@merill.net Hey, Merill. Do you know anyone on the Edge team? We really need a standalone Edge object in Conditional Access Policies so we can prevent users from logging in and syncing their Edge data (like passwords and secrets) from home and other unauthorized devices. :(

With CoreUtils now having a Microsoft-official version on Windows, I wonder if it will ever be included out of the box without any additional install or download.

The head of the U.S. Department of Justice should be an elected official, with elections every 8 years, with minimum qualification requirements. The Department should be considered on the same level as the White House, with the Department no longer reporting to the President in any capacity.

The problem is that there are not many government types that can withstand a bad electorate. We voted for Trump. Bad enough. We voted for a House to support him. Worse. We voted for a Senate to support him. Worst. Congress is empowered to help Trump.

Microsoft is testing Edge opening automatically every time time Windows 11 restarts. lol Microsoft hasn't learned shit. Every one who recently thought Microsoft turned a corner has been made a fool.

"We need to always be updating processes to be more efficient" are a cancer on well being, stability, proficiency, expectation, and predictability. They think people get good at their jobs by always changing -- and I'm sorry to report that isn't the case. People get good from repetition.

The Notepad vulnerability from a couple of months ago is wild. I remember talking about this in like 2005. What the hell is going on inside Microsoft? "𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑏_140170𝐹60() ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑛 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠. 𝐼𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑆ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙𝐸𝑥𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑒𝐸𝑥𝑊() 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙."

GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all
As of April 24 you'll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out Microsoft's GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models.…

I wonder if the constant emergency fixes dispirit Microsoft employees doing this work, or if their reaction is more along the lines of, "Oh well, just part of the job."

New today: our customers really, really hate that we switched from humans to an AI agent answering our "main" phone number. The objective data says it "is working very well and answering 97% of questions successfully," but our customers are telling a completely different story.

This week, we launched Vida.io to act as a receptionist for incoming calls to our organization. Mixed feelings: 1. About 25% of calls go very well; about 50% are fine; about 25% have significant issues. 2. Expensive. 3. Reliance on API and not many built-in features.

I'm managing Windows 10 IoT NVRs with Ansible instead of Active Directory because we don't want domain controllers talking to untrusted NVRs. It works, but boy, deploying settings with Ansible to Windows devices is slow as hell. Each setting takes about 3 seconds per device. It's because of WinRM.

Microsoft has really dropped the ball with Windows 11. There are school districts choosing *Linux* going forward. Unbelievable to see in real life. This will eventually erode Entra and Azure, too. Without that tight OS integration, there's little reason not to go with other cloud solutions.

I don't know if the narrative is true that Microsoft is "replacing developers with AI," but regardless, what will be the incentive for future Microsoft employees to create efficiencies if they're afraid they'll eliminate their own jobs?

@merill.net let's say I make a Conditional Access Policy that grants access only to device objects that have certain values in certain attributes (so device filtering). How difficult is that for an attacker to spoof? An attacker can't "pretend" to be a device to gain access, right?

@crh.bsky.social does your Microsoft 365 seller have any access to your tenant? We are looking to migrate from SHI which is an EEA to another provider which is a CSP. And they seem to want access to our tenant "to provide support." But I want nothing like that. But do you allow it?

@crh.bsky.social you told me this but I can't remember. If we have password writeback enabled and I want a user to be able to successfully change passwords, which portal should be used? Isn't there some subtle differences between, say, the Entra ID portal and the 365 admin portal?

Not gonna lie: if the "no tax on tips" provisions go through, I'm going to cut my tips by at least half. I've been having somewhat negative feelings about over-tipping for a while, and this would add to it.

Prime example of AI feeding AI bullshit. Google's AI search results incorrectly say that Mediant SBC supports ACME. When asking ChatGPT the same question, it Googles the answer, which results in ChatGPT also having the wrong answer. They even both reference the same manual. lol

This probably goes without saying, but don't let AI tell you what to buy. We had a project where we used ChatGPT to recommend items to purchase for a video/studio setup. We went back and forth with it for literal weeks. And 70% of its recommendations were flat-out terrible or wrong.
