  @ariaradnia Only if you move from a Google workspace company to one that’s all choked up in office 365 you realize how bad their products are. Take collaboration in their office products. They still often have synchronization issues - these are the basics! Why can’t they figure it out?

  Let's put some "customer" information in here, so you have a better perspective. First, most of us who live in cyber security world avoid Edge like the plague. It is malware gangrene. You have designed it so that it digs in to every piece of our system, gathering our information, and we can't configure it to stay out. Security concerns. Let's add another problem, which is creating problems in daily operations: Office 365 has been designed in a way that prevents us from normal functions that we valued highly in Office Professional 2016, which was your cleanest, most professional WORKING version. Fast, efficient, and without the intrusions of 'phone' children processing. The new O365 is the least professional of all the versions you have 'improved.' I don't care about you tracking my daily work, giving me a 'viva report.' In fact, I want that deleted. There are so many bugs in O365, such as synching issues, wherein entire strings of emails disappear from the in box if I use a different device to respond to a Customer. There is a LONG list of 'improvements' you force in during updates that are actually damaging to work flow. Further, trying to force us into the NEW outlook is enraging. We keep using the "classic" to survive all your bugs and bad screen layouts, and the lack of controls your new version has imposed, and it keeps flipping back. SOOOOO many things we all hate about O365 and you do nothing to fix them. YOU have decided how we should do business. These childish relabeling and moving episodes of commands does not improve your product. Example: There was a function that allowed me to open an email, search 'all related emails' and find an older piece of the conversation. That's gone. Why? Many of the admin functions in settings are simply gone. Same with the new Windows. When I go research in various communities, MANY humans have the same complaints. Everyone hates the new versions of both products. SOME OF US are required to work offline, we do not work in your clouds. We have to have everything on the computer unit to travel without cloud access. You have made that a major problem. Do yourself a favor. If you want us to actually LIKE you, instead of hate you all day, take a survey here. Ask everyone what they miss about the old product, just start with 2016 Office Professional, and ask what they hate about O365. Ask about security problems, ask about the sentiment regarding Edge being forced on us, without the ability to uninstall it. Learn this: We are paying your salary. Learn this: We are all unhappy with the current product. Millions of us are heavy-use professionals that need the cleaner version. The current online version is even worse than that desktop app. Learn this: 2016, literally, was the last clean version you produced/coded. Once you went all SAS and cloud sales focused, you trashed a great product. Maybe have a team researching all the public comments and problems.

  @therahul4402 What's happening with Linux Mint? Windows 11 happened. I did not have serious issues with Windows 10. Log into your MS account..harder and harder local options. All your personal and IP and Work Product files have to be on Onedrive. Copilot. Sales push for Office 365, when anyone with a brain has been using OS for decades. Edge harassment. Poison Updates . Slinking to subscriptions. Eternal cash flow. GFYS with a road flare.

  Unfortunately with this phone I've had to install the Microsoft Email App, @Office I absolutely hate its display and way of working with it. Now, because of their many updates, the SEND little icon/arrow is no longer showing when you want to send or forward an email from my phone. Apparently, you now have to SCHEDULE a time for sending an email and they don't even give you the option of sending it NOW. I mean, you are typing an email or want to forward it to others, why on earth would you want to schedule a time to send it? I've sent them a DM so hopefully they will come back to me soon with a solution to this problem. I just want to type and send, NOT wait until tomorrow to send it. Otherwise, I would type it tomorrow, NOT today. God give me strength and a lot of patience. Why NOT allow people who use Microsoft Office 365 like me to just have the email App they want on their phones? We are NOT a dictatorship just yet, so I, NOT Microsoft must choose what I want on my phone and it all must be compatible with Office 365 on either your laptop or desktop pcs. Grateful if they can help, as I need to work and am NOT home atm. Thanks

  @glenn_tunes Deal! Since US companies are banned in EU: GMail immediately deletes all accounts for EU citizens and countries. Ditto Office365. YouTube immediately deletes all EU content. Google blocks access to the Play Store for EU citizens. Apple blocks all access to iCloud and other Apple services to EU accounts and deletes all data. AWS immediately deletes all EU accounts and shut down all the EU regions. Ditto Azure. Cloudflare bans all EU IPs. Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Micron, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Qualcomm, IBM, Dell, and other US hardware companies ban sales of systems and components to the EU. Every major AI provider blocks access to EU citizens and companies. Major SaaS companies, including major manufacturing software providers like Autodesk and Onshape, block access to their products from the EU. Basically the EU accomplishes it's goal to become a 3rd world country overnight without the hassle of importing the 3rd world first.

