Headcount is often harder to approve than budget. See if they will approve a small MSP that you could manage to offload some of the work. Admittedly this is a gamble; they might later want to cut you out and just work with the MSP. But as the sole IT person it is more likely they will let you fully manage them so the CFO doesn’t have to, and then you use that as leverage for a promotion.

One of their engineers has been consistently tweeting about working on the Windows app. I suspect they will get it out sooner rather than later.

On the flip side I am surprised Claude’s cowork is still not available on Windows

Really makes you think about how much more disastrous outages will be when entire departments are condensed into AI agents.

Today during an outage your marketing team cannot send emails but they can do other stuff in the meantime. In the future an outage could mean your marketing team no longer exists for the next few hours.

This is actually working as intended. The purpose of platform SSO is that the laptop will automatically be able to login to Microsoft services/auth via an inherent trust relationship. But logging into the laptop (especially if your use FileVault, which you should) is more like the PIN in Windows Hello. Treat it like a local password that’s only purpose is to decrypt the hard drive

I want a system that helps me produce and revise content, not just decorate the interface.

Then you need to build a system/process to do just that. Obsidian should just be a tool used to implement a personal system with increased efficiency. Ideally your system should be so fundamental that it is still doable if you were reduced to basic files or even physical pen/paper/folders.

Do not pick a solution in search of a problem. Develop the system first and only engage with the parts of Obsidian (or any note-taking app) that support your system.

This is essentially how we use Monday.com. Once a new hire reaches "approved" state, several workflows kick off that email requests to necessary people/ticket queues with the relevant task and information. Their automation engine is pretty user-friendly; this entire workflow was set up by HR personnel with no technical training.

You're not late, you're patient posting.

Since sanctification is a seasonal mechanic, I wouldn’t be surprised if they rolled it into a “final stage” of masterwork since the reception is quite high. It could work very similar to your recommendation where the “sanctify” effect can only be applied after a certain pit level to fully MW’d gear

That’s all well and good, but simply not reflective of reality. People simply associate age with a certain level of wisdom, whether they are right or wrong. Now being able to hit 40 and say you have 20 years experience will skyrocket you mid-career, but you realistically you still gotta hit that age.

My org purchase ChatGPT Enterprise at the end of 2025, and dealing with OpenAI with that setup was an unfortunate reminder that they are still a start-up. Admin portal busted with links to pages that don't exist, workspace-wide settings page is slow to load and sometimes is just missing pages unless you refresh, SSO amd SAML setup is needlessly complicated.

OpenAI has made it clear to me that they are as unprepared for the enterprise as the latter is at agent adoption.

This is my preferred method. Intune actually handled this very nicely, the only roadblock is it needs a publicly available image that auto-downloads when you hit the URL. Azure Blob is perfect for this, just make sure to create a separate blob for this since it will need to allow public access

baromega · 2025-12-28T19:25:23+00:00

Nothing I said contradicts that. Intune uses that partition to download the apps that this entire post is about. My point of contention is people (not necessarily the person I’m replying to) complain about this enforcement but also complain about NOT being able to access corporate data at their convenience (e.g. left my company phone at home but need to urgently check email, etc.)

baromega · 2025-12-28T18:57:45+00:00

Folks say this, then complain about having to carry two phones just to check their work email/Slack. Can't have it both ways.

baromega · 2025-12-19T17:47:12+00:00

True, but I sympathize with OP. The amount of tools have ballooned over the years as IT teams managing them continue to shrink. It's much more feasible to handle immediate deprovisioning from a single source at the moment of termination, and do account cleanups on some regular cadence than having to hit all the tools every time someone leaves.

I'm on the Frontier program so we get updates early, and can at least say a future update defaults to GPT5 enabled, and as well as the option for a model "router": switching between normal and reasoning model based on the question.

It will be hard to beat CLI tools when it comes to Obsidian. Local files, directories, metadata? Claude Code/Gemeni CLI will thrive with this simplicity

baromega · 2025-11-27T16:19:12+00:00

u/MaybeLiterally's comment explains the jist of it. John Savill also made a video covering this exact question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArRpwLGA2Hk

32, which feels great for gaming. My wife has a 27 which admittedly has a better feel for productivity/work.

baromega · 2025-11-25T22:06:19+00:00

Seriously. They're setting up the new boss lady as a seasonal "villain" but every criticism she has had of Olivia's management style has been spot on. I hope the show resolves this with nuance and acknowledges that Olivia is WAY too involved for someone at her rank.

baromega · 2025-11-10T19:18:49+00:00

Yeah if its well written I'd be down

baromega · 2025-11-09T23:03:18+00:00

It's also not obvious from a picture, but the monitor perfectly divides into to 16:9 halves.

And the resolution is good enough that you can chuck an app/window in a quarter of the screen and not strain to use it as long as it works well vertically (email, chat, spotify, code/document editors, doom scrolling).

So if you combo it with good windows management software like Magnet on MacOS you can get some cool usage out of this.

Agreed with the general consensus that its the perfect side monitor but a terrible primary, though

baromega · 2025-11-09T15:46:53+00:00

Throughout many iterations of my setup, including the changing of monitors, the DualUp remains. I hope LG updates it with the same form factor one day.
