Now, of COURSE, how did one random password result in full network access? Sure, that's a failing. It's not nothing. But, it's gotta be taken in context.

RE: How Secure Is Your Networkposted in News
Security isn't relevant. They didn't have backups. This was gross incompetence. Everyone getting ransomwared tries to cover up and trick the media to not admit that they didn't have the most basic of IT oversight.... just having backups. Had they had backups, the impact here would be very small. The concern about a compromised password is a distraction. Yes, MAYBE a secondary problem, but they are scapegoating an "unnamed employee" to protect their head of IT from a lawsuit. The investors are being scammed.

@Obsolesce Well that's unexpected. Pretty cool to see it making inroads. Microsoft screwed the pooch a bit lately, good time for Linux to get some momentum.

@travisdh1 o3 is for the best advanced reasoning.
Right o series are reasoning models. GPT are intelligence models. o for strategy, GPT for tactics.

@travisdh1 said in OpenAI ChatGPT 4.1 vs 4.5 Models:
This is a somewhat surprising because all the recent reviews I've read or heard claim o3 and o3-mini are the best models so far at least for programming purposes. Are 4.1 and 4.5 newer than o3?
Much newer, 4.1 is actually the newest, very confusing. 4.1 is the most up to date. But a much smaller model.

OpenAI ChatGPT 4.1 vs 4.5 Modelsposted in IT Discussion
Until you spend a lot of time in technical tasks, you might not be aware of just how significantly different the output from different models can be for coding and other technical tasks where we want discrete results and not wordy soliloquies. After weeks of deep diving into using several models for technical research GPT-4.1 is a clear winner by quite a stretch. Keywords has a great breakdown of the two latest ChatGPT models, 4.1 and 4.5 and how they stack up (and why) for different tasks.

It's not a LInux thing, it's a general networking thing so the same on desktops, Windows, wherever.
This is correct. If I recall right, within the Windows network config GUI, it's called a "domain suffix.".
Sounds right.
