HTH0043: Microsoft Viva Las Vegas

The STiffs return to podcasting after a very long week. The cloud has changed, Loop still isn't a thing, Viva and Entra are around, and Linux Mint vs Windows 11!


Extended show notes available at https://hthpc.com


Boot-up (AKA, "LAST WEEK, ON HOPE THIS HELPS")

  • It would be fun to do a "since we've been gone" run through of a high level overview of all of the things in tech that have happened…
  • Some things have changed, while others have stayed the same
  • Microsoft Teams External Access Flaw Poses a Malware Risk
  • Phishing emails
  • Red Hat in the hot seat
  • Jeff Geerling: I'm done with Red Hat (Enterprise Linux)
  • A Comprehensive Analysis of the GPL Issues With the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) Business Model
  • Loop (or: Loop: A Fiasco)
  • Loop vs OneNote vs Notion vs Whiteboard vs Miro
  • A Referendum on the Cloud in 2023
  • Correction: Multi-cloud talk was in HTH0041, not HTH0042.
  • It used to be all cloud, then it was hybrid, then it was multi-cloud, now we're going back to on-premise?
  • Hey: We're Leaving The Cloud
  • Annoying Teams thing of the week: "You'll need to shorten your message to send it"
  • I was pasting an Excel table, two columns, 53 cells
  • Yet you can post huge chunks of code far longer than that?
  • Microsoft Viva Las Vegas
  • Tiff is saving an Entra story for next time…
  • Stuff Tiff pasted into the HTH0042 show notes but we never got to discussing:
  • Create a profile container with Azure Files and Azure Active Directory
  • SharePoint Framework Client-Side Web Part Samples

    • Windows 11

    • Thoughts on Windows 11
    • Zune Software in Windows 11
    • Linux Mint
    • What the heck is up with the TPM requirements?
    • Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd
    • Feature updates called “moments”

      • Co-Pilots

      • Windows Co-Pilot, GitHub Co-Pilot, etc.
      • GitHub Co-Pilot's tendencies to suggest other people's code without credit or licensing
      • Remember Cortana?

        • The end of Windows?

        • Windows 11 Cloud

          • The Year(s) of Linux

          • In January 2022, Steve moved to Linux on his main desktop - Linux Mint
          • So far, nearly every app, feature, and core experience made the jump without much fuss
          • Linux Mint is very Windows-like
          • OneNote on the web just isn't there yet. I have a VM to run the Windows version (it doesn't work in Wine)
          • Mini-state of the Zunion: It’s capable of browsing files on a connected Zune device, USB passthru to VirtualBox works
          • Teams on Linux needs work
          • Asks for a login every time
          • Input/output sound devices get confused during calls - unusable
          • Just use teams.microsoft.com in a browser
          • Steam/Proton is fantastic for gaming
          • Should you do it?
          • If you're willing to put up with learning fast and researching community fixes
          • Most Microsoft-based stuff will work on Linux, with the exception of OneNote which is stuck being web-based (or use a VM)

            • Outro - "Plus Delta"
