My issue is that my Microsoft account has a long, random password that is saved in my password vault. I never have to manually type this in because I have it linked to the Microsoft Authenticator app. But if I try to RDP to a computer wit

That's interesting and seems like an easy work-around. Just create the first account with a Microsoft account, and then create your real account afterwards as a local account. Then delete the first account you created and you have no m

Using Windows with a Microsoft account introduces all sorts of issues that only power users tend to come across, and power users are who Windows Pro is targeted for. For example, RDP'ing to a Windows Pro computer with a Microsoft accou

Skype for Business is effectively end-of-life, although there is a current supported version of Skype for Business Server that some businesses are still using. Yammer is like "Facebook for companies". Teams is for your all your co

I'm surprised to see just about all comments here agreeing with you. I was sure there would be a whole bunch of people saying that Teams is fine for their use, but I guess I'm in a minority as I actually don't mind using Team

An interesting question, which the author raises, is why Apple's App Store reviewers should care about a copycat of a third party website or app that does not exist on the App Store. (I can understand them not wanting copycats of exist

Yep, that's why I was confused - seemed too easy to be fun. But I tried again today and it was much more difficult.

I don't understand how this works? It had a picture of _____, and the correct answer was ______. Is it just guessing the country name based on the shape? edit - hid my answer in case it wasn't as obvious to others.

I'm a proud gen-X'er but that article made no sense to me. Felt like it was generated by a cheap AI plucking current buzzwords in today's news.

This is the key quote for me: "...leaving many baffled as to why so much money is being spent on items that do not physically exist and which anyone can view online for free." I honestly do not understand the current state of NFTs

Yep - great summary of my current position. I also use the Classic Editor plugin but still let users toggle the setting if they choose too.

I have three Dell Optiplex micro PCs with vPro running Proxmox. It's so nice having full remote access to them, makes life so much easier.

I've been working with WordPress for a long time and have run a blogging network built on Wordpress since 2005-ish. Over the last few years, it's felt like I've been swimming upstream fighting against WordPress as they have t

This site doesn't seem to take bundles into account. I just had a look at The PiHut and they have some Pi 4 devices available if you're happy getting them as part of a bundle (e.g. case, power supply, etc). The rpilocator website

This is great as a general replacement for the `cat` command, especially with the `-n` argument to add line numbers.

I have several free G-suite accounts that I use for various domains and services, including one I've used as my primary email for 10+ years. But over the last couple of years, it's become more annoying using the G-suite free accou

M365 family doesn't let you manage users as part of one "organisation" in the same way that Google Apps does. It's effectively 6 copies of M365 Personal. And you can only add a vanity domain if you happen to manage it wi

Depending on your point of view, YouTube Music is far inferior to Spotify. The key advantage to Spotify is that they have apps for all platforms and have a much better integration story than YouTube Music. For example, I can stream direct

Same. Ad-free YouTube is essential for me, and getting YouTube Music as part of the bundle is a nice bonus. I have the family plan but my kids are always bugging me to get a Spotify family plan instead. If I do ever cave and pay for Spotify

I highly recommend reading this article about Graham's Number: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/11/1000000-grahams-number.html It's a fascinating read and actually makes you feel quite uncomfortable about the

The new PlexAmp music player from Plex has revitalised my music library on Plex. I would have agreed with your statement prior to using PlexAmp, but I now listen to way more of my old music library than before.

That's true, but I've also seen people say that NIST no longer recommend expiring passwords periodically, so we should just let passwords never expire (source: "Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arb

A great example of how much thought has gone into this can be seen with this paragraph: "Avoid giving directions like ‘none of the above’, as this implies a visual reference that may not be relevant for users of screen-reading software

The important part is that the NIST password advice is meant to be read as a whole. Often I see people quote snippets out of the advice, but unless you read and understand the whole document, you run the risk of reducing your security postu

As far as I'm aware, Microsoft are planning to continue with the LTSC versions for the foreseeable future. But I don't think it would be suitable for a home user - I'm not even sure how a home user can get hold of it? I'

I already use Pi-holes for local DNS and DHCP at home, but I'm still just using the default blocklist with a couple of extras added. Might need to spend some more time looking at this...

Technical nitpick - joining the computer to an Active Directory domain will also let you configure this, not just MDM.
