WTF, why am I getting my ISC squared annual membership fee notice 6 months ahead! And I wish they would stop calling it an 'AMF' that doesn't make it seem any better...

Oi, geez. I wish it wasn't so hard to compare Microsoft licensing options to one another. It's kinda hard to tell if I'm really getting all the things that I need or not.

Sure, go ahead guys, please go to the moon... As long as you like!
"Even beyond China, Duffy noted another race we're in: one with U.S. President Donald Trump. "The president and I want to get to the Moon in this president's term," he told CNBC."

Remember that if your employees take sensitive data home or work from home then you have to protect it there too. A company computer doesn't magically keep everything safe.

They are judging books by their covers... because book bans are stupid! And people are effectively crowd sourcing ban requests. I wouldn't be surprised if there's one busybody trying to ban 1000s of books every day because they don't have love in their life

Many book bans could be judging titles mainly by their covers
A study of more than 1,600 books suggests that book ban advocates may not look past the cover art.

With Russia behaving as a blatant bad actor for all to see (except internally) Hollywood should reboot some of the old classics like Hunt for Red October or Red Dawn!

Good work! Now we just need to support the future growth and move any subsidy from fossil to renewables.

I'm thinking that Microsoft will eventually replace all product names with "Microsoft" so there's no confusion as to where the produce came from. What this? Oh it's Microsoft Microsoft! Ahhh yes, the chat vulnerability scanning productivity software.

It would probably really help the US consciences and screw with all politicians if the news didn't report on anything until they actually released reports, evidence, etc. It's exhausting when someone's reporting on something someone said instead of actual news. "Expert" testimonials? Mmmhmm 🙄

Microsoft is turning into the "cable service" of SaaS, like thanks for the extra package with Stream, Loop, Sway, and Viva... But I don't really need those things. Bundles are ok but it's better when I need the things.
