Linked – Fake Obama speech is the beginning of the end of video evidence

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I don’t think we are quite at the point where video evidence is dead, but the “fake” Obama video is pretty realistic and would take some serious analysis to show that it is a fake, and when we can’t even be bothered to read news articles before they go viral, how much damage could be done with current video technology? Let alone what will happen as it continually improves.

I don’t want to get all conspiracy theory on you, but a little skepticism might be a good thing, especially if something seems to agree with your worldview a little too much. You don’t want to become the friend known for sharing fake news, do you?

    Marriott Gets Caught Blocking Mobile Hot Spots

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As a card carrying Gold level Marriott customer, the wifi situation has always been a source of confusion for me. When I travel for work or personal reasons, I generally stay in the lower end Marriott properties, the Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn and Suites, etc. Those rooms usually come with free wifi. The more expensive…

    Linked: Ongoing M365 Tenant Upgrades/Migrations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    It’s not normal for us to be using a platform that works one way, then changes and works another way two weeks later, but that is absolutely the way the Agile development is going to happen. The decision to change will be pushed by the business case for making the change, eDiscovery will be a second thought, if a thought at all.

    That means two things in my mind in addition to the things Greg lays out in his post below.

    1. You have to test, test, test. Constantly. You have to stay on top of new features, old feature changes, undocumented changes, etc.

    2. The legal industry as a whole is going to have to get a lot more comfortable with “good faith efforts” being a little more of a gray area as these changes get made. What we could collect easily before, may require a lot more time and effort today, or it may not be possible today because of a bug in a recent update.

    It’s going to happen. Whether you want to talk about M365, Google, cloud document management, cloud review platforms, or even cloud backups. Things will happen beyond our ability to control them, and those things will impact eDiscovery. Are we going to be OK accepting that?

    Another Thing I Learned about Robocopy Today

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Apparently, if you use Robocopy to copy data into a folder that doesn’t already exist in the source directory, Robocopy will create the folder, as I thought it would, but it will be created as a System folder, with Hidden and Read-Only attributes. Now, that’s not a big deal, it’s easy enough to make hidden…

  • Linked – AI data readiness: C-suite fantasy, big IT problem

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    This might seem like a new problem, but it’s an old problem that shows up when trying to do something new. 

    There is a lack of a strategy for data security and data rot. Too many organizations have punted when deciding what data to keep versus delete and haven’t made the hard decisions about implementing data security internally. Now, they want to use AI, but the AI is accessing all that outdated data and exposing the places where security wasn’t correctly implemented. So, it becomes an IT problem to fix.
