Your scale is not accurate… I had a digital scale that was similar, I could weigh myself, pick up a small object with a known weight, and it would read the same number, down to the tenth of a pound.

I replaced it with another scale that’s more accurate.

Legal Hold is easy in the Google Workspace using Google Vault and DLP is a native feature-set for Enterprise plans. Audit and investigation features are very thorough and we’ve used them extensively.

We do use an additional third-party endpoint DLP software with TLS inspection as well.

For financials, only the companies still in the dark ages depend on Excel rather than real ERP or accounting software.

Sheets handles pretty much all typical business needs, but we do run into issues if we’re collaborating with another company that is using macros or something in Excel.

There are absolutely large orgs in the Google and Apple ecosystems. My org, for example, doesn’t use Microsoft except for a smattering of Excel and Word subscriptions to deal with some customer documents that aren’t handled well by Google Docs and Google Sheets.

Worth noting that anyone can send an email to hr(at) opm(dot)gov to let them know what you did last week…

Frozen corn, by the handful…

Pneumonia is just a symptom of any number of things including covid, the flu, or a bad cold. Basically, any infection that spreads to the lungs.

Now I have a layer of ash, what now?

This guy went to kill his ex-boss and ex-coworkers… Don’t know if the 2 migrants were collateral damage or a secondary target.

China doesn’t have a free market and does not allow US-based social media in the country. Why should the US allow China to operate in the US without reciprocity?

This is definitely a warning on AI use for decision-making… BrandShield’s AI identified and reported the issue using AI. Apparently IWantMyName also used an automated process to disable the site. Linode had a human in the mix and did the right thing.

Ultimately, this did more damage to the Funko brand, which is the opposite of what you want from a brand protection platform. I’d expect this to ripple through both BrandShield and Funko as to how they handle these cases and which platform they utilize.

Wow, way to spin… I’m currently looking at Brand protection for my company but have crossed BrandShield off the list… Companies hire third parties to handle brand protection because it doesn’t make sense to staff internally.

Funko and other companies don’t want their brand used without their permission.

This wasn’t necessarily showing them in a bad light, it was a fan page, but it appeared like it was an official Funko entity, imitating the Funko Fusion Dev site.

The issue was reported to both Linode and the name provider. Itch took down the page. Linode contacted Itch and closed the case after the response. The name provider ignored Itch’s response and went nuclear… Funko contacted the name provider to clarify and get itch back online.

Terrible analogy…

Brand protection is something that a lot of companies care about and many use third parties to handle it.

A much better analogy is if you were to hire security guards to protect your person and property and an overzealous guard kills someone. That happens often enough, we know the guard is on the hook, but the boss is rarely charged unless he was micro-managing it.

They blamed the service provider… BrandShield called for removal of the page, not the whole site.

Some people are looking past the partner or putting “partner” in quotes.

Funko doesn’t handle these takedown requests, they hired BrandShield for this. BrandShield definitely went overboard and their reputation is at risk.

I’ve shopped around for brand protection in the past when scammers registered a domain name with my company’s name in it, and used it to do fake job offers. We got the domain suspended by contacting the registrar, but we didn’t know about it until it was reported to us.

Yes… Vaccines reduce the risk of more serious Covid infections, which is linked to Long Covid.

A qualified elector is a different thing than a voter. Electors are those that are selected by the parties to travel and participate in the Electoral College. The voters determine which set of electors get selected.

I watched the whole video… Mowed down like 90 deer in a row.

He’s not planning to get that far… Just needs the optics a few weeks before the election and then, win or lose, will drop the case without going through discovery.

Love the CX-50…

I acknowledge the cell connectivity in the car costs Mazda money to keep running. Most cars with that kind of connectivity charge for it. But, I think 10/month is too much.
