I call it nutrition instead of diet

And you'd be wrong because they are different. Diet is diet. What you regularly eat and drink is diet, period.

When someone says diet, it doesn't necessarily imply a specific special intake of nitrition. It's all diet, even if you only consume twinkies, or eat regularly and nothing specific. It's a diet no matter what.

As for Udemy, they have "issues":

While that article is from 2015, it seems that not a lot has changed:

Personally I will spend my money elsewhere.

Not Udemy.

YouTube has pirated stuff on it as well for a while until they can get to it. It's not an easy thing to prevent when anyone can upload content unless each and ever video is reviewed, and they have checked the internet thoroughly for duplicate videos, which would be hard to find since they would have to be a member of other sites to check in the first place.

I've seen a couple of sites mentioned for training in the IT field.
I probably missed a ton though. What others are worth looking at?

This is the list so far (in alphabetical order):

• linuxacademy.com
• pluralsight.com
• udemy.com

Udemy is pretty good...they run sales often (if they are really "sales") and most of the purchased courses I've taken have been very good.

I like that you own the class for life. Some other places strictly use subscription model, and if you do not use for a couple months, it costs you money. With Udemy you can go back anytime and view your course with no out of pocket expense once purchased.

And the courses are kept up to date as well.

Create a login script to rename "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" to C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe_remove" that way you can locate it again if you want to change it in the future.

Does this part _8wekyb3d8bbwe of the filename ever changes after a version/build of Windows 10 update?

Not in my experience, ever.

@IRJ Still in beta I thought.

Yeah but I've been using it for months now as my daily driver, only using other browsers for separate sessions. Barley any issues at all (likely less than mainstream browsers), and I use all kinds of web apps.

@marcinozga said in Evaluating Defender ATP:

I was about to evaluate it to, I had a webex session with Microsoft sales, and while it looks nice, it doesn't really offer anything special over other solutions. And it's expensive, really expensive. Perthaps sales mislead me but we either had to subscribe to O365 E5 or M365, or get Windows 10 Enterprise licenses. It worked out to being 15-18 times more expensive than 3rd party antivirus solution.

Not sure how did they gave you that info! An average pricing structure as below

And security products straight from O365 admin portal subscriptions page:

These are prices IF you already have one of their subscriptions. If you don't need them or have something else, you're paying $15-$20 per month per endpoint. That's how much it costs per year if you go with other av vendor.

But as mentioned - $15-20 per year is only for typical AV, not an ATP product.

And the difference between the two is.....? ATP is really just a marketing phrase at this point. Here are some features from "traditional" av:

• malware protection, both behavioral and definition based
• ransomware protection
• phishing protection
• ids/ips
• device control
• exploit blocker
• botnet protection
• web filtering
• memory analysis
• central management, either cloud or local

And a full forensics audit trail?

I'm really curious which ones have this stuff for 15-18 times less the cost of Defender ATP?

@marcinozga said in Evaluating Defender ATP:

Every commercial solution has included advanced heuristic/behavioral detection, and a lot more features.

Some may. But do they show any insight as to what's going on in your environment, or allow for any kind of "real" forensics?

While it may be more expensive than one's current A/V solution, it's definitely not 15-18 times more than a different centrally-manageable enterprise solution.

The cheapo 3rd party solutions really only offer definition based protection. That's pretty standard and is just the tip top of the iceberg of enterprise end-point protection. I'm not saying any blanket statements here, perhaps simple cheapo a/v is fine for some traditional or legacy environments, they are all different. I'm also not saying everyone needs all the features of DATP. My point is that while some can get away with a simple cheapo or free A/V or definition based protection, there's a ton of need for more than that.
