Microsoft rolled out a Windows 11 update this week that "unintentionally uninstalled" the Copilot app from some computers. It's an odd bug for a company that's been pushing its AI app as a selling point, but Microsoft is "working on a resolution," to bring Copilot back... whether you want it or not. #Copilot #Windows #AI #Microsoft theverge.com/news/631053/micro

Microsoft accidentally cares about its users, releases update that unintentionally deletes Copilot from Windows

It's rare in this day and age that proprietary operating system vendors like Microsoft and Apple release updates you're more than happy to install, but considering even a broken clock is right twice a day, we've got

Wie ist das denn eigentlich so, wenn man als #KMU von #Windows auf #Linux wechseln will? Gibt es da Dienstleister, Admins oder was, ich meine, das muss ja dauerhaft und verlässlich funktionieren. Was ist mit Updates, Virenschutz, Firewalls … ich durchschaue das noch nicht ganz und weiß nicht, wo ich anfangen soll … und habe auch nicht die Zeit da ständig selbst rumzufrickeln. Hat jemand Tipps?

Is today #FediHire Friday? Sure looks like it!

What I'm looking for: A senior level, individual contributor role supporting Windows, Active Directory, Certificates, PKI, Azure, and information security in a large environment. Interested in relocating outside of the US. I like to solve weird problems and make computers run smoothly. I want to help others use technology effectively.

My main focus the last few years has been rebuilding and modernizing a struggling certificate management team. That includes growing the team to meet our company needs, migrating our AD-integrated private PKI stack, getting a handle on our web PKI consumption, and making massive improvements to our certificate lifecycle management platform. I supported and advised our CyberSec and Desktop teams as we rolled out multi-factor authentication to 50,000 employees and contractors across the US. My background in understanding deep computer fundamentals, talent for quickly grasping nuances of larger systems, and calmness in a crisis have contributed to quickly resolving major technology outages regardless of root cause.

This role hasn't been exclusively technical. A big part of my current job is building relationships with our developers to help them understand how certificates work, the responsible ways to use them, and what our relevant internal policies are. I've been training and teaching junior and mid-level engineers both practical PKI concepts and our specific enterprise requirements. I've gotten to spend some time with upper management to both explain the immediate challenges we've had and the plans we can implement improve our infrastructure, reducing costs and outages.

While this position has been focused on certs and how to use them, I'm very comfortable considering a technical leadership role for Windows (server and desktop) administration and Active Directory. I also have some good experience with Azure and virtualization platforms, but they haven't been my daily focus for several years.

My current employer is direct retail for general public consumers. I've also worked in banking/finance, manufacturing, and architecture firms. The common thread is I love to help people leverage technology for their goals, to help them be more effective.

In my personnel/volunteer time I've done very similar: working backstage with lights/sounds/projections so live performers can do their best.

Right now I'm in Syracuse, New York (about five hours from NYC), but I'm open to relocation/migration anywhere in the world.

PMs open if you want to talk details. Boosts/reshares appreciated.
