Another good read by @PotentEngineer @SwiftOnSecurity. As someone who has worked in 400K+ environments, I can relate to all of the precautions. It doesn't matter how big or small you are, you should be doing these things to prevent unplanned outages. potentengineer.com/2025/07/02/man…

My Autotrack software captures the moment that Starship lost control. Excitement was very much guaranteed. Great first attempt by the SpaceX team! Tune in to hear our live reaction! @NASASpaceflight youtube.com/watch?v=uouujj…

Powerful thunderstorms in France 🇫🇷 right now. You can even see the outflow spread out like a shockwave. Heading north across the channel this evening with lightning risks in southern England tonight.

Incredible 263.8 mm (10.4 in) of rain fell in 24 hours in Cumbria, England with much more to come. Warm and moist air has travelled all the way from the tropics, this is called an atmospheric river. 24 hour rainfall record for UK is 341.4 mm (13.4 in), set in December 2015.

Intune/Azure AD folks, What are the legitimate cases where hybrid Azure AD join is *needed* instead of Azure AD join. Excluding things such as time constraints on planning for GPO migration etc. I'm talking hard tech limitations. cc: @martin_schmidli @dean_ellerby @ooms_rudy

Some great capability on display from @iceyefi this morning. The European company is now operating sufficient radar satellites in orbit (14) to run a tightly controlled daily ground-track repeat across target scenes, eg #Fagradalsfjall #volcano. bbc.co.uk/news/science-e… #SAR

Here's a threat on some overpowered technologies to slow down attackers that you can implement _now_. First, re-implement LAPS (microsoft.com/en-us/download…) at your peril. 1/14

So, there was a major attack recently. Apropos of that, I wanted to re-up how we (Microsoft) recommend folks lay out their environments for security-mindedness. In short we call it Privileged Administration. It's the foundation of our (ugh) zero trust model.
