By what yardstick should we then measure the DoEd's performance-per-dollar, or determine whether it represents "waste"? Because it seems to me that a chief indicator that waste lik…

The arguments in this thread-- amounting to "it's a good general practice because I happen to like it" (rather than "it is a sane / discoverable / usable default") are precisely de…

And this guy gets to rescind his license for nonpayment.

Lawyers, doctors, engineers, IT practitioners, the film industry,... It's extremely common and has been for literally millenia.

If I can be so bold as to chime in, perhaps "fundamentally flawed" because it's design means it will never be more than a very clever BS engine. By design it is a stochastic token …

Many governments do have laws like this, called "sunshine laws". Enforcing them can be difficult though, and often enough they fail to achieve the transparency that is their goal w…

That's pure marketing fluff, just like the difference between antivirus and EDR. Heuristic detection has been a thing for literally decades, and cloud-based antivirus which uses ag…

Symbolic links and deltas are a thing. None of this is hard from a technology standpoint. Exchange just isn't the best designed or most modern software.

My recent discussions with multiple SAN vendors as well as quoting out cost to DIY storage has that number being far away from "reasonable". I do not claim storage is $5,000/TB but…

I'm showing Exos x20 20TBs for ~$500 new. $300 is moving towards refurb / shucked prices.

In what world is 2160TB $100k? Current single disk solutions are around $25/TB for HDDs and ~$100/TB for NVMe. At a minimum you're looking at $54k just for raw capacity-- assuming …
