    Seriously, this sort of thing should be a sign that #Windows is not "enterprise" ready. I had specific tasks to do today, but the update cycle prevented any of them from being accomplished.

    I can guarantee this is the best impromptu rant against Microsoft and their disdain for your privacy that you will watch today (from yesterday’s S’update):

    #Microsoft has this irritating 😠 pop-up in #Outlook to tell you how wonderful their new always-in-the-way search is. So far, it seems inadequate for a mid-sized inbox (mine is currently around 8,000 items, though it is time for another pruning), and probably gets worse for people with large inboxes (we have certain people who have over 100,000 items in their inbox).

    If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for.

    In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.

    @adcock No, I have not had any recent issues with #PulseAudio. Others have, but I've been using #Win10 or my #iPad for media playing and voicechat.

    I did have a #Windows issue where a chat could not find my microphone except during audio setup, but I think it was because #WinUpdate required a reboot.

    I was trying to audiochat with someone a week or two ago, using the #Win10 laptop. The chat system wouldn't pick up my microphone, even though the audio tuning phase heard and played back my audio. This is modern computing. #Windows cloning the #Linux #PulseAudio ("Why isn't this working?!?!") experience.

      Windows zero-day (not yet patched) is used as part of an exploit chain that also includes a Chrome zero-day (already patched).

    It's finally happened. For over a decade, seeing a #Windows update (either OS or application) has triggered an "oh, no, what's it going to break?" response. Now, #Android and #iOS do the same thing.

    Fun fact: I once ran JavaEmailServer on #Windows for my then employer's e-mail server. We were out of licenses, so Exchange wasn't happening (and when you get the "I want to cut over on Friday", you don't have time to figure out sendmail).

    @musicman if they’re using #Java, they’re probably going for cross-platform. It is less true than before, but even now, #Windows administrators prefer GUI tools, even when CLI / TUI tools are more functional and faster.
