Comment Re:Corporate Suicide (Score 1) 317

We would! We are a pretty small startup with a couple million in revenue (and are in the black quite healthfully!), and we use Office 365 though and though. OneDrive, Teams, Dynamics, etc. I have to tell you, it's awesome. The price/feature mix is really, really good, and saves an insane amount of time. I compare it to the traditional IT model of my last place, and it's no contest. We host our app on Azure as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Comment Re:Surface 2 (Score 1) 138

I'm not so sure. I'm typing this comment on a Surface Book, and I have to tell you, I really, really like it. I've used the Book for 2 years now, and it's been great--excluding the first couple months of firmware updates. It's fast, has a great form factor, has a rad touchpad, the screen is good, and it's cool to handwrite notes (I do way better with memory retention when I hand write, vs. typing notes; go figure). It's my daily driver and I run my business from it. I'd definitely like the 2, just for the quad-core.

Comment VPN suggestions seem... no better? (Score 1) 72

I see a bunch of comments suggesting that it's dumb to expose RDP to the internet, and if you had just used a VPN... But this isn't an RDP (which is encrypted) exploit... this is brute forcing the password. If you can brute force the RDP account, then why couldn't you brute force the VPN credentials?

Comment Re:The Entitlement Mentality is wrong. (Score 2) 263

Uhh, do you really hear yourself? I mean, there is no way to be in your position without some serious cognitive dissonance, because it lacks any sense of logic. I mean, if you don't like what they are doing or how they are doing it, uh.... don't participate. It's not like you have some sort of inalienable right to *entertainment* that is produced by someone else's hard work and investment. We aren't talking about food or shelter here. Just come out and say "I like to steal because it's best for me" and skip all the rest of your total BS. At least you'd be honest with you.

Comment Re:More or a process problem than a tool problem (Score 1) 189

Couple ways to do this: 1. Hire a good scrum master and/or product owner. They'll have the experience to train and coach you into shape as a team. There is no PM. 2. Get a good book. Essential SCRUM is amazing. 3. Go to a real training. Ways to not do it: 1. Watch a 15 minute youtube video and think you can do it successfully. 2. Break all the core scrum rules.

It's weird to me people struggle with this... it's so easy. 1. Here's what I did since the last standup 2. Here's what I plan on doing until the next one 3. Here are barriers or impediments that are stopping me. Each thing from item 1 and 2 should have some simple artifact you can point to. It should take less than 3 mins a person.

Comment Re:Seems like Microsoft isn't ready for USB-C (Score 1) 293

For me, it's the ubiquity of it. Until I bought a PixelXL, I only had to carry a single type of cable with me. It got used for EVERYTHING. I've got a lot of random micro-USB stuff. Now I have to remember a special cable for that one device, and it doesn't work on anything else. Don't get me wrong, USB-C is cool and has great advantages, but until there's actually an ecosystem around it, it's just an annoyance for me.
