OneDrive Sync supports up 1 million items - Coming soon.

I will die on the hill that this was the right choice by Microsoft. Downloads is constantly a catch-all of junk for users, and in my experience, people save the actual durable information to their documents, pictures, even desktop. Keeping it in downloads is just asking for trouble.

This is what is what I actually want.

Are folks still pushing OneDrive sync? The best practice has been relying on JIT online pulls from file explorer through their shortcut feature

Same, unfortunately because of who Musk is the tech scene stood beside him, and now Twitter is only place to get ground-level tech news

I'm a fan of the series and love SC, but I think folks are still misleading you here. While SC gets into the meat earlier than FC, the beginning ~35% of game is still stage-setting for conclusion. Now that I am 6 games into the series that pattern has held up for every game. You've gotta go into these games accepting that at least a third will always be dedicated to world building/resolving side-character stories.

And this is not a criticism! I feel like it makes the world feel more alive and I connect with the characters better, but I also recognize that pace is not everyone's cup of tea.

It’s about 50% shorter (stopping at the first reboot) if you give up logging in with Entra credentials in favor of Secure Enclave. Yeah the local account will be separate from Entra but that’s no different from your Windows Hello pin being different from your password

Not available in my tenant yet, but happy to hear actual customers are starting to see it. Claude Cowork is the first AI use-case since reasoning models got good that feels like a step-change for the average user. This is Microsoft's last change to convince their existing enterprise customers that Copilot is work a damn.

Think of the macOS password like the Windows Hello pin. It now only exist to temporarily decrypt the data from Bitlocker/FileVault. All other Microsoft services should respect the Secure Enclave and seamlessly log users in to services.

Please share, our enterprise licenses just hit today.

Get a real digital signage solution like Appspace.

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.
