    apparently it’ll pwrma lock itself after x amounts of invalid passwords which is just incredibly stupid. But don’t worry, there is a backup key! Yeah, that is lie

    If you only used TPM for bitlocker with no pre-boot authentication or something similar, it’s possible that you had the “MaxDevicePasswordFailedAttempts” policy configured. Apparently that is configured by default if you use the security baseline.

    IMO it makes a lot of sense to lockdown and require bitlocker recovery if there has been a few failed attempts.

    We use bitlocker on probably over 1000 devices I don’t believe we had any substantial issues with it. Of course users occasionally get locked out, but that should be planned for and a process should be in place to help them.

    I suggest deploying windows hello or smart cards to reduce the dependency on passwords. Window hello for business is especially great since it’s free, secure and way easier and faster for users to use, especially if your devices have fingerprint readers or face recognition. I wish Linux and MacOS had anything as useful as Windows Hello.

    Considering that any server with one of these is likely to have two of them, that’s quite a lot of heat to dissipate.

    A cpu also generally needs to be kept cooler than a space heater.

    My home server has a row of surprisingly powerful and small fans and that’s just for a few years old dual Xeon system. I have never personally been (knowing) near a GPU farm but I have been behind a crazy ass router (Cisco ASR 9000 something) that’s like 10+ U. The airflow behind the router is crazy.
