If you are still using client secrets for applications, there is a shiny new doc you should read through and test out ❤️‍🔥 The TL;DR - use Managed Identities or Federated Credentials whenever possible. If you can't, use certificates, limit secret use. learn.microsoft.com/...

Did you know if you do the command shutdown -t 0 -sg, it will shutdown your PC, but also preserve the apps you'd had open before shutting down, so when you boot your PC back up it will open them again? 👀
