Please wait...
From what i hear via some email traffic at the office, Dynamics 365 went down for a couple of hours.
Microsoft aside, that is what you get for relying on cloud services. You deserve unexpected down time.
We all know it wont happen, he's part of the protected class.
He just turned 69 years old (nice!). Statistically speaking, he will die before I do. And I will celebrate. For most ultra-evil people deaths, the "I'm not glad he's dead but I'm glad he's gone" trope is appropriate. It is in poor taste to celebrate the death of another human being. But when Bill Gates dies I will take an indulgence. He deserves to die, immediately and painfully. He deserves to be shredded alive in a wood chipper. He is more evil than Mao, Hitler, Obama, Stalin, etc. all put together. He is the enemy of the whole world.
Does your workplace suck like mine and forces you to use a Windows machine?
Are you unable to use the registry hack to remove Bing garbage from the Start Menu because it's overridden by Group Policy? Me too. But I think I finally found a workaround that actually works.
From a powershell prompt, as administrator:
Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Windows Feature Experience Pack" -Enabled True -Action Block
This seems to prevent the start menu extension that adds Bing garbage in the start menu from accessing its mothership.
We are slowly losing admin rights too. ( except for servers, and only if you are on the server team )
Now that they have turned on 'zero trust' crap ( i forget the brand name ), every exe you run has to be whitelisted, and if something needs extra rights, once ( if ) that is approved it runs. But 'general' rights, mostly gone. Not totally yet but i figured by summer.

People are getting 'upgraded' t windows 11 this week at office. It started late last week for a few unlucky people. Complaints are already starting, "this interface sux, i cant find anything" "i cant read any of these icons" etc.
Along those same lines, i guess MS is now sending out full screen ads to get you to upgrade your PC .. They forget to mention that Win10 will continue to work.. and even is supported for a while longer for those who have a PC before the arbitrary date they chose, to help their buddies sell computers since the last few generations are more than good enough.
Scumbags.
Need to create a virus that erases windows. Replaces it with Linux or something. Do everyone a favor.
The sheep don't know any better.
Fri Nov 22 2024 03:20:25 UTC from IGnatius T FoobarNaah, just toast the machine. Anyone who willingly installs Windows doesn't deserve a computer.
Cool. Some sort of MS outage today.
Glad im off this week so i don't care. No wait, even if i was working id not give a FlyingF....
"Microsoft is having issues, including delivery of email, why am i not getting calls created from my system, via email"
lol
And i know we are supposed to hate them too, but when was the last time Google had a nationwide ( as in more than on data center, tons of people, perhaps not all ) cloud outage, unrelated to telecom issues.

Microsoft has more cloud outages because they run their sites using Microsoft software.
Duh.
"we are sorry, it appears that your computer is not eligible for mandatory upgrade to windows 11, therefore we are disabling your computer at midnight tonight. You will regain access to your on-line Microsoft one-drive account once you upgrade. Thanks for choosing Microsoft"
I've got an old machine I brought home from the church, it was going to be thrown away but my wife rescued it from the trash so I could try to fix it.
It had been dropped. A couple of spare parts and a fresh CMOS battery later, it's back to life ... sort of.
Something about this machine (a Dell Inspiron 20 AIO) doesn't like Linux.
It just randomly locks up, unless I disable Intel SpeedStep in which case it just becomes unusably slow. So right now I'm trying it with its original Windows installation.
And it is giving me PTSD. Everything about this reminds me of my end user support days, many years ago. Windows machines loaded with crapware, unusably slow, starved for I/O bandwidth and memory. OpenMandriva Linux ran so beautifully on this machine, even at 4 GB memory, except for the lockups.
I am typing this message from a CMD.EXE window while uninstalling everything I can. I haven't decided whether to continue working on it or to just run it over with my truck. Truly I say unto you, it is a moral imperative that Bill Gates must be shredded alive in a wood chipper.
(Yeah ... Linux installed in about 20 minutes, booted in about 1 minute, and ran great. I wish I knew what made it lock up but I'm not spending any more time on this thing.)
