Dude you're pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

Yeah I read it and it's very over worded.

1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

Then the IEC decided "enough of this confusion" and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc...) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

It's not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.

It's a nack. See one, the others will likely be in a tent shaped layout. Some brains are just very good at visual pattern matching.

I have an unbroken record for being the person that finds anything tiny and lost. In school the kids called me "night vision".

Lose a ball over the fence an 1am. 10 people looking. Can't find it. Get me to look and I find it in 1 minute or less. Lost a diamond or earring backing in shag carpet? I'll find it ao fast you won't believe it.

I've occasionally had to pretend it takes longer to find it, just so they don't think I pranked them and took it.

As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.

It totally is. Accidents, Beta features, etc. all used as cover to be a cunt.

"supposed to"

Oopsie whoopsy, we accidentally made competing browsers disadvantaged.

Deliberate, disguised as accidental. Disgusting.

Our MAM policy would not allow this.

Frankly it's BS.

Teams, when used within a single Org, works great. For 3rd party interaction, or working for multiple Orgs I would highly recommend almost any other product.

The intra-org integration with SharePoint and document management/data retention is very good.

But nonsense like what OP is experiencing is why even I, as the senior MS Support SysAdmin at my employer, refuse to use Microsoft Office products on my personal Android phone.

If they want/need me to do that, they can give me a dedicated phone just for that purpose. MS MAM is never touching my personal equipment in a million years.

OP is stuck between a rock and a crap place.

Yubikey enforcement is ass in AD.

We've moved to SilverFort. That way I can keep using the YKs but actually enforce them correctly. It allows WAAAY more visibility and control over the things that matter, and it's diagnostics and easy policy generation from lookups is great.

The tiny, tiny footprint and speed to load.

I would think I'd probably use an IDE if I was coding all the time.

Heck, I'm only using it because JFE got too old.

I do have VSCode set up even with the same scheme as NP++... but let's face it, the most complex things I'm using are PowerShell and Node JS.
