Desktop MS Office programs save to the MS365 cloud by default and they make it hard to change that. It will revert on every update. I’ve got my PC at work set to keep a backup on the local HDD but it doesn’t work very well. I have one important spreadsheet I rely on daily but luckily I can recreate it in half an hour. Other people at work, maybe not so much.

Might be an interesting morning.

So, the three largest American airlines have grounded all flights world-wide.

But at least we don't have any mean Tweets....

Crowd strike again eh?

A not so clever by half distraction from this week’s wildly successful and popular GOP convention, to change the lying media’s “in today’s top stories...” narrative.

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

The World is SOOOO technically vulnerable…

Anyone who worked on systems with Y2K issues, especially for entities such as the Department of Defense know that you need the best and brightest involved in IT. Yet, the U.S. government has been running a campaign for more than two decades to suppress wages in IT which has chased away talent.

We are way too vulnerable.

I always think of the beginning of the series “Connections”.

“you need the best and brightest involved in IT.”

I wish Princess Cruises would figure that out.

Seriously, I wonder how DEI impacts the IT area. Do companies do testing of applicants before hiring staff to be sure they’re competent? I know they used to, because I administered applicant tests. But now ... probably things have changed.

Microsoft has been hacked globally.

Ironically, they've apparently been "hacked" by software that was supposed to prevent them from being hacked.

Microsoft operating systems in vital infrastructure

Ah, I think I see the problem ...

Distinguishing competent developers from incompetent ones by a test is a tricky proposition. The most relevant tests are probably puzzle-solving problems. Poorly constructed tests end up just quizzing people on minutiae that anyone can easily look up online.
