Be nice

On November 3rd, I’ll be working a very low paying job that I do a few times a year.  You see, I am a poll worker for my local precinct whenever there are elections.  Elections occur between 1 and 4 times a year, depending on the year and this year we have them all.  I’m asking you, on that day, …

Fixing PowerShell ExecutionPolicy and GPO

PowerShell has an annoying, to me, idea about security. Yeah, yeah, we all love security, blah blah blah. But…
