I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Bro couldn’t even clean his room in 3 days.

People make mistakes, that’s why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.

Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting “save” manually has taught us nothing.

Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.

Improve the system, because you can’t improve people with a code patch.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.

Fxtwitter.com

They’re fixing most of this nonsense.

YouTube music is actually very good.

But you need a subscription… And unless you also use a lot of YouTube and would benefit from a lack of ads it’s not very good value.

Our MAM policy would not allow this.

Frankly it’s BS.

Teams, when used within a single Org, works great. For 3rd party interaction, or working for multiple Orgs I would highly recommend almost any other product.

The intra-org integration with SharePoint and document management/data retention is very good.

But nonsense like what OP is experiencing is why even I, as the senior MS Support SysAdmin at my employer, refuse to use Microsoft Office products on my personal Android phone.

If they want/need me to do that, they can give me a dedicated phone just for that purpose. MS MAM is never touching my personal equipment in a million years.

OP is stuck between a rock and a crap place.

Trinity used NMAP and scanned for real known SSH vulnerabilities when hacking the power station in Matrix Reloaded.

Used to live by Sennheiser headphones

Then I discovered ANC headphones. Then my phone lost its headphone jack.

Until Sennheiser have an ANC BT headphone option to rival Bose or Sony, they have lost that market segment.

Fair.

We use the sign interpreter feature in Teams and it’s really good. The live captions struggles a bit with the Aussie accent though.

But mostly it’s the SharePoint/OneDrive/Outlook/m365 integration I find useful. If I was on Linus or macOS, I suspect I would feel differently.

OneDrive on Mac is ass.

At work Teams has been great.

Zoom is too bare-bomes.

The I hacked it together at 3am feel of the zoom interface makes me actively hate the damn thing.

Like teams feels like a communication application. Zoom feels like a hobby project.

Now… Let’s see what 1000 years of cosmic radiation does to the data.
