The Management posted:has Microsoft done anything relevant in the last decade? I was going to say WPF but that is eleven years already, wowsers. So I'll say they've raised some good discussion with Edge and web standards.

If his excuse is real that is some classic Windows IT bikeshedding. Lock down random functions in Edge but allow downloading of running of any executables. Microsoft hasn't managed to progress from: security & usability pick one. One hopes Microsoft will not just internally ban Chome and be dipshits because the presenter would just have to cancel the presentation.

.net is the runtime not a language, you can already use many different languages on the .net CLR, Microsoft publish a few like C#, managed C++, and F#. In terms of alternative runtimes I think there has been a lot of research trying to support multiple inheritance but idk what came of it.

DNS with split-VPNs is inherently dubious, you need domain routing like dnsmasq (as found in pfSense) attempts to offer so you can force internal domains over the VPN. It's not really a well defined area.

Looks like you may have to use Acrylic on Windows as an alternative to dnsmasq for such configurations.

When I see the headline "Surface Pro 6 a bajillion percent faster" I can only think how much they must of hosed up with the previous models as it's definitely not Intel getting off their lardy rear end and making things better.

Rex-Goliath posted:also now that crashplan is abandoning its consumer support what's the yospos recommended backup provider? I went with Carbonite, but it is rather lame. It doesn't appear to detect sleep or network disconnections properly and sits not backing up for weeks. There was an update yesterday that decided to prompt and pester like an Oracle update. I kind of like that it doesn't back up every retarded file that software loves to constantly update but provides no value whatsoever, compared to Backblaze which advertises that as a feature.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:yes clearly they should have deployed it on a desktop linux which would lose support after a year and never update Signage TVs running Linux is usually the way to go, what's odd is that commercial TV hardware is really expensive but the software which can be managed over the Internets is crazy cheap to run. You can even get signage hardware & software from CDW and pay like only $20 above wholesale price.

Alas this TVs don't support source maps yet, these are circa Safari 6.0 applewebkit based browser engines. Usually I can get a photo when something crashes so this works pretty ok.

So new news, MS opening up more stuff. Now WPF, Windows Forms, and WinUI are set free, will anything update on any Linux desktop? https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2018/12/04/announcing-open-source-of-wpf-windows-forms-and-winui-at-microsoft-connect-2018/ idk, if MS are using these technologies to build Outlook 2016 I don't think it changes anything. Outlook is no better than Netscape 1 on HP/UX in Motif for how impressively slow and bad at painting it has become.

Spellcheck service and remote dev tools are unfortunate, the former because it only exists because Windows spellcheck is not good, and the latter is saying bye bye to embedded platforms. IE has worked on their tools a lot, is there a remote option if you were working on Windows embedded or their non-existent mobile platforms?

Does Microsoft use any third party hosting for redundancy like Apple? Azure has had zero globally redundant services for so long, I presume microsoft.com and others don't even use it.

infernal machines posted:they absolutely have global and regional redundancy, it's just that the things that break sometimes mean the redundancy fails too They had nothing compared to Route 53 for a long time, only intra-Region redundancy: you can create a load-balancer but it only balances in that region. So if the region hosting the load-balancer dies your redundancy dies. They probably still allow you to create such stupid deployments. Azure DNS only launched in 2016, whilst Route 53 launched in 2010.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:the only added cost of putting windows on them is the profit microsoft otherwise extracts, so why wouldn't it be windows? chromeos had no differentiating functionality. In ChromeOS only small things tend to break and updates are almost invisible. It’s also a cloud storage client and Satya will love to get more people hooked into Microsoft services. I think it would be a pretty smart move as Microsoft experience on cheap hardware is poo poo, and this would raise the bar.

spankmeister posted:I had a pc with Ubuntu 20.04 on it with no internet that I needed to install a graphical SQL browser on. I used to use MySQL workbench but that's no longer available in the repo's. Next I decided to install DBeaver but it's a snap now and the internal repo doesn't have snaps. So I ended up downloading the deb and sneakernetting it over USB. Despite the effort and security holes, phpmyadmin has been amazingly good in my experience. Databases are always a PITA to work with though.