  There's a question I get asked constantly by investors building individual accounts: how much of a single name is too much? Been sitting with this in the context of the Revere Gro and Rair exposure framework circulating around $MSFT positions. The model tries to map concentration risk across growth-rate sensitivity and rate-cycle sensitivity - not a bad starting structure. But I think it locates the problem slightly wrong. For a long-horizon value investor, risk management is not primarily about volatility. It's about permanent capital impairment. Those are genuinely different things, and conflating them leads to genuinely different mistakes. MSFT at current prices trades around 32-33x forward earnings. P/B north of 13. EV/EBITDA in the high 20s depending on the quarter. Not cheap multiples by historical standards - even for a business generating the FCF that Microsoft does. And the FCF is real: Azure margin expansion, Office 365 recurring, Activision slowly integrating. The capital allocation story holds up - disciplined buybacks, a growing dividend, R&D spend that's actually productive rather than defensive. ROIC consistently above cost of capital. The moat is not in question. But here's the thing about exposure management in individual accounts specifically: when you hold a concentrated position in a company priced for near-perfection, your margin of safety becomes structural rather than mathematical. You can't just point at the balance sheet and call it hedged. The Rair framing - rate-adjusted intrinsic return - is useful because it forces the right question: if the 10-year rises another 100bps from here, does this company's intrinsic value hold? For MSFT, probably yes. The business doesn't need cheap debt to function. It generates cash in almost any macro environment. The moat doesn't erode with rates. But position sizing is where individual investors chronically underperform. Institutions manage downside scenarios as a daily operational function. Individual investors size based on conviction - and conviction is not risk management. Conviction is the justification for taking risk. Risk management is the system of rules that governs how much risk you actually accept. Practical framework, after holding through multiple cycles: - If you can articulate the bear case (multiple compression, Azure growth deceleration, AI capex overhang not yet reflected in FCF) and still sleep at night at 10-12% allocation, that's probably the rational ceiling for a concentrated individual book. - If a 20% drawdown in this one name would materially alter your financial situation, you've crossed from investing into speculating on management quality and multiple expansion. The Revere Gro side of the concept is really just another way of saying: don't let a great company become a great risk by virtue of how much of your book it occupies. The business quality and the position size are separate questions that individual investors routinely collapse into one. Balance sheet analysis matters. FCF trajectory matters. They're inputs into a position-sizing decision - not substitutes for one. That distinction is the actual heart of risk management in individual accounts, and most frameworks bury it. Long MSFT. Have been for years. Never let it exceed 12% of the book regardless of how strongly I believe in the thesis. That ceiling is a feature.

  Dan Greller (@dgreller) reported 30 minutes ago

  @bretgreenstein @KarolCodes Agreed. Historically, things moved at a slow enough pace that there was ample time to reasonably estimate the cost of an associate's tech stack. The value obtained from that stack was self-evident, exceeding its cost. For example, no rational firm was doing an ROI on whether a new associate should have a PC or an Office 365 license. It was table stakes. In this new AI world, both the costs and the potential value are radically changing on a routine basis. It makes it that much harder to have sound and stable financial governance models.

  In order to penetrate an Office 365 organization, you have to get through the Entra ID administrator. Non-trivial. Right now the Claude connector is asking for Read-Only permissions on a very restricted surface of the tenant. That’s the foot in the door: maybe that gets you through the admins, but it’s not game changing for customers. Sure, you can ask about your meetings or who sends you lots of email but you can’t DO anything, You need write. You need delete. If Claude asked for read-write, or any larger scope beyond the user, then you’d hear a big record scratch. They will be instantly shut down by the admins and CISOs. But CoPilot = Microsoft. That means: they have everything, the enterprise admin already trusts them, which means more permissions and thus better features. Right now Entra ID is a moat and this Claude connector is no threat, Perhaps this will get Microsoft off its ***. Or maybe they just acquire Anthropic.

