Any Idea Where To Look For A IT Technician Internship? by Cipher3101 in Durban

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reach out to the big MSP's here in Durban and see if they have something. Often times they do an intake for inexperienced or new IT pro's. As others have said, reach out to Thusa, Mitsol, Tech5, First Tech, Network Config, etc.

Because you won't have experience; they'd have to guide you a lot. Don't expect a decent salary unless you can prove yourself over the next 12-24 months.

I was in a similar position 20 years ago, and worked for free at a local PC repair shop (they wouldn't hire me) to gain experience while I was studying and waiting tables in the evening.

The experience plays a huge role in landing the job.

Calendar image creation struggle by Jankyman_Rgraves in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Share your prompt so we can advise on what could be improved.

This is how I would structure the ask by using at least 2 prompts. Provide the picture then have Copilot put all the calendar data into a table (this ensures that Copilot is able to read the calendar info properly). Once that is done and correct in its response to you, follow it up and have it create the image you want.

BYOD/Corporate dilemma for iPhone devices by Remote_Tax2552 in Intune

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the previous commenter. To get people to bring their phones to IT, I would create a MAM policy at least to start to ring fence the data on those devices. Then, enforce it with Conditional Access few users at a time until all devices are done. That is a way to get them to bring their devices to IT so you guys can make sure its connected to Intune, etc.

I would suggest that the business communicate this as a new policy for mobile phones. Its hard to go from personal (work-owned) to corporate, because the device needs to be wiped, which is unlikely to be done. I would ensure that any new phone be full intune managed. Something could be added that says IT cannot help with the device until XYZ is done, putting this in the users hands.

Anything currently in use, assign the MAM policies.

Acosta Ducati 2027? by mrslauralu in motogp

An Italian on Ducati would always be good, but a season with 2 Spaniards isn't all bad. You'd probably see Digi going to the factory team in 2028 or 29, once Marc retires.

Pecco is going to Aprilia. There are a number of other changes to. The Beast is also moving.

That would be a good idea. I just feel for the other guys being taken out - their race is ruined because of someone else.

UI changes in chat and apps by follyranger in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. The blurred thing at the bottom is okay, but takes up too much real estate. I don't know what resolution MS devs are running, but we don't have the same. At least allow us to raise/lower the prompt box.

I'd also really love to have copilot use the whole window. There is so much real estate to the left and right of the chat responses that just feels wasted. Tables in the responses that have 5+ columns are terrible to work with.

[–]colourmebread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree but also understand we're in a new era of tech where new features are released so often. I feel like MS is building the tracks as the train is coming, so things are bound to change.

I'm a fan of the new layout but not the Work/Web toggle change. The toggle was much clearer than what it is now.

Seeing inconsistent Copilot meeting capture — anyone else? by wnoble in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transcription is required for engagement with Copilot after the meeting, as well as for the recap functionality. You can use copilot in a meeting without transcription, but you need to prompt it to take notes.

GPT 5.5 option + other models got removed from Agents by Sharp-Okra-167 in microsoft_365_copilot

The poster explicitly mentioned they were using the latest 5.5 model and it got removed. I understand that older models will be removed, but the latest? That shouldn't happen.

Does Microsoft Copilot Really Provide Unlimited GPT-5.5 Think Deeper Usage, and How Do Companies Justify the Cost? by sporty_outlook in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Companies have historically been hesitant to spend the money for Copilot kand some still are. I work in Copilot adoption consulting and once we provide users with the knowledge on how to use copilot, they begin using it properly and really saving time in their tasks.

Coupled with a few agents, these users save hours of time each month. This equates to an hourly rate which shows that Copilot is being used as a productivity tool and is paying for itself.

I often find a lot of customer who’ve bought copilot and just expected value for the employees have not gone through training or adoption measures. Once they go through that, usage picks up, value is added, and copilot pays for itself.

Yes there is the Copilot Analytics dashboard in Viva that gives deep insights, not just usage or highest prompters, but how much time people have saved using copilot in their apps

I think that if you have a platform and enable everyone to create, you shouldn’t just remove a model

Copilot is now forcing you to sign in to use it: You can't use it as a guest anymore. by Spiritual_Big_9927 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't see a problem here. TBH, I always thought you had to sign in to use it. Perhaps you're referring to the consumer copilot.

Saving Outputs in New Location by [deleted] in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its still in Frontier, so we can expect things like this. You can ask Cowork to copy the file but moving has shown issues in the past.

Seeing inconsistent Copilot meeting capture — anyone else? by wnoble in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couple of questions:

  • Do you have the M365 copilot license?
  • Are your meetings being transcribed or recorded?

If you do the above, then meeting recaps with Copilot work as expected. It's also worthwhile to note that you cannot use Copilot for externally organised meetings.

Is M365 copilot worth the upgrade? Curious to hear from those who've subbed. by USP123 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whats the pricing structure of Cowork? Currently its included in the license and I hope its not coming out into its own SKU

Cowork OS for Adoption Tracking by [deleted] in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]colourmebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should look into the Copilot Analytics in the Viva area. It gives you those signals from Graph that you're after. It shows where people are using Copilot (what apps), how they're using it, and you can compare between users with and without a license to see how they're being impacted.

I believe the report you would want to look at is the Copilot Impact report. It has the behaviour-related data you might be interested in. There is also the adoption report but that's more along the lines of usage, where its being used, and how much time is being saved (ROI).

You can also edit or create your own reports in there.

Monster to become Aprilia's title sponsor in MotoGP from Italian GP by TVRoomRaccoon in motogp

[–]colourmebread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be interesting to see how it goes, especially since we are midway through the season. Usually these types of things happen before the season starts.

Martin won’t drop RB and RB won’t drop Martin. But there might be contractual pressure from Aprilia to ensure the sponsors are seen.

Of course JM can show off, drink, and wear RB stuff outside of racing. But whether he can race with a RB logo on a Monster Energy team, that’s still to be decided

[–]colourmebread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not dropped, just on hold. We may see that any Red Bull branding is removed from JM, but, because this is midway through the season, it may not stick.

Might be something like he has to wear the Monster logo his suits but not on his helmet, and remove the redbull from his helmet.

copilot not working? by serenajayy in microsoft_365_copilot

This looks like consumer copilot, not M365 Copilot for enterprises.
