At least for my org, AWS seems to be deteriorating. We have less online now than at 7 AM ET this morning. In fact, more was functional an hour ago.

Microsoft has really dropped the ball with Windows 11. There are school districts choosing *Linux* going forward. Unbelievable to see in real life.
This will eventually erode Entra and Azure, too. Without that tight OS integration, there's little reason not to go with other cloud solutions.

I don't know if the narrative is true that Microsoft is "replacing developers with AI," but regardless, what will be the incentive for future Microsoft employees to create efficiencies if they're afraid they'll eliminate their own jobs?

@crh.bsky.social weren't you forcing MFA on logon of Windows at one point? Did you ever get it done?

@merill.net let's say I make a Conditional Access Policy that grants access only to device objects that have certain values in certain attributes (so device filtering).
How difficult is that for an attacker to spoof? An attacker can't "pretend" to be a device to gain access, right?

@crh.bsky.social does your Microsoft 365 seller have any access to your tenant?
We are looking to migrate from SHI which is an EEA to another provider which is a CSP. And they seem to want access to our tenant "to provide support." But I want nothing like that.
But do you allow it?

@crh.bsky.social you told me this but I can't remember.
If we have password writeback enabled and I want a user to be able to successfully change passwords, which portal should be used? Isn't there some subtle differences between, say, the Entra ID portal and the 365 admin portal?

Not gonna lie: if the "no tax on tips" provisions go through, I'm going to cut my tips by at least half. I've been having somewhat negative feelings about over-tipping for a while, and this would add to it.

ChatGPT is so wonky. It sometimes amazes me, but then you can give it something as simple as a title at the top of a CSV file and it responding "whoa buddy, that thing ain't readable!!!!!"

A year ago, this would have been called fear mongering perpetuated by the left. Today, it's just a headline right-wing nuts gloss over as normal.

The Microsoft IPP Class Driver does not seem to be working well. Users are so irritated by printing performance that we are having to switch back to the native drivers.
The main issue we are seeing is pauses between printing of pages.

Prime example of AI feeding AI bullshit.
Google's AI search results incorrectly say that Mediant SBC supports ACME.
When asking ChatGPT the same question, it Googles the answer, which results in ChatGPT also having the wrong answer. They even both reference the same manual. lol

The U.S. has long not invested into education, but it seems to be entering a new era where over 40% of the populist truly thinks it's all ivory-tower, pie-in-the-sky, will-never-need-it bullshit.

I work in a university system. I was told tonight there will be huge cuts by June 1, 2026, as a result of state-level "efficiency" programs, inspired by DOGE.
Specifically: HR, IT, and finance will be hit the hardest.

If you create a web clip on an iPad using Intune and then tell Intune to uninstall the web clip, it should uninstall, right? Or is this another dumb "Intune limitation?"
