I had a really bad migraine. It happens sometimes during 'that time of the month' so I was pretty miserable. I asked my husband if at some point today he could grab me more meds as I was getting low.

He said he'd go after we're intimate. The comment really upset me because he knew I felt horrible and instead of caring just assumed or I guess more like announced that we'd be intimate anyway. I didn't want to argue or disappoint him, especially since he feels I reject him way too often and I really am trying to work on that. So we go in the bedroom and I was trying, but laying down was making me more nauseated and in general, when I have a migraine I get sensory overload so it wasn't going well.

My husband stops and starts screaming at me for not being into it. I explained I just didn't feel good and I was sorry but he continued on. That my nausea story was BS and that it always seems I have an excuse when he doesn't care about excuses. He goes on about how I don't care about him and I tell him I felt like he didn't care about me because he just sees my migraine as an annoyance that's getting in the way of what he wants. I told him most husbands would probably let their wife rest instead of expecting more out of them. He said most wives wouldn't deny their husbands and would still at least put some effort in. I tried. I really did, but he's convinced I made no effort at all and this is just another failed time of intimacy that I ruined with my excuses. I asked him to have more patience and that it wasn't fair to blow up at me but he says he's all out of patience and my actions are what's responsible for getting him mad like this.

I really feel all of this was deeply unfair. I know if I had just said no in the first place I would still have gotten an attitude from him so it really was a lose lose situation unless I got over my needs and served him. That doesn't feel right. Am I looking at this the wrong way?

My lab is looking at moving more of our casework to AWS. A lot of our clients still prefer shipping us devices for imaging, but ideally we'd like to move toward primarily remote collections.

I was curious how other labs are handling this. Right now we've mainly been using Magnet Response and recently got Cyber Triage but obviously those are more triage/artifact collection than a full image.

What tools are you all using for remote collections, and how often are you taking full images versus relying on triage-style artifact gathering from tools like Magnet Response or Cyber Triage?

I’m also curious how others handle internet connectivity concerns on infected systems. In our last DFIR engagement, the client had already isolated the hosts and was very against reconnecting them to push agents or collect remotely. We ended up having them run cyber Triage offline and upload the collected data to S3 instead. Im not against doing it that way but it does take a little longer.

How do you typically approach those conversations with clients, and what guidance do you give to balance containment concerns with the need for remote collection?

I got laid off today. For some reason I got the meeting invite for meeting with HR and a way up the chain manager who I've never met on Wednesday. So I had a few days to process and hear all the rumors of what was happening before it happened.

I'm the sole income for my family so it's pretty scary. My husband had a freak accident that caused him to have a stroke last year so he isn't working. He's healed enough to where he's said he wants to go back to work but has been taking his time with actually applying for jobs. It's frustrating, but I also support him taking his time as I don't want him to overdo it taking on some job that he might not be able to handle (he still has a lot of cognitive issues from the stroke)

Anyway, I work from home so my husband listened in as I sat through the group Zoom meeting where my company callously let us go. We were talking about it afterwards. And I admitted it was a bit cathartic not to have to deal with this job anymore because I had been in a back and forth of wanting to quit for awhile because the team was losing business but my managers were convinced upper management would continue to fund our team's business venture and would encourage me to stay (plus the healthcare is amazing).

My husband started to talk about how he saw the writing on the wall for months now based on what Ive told him through the last 6 months and he tried to warn me. I cut him off because I didn't want to hear an 'I told you so'. Especially when my field is dealing with a lot of layoffs and job shortages so even if I had tried to leave, I may not have found something else.

Plus, I often don't feel supported by my husband in my career, he's made comments in the past like my job pays too much considering the 'low effort' I put in, that I just read off what the software puts out. That he worked way harder and only made half what I make. So I really didn't want to hear whatever his opinion was. I bluntly told him to stop and that he was making this about him. He got really upset. Launching into how I never listen to him, he was just trying to have a conversation with me not make it about him. I told him basically telling me 'I told you so' didn't feel very supportive. I just lost my job an hour ago and he's already telling me 'I told you so?'

He retorted I've known about this for a few days so this wasn't me 'just finding out' he said I was being overdramatic .

I finally apologized for cutting him off just to shut him up. But the entire thing still felt really wrong. I feel like he doesn't care about not just about what I'm going through, but about what's going to happen. Since I found out Wednesday, I've already applied to 11 jobs and have 3 meetings scheduled to talk to recruiters next week. While he hasn't applied for one single job. Yes with my severance, we will have money through July, but that doesn't mean we should be taking our time on this.

Am I being over analytical here?

I found out I'm getting laid off at the end of the month. I haven't learned the details of my severance package yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll only have heath insurance till the end of the month.

Cobra is too expensive, but I read I can at least have my kids on Medicaid while I'm job hunting. That being said, has anyone done ABA with Medicaid? Right now my son goes to ABA 40 hours a week. Will Medicaid let him stay at that level or will they cut his hours?

I was avoiding Magnet one, but now that my lab wants to move into the cloud, I'm looking at it. How does everyone who's used it feel about it? If you have the paid storage is it worth it? Or do they have tiers below unlimited? Just figured I'd get an opinion here then I'll talk to Magnet about it.

I read you can put the json files from Cyber Triage into Axiom and it should process so you can deep dive.

How do you get Axiom to read the json files? I've tried a few different ways with some Windows Collector files and it's not working...

I imaged the laptop using Paladin 9, it's a newer Lenovo thinkpad. I threw the image into Magnet after imaging and Magnet doesn't seem to notice it's bitlocker. Did they separate unlocking the drive to a separate program or did I do it wrong?

It's TPM 2.0 - is there a chance there's a trick with the newer TPM?
