I use a Meta Quest 2 VR headset and it's hella uncomfortable to wear after an hour or so. It also leaves large defined red marks on your face for like 30mins-60mins after you stop using it. We need headsets that are connected to the ceiling or floor with adjustable height, and you kinda walk into it without strapping it to your face, that would be cool.

I went from dual monitors at the office to working 100% of the time on my 14 inch laptop screen when COVID hit. As a SQL developer, with at least half a dozen different tools open at any given time

I can't work with a screen that small. My productivity drops like a rock. For folks talking about one big screen not being as comfortable as multiple, check out Microsoft's powertoys fancyzones. A day or two and you'll be just as comfortable.

A bunch of us have Quest 2 headsets and WFH was driving us insane early in the pandemic. Honestly, it was super fun and very creative. I can see a use case for this in the future with a remote workforce. Not typing or anything, but we used a whiteboard and other similar objects and it worked super well.

I just got a Quest 2 and it's pretty cool being able to just have a giant fuckoff screen. I didn't play around much with it, but can you change the resolution of your desktop? Wouldn't mind a 4k 99" screen in my headset.

There is a guy at work with some sort of vision problem, and he has a pair of 32" monitors running at 1920x1080 and his head is about 4 inches from the screen. Somehow he is able to drive though, something with just focusing on small things on screen.

First day working without my boss and I'm absolutely swamped between my normal workload and going through open tasks left by his absence. I also got legit sad when I went into his office to get a converter cable and he wasn't there  . I really liked working for him.

Apparently the two clustered machines that are handling this file share each only have like 8gb ram and the last thing our previous engineer did before he left was extend the attached disk's partition to fill the rest of the 40TB volume so now literally any file operation is just loving impossibly slow.

Question (not 100% sure if appropriate thread) we havemore and more distant remote users who get company laptops, so far the best thing people have come up with (if the user can't visit campus) is for a tech to log in as the user to build the profile then ship it to them. Seems like there's got to be a more elegant way? I've seen some stuff with logging on with a generic account VPNing in and then doing a "run as" but ehhhhhhh

No matter how much you think you have to have everybody authing against AD and using VPN, you don't - accepting this and not fighting it will put you in a much better position for the future.

Agreed. And the sooner people get onboard with those ideas, the better. I've been fighting with people at my current place about it for the past year or so.

This is the way, but there are other ways around it. There are VPN clients that can auth with with a default account or the computer account until the user gets setup. We ship hundreds of laptops a week with this process. They setup Global Protect to login until the user profile gets setup.

There are, but AutoPilot is the only way to provision a Windows device without even having to touch it - which is useful if your IT team are WFH because it's not really an option to turn their houses/apartments into shipping hubs for your company. You could probably do AutoPilot and then once the device is in management use that to do a Hybrid Join and pull a VPN client down, but it's messy and Hybrid should really be avoided if possible.

Correct. If these folks need to access shared drives and poo poo across a vpn, you have a whole other level of solutions to work through. You have to make a computer joined to an azure ad joined to work as is. The easiest is to make the old legacy poo poo accessible over citrix or use something modern.

For you Azure security folks, do you have any training/cert/youtube/whatever recommendations to learn and get up to speed? A former employer is creating a new security position and they're entirely within Azure instead of AWS which has been my current niche. I know they want me to apply, and I'm pretty sure I want to apply, but I want to hit the ground running. I think even learning whats available with what licenses and where I could go to learn that would be useful. The new licensing is better than the way Microsoft use to do things right? Right....

We got it as part of a campus agreement contract, negotiated at country level. If your microsoft agreements don't have it, the next best thing is microsoft learn but that will not include mock exams and coursework.
