Weekly update

It all feels a bit "business as usual" this week; data breaches, IoT and 3D printing. But what I'm most excited about is what I probably spent the least amount of time talking about, that being the work 1Password and I have been doing on our "Hello CISO" series. I love it because it's broadly relevant, easily consumable and totally, properly free. Feedback so far has been awesome, I hope you enjoy it too 🙂 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast/id1176454699] [ht...

Well this week went on for a bit, an hour and 6 mins in all. The 2 Apple things were particularly interesting due to the way in which both catching CSAM baddies and catching baddies who steal your things involves using technology that can be abused. Is it good tech because it can do good things? Bad tech because it can do bad things? Or is tech just morally neutral and we need to look at it more holistically? I argue the latter, but also acknowledge the views of both camps at either end of the a...

I'm back in the office this week and back to decent audio and video quality. There's loads of bits and pieces happening as evidence by almost an entire hour disappearing in this week's vid, ranging from problems with tradies (tradespeople), more lockdown, stats on some projects and then this week's blog post, 3D printing with my 9-year old daughter Elle. Enjoy 😊 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast/id1176454699] [https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.Pl...

The plan this week was to do a super simple update whilst having some time out. In the back yard, sun shining, iPad, Air Pods, all good. Mostly all good - the sound quality on those Air Pods is absolute rubbish. I don't if that's a general truism or there's just something amiss with mine, but the constant fading out is extremely frustrating and I apologise for the sound quality not being up to expectations. Next week I'll be back in my office, I hope this week's video is still watchable and you...

This week, by popular demand, it's Charlotte! Oh - and Scott. People had been asking for Charlotte for a while, so we finally decided to do a weekly update together on how she's been transitioning from Mac to PC. Plus, she has to put up with all my IoT shenanigans so that made for some fun conversation, along with how our respective homelands are dealing with the current pandemic (less fun, but very important). There's been a bunch of requests for us to do more of this so stay tuned and maybe we...

Next week first: based on popular demand, at 18:00 on our end Friday 23 (that's 09:00 in London and terrible o'clock everywhere in the US), Charlotte is going to join me to talk about her transition from Mac to PC. Scott Helme will also be here (as in Zoom "here") so it'll be a bit of fun and inevitably go way off topic, but I thought it would be fun to fix it up a bit 🙂 This week is more of the usual with Chrome's push to HTTPS, another gov on HIBP and more travels in IoT land.

Between school holidays and a house full of tradies repairing things, there wasn't a lot a free time this week. That said, I've got another gov onto HIBP, snared by 11th MVP award, did a heap of other cyber-things and Charlotte and I even managed to slip in our first COVID shots amongst all that. Next week will start getting back to full steam as the winter holidays end (yeah, it's winter here, I know that's confusing for some people!) and I'm sure there'll be an all new stash of cyber-IoT-other...

This week is a bit of everything again, although the main difference this time was an update on the COVID situation we're facing in Australia. We've been largely virus-free (relative speaking) but as a result, vaccine rollout has been really slow (as in about 5% of the country being covered) and following some outbreaks of the Delta strain this past couple of weeks, everyone is feeling a bit nervous. We'll get there, but it's a bit of on add time for us and it's certainly dominated headlines rec...

A bit of a shorter work week this one as we escaped to a little getaway for a few days. That said, it gave me some nice downtime to continue writing the book and speaking of which, after today's video we had a regular catch up with Rob Conery and I think we made a bit of a breakthrough with how I intro it so hopefully we're one step closer again to a finished product now (do sign up to be kept up to date with progress [https://book.troyhunt.com/]). That, and all the usual stuff this week (except...

Thought I'd do a bit of AMA this week given the rest of the content was a bit lighter. If you like this sort of content then I'll try and be a bit more organised next time, give some notice and make more of an event out of it. Other than that, I'm screwing around with more IoT things, dealing with more breaches, onboarding new governments so yeah, same same 🙂 [https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/troy-hunts-weekly-update-podcast/id1176454699] [https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayM...
