"I decided to experiment a lil bit w my art style it's prolly not one I'll use often" *proceeds to draw in said art style for 2 weeks and 4 days* it's honestly been a while since I've drawn in the shows style and I find that fascinating-

I found a new pen today, so I decided to test it around, and since I noticed 492 has no drawing of him anywhere, somehow, I drew him while testing the pen. Say hi to my OC Henry as well, being a little jerk lmao. I love them both <33

Tested out my pens today, and I love them 😍

[restless-mode]

little pen test that i did on the kinbor weeks

since the paper is so smooth, the gel pens (and some markers) need a sec to dry but at least they don't bleed through

the paper does feel nice. The pages are definitely a bit thinner to what i'm used, i'll be careful about where i put it in my backpack as i'm accustomed to simply throwing it in

Essential IT Services and Cybersecurity Trends for UK Businesses in 2025

The digital landscape for UK businesses continues to evolve at breakneck speed in 2025. From ransomware threats to Microsoft’s latest AI integrations, staying ahead requires more than just awareness—it demands action. If you're a small or mid-sized business leader navigating managed IT services, cybersecurity, or cloud computing, this blog is your guide to the latest trends and essential services.

The Rise of Managed IT Services

More UK companies are turning to managed IT services to stay efficient and protected. A managed provider ensures your systems are always secure, updated, and aligned with compliance standards. Services like penetration testing, cloud computing integration, and disaster recovery are now baseline requirements, not luxury add-ons.

Microsoft Copilot and the AI Revolution

One of the biggest game-changers this year is Microsoft Copilot (also known as Microsoft 365 Copilot or M365 Copilot). This AI-powered assistant integrates directly with tools like Excel, Word, and Teams, streamlining everything from data analysis to internal communication.

Search interest for terms like Copilot Microsoft, Microsoft Co Pilot, and What is Microsoft Copilot has skyrocketed. UK companies—especially SMEs—are rapidly onboarding Copilot to gain a competitive edge through automation and smarter workflows.

Cybersecurity in 2025: Ransomware, Malware, and More

Cybersecurity threats continue to dominate IT conversations. High-volume terms like ransomware, malware, trojan virus, and adware reflect growing user concerns. Attack strategies evolve, but one trend is clear: small and medium businesses are no longer off the radar.

Understanding threats like social engineering and trojan malware is crucial. In fact, many search "What is social engineering?" or "What are social engineering?"—a sign that awareness is growing, but action is still lagging.

If you're not currently investing in penetration testing, pen testing, or a DPO (Data Protection Officer), now is the time. A strong cybersecurity posture can prevent devastating breaches.

The Importance of Intune and Microsoft Dynamics

Microsoft continues to dominate workplace software. Intune, Microsoft's endpoint management solution, ensures every device connecting to your company is secure and compliant. Interest in Microsoft Intune is on the rise, and for good reason—especially in remote or hybrid work setups.

Meanwhile, Microsoft Dynamics (often searched as Microsoft Microsoft Dynamics) is revolutionizing CRM and ERP systems for scaling operations.

Automation and RPA in Business IT

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is another transformative technology. Businesses adopting RPA can automate repetitive tasks, enhance data accuracy, and reduce costs. Combined with AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, RPA is redefining operational efficiency.

Common IT Issues: Emails and Endpoint Errors

One of the most searched terms in your list—not receiving emails and why am I not receiving emails—highlights how even basic communication tools can fail. These issues are often tied to misconfigured domains, spam filters, or outdated systems—all things a managed IT provider can prevent.

Real-World Names in the IT Ecosystem

Search volume shows users are actively researching companies like Littlefish, Microbyte, Trulysmb, and Wavex—key players in the UK managed services space. In particular, Little Fish, Littlefish.co.uk, and Little Little Fish (a surprisingly popular variant) are driving interest.

Also seeing search spikes: Civica, Viridor, Raven Housing Trust, Croydon Government, and Raven Trust Redhill—likely due to digital transformation projects or IT partnerships in the public sector.

Your Next Step: Partner with a Smart IT Provider

Navigating this digital maze is no small feat. If you're juggling security, compliance, cloud transitions, or Microsoft integrations, the best move is to partner with a proactive IT provider.

From running a full SOC (Security Operations Center) to resolving Outlook errors to automating workflows with RPA, Pilot IQ ensures your tech stack is optimized, secure, and scalable.

Just don’t nicely let anyone into server room! It’s not that hard, just don’t let anyone into the server room.

"Oh shit, my career!" shouted one of the interns in the bullpen when it becomes obvious immediately what had happened. Yes, Justin. You had now learned a new and uncomfortable truth about working for the Man, and your working life will never be the same again. And it all started because he didn't follow the mandatory security training that every employee needs to click through while half-paying attention.

Yes indeed. In a past life, I was an information-technology security specialist. For those of you in the back who have led worthwhile existences, these words may not make sense to you. Others are not so lucky, and at this moment are rolling their eyes, or looking for the closest exits. We are, or were, the folks who force you to use a password that isn't "password," and stop sending emails containing the company's bank information to Inner Somalia.

Being in information security is a lot like being a regular old computer nerd, except you're also incredibly paranoid. Imagine you live in a house full of vicious, murderous ghosts that only you can see, and all your family members keep doing horror movie cliche shit like leaving the doors open, shaking genie lamps they find in the parking lot, and reciting "Bloody Mary" three times into a bathroom mirror. You gotta keep them safe, which slowly drives you insane over the course of, oh, about your first six weeks of employment. After that, you've basically just given up and are like the hardened firefighters who respond to grisly highway accidents with an encyclopedic knowledge of what kind of solvent cleans what kind of human fluid off the roadway.

Back to Justin: part of our paranoia involved doing elaborate role-playing exercises. Some of our nerds would pretend to be a different kind of nerd, and try to talk themselves into places they didn't belong. The idea is that a horrible criminal or cyberterrorist could also use this rarefied power ("Hi, I'm the guy who is supposed to fix the servers. They're not serving. Please show me where the servers are, and leave me alone with them for several hours") and we needed to figure out who was dumb enough to fall for it. Justin was dumb enough to fall for it.

If only he had paid attention to the mandatory security quiz that we made him click through, this all could have been avoided. Everything ended up well for him, though. The whole experience made Justin incredibly, violently paranoid, which made him a perfect candidate to become a information technology security specialist. The system works!

Still had low motivation so have some quick things I did

I was bored so I decided to test the performance of three different pens for sketch making!

1. random roller ball ink pen: the sketch is not so detailed and the ink transfers to the other page. points to the pen for being rechargeable, also I have this pen for at least ten years and I never needed to recharge it 7/10

2. bic's cristal ultra fine pen: I absolutely love this pen for writing but it's also great for drawing you can do all sorts of details 100/10

3. bic's 0.8 ballpoint pen: there's not much to say it's a great pen 👍 10/10

here are the pens in questions if you're curious

Have you considered a job in pen testing?

I should be allowed on the roof of every building and on the inside of every elevator room. I should be permitted in every cellar and every vault. I should have license over all the data in all the data-stores. It is my birthright

Through The Eyes of a Thief from DakotaCon is a very interesting story rich talk that will expand your perspective of physical security.
