Day 1 at #TechMentor is here and I’m kicking things off by diving into "Become Immediately Effective with PowerShell" with Steven Judd, Jason Helmick, and Sean Wheeler.

If you’re at TechMentor this week, I’d love to talk device management, PDQ, automation, and (of course) all things PowerShell.

I hear you... But then I would argue just use curl.exe ... What you're saying about PWSH is normal behavior for us. Give me more and let me decide what I want back. You don't HAVE to use PWSH to run curl... But I get your point.

It's actually not; Invoke-WebRequest is just more verbose, meaning it's gives you MORE detail in the default output. With a simple addition of just returning the content, you get the exact same output. #PowerShell

Why?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey #PowerShell friends! Just wanted to say... I haven;t felt like being my usual social media self for ... like a while now.. but that seems to be changing... so for better or worse.. get ready for more of me soon... 😜

You missed nothing with the #tyson fight except for father time showing up as expected... Age is a bitch #netflix

Hope is a powerful drug. Reality is a buzz killer...

So how would I describe the fight #tyson fight?

You missed out on an amazing fight between the women. Absolute brawl!

I really do feel for the #netflix engineers, but it just feels like this whole broadcast has been a hot mess. This is just not enjoyable when every 2 minutes is a buffer issue. You can literally tell when the action is getting ready to start and when people return to the feed... #tyson

Attempting to watch the #netflix #tyson broadcast...

So many issues... Buffering, crappy analysts, mics dropping out... Not a premium experience ...

That looks miserable. 40's and rain is literally the weather I hate the most....

Hey @deadlydog.bsky.social ... I set you a dm. Not sure how well you get notified on Blue sky, so I wanted to make sure you were aware...

My wife said tonight that she has seen enough of snoop dogg and Patrick Mahomes...

Not sure why you're coming with the heat... It's a language and it has a purpose... If you think python is better... You're free to think that... But PowerShell is by far the best choice for the Microsoft ecosystem. Also comp sci programs are basically devoid of any infra and cloud education ...

are you saying PowerShell scripts aren't a legitimate solution or are you referring to the windows activation process?

i have it enabled through built fingerprint reader in my Dell laptop. However, i use facial recognition via Windows Hello daily. mostly a postive experience.

I don't miss isa slots and dip switches or having to change the boot order to boot off a floppy... Good riddance
