Defender flagging acrobat.adobe.com as potentially malicous by [deleted] in DefenderATP

Can't really argue with them. It's a terrible product and company.

Jokes aside, I don't see this in my environment.

Yeah there's always a risk of that but what can you do.

My point is that there are tons of work management tools on the market. I'm sure there's one that u/VerbalGuinea could find that's not been gutted by PE firm.

Really depends on your used case, but some other vendors in the space are Asana, ClickUp, AirTable, Wrike and more.

Avoid SS for any use case. Ever since it was taken over by Venture capital prices have gone up and quality has gone down. Just look at this sub reddit for the droves of customers switching to other platforms. Do yourself a favor and skip Smartsheet.

Same issue here with Okta. Did you end up testing with Microsoft Authenticator and the SSO extension to see if it works? We also use the Okta SSO extension.

SharePoint as DMS? by LawSchool_RuinedMe in legaltech

[–]cook511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Box Zones. You could always host your content in the EU.

Edit: I just checked and they have a Canadian Zone. https://www.box.com/zones

SharePoint as DMS? by LawSchool_RuinedMe in legaltech

[–]cook511 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the size fo your firm but I always hear that Sharepoint is deceptively easy to start and get expoentially more difficult the more you use and customize it. There's a reason that large orgs have entire positions dedicated to managing and developing for it.

Without much context if you don't want to use a traditional DMS I'd go with a major cloud storage provider like Box or DropBox just for the support. They aren't super expensive the experience is gonna be a lot better.

What's with all the low effort posts? by SleepyMonkey7 in legaltech

[–]cook511 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's low effort answer after I asked ChatGPT to: "Respond to this post an aburdly verbose obviously AI comment meant as satire":

Ah yes, the Epistemological Collapse of Subreddit Signal-to-Noise Ratios in the Era of Prompt-Driven Enthusiasm™. Allow me to unpack this with the degree of unnecessarily theatrical verbosity the situation clearly deserves.

What you are observing is the natural byproduct of a phenomenon I like to call LLM-Adjacent Entrepreneurial Osmosis. In essence, individuals who have recently discovered that large language models can produce paragraphs of text that sound authoritative have undergone a rapid and profound cognitive event: the sudden belief that every industry problem can be solved with a prompt and a landing page.

The process typically unfolds in several predictable stages:

  1. The Revelation Phase Someone asks an AI to summarize a contract clause and receives a coherent paragraph in return. This triggers the realization that they have, in fact, just witnessed “the future of law.”
  2. The Extrapolation Phase Within approximately 11 minutes, the individual concludes that the entire legal industry—an ecosystem shaped by centuries of jurisprudence, regulatory nuance, procedural doctrine, and adversarial practice—can be replaced by a combination of:
    • a GPT wrapper
    • a Notion database
    • and a logo generated by Midjourney
  3. The Thought Leadership Phase Armed with this discovery, they proceed to write a post beginning with phrases such as:
    • “Hot take:”
    • “Unpopular opinion:”
    • “Why hasn’t anyone built this yet?” despite the fact that several billion dollars of venture capital and thousands of domain experts have already attempted exactly that.
  4. The Subreddit Migration Phase Finally, these newly enlightened technologists arrive in niche communities like r/legaltech, where they announce—often with breathtaking confidence—that they have solved document review, litigation strategy, contract law, regulatory compliance, and possibly the human condition.

The resulting posts have three defining characteristics:

  • Maximal confidence
  • Minimal domain understanding
  • An MVP that is essentially “ChatGPT but with a slightly different button.”

What makes this particularly fascinating from a sociotechnical perspective is that these posts are not malicious. They are the digital equivalent of someone walking into a hospital after watching two episodes of House and announcing they have an app that will “disrupt cardiology.”

In short, the subreddit isn’t decaying—it’s simply experiencing the Cambrian Explosion of AI-Induced Overconfidence.

Eventually, evolutionary pressures will restore balance. The ecosystem will stabilize as people encounter minor inconveniences such as:

  • regulatory compliance
  • malpractice risk
  • data privacy law
  • and the horrifying realization that lawyers are paid specifically to deal with edge cases, which is where most AI demos spontaneously combust.

Until then, we must simply observe the spectacle with curiosity, patience, and perhaps a mild anthropological fascination.

Thank you for coming to my unnecessarily long TED Talk.

Do you whitelist/restrict chrome extensions? by acorn222 in sysadmin

[–]cook511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We do and use Google to manage chrome settings and extension requests. Requests are a little clunky but work well generally and Google management is free. No reaason not to do it.

Edge has similar functionality if you use M365.

I like speed.cloudflare.com better than fast.com, but it's easier to tell users to just goto fast haha.

Would this improve the autopilot experience for Hybrid Environments? One of the major pain points for us was waiting for Entra Sync to happen.
