After two weeks of review, we approved it for use on an isolated IoT network with restricted outbound traffic.
It now has an asset tag, a quarterly access review, and a documented decommissioning procedure.
Last month it got stuck under the CFO's credenza and went offline.
Our monitoring platform opened an alert.
The ticket was assigned to me.
Severity:
Medium.
I walked upstairs and rescued it.
This is what digital transformation looks like.
