during the fox halftime show the dudes at the desk all have bright blue surfaces with a very visible Surface name printed on them in front of each person and it's really obnoxious

apparently this was deemed not obvious enough

so now they're turquoise and white

their desks actually have a glass piece that they place screens under and feed into to. that's where these should go, but then... also notice the surfaces are not on top of that glass, so they're probably still using whatever's underneath (a macbook)

obviously they're not using them because who wants to actually touch a surface

wait

they are looking at playbooks and drawing on top of them. that's it. it's a sketch pad and reference to playbooks. that's media loving consumption. consuming the media in the books, drawing red lines on it.

an ipad is ideal and a surface is forced and unnecessary and overcomplicated for the task

they are calling it an "ipad-like device" because it's "kinda like an ipad but not as good"

whats really stupid is that they're surface 2 pros. like this is one thing that a windows rt tablet would work for and apparently MS didn't trust it enough

probably because they have warehouses full of them so sending 50 to every NFL stadium is no big deal

i changed my password

apparently i have a bunch of open terminal sessions scattered around the domain logged in with the wrong credentials, and they continue to lock my account

this has been going on ALL DAY LONG. Ask someone to unlock my account, work for a while, find I can't log into any Linux machines anymore, unlock my account and attempt to track down what shithead windows server I'm still logged into again. Go back to the beginning of these steps.

why isn't there a damned "LOG ME OUT OF EVERYTHING IN THE DOMAIN IDGAF" button in windows? i thought this was The Enterprise?

e: Microsoft made a tool to help with this situation, but all it tells you is which domain controller most recently noticed a bad password. it doesn't bother telling you which system tried to auth, and leaves you on your own to work through the lmao Event Viewer to find whatever it was.

no one who has actually implemented or used lync could possibly recommend it to others. it costs a bloody fortune, it will never work right, and for all practical intents and purposes, it requires you to throw away all your existing phones

in terms of how little is delivered for how much money, it is the worst microsoft product. possibly rivaled only by sharepoint
