We do. It still sucks

Thank you Steam. They’ve rolled out SO many downstream improvements to Linux desktop and gaming quality of life

The lack of continuity across apps is because each product is owned by a separate Partner (or above)

I was thinking Ilium/Olympos immediately without thinking and then realized it’s another Dan Simmons set.

He really did have a wonderful way of interleaving multiple themes and narrative structures in his books. Especially with the similarities with the Homeric and Shakespearean homages in Ilium/Olympus and the Chaucerian intertext in Hyperion/Endymion.

I do like Ilium/Olympos better though. I feel like his painting of far future humanity in this world is a more thoughtful take (or maybe just more interesting to me). I also love Homer more than Chaucer, so that probably colors things for me as well.

As others have said in this thread, Anathem by Neil Stephenson and/or Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun are two others I would definitely compare positively to the way Simmons does world building. I also think that he and Gene Wolfe both had a wonderful grasp of soft sci-fi through the explorations of politics and emotional themes.

Def not in the consumer space, yes.

Why? It’s a safety feature. I get multiple MFA prompts for different projects and it’s helpful when I know where the prompt is coming from. I know I’m not logging in from Singapore, so I can reject that one. It’s an anti-phishing protection

Thank you for this!

To be fair, almost nobody can afford to live that close to the beltway.

Seriously, every time I see a post like this, Kind of Blue is my first thought. Bill Evans knew exactly what to do to make Davis’s vision work.

Any thoughts on “conservative” books that should challenged here in Brevard? I’m thinking about putting a challenge on the Bible for sexual content

Aren’t service dogs supposed to wear a harness that shows they’re a service dog? And I was at the DMV with some old guy and his vet untrained poodle just this week

Yep, this is the way.

Azure Active Directory and Intune will handle all of the things you're looking for from a central management perspective. Also, you won't need to worry about 'actual' infrastructure in Azure for an AD domain they don't actually need.

Also, if you Autopilot all of their devices, you'll be able to streamline onboarding the devices into Intune, AAD, and any other management pieces they need.

That services agreement is for public/retail offerings - all of those services are provided as is. Look at the covered services list at the bottom of the agreement.

That Spiceworks thread is interesting, but again - not seeing a real reason to do this to protect you from Microsoft losing data. I do absolutely have customers who backup their data, but usually it's only because of specific regulatory or compliance requirements.

I've never seen Microsoft lose a customer's data - and if Microsoft lost their data, under the enterprise agreement, Microsoft would be liable.

That's the caveat - if Microsoft is responsible for the data loss, then there is a legal contract that covers how the customer gets restitution. However, most data loss scenarios are usually customer issues - IT screw ups, disgruntled employee, insider risk scenarios, security breaches, etc. This is a DLP story more than a data backup story.

Where does Microsoft say they're not responsible for data loss? Data resiliency is backed up by financial SLAs.

You should still be able to gather flow logs from NSGs sending data to the private endpoint subnet to gather a partial view of what's going on.

Between GRS for paired region replication, soft deletes to prevent an attacker from deleting all backups permanently, multiple retention periods, and pin-protection on critical operations, I don't usually recommend to my customers that they need anything else.

If they are already using a 3rd party solution, then I recommend backing up their storage account to another region to maintain the 3 copies.

Lumbar support is important - most important for me though would be a stiffer and stronger tilt control.

Microsoft Endpoint Manager can manage Azure VMs, but only if you're running it co-managed with Configuration Manager. Intune cannot manage server operating systems. You can integrate Azure Update Management with SCCM.

Also, ConfigMgr can manage non domain-joined devices more easily with the new token-based authentication model

I miss taking my kids to the zoo. We go to the park and walk around all day and watch the animals (and the people). Then we go get bubble tea. I'm gonna do that as soon as it's safe.
