  • Yeah this is true. I sometimes need to stop myself in a project with “don’t let perfect get in the way of good”, else I end up pouring time and energy on what is really not all that important. The same can be applied to a lot of things, including services purchases.

    I can see there being companies looking for alternatives and then saying to themselves “but feature X and Y are such nice things to have and alternatives A and B aren’t as good in those areas!”.

    I think a good example if Entra Conditional Access. It is a powerful security tool that pulls in information from other MS services, device health, etc. and apply other policies based on criteria. Google and AWS have similar alternatives, but I don’t think I have found an alternative. But also, this is not a critical system, its just nice-to-have.



  • I agree they should be sourcing local services, but I don’t think there is a service offering that is comparable today. Microsoft’s iron grip on businesses is due to multiple services all working togethor, easily administrated, highly customisable. OS, Entra, Intune, Exchange, Defender for Endpoint, Sharepoint, Teams each are on their own are not that great, but all togethor for a single fee with support (key for businesses) is attractive. An open source, or Eurorpean alternative is likely some years away but I read on Lemmy a few weeks ago of several initiatives that look promising.

    I’ve never really understood the whole ADHD thing. They never spoke about it when I was a kid, and I’m skeptical about it now. Probably me just being an old codger.

    But something that happens all the damn time is during my driving. I listen to an audiobook for any journey but I end up relistening to the same part constantly rewinding because I get distracted either just in my own thoughts or to what is happening around me. And this meme depicts exactly that. Interesting.
