Microsoft azure fun and games: if you don’t have access rights to create vms or compute instances but do have access to azure data bricks it will do fun stuff like

create a resource group for you (even though you can’t create resource groups normally). you also can’t view this new resource group since you don’t have the necessary permissions :v:

populate said group with vms also even you normally can’t create them in the data brick parent resource group

all to the low low tune of $1.5 (per minute if not in use)

i recently found out much to my confusion that IAM roles which delegate contributor for specific components (e.g. Data Factory) do not delegate permissions to register the required resource provider. so if you delegate these kinda perms someone with the subscription-level Contributor role needs to register the providers first otherwise your users cant do poo poo. kinda obtuse imo

if VS code could replicate the exact syntax highlighting that powershell ISE uses then i'd switch in a heartbeat. i'm not even sure if it's possible because ISE does some magic to highlight cmdlets properly as well as things like expression expansion inside quoted strings

i'm really enjoying the eternal struggle between microsoft and intel where every time (and i mean EVERY time) microsoft release a major win10 update the NIC teaming functionality in intel ANS breaks. usually intel releases a new version 1-2 weeks later which fixed it but holy gently caress, intel and/or microsoft must be seriously loving something up in the OS networking space because it has broken like clock-work 5-6 times now

it's funny and immensely annoying that microsoft just do not give a single gently caress about any of your settings and whenever you install a win10 update (or whatever the creator/spring updates are called) they get reset to defaults. couple examples:

  • startup configuration for windows services: i dont have a printer so i disable the print spooler service. however sure enough whenever i install an update it's set back to automatic.
  • defrag schedule: this one is a far bigger PITA. i've got several iSCSI LUNs mounted on my machine and as such i disable the scheduled defrag for the volumes. however whenever i install a new update scheduled defrag is just re-enabled for all volumes.

there's probably more examples however those are the only ones i remember. imo the reason this poo poo happens is because microsoft are lazy assholes and don't want to test regression and poo poo for different configurations so they just reset your settings to default

this garbage aside, i've never seen a single ad on my machine once however im not sure if that's because ive got pro or if i changed some setting (or both)

Plenty of ads even with Pro. After a fresh install, the start menu is littered with ads for apps and Cortana will bug you regularly to entice you to use it (or connect Spotify to Cortana). And Explorer will bug you about upgrading to a paid OneDrive storage plan if you use it. The lock screen will present ads for new games.

yeah idk i guess i musta opted out or something because i have never seen a single ad ever. however turns out i havent actually upgraded to 1803 yet so brb

edit: ok yeah still nothing. im using full-screen start menu if that matters? otherwise i guess you're doing it wrong

Is it actually starting the defrag job? I've never seen Windows attempt to defrag remote storage or VMDKs. Are you mounting through the NIC?

doesn't really matter. the "right-click, properties -> tools -> optimise" dialog lists defrag schedules based on querying the task scheduler. they're one in the same. and yeah, the jobs launch defrag against the target volume

Although since most windows installations aren't cross locale multi user, "settable separately" does not mean "always has to be configured in multiple places" for any reason besides bad design.

have you used windows at all? upon install language and regional settings are set at the system level and for single user systems that is perfectly fine. however options are available to configure language and regional settings per user if the need arises but if it doesn't then you don't care.

i'm getting deja vu here were you the same idiot that complained about powershell execution policy?

office 365 is better than having to janitor on-prem exchange/sharepoint/skype. also you don't have to worry about storage because they give you stupid amounts (enterprise e3 gives you a 100GB exchange mailbox plus unlimited archive mailbox). however if your clients don't have office 2013 minimum then yeah it's hosed (it works and is supported but no modern auth support is just an extremely huge pain in the rear end).

lmao that script is loving garbage. it's incredibly poorly written and structured in a way that makes it extremely obtuse. the script proper has no named parameters defined in a Param() block and instead loops through $args and then does dumb poo poo. this is so stupid i'm actually mad.

also many of the settings it changes are dubious whilst others are really more personal preference stuff and only applicable to the neckbeard which wrote it.

i installed the latest update just earlier and apart from taking a comical amount of time to actually install (better part of an hour for the pre-reboot background installation and then a good 15 minutes post-reboot) it's more of the same really. the usual settings got nuked (only one i remember is scheduled defrag config) and my intel NIC teaming completely broke but that always happens and usually gets fixed when intel release new software (i'm sure the blame is split 50-50 between microsoft and those shiftless fucks at intel for the debacle that is teaming/VLANs with intel NICs on win10).

windows 10 has a bug where on a specific system i used, when i used a program to write an image to a 3.5 inch floppy for an old computer

it overwrote the GPT partition tables with the floppy image, and i was very confused when i rebooted to ms dos 6 on my haswell machine

now, this is easily solvable, as the GPT table is backed up to the end of the drive. Windows however has absolutely no utility to fix this, but linux can very easily.

so that's the FIRST windows 10 issue I've had.

the second is that it twice became unable to recognize any USB devices and required a reinstall

windows server 1809 (semi-annual channel) is available in visual studio subscriptions (MSDN) but the provided product key doesn't work. it lists the same key as for 1803 which is what you'd kinda expect but apparently it's a "server 2016" key and 1809 is "server 2019" so it doesn't work.

basically microsoft hosed up pivoting to this new service channel arrangement much like everything else they've done in recent memory
