This prevented us from failing over during last October's outage (unless we wanted to reset everyone's password). Glad to see AWS focusing in on resiliency.

with which models, though?

I use OneDrive at work for all of my documents and have never encountered the horror stories I frequently read. I read these stories often enough where I believe there genuinely is a problem. But I do wonder why there is a difference for some and not others. Perhaps I've conditioned myself to live with its faults?

I will say that the Microsoft Office OneDrive save experience is completely subpar. It behaves completely separate & unlike Windows Explorer and is just unpleasant to work with.

is that fully functional, or still limited to 1:1 conversations?

in some people's eyes, that's a feature, not a bug.

who are the shareholders?

Not shilling, but Microsoft Teams with a Premium license does this, and it works very well. I am not sure how I feel about this, though - not everything needs to be 'on the record'. It's beneficial for most topics, but most != all.

In one conversation, their AI saw right through me tiptoeing around a delicate matter where a problem was caused by a client's inaction. The meeting summary laid it out correctly, but it wasn't great from a relationship perspective.

windows terminal is awesome and i wish it shipped with windows by default instead of having to go to the store and install it. everyone who uses it has only good things to say, and it is updated regularly by Microsoft.

SharePoint is a great way to share data with third parties. You may even know some of them.

Binaries are available, although Windows Defender is not liking the most recent version. The previous one is fine.

Depends. How do you feel about an OS running on your network that's not subject to your standard OS hardening, mandatory agent stack?

Bruce retired following the passing of his wife. Good for him; life is short.

Costs to buy certs will not materially change. Costs to manage certs will increase.

Linking to the lite version of an article about an image is an odd choice as the lite version doesn't include images by default. Thanks for linking to the full page.

Some luck, and willingness to take risks paid off in ways that could never be anticipated. Not sure I'll see something like the pc era in my lifetime. Perhaps mobile phones, or the Internet.

it is hit and miss nowadays. definitely better than it was, though. somethign that should be common engineering criteria, i agree.

this has been consistent with my experience. the top down hierarchical approach in azure is unmatched in aws to this day. an aws accountnis a loose connection of resources across regions. if youre in an unfamilar account, youll spend some time really figuring out where everything lives first.

is that automation tool commercial or internal? we built one in house, but are interested in a third party option. could be that internal business rules make this a build over buy option., though.

Would be interested in seeing how the author's position has evolved in a few years when her children are in school, have activities, are with friends and need a pick up.

Seems like a competitor to Azure's CosmosDB offering , which also now has wire support for postgres.

This is why reserved seating is the best thing to happen to movies. I leave for the theatre almost at the time the movie 'starts', get my popcorn/soda, and sit down as the last trailer begins.

This failed me once where for some odd reason the movie actually started on time, but 1-2% failure rate is mostly acceptable.

Wikipedia states FTX had 300 employees total. How many were in the inner circle? SBF: pled not guilty, 25 years. Ryan Salame, co-CEO: pled guilty, 90 months. Gary Wang & Nishad Singh, co-founder & engineering director: pled guilty, awaiting sentencing later this year. Caroline Ellison, Alameda CEO: guilty, two years.

That's five high ranking folks 'in the know'. Likely others who knew but they didn't have enough evidence for an airtight case.

agree. i don't recall MS saying that it could be uninstalled, only that it could be disabled.

Africa. China is playing the long game there.

The Copilot meeting summary features in Teams are actually pretty good. It's far more likely that someone will quickly skim the meeting summary than sit through an hour long meeting recording. Costs extra, though.

This illustrates the difference between a Business Continuity Plan and Disaster Recovery.

Markup aside, your description of what Salesforce is offering is what the article is saying should be done. Encryption of the disk at rest doesn't do anything for data exfil situations; it protects against physical theft or improper disposal - only.

windows xp sp1 and later bundled .net framework, which included compilers for c# and vb.net.

May be personal preference, or what you experienced first, but I prefer Azure with AWS as a close second, GCP as a distant third.

I find that AWS is overly account-focused, and it's more difficult to do operations at an org level. Azure is the inverse.

But I also don't like how Azure PaaS/serverless deploys open to the Internet by default.
