Man all the recent news on Microsoft products is just god awful. Ads in the OS, forced updates, pestering people when they close apps to explain why, this. Fuck sake idk how people put up with it.
i know how. i do it for work, and have completely airgapped my home work life… so that windows work laptop, i honestly do not give 2 shits about the policies applied to it… its above my pay grade.
its only used for work, so if they want outlook to look at other work related 3rd party emails whatever… why the fuck should i care. its not my laptop, its not even technically ‘my’ work.
We got a security reminder at work yesterday that, in case anyone should do BYOD in a pinch, to never enter our credentials on a third party service like Microsoft Software, Google Mail or whatever. Open source clients on open source OS only. So yeah, some companies care.
Azure AD is now Entra ID. Please do not deadname the Microsoft cloud offering (even if we all think it chose kind of a dumb sounding new name 🤫).
And Microsoft is heavily pushing their cloud services of course, but you can still set up on-prem AD as an option as well as other on-prem services.
It’s just that all their cross service interoperability stuff won’t work as well if it’s not all in the cloud. Like, all their stuff is designed to work together in the cloud and keep you entrenched in the ecosystem, like any company I guess, except I actually like using Teams/Office/SharePoint combo, it’s executed well.
from the enterprise side, half their shit still only works if you have an ‘on prem’ AD server. there are a ton of their products that simply do not function if you are ‘cloud only’.
they are no where near prepared to actually automigrate complex directories into azure/entra… hell thats prolly why they changed the name, the 2 products will never have parity.

Seriously, I don’t get why people don’t understand this. Your work laptop is Windows? You’re concerned about them having access to private data?
Well buddy there’s an easy fix! DONT LOGIN TO YOUR PERSONAL SHIT ON YOUR WORK COMPUTER.

I don’t know why anyone is surprised. They literally invented EEE.
And linux is getting hood at gaming thanks to Steamdeck.
“I fucks wit Steam Deck.”
Aren’t they also migrating everyone’s AD to Azure (and SharePoint as well)?

Care to explain? Local AD is still there as is hybrid. On prem SharePoint still exists.
