  • Maybe you responded to the wrong person? I didn't talk about price but yeah M365 is paid monthly. Mostly, you can get annual licenses with a bit of a discount.

    But an exchange online license is only $4/month ;)

  • I've tried all of them but none of them are quite as fully featured as the M365 platform. That's really where they get you. It offers MDM, MEM, email, account control, file shares, antivirus, patch scanning, group policy, and countless other things all under one platform.

    None of those are really a whole ecosystem.

  • I agree with everything you said but it's "Entra", not "EntreID"

  • In my experience troubleshooting OneDrive issues is usually just restarting the OneDrive application or resyncing SharePoint sites

  • IT absolutely does still have to manage those things though. At my company we have all sorts of obscure boxes controlling things like diagnostic readers and CNC machines. Things that the mechanics/engineers [imo] should be able to manage, its still on us.

    Plus they usually still want those things to access the internet (because they require it) or access to file shares (to get gcode files and whatever) which is firmly an IT task

  • This is my biggest thing. How come nobody really has any MDM or MEM for Linux? One that actually offers everything that Intune does.

    Hell i even use AD (Yes Microsoft Active Directory) on my Linux servers because it actually works

  • And imagine how much more handholding it'll require when you fundamentally change everything about their computer lmao

  • "competency" in IT is more about your skills with the tools your company is using. My current company only has one super minor server running Linux so even if someone so advanced with Linux they make Richard Stallman look like a M$ shill wouldnt be a competent engineer in my infrastructure.

    I do get what you're saying though and I wish more things would move to Linux in general. It's much nicer to manage.

  • Yeah now it's all about navigating obscure web pages that mysteriously change every few months haha

  • Obsidian is not a great replacement for OneNote. I tried switching but there's a bunch of things like sharing pages (and no, emailing documents doesn't count), easy syncing between all platforms (Syncthing doesn't work at all on iOS and was kinda finicky on other things, and git is just not a valid option), it doesn't do super well when embedding images or PDFs, doesn't have the same advanced hand writing stuff, and probably some other things that I'm forgetting.

    OneNote is basically the only thing besides email that I can't find a good self hosted alternative. And I've been looking trust me. Obsidian is great if all you need is note taking on a desktop, but that's about where it ends. Or if you want to pay for the subscription and cloud storage, I would imagine it'd work fine.

  • Actually this was a huge update. Shared mailboxes are extensively used at any company I've been at so being able to just open a shared mailbox without having to dig through 93744847 folders or opening another mailbox is a great addition.

  • Yeah exactly. Nobody actually "hacks" anymore. They just send Pam in accounting a funny email

  • It actually does now. Your M365 license also includes a windows license.

  • These days it's really about managing SPF and DKIM records. But I usually tell people just "use an email provider". It doesn't have to be a big one or anything, just someone else because email is an enormous headache and it's just frankly not worth it.

    Even if you set up all of your records correctly, every other email provider is going to look into the reputation of your email server and a lot of them will still filter your stuff into junk mail because its 99% of people running their own email server are using it to serve junk mail.

  • Look im an IT guy, and enforcing 2FA for all accounts at our company directly caused at least 2 people to quit at my company.

    People are enormously resistant to change. It doesn't even matter if it actually impacts their job or anything, they will freak out and complain.

    Hell 2 weeks ago I added a 3rd AP to one of our offices and just the act of moving the APs around caused enough of a disturbance that HR heard about it. And that was me giving them better internet! There wasn't even any downtime! I just moved the things that sit on the ceiling and nobody notices!

  • Anecdotally but I think your map has coke coming up a bit too far. That really falls off by northern Tennessee unless you're in a particularly rural area.

  • 4k is absolutely an upgrade over 1440p. I have two of them (an LCD and an OLED) and I absolutely love them in every game I play. I will admit that I'm in the super minority and because of my work history I've spent a lot of time looking at a lot of displays so I'm more sensitive to various artifacts than the normal person. And in games I always prefer looks over resolution, it needs to drop down to like 40fps or lower for me to start changing settings.

    Basically, it was worth it for me but probably won't be for you. OLED is a significantly actual upgrade. You should get an OLED it'll change your life.

  • Which would be easier if you were a dev making your own game than if you were making a mod for an existing one no?
