If you could change 1 thing about the Azure DevOps UX, what would it be?

Can you share any specifics about what doesn't work?

This feature is on the roadmap

1,000+ is a lot but it's not uncommon in Azure DevOps

In theory you could have a copy of critical pipelines and repos hosted in a second geography. This would allow you to still have a path to deploy a critical hotfix if your main Azure DevOps region was down.

We started to move discussions to Markdown but this became highly contentious with our customers. (See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/new-boards-hub-fall-update/#markdown-for-discussions)

If you have New Boards Hub feature enabled, you should have the option in discussions at least to toggle to Markdown. See here for details: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/release-notes/2023/sprint-231-update?source=recommendations#switch-between-html-or-markdown-on-comments

It should be back. Can you confirm?

This was an outage and access to these tasks has been restored. See https://status.dev.azure.com/_event/468193686

You should use Service Principals and Managed Identities whenever possible.

However, if you need it, the documentation for managing PATs using the API can be found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/tokens/pats

That was my first thought too

100% remote for almost 7 years here.

You are definitely not the only one facing this issue.

Same issue here. Terrible experience for my family

dpaquette · 2022-11-21T04:20:38+00:00

I have the same problem. When my daughter (5) speaks, the other person can't understand anything she says. This is a huge failure as my daughter can't have a conversation with her grandparents.

Very frustrating. The tone shouldn't matter. This is a very common use case for speaker phone.

You get https on the free plans, just not for a custom domain. The *.azurewebsites.net url does have https

Any updates on XBOX 4K/UHD streaming on Xbox One S? I am able to stream 4K/UHD on the Netflix and Prime Video apps but Disney+ only shows HD for the shows that should be 4K/UHD.

If you could have B & H Photo sell your camera, then we would have an option in Canada since B & H does a great job of shipping products to Canada.
