    Mac Mini Is Now Shadow IT Infrastructure — And IT Isn't Ready

    This week, the Mac Mini quietly became the default home for always-on AI agents — and your users are probably already running them outside your security boundary. Meanwhile, VMware just dropped an ARM hypervisor. And if you needed a reason to treat AI agents like real identities, a coding agent just wiped an entire production database and every backup in nine seconds flat.👏 Thanks to Cayosoft for sponsoring this episode!

    Windows 11 Can Now Undo Everything — Including Your Security Patches

    Microsoft is previewing a full system rollback for Windows 11 — OS, apps, files, everything — snapped back to where it was 72 hours ago. It's basically a time machine for your PC. But here's the thing: it can also roll back your security patches. Meanwhile, a single configuration change knocked Outlook off every iPhone for over 24 hours. And Microsoft flipped the switch: Copilot is now doing its thing by default, whether your governance is ready or not. Thanks to Cayosoft for sponsoring this episode.

    Windows 11 Is Getting AI Agents on the Taskbar

    Microsoft just confirmed that AI agents — including third-party ones — are coming to the Windows 11 taskbar. The controls to manage them exist the default hands control to the user. Plus, there's a new way to do a Hybrid Entra Join without waiting for Entra Connect to sync, but it needs Windows Server 2025 domain controllers in every domain. And Windows Recall is back in the security headlines — a researcher has proven he can silently drain your entire Recall history after a single Windows Hello tap. Microsoft says that's fine.

    Unreliable & Unpatched: Enterprise PCs Are Losing Trust

    This Week in IT, Omnissa says enterprise PCs are “unreliable, unpatched, and unloved” with Windows machines crashing 3-times more and updating far slower than Macs. At the same time, Washington is ripping foreign-made routers off the market over spying fears, effectively banning new Wi-Fi equipment from abroad to safeguard networks. And just as hackers weaponize AI to hijack logins, Microsoft is releasing AI agents in Defender to hunt down identity thieves inside your organization.
