No need to fear. Governments would never even think about having letting their intelligence folks leverage that to find or create back doors into things we rely on. When has that ever happened. Seriously though, this sounds like competition for NSO group.
The difference between: where-object {$_clientname -eq "Contoso"} and where-object {$_.clientname -eq "Contoso"} can be a front page news story with horrific details. Be safe out there. #powershell
Minor thing, but in case it helps anyone else using #powershell on #linux - after the .net update to 10.0.106, pwsh was behaving kind of odd, and restarting the terminal only resolved some of the issues. A reboot resolved the rest. Find-PsResource -Tag not working, was one of the issues.
except on Linux of course :)

I just published a post on the new PowerShell CVE (CVE-2026-26143) with tips and guidance to ensure you are protected.
I breakdown, who’s affected, how to check, and what to do next.

The thumbs-up emoji in Teams provides an array of colors from bright yellow to dark brown. They need "Pasty-ass whitey" to finish the collection for me. Should come with a free pair of sunglasses. The cheap kind the eye doctors give you after a retina exam.
$100 each!? And I've been putting out terro traps to kill these little golden nuggets? Ant smuggler sentenced to a year in jail by Kenyan court | Illegal wildlife trade | The Guardian share.google/j0rJHtYCeB4W...
part 2:
"we'll stream the logs to your workspace"
"why not just grant table-level access in your workspace?"
"because this costs us more money and makes no sense."
"we need an audit log report"
"ok. I need access to the audit logs"
"you can't have it"
"then you can't have a report"
"why not?"
And some people are against using drugs. Idk how this could work without them. 🙃
Based on my experiences, they'll likely name the GUI feature something like "Business Channel Experience" and the registry key "OmGoofExZttr" with a value named "ChannelFrame" and a value of 0x0000011 for monthly semi-annual channel. Don't ask about the MDM setting.
Mac has that cool feature where you click the desktop and all the apps get out of the way, you can drag stuff, and then click back and they'll restore. I made that for Windows. Please test www.tinytooltown.com/tools/peekde...
I can already hear the support calls:
"Are you on the monthly semi-annual channel or the semi-annual semi-annual channel?"
I need to switch to better drugs. The world is leaving me behind...
Let's try that logic in them. "People who lock their front door or their car obviously have something evil to hide"
I saw a woman in Walmart today pushing a cart around with a girl doll in the child's seat, having a real conversation with "her". And some people don't think there's hope for humankind.
Sometimes a value in PowerShell looks blank… but technically isn’t. In this PoshBytes short I show the difference between `IsNullOrEmpty()` and `IsNullOrWhiteSpace()` and why it matters.

Option B: I could've taken a nap, followed by 4 cups of cold coffee, then I might've have caught the teeny tiny, itty bitty, little sort arrow being selected. Probably not. So I went with Option 1.
6 trips to the AI farm to ask why my #kusto had no gusto. 7th time I just pasted a screen shot of the query and output. It's the little things that sometimes make the most sunshine...

If I were in control of terrorist interrogation programs, I'd offer the captives a choice of (A) tooth removal with a pipe wrench or (B) resolving #powershell module dependency conflicts in Azure Automation. I bet they'd take a while to decide.
Are the "federal agencies" staffed to support this now? I'm going to guess no. Then again, maybe the order doesn't specify which Friday.
Is it just me, or did Teams change the "codeblock" widget to replace tabs with spaces and ruin my indention formatting just to raise my OCD blood pressure.

Happy Easter! But if that's not your thing, happy Sunday! No matter what, I hope you have a great day today.
99.99%complete,and realized I bought the wrong part for the last 0.01% of the project. Back to the hardware store again. Isn't that an old blues song?
No. 3 goes against my religious beliefs. And isn't "medication" redundant in this sentence?
So many tiny moments. Like the bartender-bot keeps asking "You want more?" to the priest, even as they're freaking out.
