So I weighed my options, which ranged from enterprise workstations to mini PCs everyone in the home lab community loves to talk about. Pricing for either ran well past what... 🔗 Source: #raspberry 👉@sysadminoff https://www.xda-developers.com/used-office-pcs-are-the-secret-home-lab-upgrade-nobody-talks-about/

Chrome for Arm64 Linux is now available to download You can now install an official Google Chrome build on Arm64 Linux devices, including the Raspberry Pi.

Microsoft Entra sets passkey deadline as July updates add tenant recovery Microsoft Entra administrators now have a fixed migration clock: passkeys become the default authentication method on September 1, 2026, while Microsoft-provided SMS and voice authentication are retired on February 1, 2027. Users relying on those weaker MFA methods will receive registration prompts, with passkey enrollment eventually required before sign-in can continue. Microsoft also introduced Entra Conditional Access for Agents and Entra ID Protection for Agents service plans, so organizations using AI-agent security features should verify their Microsoft 365 Agent or E7 licensing.
