Based on my discussion with DSEs, enterprises have not been impressed in the results of "Copilot", i.e. OAI models. MSFT has been replacing (or changing the default) to Claude across a variety of Copilot endpoints.

Microsoft has this built-in using Claude models (for M365 Copilot licensed users). I don't know why you'd use this as an M365 subscriber in an enterprise. I'm sure there's some edge cases, but MSFT has been moving away f

The point in the article is that 'debloating' does nothing for performance. And they're right. Uninstalling things you don't run does nothing for performance. Background tasks largely don't interfere with foreground

That makes absolutely no sense. 'vim' wasn't designed for multi-user use. Nor was emacs. Applications don't need to somehow be "designed" for multi-user systems. It's up to the underlying system to enforce

You’re correct.

While a thief or LEO could boot the OS, just having the motherboard doesn’t give them access to the underlying data. They would need to have a valid user account.

Funny enough, I do read the Copilot Studio and Dynamics Customer Service and Power Platform documentation and understand it. But reading documentation from any vendor is a skill. Don’t throw me in front of Google or Oracle documentation an

Why would you put Grandma on VeriCrypt in the first place? It's the more 'difficult' option for FDE.

What does this even mean ? It's like throwing around the word 'bloat'.

I only have experience with the M365 enterprise services. I don’t use M365 for personal stuff, I’m too cheap for that.

I have plenty of users using it for real productivity purposes. Yes, it has access to Exchange Online calendars.

You’re using the wrong app. You need the M365 Copilot app which supports Entra IDs.

If you put me in front of AWS I'd have the same reaction. Or GCP for that matter, where I did have your reaction. It's familiarity and knowing how the beast operates. I know how to read the docs and understand the licensing. Any o

This isn't all that accurate. Unless Chrome only presents the private working set, this will include shared or sharable memory.

This is nothing new for any browser, unless you believe in the mid-late 2000s Chrome was being "slowly deprecated by the industry" for sites that refused to work with Chrome. These are just lazy developers, or developers who don&#

It's no different from NT in that respect. macOS is significantly worse at handling OOM events than NT (even NT4, for that matter).

You never had GlobalProtect take a multi-Gbps connection down to <20Mbps due to all that userland processing of packets thanks to Apple's lack of vendor kext.

No, they're not "better positioned" to utilize memory. NT has a far better VMM than macOS does and handles OOM significantly better than macOS (and Linux, for that matter). Look no further than the various Mac subreddits for

Early macOS also had rollup windows. I greatly prefer that to minimized windows in macOS, which are impossible to quickly access outside of the mouse or unminimizing all windows with a key combination which I can't remember.
