Not the windows troubleshooter, as the mic was otherwise fine. There was nothing I could find in any Teams settings, and the admin panel showed all of the telemetry as being fine.

This is a good one to keep in mind, tyvm!

I have had to help so many end users with that it pains me.

“How can I stop this from happening again?”

Well, we can disable.other audio devices, but seeing as it’s Windows 11 they may just re-enable good luck!

I ran into a user who’s noise cancellation stopped working upon the rollout of “New” Teams. Tried diagnosing the microphone array, settings updates, firmware. No luck.

Know what worked? Both versions of browser based Teams!!! Ihatethemihatethemihatethem

My boss has gotten to the point of “As Ashe would say, fucking Microsoft”

Let’s not forget the endless name changes, 404’d documentation that points to non existent tools all of the time, the GUI that barely works. Always an adventure

They must have some intense data retention policies. You can configure compliance levels to allow anyone into their Outlook acct using the app without any special permissions pretty easily.

Good on them to cut down access like that

Genuinely. Proton expanding is a good thing in my eyes at least in this stage. They offer their services at a pretty hefty, but reasonable price compared to others, and don’t have a free offering for certain things they run. Their incentive to operate is continuing what they were built on and getting better.

You don’t understand though, because it’s not physical (software of any kind) and even if it is (any hardware) because you aren’t constantly doing something it’s not work!!

As an admin who got push back from the sales team, everyone has… Unique perspectives on what is and isn’t work.

Very nice! I am what we in the industry call a fraud :^)

JK, I’m just not well versed in development or high level things. I’m in the administration, implementation and advisory side of things these days. I was a field tech prior.

One day I’ll get more into the weeds of it all. Nothing but respect for the devs that hold it all together

I’m out of the industry now, but I was saying the same. Win 10 Embedded and Win 7 IoT both served very, very well. But the always online component and other issues with 11 make it poorly suited for the use case it had in the past. Systems that relied on mapped drives are now nearly fully depreciated.

It’s very likely to be one of the NCR platforms. If I were to hazard a guess, StoreLine. Though it could be Encor/ISS45, ECRS has a pretty big market share as well. POS software is a walled garden of security through obscurity. Windows dependencies tend to be in part because it is such a small market, but also due to workstation/server requirements as well as remote support.

Long time support and stability are the name of the game. The industry doesn’t allow for much downtime which makes any change significantly harder than a lot of other industries.

It’s insane. The documentation is often times half accurate and feels like navigating a minefield of half truths, depreciations and context clues to find the solution to problems.

Only if you have an E5 license! If you have an E3 it’s still compliance and you can trial purview features

I’ll be so honest, the best android emulator is just downloading the Android SDK. You can pull off anyyyyy set up you want.

I love going to Entra (azure), the authentication manager (admin, legacy and Entra), the defender dashboard for DLP, wait no compliance, and then uh, what license do I need for this? It’s a NIGHTMARE navigating their depreciated shit. Absolutely unreal

Don’t let the TV see a network and use a Chromecast. It makes life so much easier than any of the integrated trash

The vibe can vary pretty drastically from instance to instance, regardless of federation. Ultimately in the bigger communities it doesn’t matter at all though

I may be biased buttttttt gonna have to agree

Alberta has entered the chat

They actually have, be it the Inuit people, Native Americans, Greeks, Scandinavians, Romans, Indians, Japanese, Pacific Islanders, and likely many more. Phytoestrogens from soy and BPA plastics are not metabolized in a way that carries any feminizing effects, though can aggravate hormonal cancers. If you haven’t watched Oki’s series on the atrazine studies they’re fantastic. He interviews the scientist behind a lot of the research and talks on how Alex Jone’s undermined the research’s public image.

That being said, while I appreciate the sentiment of “dress how ya want” and I truly believe you’re genuine in saying that. Plenty of those who say that do not mean it though, and will be the first to throw stones. Which is why I ask you have just a little compassion on the matter. I know some people can be a lot. But most are just trying to get by, just like you and I.
