Administrative controls are for the dutiful, compliant and circumspect. Always assume you are working to solve every human error or mistake possible (not rational, we're talking junkie and meth head) and expect negligent, criminal and destructive action. Think about this: How many business' doors aren't self closing? How many trains have you been on that don't have automatic doors? When was the last time you rode an elevator with a gate and attendant? The door closing thing is a serious oversight.

Imagine working in an organization that believes hyperconvergence is the key to efficiency and cost savings. Email? Microsoft, hosted. Team collaboration? Microsoft, hosted. Telephone? Microsoft, hosted. Storage? Microsoft, hosted. Compute? Microsoft, hosted. DHCP? Microsoft, hosted. DNS? Microsoft, hosted. On and on. You get the idea. Luckily, I'm the network guy and can just say "It's Microsoft. Again" over OOB channels, of course, because what wasn't working? Every in band communication channel.

Eventually the models will be trained and those jobs will dry up. AI will not have to be babysat forever. Plus, it's not like any Indian call center really ever offered empathy, judgment, and the ability to calm down some marching moron that broke a nail. Maybe professionally trained LLM results will be more palantirable palatable.

Comment Pandering to us. (Score 2) 19

Just what we need, another abomination. An amorphous blob to misguide and misinform for profit. I unfortunately expect this atrocity to be added into M365 products to further patronize professional users. I am so disgusted by advertisements and cute-ification of their lackluster professional products. I've got one Windows machine left in my personal fleet and it's about to get dumped and replaced by Linux or a Mac.

Comment Release the charging tether (Score 2) 89

I got an Nexus 5 years ago with Qi wireless charging and strategically placed charging pucks on my desks at home and work, nightstand and car console, later replaced the 5 with a Nexus 6 and added in a Nexus 7. Never worried about battery, just put the phone down whenever I was in those places. Why this hasn't caught on is beyond me. I'm sure it will become the Next Big Thing as soon as the fruit company releases it, but I am also sure that they will make their own proprietary system.
