They had their way long ago, you HAD to touch the power button. And Kent, my response is Marketing, who else? I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

But Microsoft won’t say if those zero-days were exploited to target its products, or if the company knows either way. Of course not.... their obvious culpability is going to get them on the one radar screen worse than them - the US Congress. MS' security is a joke. Worse, it's a criminal liability. Want to know when the earthquake will hit? When all s/w makers will be held liable. No more hiding behind the "you agree we have no idea if this will make you vulnerable..." bull$hit.

You can find a solution in recommendations X.215/X.225 ... :-) We did have a standardized solution to this 40 years ago, in 1984. But it was too ambitious - you couldn't give IT students a homework assignment of implementing the OSI Session Layer. You could have them making a primitive implementation of, say, (too) Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, (too) Simple Network Management Protocol or (too) Simple File Transfer Protocol. Besides, the Internet standards were freely available, while OSI specs were copyrighted and expensive. So the Internet Protocol Suite won the war against OSI. In 1984, you may say that OSI Session was overkill (considering resources available at the time). If it had been generally available for 40 years, we certainly wouldn't have considered it overkill today. There might be running implementations out there, even today, but I don't know of any.

You should generally avoid async void methods[^]. As per David Fowler's async guidance[^], you can either use Task.Run to push the execution onto a background thread, or call a Task-returning method and "discard" the returned task. Either option will allow exceptions to fire the TaskScheduler.UnobservedTaskException event[^] rather than crashing the application from the finalizer thread. In this case: internal class MainWindowViewModel { private MyEntity _data; private async Task LoadData() { \_data = await \_repository.GETDataAsync(); // TODO: Raise any "property changed" events to notify the view that the data has loaded. } public void WindowLoadedExecuted() { \_ = LoadData(); } } "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

Article wrote: the absolute number one piece of guidance I give is “make sure your work is visible”. A farmer had 3 chicken, that put the eggs every day in the very same basket alltogether. And everyday was the same, there were only 2 eggs. So he decided to pay attention. He decided to watch for some days and he saw always the same pattern, two chicken came out clucking out loud and the third one always left silently and run to hide somewhere in the backyard. The farmer was fully convinced. And got the third chicken and made a mulligan/hotpot with it. To his surprise (and regret) the next days the basket was totally empty. Moral: - Not everyone that clucks out loud has done anything useful - Make sure your performance is noticed, running silently to hide in the backyard can be really dangerous.

I have M365 account, as I buy " Microsoft 365 Family " for every 12-15 months. However, that sounds different than "M365 Teams account" which I don't know at all. Teams (Work or School) perhaps requires me to have a company's or a school's e-mail address. But I don't have such an e-mail address so far...

I see a lot of rhetoric and opinion in what you posted. Yes I have seen those same sort of opinions. But I like to see some data when I read stuff like that. Steve Naidamast wrote: It is already well documented and a known fact in the US employment market that graduating university students from US universities are not doing very well. Versus? In the US 50 Years ago? When there were a LOT fewer students even going to college? Seems like that would have an impact. Versus other countries? How exactly are you making those comparisons? Is there a world wide standardized test that I am unaware of? Which tests are you looking at exactly? Steve Naidamast wrote: As for the idea that many professional technicians are better trained than the majority of other workers does not strike me as really realistic considering the worsening problems with business web sites. First I specifically referred to education and not how well they could do a job in the market place. Certainly true when I went to college, more than 40 years ago, that the many Communications majors and Psychology majors were not in fact trained to do anything. Matter of fact I was not only told but had it technically demonstrated to me that an Electrical Engineer graduate could not make a commercial electrical product on graduation. The education provided did not make one production ready. Second, data on what you claim? How exactly did they compare 'worse' web sites with now versus some, as unspecified, time in the past? What I do know is that web sites are far more complex than even 10 years ago much less 20. And complexity, not knowledge, is going to have a substantial impact. I know this specifically because I am working with products (plural) that provide that service and quantify the problems.

So Salesforce is now going after Microsoft. Not sure how this helps the consumer. (Slack is owned by Salesforce.)

Sharepoint's "model" is hard to pin down. It's a web site with which you can create sub sites. You "invite" vistors or make the sites public. You share "documents": charts, Word docs, PDF's ... "anything" that doesn't "execute". The user creates SQL databases via "lists" (i.e. transparently). I used it to set up "client sites" that contained their reports instead of emailing, etc. "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen.
