I don't want my internal network to have our IPv6 address from our ISP. An ISP can change your IPv6 address at any time, they could go out of business, they could be acquired, etc. Then what? I have to change the internal addressing for the entire company? Nah. The IPv6 address from the ISP can exist on their side of our demarcation point. I'm not going to number things internally if that number can be revoked.

Funny how there are people who defend the ROI of a CEO being in the millions, allegedly because they do something that a 5 dollar wrench could not. Meanwhile, as you point out, this super mega amazing CEO's needed their hands held to not paint their own company in a negative light.

Is it me, or is there not a single citation on that page that goes back to Microsoft? Do you perhaps have a link to said publishing?

Seems like babysitting to me forcing companies to make it easier to cancel a subscription. Is the public really that slow where they can't figure how to stop a sub?
To the anti-government-at-all-costs crowd..
There's a reason I want the government to interject in some B2C matters.
Gone are the days where you can just show up to an unethical or immoral business owner and tar and feather them, or worse. If the government says I cannot take a hammer to the leg of the company who just hangs up every time I try to cancel a service, then I expect the government to do for me what I am not allowed to do.
Pick one.

I'm not downplaying the malice that can come from a compromised WHOIS setup. Not at all. My comments were about how I don't think CA's should be relying on WHOIS to begin with. There are better ways than relying on WHOIS. From the article and summary:
One of the greatest was the ability to dictate the email address certificate authority GlobalSign used to determine if a party applying for a TLS certificate was the rightful owner of the domain name the certificate would apply to.
Just use a DNS record to dictate the same email address list(s).

Also I don't agree that WHOIS is totally to blame. CA's that want to use email verification should have the domain side of the email address locked. That's what a few CA's for wildcards do. No WHOIS lookup. You want a CA for example.com? They aren't asking a WHOIS to see if example.com is actually managed by billy@yahoo.com. Your options are admin@example.com, webmaster@example.com, or pick another method such as a DNS entry.

I have the same overall issue as you - they haven't even hit feature parity with "Settings" after like 10 years, but want to yank control panel. This is par for the course for many companies these days. Version 2.0 is here! We are going to switch next month! Even though Version 2.0 is missing about 50% of what version 1.0 had...

Your local backups are worthless.
businesses that now depend
Businesses use backups that actually give you a file that isn't just a shortcut. See AFI, Datto, Spanning, etc. And then some businesses make sure mission-critical spreadsheets have CSV backups.
Civilization is doomed.
Huh, alright. My tenure at our company (using Google Workspace since 2011) has been smooth, and my bank account/life feel like the opposite of doom, but okay.
