So sad that we haven't done MC this year, ... yet. Missing everyone, more than usual.

You could have done a virtual MC and brought in even more attendees.

The physical ones are virtual as well so it doesn't seem like only virtual would bring in more than the two combined.

They were? I thought they were just recorded and posted to YouTube like a year later?

Were there actually live interactive broadcasts?

Yeah, maybe not the latest year, but the original two years were done live as well.

Who gave their presentations remotely? Weren't they all done on-site?

Heading to the Japanese bakery inside Mitsuwa to buy cake for everyone. It is our 2nd 13th anniversary.

Something traditionally significant every 13 years of marriage in Japanese culture or something?

Ha, no.

We were married in Japan on July 28,2007. But because I did her immigration as a K-1 (fiancée) visa, that ceremony was just that, a ceremony. We filed no legal paperwork in Japan.

So a couple days after returning to the U.S., August 10, 2007, we were legally married at a courthouse.

Oh that makes sense too.

Why not force https, then allow them to wget/curl with basic authentication using something they already know like Custer number and company name (for example). That can always be logged and tracked, alerted on if it's abused.

Some sort of authentication is the only way if the app doesn't support built in updating of some kind.

@scottalanmiller said in Local Encryption ... Why Not?:

Had a customer a few weeks ago lose their laptop because they encrypted it but couldn't figure out their password. Non-replaceable part. So it was hosed.

It's funny how a place with a handful of devices has problems with that, but a place that has 25 thousand encrypted devices across ~30 countries literally has not a single issue with it.
