Chipotle never beating the portion size allegations... not trying to be all "back in my day" but damn they stingy AF now (and have been for awhile)... reminded me why I don't go out to fast casual (or even out to eat) that often anymore...

Solid reasoning coming out of Microsoft’s DeepSeek R1 NPU Optimized distillation… “Wait, but in PowerShell, you can’t have a script with just one line unless it’s a single-line script” At least it’s fast? Sigh…

Wildly incorrect reasoning logic by the DeepSeek R1 NPU distillation released by Microsoft

If you play around with Lists or Arrays in #PowerShell here is a handy cheat sheet for accessing objects from your Array/List. More info is available here: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers... (thanks to Kevin Marquette for his thorough dive into arrays!). Apologies for the tiny text - link is above.

ChatGPT custom GPTs are great - super simple to put together and nice to bring in your own data/instructions!

You don't have to memorize everything in PowerShell. It's a bit of a different language. There are only a few things you really should consider memorizing. jordantheitguy.com/PowerShell/g...

Hey #PowerShell community - what sort of content or topics are you interested in learning about in “short format” blog posts? I’d like to generate some more relevant content for my blog and would like to know what is of interest from the community.

I don’t know what to think about the fact that 75” 4K LED TVs are selling for less than $600 brand new… like… is the tech really that cheap these days? Somehow I doubt it… data collection… has to be data collection…

Had a little bit of "FUn" with a capital FU in PowerShell playing around with regex. I took what I learned and did a little blog about it: z-nerd.com/posts/2023/1... By no means an extensive deep dive, but maybe it gives you something to play around with. #powershell #posh #pwsh #regex

FUn with Regular Expressions (regex) in PowerShell

Fun with a capital FU. I hate regex, but I always seem to find uses for it. Today we're going to have a little bit of fun, and give you some things to try on …

I’m cautiously optimistic about this platform… but my relationship with short message social platforms has changed in the months since I left bird app… how has everyone found this platform so far? What have you done to make sure your feed isn’t just a straight cesspool?

I can’t believe I wasted my first post on a dumb meme… actually I can. Anyone joining me at #MMS in Miami… you may have several chances to win one of these baddies… Join my AI for IT Pros session… or maybe donate to the raffle…
