HTH0043: Microsoft Viva Las Vegas Hope This Helps - A Tech Podcast

    • Technologie

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"
