TechNo is a great name, I'm surprised it wasn't a Venture Bros invention or something.

If you fail a phishing test because you clicked on “sign in with Microsoft 365” or whatever and it was a legit Entra app rather than a fake login page, then it’s the fault of your company for not operating an allowlist of sites that can use that Graph login API thing.

You get into potentially janky situations where someone's SSO functionality is able to be loaded in a frame or whatever and someone could hypothetically get you to authenticate them into their email while presenting a "you don't have access to this resource" message or whatever, but also... yeah. Check what your users are trying to SSO into, and check where they are trying to SSO into it from. Worst case scenario you have lost a time-locked access token that expired before the user even realised the login failed.

Reasonably sure this hasn't been posted in this thread. But I found this somewhat experimental system to help dilute the effectiveness of fake M365 logins that harvest your credentials. I found it on a sensationalized YouTube video, as is the norm these days, but it kind of works okay despite the effects and energy of the YouTuber in the video: https://github.com/HuskyHacks/clarion

that's functionally using an email marketing tracking pixel in your o365 branding to see where logins come from and I'm a fan of the idea, very clever

I'm all for telling users not to do that just so they stop linking their personal Google or Microsoft accounts to the apps on their work PC. I know it's not the exact same thing the training's talking about, but break them of the habit everywhere.

Wait, they added "AI" to their bios chip so that it can help people...*checks notes* make changes to their bios?  Where would it keep its knowledge base? Is not like bios chips are known for their vast amounts of storage.

I looked it up and it’s seemed like it was a real announcement some company made but without any actual proof it’s a real thing they’re doing. I just really want to hear any kind of specific example of how they think someone would use that though. Like even ignoring practical safety issues of it messing up your settings, who is there person who thinks “I want to change something in my BIOS… I’m having a hard time thinking of what exact changes I want to make though, getting some writer’s block there… maybe ChatGPT can help me”? That is a use case for approximately zero people.

Nah, it's a use case for "me, but like twenty years ago when trying to add more PATA drives to my old Windows 98 machine". I bet this is just a bullshit product announcement for investors.

For the novelty I just asked ChatGPT "I want to change my bios settings, what should I change them to?" and it came out with:quote:Changing BIOS settings can significantly impact your computer's performance and stability. Before making any changes, it's important to understand what each setting does and why you might want to modify it. Here are some common BIOS settings you might consider adjusting and their typical purposes: It's all pretty milquetoast "Change this if you want, don't if you don't" and I can't imagine any sort of integrated "AI" would do much different.

It asked me what I was trying to do so I said "i want my computer to go fast" and it came up with thisquote:If your goal is to optimize your computer for better performance, here are some BIOS settings you can adjust to potentially improve speed: Nothing exciting.

I keep forgetting a lesson from my PC repair shop days, which is that when a customer says "hard drive" they might mean any of: a) an intenral or external storage device such as a hard disk drive or solid state drive b) the entire main chassis of a standard desktop PC c) anything vaguely rectangular in shape in any way relayed to techology that fits under a desk Today I had someone talking about a "hard drive" that turned out to be an UPS unit.

Don't forget 3.5" floppies as "Hard Disk" because of the hard plastic shell.

It’s actually kind of funny how much of a rip off the pricing of business desk phones is $436 for a basic desk phone $80 to make it wireless Another $80 for a license to be allowed to use it on your expensive phone system that you already bought.

Technically correct? WIFi adapters do convert analogue signals to digital and vice versa after all.

The signal is frequency-divided multiplexing half-duplex amplitude modulation, there's nothing analogue about it.

Just because the signal uses one fragment of the EM spectrum doesn't make the rest of it stop existing, so with this level of insane troll logic the user isn't 100% wrong.
