Re:Big Sur bug prevents upgrades to the next version

I can reliably reproduce the issue by asking the MDM to list updates on the client. That puts the device in a bad state until the next reboot.
But even without the MDM taking action, the client can enter this state as long as it's enrolled in the MDM. My guess is there a background download/check that happens at an unspecified interval.

Yes, I'm sure. MDM does have a feature to defer updates (which is a mess on its own) but that's not what is happening here. The MDM can see the update, but attempting to install it fails. The logs clearly indicate that the client tries and fails the download.

Fleetsmith has always been one of the only two commercial products I've endorsed for Mac management. They do great work and have the right vision.
I work a lot in this space on https://micromdm.io/ an open source service, and have industry experience doing device management at various organizations.

My experience has been that my MBP gets hot if I try to share a specific window. Switching from a window as a source, to a full screen source has improved OBS performance quite a bit.
And I do use this plugin.

Knowing what the Fullstory product is I'm a bit un-interested in what they're doing with cool new technologies.
This is a bit like reading how palantir is using Kubernetes.

The download comes from dl.google.com while the checksum is published on golang.org.
FWIW the macOS pkg you download is signed.

> When a device goes missing and can’t connect to Wi-Fi or cellular—for example, a MacBook left on a park bench—it begins periodically broadcasting the derived public key Pi for a limited period of time in a Bluetooth payload. By using P-224, the public key representation can fit into a single Bluetooth payload.
This is clever, and the reason Apple chose P-224 specifically.

Facebook has since transfered the project to the Linux Foundation, and the group behind osql is largely the same group of maintainers on the current osquery.

Re:Bernie Sanders to unveil plan to cancel all $1.6T of student loan debt

I "hustled" like you said. I have no debt and better paying job than my partner, who has a masters degree in education and is a primary school teacher. As we're starting a family, we are considering that our savings will pay that debt.
This is a good proposal for everyone overall, even if you don't think it impacts you personally since you don't have a student loan yourself.
