Oh wait, what am I thinking?! My bad. It is of course VITALLY important that corporations know which hand I use to wipe my arse on Tuesday at 5pm each August.
Forever.
Sorry, don't know what came over me. My commie tendencies come out when I'm not drinking heavily.
MS is moving everything to Azure. AD and SCCM are outdated. Long outdated. Azure is cloud. Office is cloud. Dynamics is cloud. Power Apps is Cloud. Teams is cloud. Sharepoint is cloud.
Everything that was once local, department and enterprise deployed and controlled by the administrator you could call within your office, has all gone cloud. This means MS can change the terms of service any time they want. And do anything with your data and what are you going to do about it? Your lawyers vs their lawyers? Get real. And your once useful admin is now at the mercy of the cloud as well. "Sorry, cloud is down, can't fix it and nobody to call".
Oh I know, you can just use something else! Oh wait, no you can't, because you're irretrievably sunk deep into MS and since nobody really created demand for an alternative, none really exists.
Suckers.
Hyperbole? LOL. Did you just fall off the turnip truck? And how did everyone forget WHY the PC was adopted? Just... how?!
But hey, keep on and find out. I'll be long retired and won't care about your hostage to MS consequences.
When did the pandemic end? Are those 450 Americans still dying every day from covid along with the never ending mutation of the virus just my imagination?
I have no doubt some well informed PhD epidemiologists and doctors will chime in and let me know I'm just imagining things.
Oh wait... no they won't. Just the Dunning Krugers will.
Truth.
Them: "Hello, I.T.? We've just made a major purchase with Lenovo and the new kit will be provisioned by IBM*. Can you deploy that across our national operations by next week?"
Me: "Goddamn you blithering morons!"
*yes, I know those are now two different companies. That's the point here.
I will never understand why, just WHY companies make it so damn hard to purchase things?! Websites designed by flying monkeys, customer non-support and automated voice menu hell.
And it's in every damn industry!
Even basic retail! No floorwalkers and no clear pricing to be found and only 3 registers out of 20 that are open. They are rejecting literally trillions in sales!
Never, never, NEVER let your company be run by bean counters!
WP was never meant to be more than a self service blog for people who could not do HTML.
Then it went berserk. And it was never that good to begin with. It rode a wave of blogger mania (remember that ages ago?) and has a popularity it really doesn't deserve.
It's bloated trash with an administration interface that did too many drugs and now hears voices from a Monty Python skit.
