Stop guessing. Start discovering.

I demo'd a web portal years ago in front of a whole department, and didn't realize until I saw some faces change that the "users" report had some NSFW sample names still showing up. Good times.
Demo's are the best time to overlook embarrassing sample content.
TIL one of our clients had a dev sync a Git repo with en embedded OpenAI API key exposed and it was scraped in less than 5 mins and use to run up a $14k bill on token consumption. >> double check your repos > don't upload keys, tokens, creds, conn strings, etc. etc.
but the "free" state form value is different than the "included" state form value?
Professional expert master shao-lin temple floating in the air with eyes-closed tip of the day: Before making disparaging comments about a third-party product, make sure that vendor isn't on the Teams call. Unless you really don't like them.
Can anyone here explain this TaxAct math to me?
If Citrix burned down, fell over and sank to the bottom of the ocean on another planet, I wouldn't feel the slightest bit sad.
So my employer sent a phishing test email disguised as the usual m365 junk mail quarantine review mail. I learned to never again trust that. One less thing I'll be checking now

Nothing as exciting and fulfilling as a client asking me why Defender for Cloud recommendations show risk levels like "low" when every single detail item it contains shows risk level "high" and vice versa, for the 400th time. It's almost like nobody at the mother ship actually uses the product.
On today's episode of "Humans don't know wtf they're doing" - we have a sysadmin that decided to downsize a VM and reduce the data disk capacity. Which happens to be a DB server and guess what's on that data disk. Answer: A new career path.
I'm waiting to see if the usgov decides to take a more "active" involvement in them after this.
Your Sort-Object is not broken. Your data type is.
New PoshBytes covers:

DownDetector was sold for $1B ? That's insane. I can't their service being worth that much.
To whomever wrote the REST API for Solarwinds Service Desk, and decided not to include "queues" for incident assignments (explicitly) - I hope you get athlete's foot.
This packs a lot of brain grinding in 15 mins but pretty interesting to follow along. Okay, I tried at least. Still interesting even for a simpleton like me.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksiu...
@kAlvaro unfortunately, most shells add commands to the history _before_ they're executed, and PowerShell uses your raw history for "Predictions"
You can prevent most typos from being executed by pre-validating using:
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -key Enter -Function ValidateAndAcceptLine

That's why I posted that. Many PowerShell users on Linux are more familiar with Windows.
I don't have a Windows machine handy to verify the path on that platform, but it might be the same on MacOS as is on Linux. Someone confirm?
