Playtime was fun. Bathtime not so much

Happy holidays to friends and family

My workday has evolved over the years.

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

Unkind men so often whither in the face of unkindness.

You’re either Team Canada or you’re Team Poilievre. You can’t be both. “His comments trying to belittle Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who is negotiating with Donald Trump on our behalf, compromise our position.” montrealgazette.com/opinion/colu...

@msftmechanics.bsky.social glad to see you at Bluesky!

Schools need to start preparing now for Windows 10 EoL, many also don’t realise it includes Office 16/19 as well. Perfect time to jump to #Intune and cloud managed devices. There is no need for servers anymore in schools.

Just finished @stephenking.bsky.social Fairy Tale. Just finished this and Stephen King didnt’ disappoint. Charlie’s relationship with his father (an alcoholic in recovery), Mr. Bowditch and his dog were beautifully written. The fantasy realm portion dragged a bit overall I loved it.

Hello World! MMS is here! #MMSMOA

Blogs are queuing up. We dive into the Intune StatelessIWService soon to understand how the Company Portal impersonates the logged on user to populate stuff like app statuses and user device information. #MSIntune

@patchmypc.com is here! Things are starting to look good!

Leaves are falling. Winter is coming to the coast.

I don’t know who wrote this, but it’s absolutely perfect

Now that we can use tags, where are my fellow #jamf or #intune people at? Tell me your craziest solution you ever deployed. No wrong answers as long as it worked.

I’m getting his “get off your ass and take me to the dog park” look. Looks like we’re heading to the park :) #GoldenDoodle

Our dog has a picnic table fetish. He can't walk past one without climbing on top. Maybe we can train him to bring back picnic baskets during barbecue season.

Someone really wants me to know that it’s time for his walk :)

In September we had a great first in-person #MEMSummit at the Microsoft campus in Paris. In 2024, we will be back April 17-19! Call for Speakers is already open. Ticket sales will start soon! #Community #MsIntune #Windows #macOS #W365

I wrote a quick blog post about my experience with Windows 365 Switch - I love the feature. Check it out if you’re running a W365 Cloud PC. dbgriffin.ca/2023/12/04/l... #Windows365 #MicrosoftIntune

Windows 365 Switch FTW! The simplicity of this feature has definitely made Windows 365 a better end-user experience. I spend most of my workday in my cloud PC and now I can quickly switch back and forth. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/window...

My impression of Bluesky after having to (mostly) leave Twitter is that it’s kinda like what happens after a mass extinction event wipes out all dominant organisms and evolution goes into hyperdrive filling all the niches with new life. This might be the Benadryl talking

The look I get when he is outside and I’m inside working. I should have closed the blinds. #GoldenDoodle #Dogs

Some fantastic sessions so far, and looking forward to tomorrow’s Cloud PKI session. #MSIntune techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/tech-comm...

What’s your experience with W365 boot to cloud PC? I configured it to run on an old Surface laptop, and was amazed at how simple and straightforward it is to configure. #Windows365 #MEMCM #MSIntune techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-i...

Venture capital killed a 151-year-old magazine that I and so many other people were proud to work for, until, of course, we were all laid off a few weeks ago.