  🎣 DFIR Suite API Spotlight: CheckPhish URL Scan You're triaging a suspected phishing email. The URL looks clean in VirusTotal. No hits in your threat intel feeds. But something feels off. This is where POST /phishing/checkphish earns its keep. It scans URLs in real-time using CheckPhish's detection engine — purpose-built to catch live phishing pages, tech support scams, and brand impersonation attempts that haven't made it into static blacklists yet. What you get back: disposition (clean/suspicious/phishing), the brand being targeted (Microsoft, PayPal, etc.), and a screenshot of the rendered page. That screenshot alone can confirm what logs can't — whether it's a convincing Office 365 login clone or a legitimate site. Practical scenario: User forwards you a "verify your account" email with a shortened link. You expand it, run it through /phishing/checkphish, and within seconds you have a verdict and visual proof. No need to spin up a sandboxed browser or wait for threat intel to catch up. Costs 2 credits per request. Available on all plans at hXXps://platform[.]dfir-lab[.]ch It's a fast, reliable check for the URLs that don't trigger your existing defenses — but probably should. #DFIR #ThreatIntel

  @Anas_Sloth @Yetee_ @WildSentences no, you are with your utter idiocy. what does "365" have to do with literally anything in this conversation? do i need 365 attacking computers? Do i need to use office 365 like a micro simp? If you can't even clearly make a statement, don't bother trying to talk to people. What document on 365? What ******** does that gotta do with anything? Your answer is clearly dumb and has no sustenance behind it. Just make a little sense will ya. like you started off telling me it isn't a network problem, it is a backup problem. while responding to my message talking about data replication(A ******* backup). Thanks for pointing out the obvious! If anyone is a troll here it is you. I say it is a backup issue, and then you tell me "No, it is a backup issue not a network issue." Like a backup doesn't live on a network, requiring networking knowledge. All while telling me about bandwidth( A ******* networking Issue!!!!!)

  Passwords get stolen. MFA prompts get approved. Rob Allen explains why some organizations are now locking SaaS apps like Office 365, GitHub, and Salesforce to specific trusted IP paths instead of exposing login access to the entire internet. Even if an attacker has credentials, they still can’t connect unless traffic comes from the approved location. Is location-based access control becoming the next layer after MFA? #Cybersecurity #SaaS #IdentitySecurity

  @Microsoft365 To use Scout, you need: 1. to be part of the Frontier Preview Program 2. need Office 365 Copilot Access 3. need local admin privileges on the device 4. your IT Admin needs to configure Frontier. 5. your IT Admin needs to configure InTune policy for Scout 6. your local IT Admin needs to agree to (attest to) and opt-in their organisation to third party inference paths. Note: "When data is sent to GitHub Copilot, M365 data residency, retention, eDiscovery, legal hold, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Sensitivity and Confidentiality Labels, audit, SLAs, and the Customer Copyright Commitment do not apply." Here is why this matters: If 'AI' extracts a list of sensitive intellectual property or customer data from a labeled document and pastes it into a new response, that new response has no label. A user could easily copy and paste that text into an external email or a public generative AI tool without triggering any data loss prevention alerts. Regulatory frameworks require strict auditing of where sensitive data travels. Because the new content does not inherit the source classification, your automated compliance systems lose track of that data. The responsibility shifts entirely to the end user to manually classify every single output generated by the AI session, which frequently leads to human error.

  Value Investor 💸 (@value_invest01) reported 57 minutes ago

  @CalebInvests_ Ackman bought $MSFT in Feb when it dipped and looked more compelling on valuation. He probably sees Microsoft as more "embedded" in enterprise, Office 365, Azure, Copilot with stickier revenue and better pricing power compared to $META, which is heavily tied to ad cycles and consumer attention. Wall Street isn’t missing anything big, it’s mostly about price and margin of safety. MSFT just offered a better entry at the time. I believe his entry was around $370 for $MSFT that was a great entry and it provided a great margin of safety. $META would need to go down into $450 area for same margin of safety $MSFT was at $370.

  @paul_e_jones No, I have zero business with GoDaddy. But I have to deal with them for an issue that they caused through Microsoft office 365's design. The problem is that a domain name that belongs to my client used to belong to a company that used to have a Microsoft office 365 account provided through the vendor. GoDaddy. GoDaddy sells office 365 accounts. What happens is a domain name previously used with Microsoft office 365 but then the account expires and is never renewed because the company that held the domain name went out of business and sold in bankruptcy. Two company transitions later and we acquire the domain. So we go to set up Microsoft office 365 only to be hit with a message that we cannot provision the domain on their platform because of a previous tenant that just doesn't exist anymore in the real world. That business vanished a long time ago.
