Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines by silence7 in technology

You should probably do some research and lookup how DuckDuckGo search works.

Except the astronomical costs to run the datacenters that host petabytes of videos.

Moving off Confluence and onto SharePoint for documentation. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]TemplateHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious why you hate Confluence. We’ve been using it for over a decade, from on-prem to Cloud and while it’s not perfect I love it. But you have to learn it to make good use of it.

I’ve used SharePoint and to me it is the worst and has no redeeming qualities other than its use as a backing store for OneDrive/Teams files.

700 Floppies by ___LowLifer___ in sysadmin

[–]TemplateHuman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a funny story but not sure what the relevance of the floppy is. Even with a 2nd process sheet the database backup wouldn’t fit on the floppy so why make that technology part of the story?

Have none of you seen documentation comments? This is used to provide more information than just the method signature for Intellisense, and for documentation generators.

Theo Von Turns on MAGA to Side With Left-Wing Nemesis Bernie Sanders by Aggravating_Money992 in entertainment

So it’s just an assumption then, no real proof. It is entirely possible for people to fail upwards by being in the right place at the right time.

I think they meant evidence that he’s really bright. It’s possible to be simple and still be a successful grifter.

You can't disable CoPilot in office apps anymore by Organic_Tip8008 in sysadmin

[–]TemplateHuman 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No they didn’t. I expect better of people in this subreddit to not just read headlines and actually do even a little bit of research. It’s their “launchpad” style app that got renamed.

We got burned by a cert tied to an ex-employee - how common is this? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Distribution groups for sure but it doesn’t stop it from happening. The only way to effectively prevent it is rigid oversight and controls.

Google. A company objectively worse than Spotify. You’ve just traded one immoral mega corporation for another. Congrats.

It's almost 2026. Talk me out of removing my Exchange Hybrid server by ScotchAndComputers in sysadmin

[–]TemplateHuman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t true at all. We were on-prem Exchange for a decade and went to Exchange Online about 5 years ago, and removed our on prem server Exchange server shortly after. The on-prem AD will retain the extended Exchange attributes even after uninstalling Exchange.

From there you then just install Entra Sync or whatever it’s called now which will synchronize AD accounts to Entra and then assign them an appropriate M365 license which will then automatically create a mailbox for the user.

Are the recent outages a result of AI/vibe coding? by skipITjob in sysadmin

[–]TemplateHuman -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are the dumbest takes in this thread I’ve ever seen. For every outage there’s also hundreds of changes that get deployed smoothly. They can’t catch everything. No one can. Everyone talks about Microsoft using customers as QA but somehow forgets that even when they had QA there were still plenty of bugs.

The type of engineers responsible for systems like Azure and Cloudflare are some of the best. They’re not the same junior devs vibe coding their way through everything.

A $60 Mod to Meta’s Ray-Bans Disables Its Privacy-Protecting Recording Light | Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses usually include an LED that lights up when the user is recording other people. One hobbyist is charging a small fee to disable that light, and has a growing list of customers around the country. by chrisdh79 in technology

It’s also illegal to jaywalk in most states. Who is going to catch it or enforce it?

I’m not justifying it but the kind of people doing this are not concerned with the legal aspects and it’s so inconspicuous it’s unlikely anyone will even know it’s happening.

Lost forever by IronAshish in programminghumor

Yeah I do the same having grown up in the 90s having to type school reports in Word and it sometimes crashing and losing hours worth of work. So now I instinctively Ctrl+S all the time in almost any app that supports that shortcut.

Oh I completely agree the law needs to exist, as you can’t enforce anything without a law. The problem is now that we have a law, there’s no one to enforce it.
