which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They’re just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

I’d recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

FF3 is… okay. It introduces the character class system, which you’ll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

Oh so some Republicans still quietly like freedom, got it.

“Bad faith” = you screwing corporations

There, I’ve simplified it.

As if there weren’t enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

You realize there was a good decade between the first home PC games and the time when computer mice became ubiquitous, right? You’re going to have to say something about the game other than “text based”, because that’s no more descriptive than “mouse based” or “gamepad based”.

(I know this post is a month old, but I just came across it.)

We deal with this by not dealing with it, so to speak. We keep the on-prem AD account disabled and just move it to a synced OU called “Terminated”, then strip all group memberships/permissions from it. Once we’ve held onto the shared mailbox for the required length of time, we then delete both the on-prem AD account and the shared mailbox.

When it comes to Samsung, look at their “Pro” TVs, which are intended for businesses to use for digital signage. I’ve never had to deal with any of the very few smart features it has popping up or annoying me in any way.

I’m no expert on picture quality but it looks damned good to me, and it’s supposedly built to run 24/7 and not burn out since as said it’s intended for digital signage.

I don’t know, go ask him… seriously, we need contributors. :D

As far as SharePoint and the other M365 SaaS services, those are updated by Microsoft with no interaction needed from you. Desktop installed Office apps can be and are set for automatic updates by default, but in my experience you’ll need to manually push updates for them periodically.

For Azure, as @Rykzon@discuss.tchncs.de said, any SaaS/PaaS and security back end are kept up to date by Microsoft - but if you’re running Windows / Linux VM’s in Azure, the patching inside those machines is on you unless you’ve setup automatic VM guest patching in Azure:

For the rest of it… how are you handling patching for your other clients? What patching and/or RMM tool(s) are you using? If you’re not aware of how patching is handled “in the cloud”, how are you handling it within the network?

(edit) - For knowing what’s going on with Microsoft patch day, the real answer is that IT shops / MSP’s of a certain size have a patching team who keeps up with news about updates, and likely a security team who keeps an eye out for critical security vulnerabilities and remediations. If you’re not big enough for that, here’s at least a starting point for Microsoft patching:

While anything over 1:1 is ideal, I think we can agree that setting it to at least 1:1 is better than setting it to 0 as u/Riusaki suggested. While it is the bare minimum, it’s not in any sense leeching to give back as much as much as you’ve received.

Except you should set it to at least seed to a 1:1 ratio so that you’re giving back as much as you download.

Sure, crosspost away. As long as we’re not getting too many duplicate posts within /c/sysadmin about the same topic, it doesn’t matter much the source.

For those unfamiliar with this campaign - note the SPA logo with the “Don’t copy that floppy” slogan in the middle of the page:

If you’re preparing for it, is it really that “unexpected”…?

If they absolutely refuse to allow you to share or email an individual vs. a distro group then I’d do it that way, but not using an “anyone with the link” share depending on the sensitivity of the information. If it’s something that isn’t as sensitive sure, but otherwise they’ll need to setup credentials with that distro group and use it to login to access the shared folder.

Usually in these kind of situations I fall back to sharing a OneDrive / Teams (SharePoint) folder out to the external vendor. Anyone can say that they can’t receive the encrypted email and there could be legitimately good reasons for that, but if they don’t know how to login to 365 to access a shared folder that’s on them.
