The NSA kept 1 lecture in a vault for 40 years. In 2024 they released it. It's Grace Hopper explaining the future of computing in 1982. The channel that posted it: the National Security Agency's own YouTube. Hopper stands at a podium in Navy uniform, a captain, and talks to a room of NSA staff for 90 minutes across 2 reels. The title: "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People." She compares the computer industry to the early automotive one, all custom parts and no standards, and argues software will become the hard problem, not hardware. She was right by decades. She invented the first compiler and gave COBOL its shape. She kept a clock that ran backwards on her wall to prove rules can be questioned. The tapes were too degraded for normal release, so the agency restored them before posting. 40 years in an NSA archive. 90 minutes. Now free.

LinkedIn is now using everyone's content to train their AI tool -- they just auto opted everyone in. I recommend opting out now (AND that orgs put an end to auto opt-in, it's not cool) Opt out steps: Settings and Privacy > Data Privacy > Data for Generative AI Improvement (OFF)

Back in October of 2020, I tweeted that we were replacing 1E Nomad with BranchCache and LEDbat. This was not a trivial decision as I had worked at 1E for just over 10 years, including time as the PM...

Received the following notice: "Microsoft regularly reviews our MVP memberships based on several factors and we regret to inform you that you will not be renewed as a Microsoft MVP for this renewal cycle." Not sure what those factors are, just that I did not make the cut. 1/2

I found a vulnerability in #Azure allowing me to access Azure accounts of companies worth billions We all know vulnerabilities exist. This isn't an injection, XSS, or RCE. But the crazy thing about it? It took 2 hours to discover. 🤯 Here's the story of #AutoWarp👇 (1/10)
