I spent some time this week working on a script remediation to remove OneDrive photos from my orgs devices. I went to test it, and it reported a success without the need for remediation. I checked around, and it looks like Microsoft has started removing it from our devices. Not a sniff of any acknowledgement from them, though.
I think its intended to line up with the iOS and iPadOS naming scheme. They pooped out an update earlier this year to bring all three OS's up to the same version number as well.
I'll be the first to admit that it's reductive, but I can't help but think of this every time anyone brings up a single unified standard, no matter the technology.
I'm just here to satisfy my confirmation bias, but my question all along has been this: how does Meta simultaneously satisfy their claims of both E2EE and content moderation on WhatsApp? I can't say that I've done anything even close to a deep dive on the topic, but those two things seem mutually exclusive.
Requiring the use of their own app is only marginally better than not supporting it at all. I try to minimize the number of apps pn my phone, and banking apps are prime examples of a use case that can be completely fulfilled in a browser. Even if I used the app, I would prefer to be prompted for non-biomotric MFA each time I sign in anyway.
For the love of God, someone inform Citibank and Chase of this. My dinky little local credit union allows me to use TOTP, but Citi and Chase still only seem to support SMS.
I've had good luck with a couple Latitude 7280 laptops. Replaceable parts, with support for an NVMe drive. There's only one RAM slot, compared to the 7390 (I think), but a 16gb DDR4 SODIMM stick shouldn't be hard to find.
I dont see it mentioned here, but I went with a 75" Spectre earlier this year. I had a 40" Spectre that was given to me third- hand, and I only replaced it because it was too small for the new place I moved into. Spectre doesn't seem to even offer smart TV, and I wanted to support that decision. The only potential downside that you may see is the lack of a 4k offering, but that wasn't something I care about.
This is great! Now to figure out how to do this by policy. I've been banging my head into so many walls during the past 2 days, trying to figure out if Mozilla has an .admx that will allow me to turn this off for devices via CSP, or via custom OMA-URI.
To add onto the phone section: (1) Disable any biometric authentication, and (2) turn/keep it off whenever there's a chance that it will be siezed.
While the first amendment protects you from being required to give up your phone's pass code, there's no protection against someone just holding the phone up to your face or fingerprints to unlock it.
While your phone is never totally impenetrable, it is significantly harder to access in its BFU state (before first unlock). Most commercially available cracking tools will only work if the phone is in it's AFU state (after first unlock).
Absolutely true. I have a paid VPN service that hardly gets used, but I call home with Wireguard multiple times a day (usually not for the encryption, though). Most basic home routers include a VPN feature as well, and it doesn't require much technical ability to configure beyond a quick web search for the router model and what the hell DDNS means.
This is the reason to use a VPN. Not to protect your identity, or to watch region-locked content, but to remove the need to blindly trust developers to always use best practice, and/or blindly trust the strangers that you share public networks with.

It came out of retirement for the last election.

I found this, but I'm still working out the oma-uri stuff. Very much not my forte, but maybe this will help you.

This is the excellent news that I was lacking this morning.
Spectre makes a line of dumb TVs, but I don't think any of them are 4k. I spent about $600 on a 75" 1080p model last year.
Also disable biometric unlock methods. No rules against holding someone's phone up to their face while they're handcuffed.

I just tried this, and it looks like it defaulted to Google maps. I'm guilty of having that set as my default at the moment, is that why?
Sideways T gang unite!
Maybe we should come up with a better name before we print the shirts.
