I think this is currently the one to beat. It's pretty even if you're used to OLED.

I just got the AYN Thor Pro for my viewing and dicking around pleasure.

Wait. Wut? What was the 3DS accessing over SMB?

Because SIP traffic continues going through their servers, the earlier-described "delay" occurs in transferred calls, too.

Web interface is bare-bones. You better have another system to interface with it via API.

IAM is lacking: no SSO, basically no RBAC, and no significant user-permission levels.

Calls seem "delayed," as in there is a significant lag between when a caller asks a question and the AI agent responds.

It frequently abruptly hangs up on the caller.

Even after calls are transferred, SIP traffic continues going through Vida's servers, despite what Vida says.

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 did not realize "Request Files" was even a feature in SharePoint and OneDrive. Enable the feature via PowerShell:

Set-SPOTenant -CoreRequestFilesLinkEnabled $True

SPOTenant -OneDriveRequestFilesLinkEnabled $True

Microsoft is considering making an E7/A7.

Meanwhile, here *we* are considering considering reverting to E3/A3 to save money. lol

"Disabling NTLM represents...a critical step toward a passwordless, phishing resistant future"

Will I be able to use passwordless between 2 devices point-to-point?

SharePoint should have a write-only ("blind write") permission. It would help make automations safer.

It's legally meaningless but might still provide some explicit warning to users in some circumstances, in case there is any ambiguity about license intent.

More Microsoft layoffs coming. Sounds like a big one.

My understanding is there is now some beta/low-support functionality in Ansible for SSH-based deployment of settings to Windows devices, and it's faster, but it seems to be very immature at this point. Today, WinRM still seems to be the preferred way to manage Windows devices via Ansible.

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.

Nintendo buying a Bandai Namco studio would've been a much bigger story back in 2005.

I was looking for something else on BlueSky and came across this post. Holy shit, that post was made by me. lol Where is the screenshot from? I remember writing it but not where I wrote it.

It appears Chrome may finally get JPEG XL support, although it sounds like Google wants someone outside of Google to actually provide the code for it.

...and runs a setup process that looks amazingly similar to the one that occurs on first boot after Sysprep. It displays messages indicating that it's "setting up devices" and similar.

In fact, the first time I saw it, I thought Sysprep generalization must be automagic now, but I don't think it is.

I've wondered for a while why Windows doesn't just automatically regenerate the secret stuff when it does the "initial setup" process after being cloned without Sysprep.

Sometime in the Windows 8-era, something changed where, if you clone an image, Windows now "detects" that it's on a new device...

At least for my org, AWS seems to be deteriorating. We have less online now than at 7 AM ET this morning. In fact, more was functional an hour ago.

Yep, which is why we should be bypassing ALL of this nonsense and just have healthcare singularly operated, funded, and regulated by government.

I am convinced that America won't ever get there, though. Too many young people are brainwashed in the U.S., even worse than boomers.

AWS is an almost unique parasite:
--It has become too big to fail.
--It has eliminated or reduced millions of local jobs.
--It still costs organizations more than the local jobs would have cost.

I'm gonna listen to it later, but did you happen to go over the new feature where Kerberos can be used between 2 devices without a domain controller (or similar)? And an ETA?

I ask because I am actively transitioning to Entra-only environments and being left with more NTLM than when I started. lol

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?

Who in their right mind would keep their data in the EU after this? This seems like such a catastrophic self-failure that it could lead to serious financial ruin in the EU.

Congress isn't the root of the problem. The root cause is the American people. You cannot put leaders in place who TELL YOU that their plan is to dismantle the United States, almost every election for the past 30 years, and think the U.S. will survive.

America has a culture problem.

Legit looks like Musk.

@crh.bsky.social weren't you forcing MFA on logon of Windows at one point? Did you ever get it done?
