I wouldn't blindly trust a brand new author in 2026, but it's very easy to trust an author that has put out good writing in years past. Not hard to find, there has been plenty of great books written after 2023. New authors however

Pretty much described what MSFT is trying to do with M365 Copilot. It's "secure", it can be deployed in GCC tenants, etc. It may not be a dedicated private server exactly, but they believe it is private enough.

Am I crazy? MSFT has was up about 100% in the prior three years before 2023 as well, and again for the three years before that. AI has had very little to do with MSFT growth. Pretty sure the 2023 lows were a response to the massive AI spend

I don't think MS value has been inflated by AI, if anything it's value has decreased from it's AI investments. MS has mostly been on it's same growth path for the last decade.

The auto-empty is absolutely worth it. If you want to be very thrifty, get an i7+ from eBay, or a refurbished J5/J7.

There is probably no transmission in a US road car that can be replaced for $500 in labor at an auto shop. Your buddy or some rando may do it, but no shop will for that price. Typical shop rate is $120-$220/hour. Most shops are going t

Out of all the og Xbox games, Kung Fu Chaos provided the most fun and laughs with friends. It honestly still holds up gameplay wise. I still play it sometimes. The minigames were the best.

That's true of DNS, not DHCP. One has to specifically install the DHCP role in a new AD domain.

Yeah this is completely unrelated to Teams. Exchange is actually still fairly prevalent, even among smaller companies. Although many of the smaller orgs that still have on-prem Exchange tend to have a migration plan to M365.

Just so everyone is aware, ReviOS disables the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations, virtualized based security, Windows Defender, turns off and hides the ability to use Windows Update (no future security updates), disables Bitlocker, etc. Many

I have a lot of experience managing O365/Azure, and these issues all come down to the config of MFA in the O365/Azure tenant. They may even be intentional for "security" purposes. To be fair, O365 and Azure change all th

Sounds to me that MFA is not setup correctly for you or the Azure tenants you are logging into.

I miss GPM so much. No one I know in person knew it existed, yet they still get to listen to my rants about Google killing the one true music service. I too have been finding music discovery difficult since GPM shutdown. YouTube Music is ge

Back in the before times, taxi drivers knew how to navigate a city just by memory. Give them an address and they'd probably know how to find it. Most likely this app was not navigation. Remember, feature phone, probably had less than a

When people say "I've nothing to hide", I usually say it's just like closing the curtains over the windows of your house. You may have nothing to hide, but you still want privacy. It makes sense to most people right away

If you've got the setup for rackmount, the Dell R7515 has PCIe4, but not 3200MHz memory support I think.

I miss Grooveshark, it's radio feature brought me so much amazing music. Surprisingly, Youtube Music has pretty decent music discovery in the form of it's radio feature, sort of like Grooveshark. I wish they would combine Google M

The Italians were also doing some amazing things in the 60's and 70's with electronic synthesizers and keyboards that made/make sounds that still can't be recreated.

Ah yes I turned off all the "smart" features I could. I don't trust Samsung with anything. I use a Chromecast for streaming needs, it's very reliable.

I own a Frame, and the normal viewing mode does have a very slight brightness adjustment that is automatic, I think I turned that on. It's not as dramatic as the Art Mode setting. The art mode dimming is very good, it has tricked every

I agree, I'm of the opinion that advertisements are one of the more evil and damaging aspects of society right now. Our attention and thoughts are bought for almost nothing, and we are expected to accept it. We don't get a choice

MS has done the same thing, they all saw the writing on the wall a few years ago. MS licensing is complicated, but you must buy a minimum of 16 cores, then you get license packs for additional cores.
