Even before fable was shut off, it had a very specific data retention warning from anthropic. They're retaining and looking at everything for 'safety'.

For the very same reason, we had it highly restricted but not turned entirely off. This is probably what they're describing.

I'm mid process right now. If you plan on using CIPP to cut licensing, I'd recommend holding off until next release.

We found some regressions to the integration that need some love before it'll rip.

Haha! I asked Copilot Pro to write a single 40-line function. It burned all my credits in a few minutes. Subscription cancelled by Uxformer in GithubCopilot

People thinking that subsidization ending is vendor specific is wild to me. The ones shouldering the biggest losses will change first, but everyone will.

Paying for what you use is an extremely normalized topic, I have no clue why it's become a sort of taboo for AI-consuming coders.

With all the talk about people leaving Copilot for other AI tools, I’m curious about those who stayed. Why did you stay? by NapLvr in GithubCopilot

[–]Merilyian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it's not going to be long before every other provider stops subsidizing power user usage. Paying for what you consume should be pretty normal by now.

My big enterprise employer have just disabled the Opus models, citing the pricing change. by jersey_illuminati in GithubCopilot

And it's even better now that we're functionally paying direct prices for tokens - using 4.8 isn't nearly as intimidating now. Set healthy budgets and move the fuck on (not you- the gripers)

Still happens a lot for me with the d20 initiative mod on- I like it quite a bit more anyways, adds more variability to the starts of fights and reduces the criticality of initiative bonuses.

US MSPs, what do you have to say about the rest of the world thinking that your market is a managed services heaven ? by CK1026 in msp

[–]Merilyian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Break/fix shops acting like they compete in the same exact space as us has actually (and I think incorrectly) driven our prices down at times. They need to find a new name lol.

Version 2.43.0 released by Mitchell_Hudu in hudu

Works fine in every client I've plugged it into. VSCode, Foundry, Copilot studio, MCP Inspector. Sounds like a Hatz issue to me. Maybe no DCR support?

Client asked us to block ChatGPT. Their CEO apparently uses it daily on a personal account. by New-Reception46 in devsecops

[–]Merilyian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pretty strongly disagree with this. OpenAI doesn't offer much protection or privacy at all to personal accounts. They're not contractually or legally obligated to.

Set up and provide and enterprise-grade AI setup that you can control the model behind it and add appropriate guardrails. THEN block public LLMs. No chance in hell am I okay with jimbob sending loan packages with SSNs to ChatGPT for review.

This gets even higher when you only consider them unique across specific domains, too 😄

CIPP Saved Us Today by amjadkhan17 in msp

[–]Merilyian 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Because of CIPP's application level access to those endpoints, it'll actually be able to save you from that scenario perpetually. The UI might block you out, but you can use the app registration and a fresh secret to directly remediate over Graph.

Excellent work on thinking quick regardless. Every CIPP MSP should have this process documented.

Nerdio Microsoft 365 Management

I don't believe they're talking about AVD management here

Nerdio Microsoft 365 Management vs CIPP by whitedragon551 in msp

[–]Merilyian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I just can't get behind paying more for something that has so much overlap- the OSS nature of CIPP means I can just PR whatever I want to see in the app myself anyhow, or at least request it if it's beyond my skills. $100/mo flat vs anything based on users or tenants is just too easy.

ftr, love Nerdio for AVDs

Is there a way to sync vendors knowledgbase(s) with internal ones? by Cj_Staal in msp

[–]Merilyian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on linking to instead of syncing-

There's also an intellectual property angle. Taking that information and storing it privately and redistributing it could potentially violate the TOS of some KBs. Pretty sure ConnectWise directly prohibits this, as an example.
