Focus Assist is another one to turn off immediately, along with Focussed Inbox in Outlook/Exchange.
Also (in O365 corporate) Admins can now opt in (or was it out) to linking Corporate and Personal MS IDs via Bing searches to earn MS Rewards.
Who asked for that (apart from the Bing product team....)?
Of course - I didn't even consider your use-case.
1 .Dictate
2. Get screen reader to read it back to you
3. Dictate corrections (a bit like Jeremy Clarkson and that BMW voice activation trial he did waaay back)
4. Get screen reader to read it back to you
5...
Jump out of window after step 17...!
Just replying to my own post here...
I wonder if I am missing anything being a native English speaker?
I can imagine that there is something about typing in Chinese (for a given size of keyboard!) that is more cumbersome than English - maybe that's the factor I am ignoring here and that's how they are gathering this time saving metric?
Baidu claimed recognition facilitates content creation at two to three times the speed of what one can type.
Really? Whenever I have tried voice recognition, you can indeed get lots of words down, but by the time you have corrected errors and punctuation it takes at least as long as typing it in the first place....
I'd be surprised if Workday's Project Manager had not at least raised some of these concerns internally at least - would be interesting to see the Risks/Issues register!
It is possible that they were overruled of course on commercial grounds, or maybe overall Project Management was not actually in their scope.
Given the (published) issues with the previous Infor project, Scope/Requirements control should have been top of Workday's Risk assessment when taking on this project?
On the Maine side, surely the same level of introspection should have been performed - unless they were just relying on Workday to make it all magically happen?
QNAPs run a Linux distribution plus (I think) BusyBox, but support a load of packaged apps (e.g. media apps, Docker and LXC Container Station). I run pi-hole as a LXC container for example.
If you want you can package your own apps as QPKG format to install them.
They are running a proper OS, but it is packaged so that you can run it as an appliance without needing to do much config. What they could do is set the firmware update to be automatic by default, so that sufficiently technical users can disable it to match their desired manual update cadence. This then catches the “set and forget” users whose devices would otherwise never get updated.
My QNAPs receive firmware updates every 6weeks or so.
The QTS OS also let’s you apply them automatically if you want to.
The problem here - as with the more serious QNAP vulnerabilities of a couple of years ago - is where people set it up as a NAS or Internet-facing server and never apply updates. That is a problem, regardless of the device/manufacturer/OS.
the auditors that we hired did a bad job and didn't find evidence of bad practices but have admitted they did a bad job
Not quite.
Deloitte were hired by Autonomy as their auditors. The only way they were hired by HP is in the sense that after HP had bought Autonomy, they had been the auditors of that company up to that point and so had a historical responsibility for previous audit opinions. This is why HP sued itself initially (as per the article) and then its former-Autonomy wing sued Deloitte, since HP itself had not directly paid Deloitte for the work, but its acquisiton had.
KPMG were hired by HP for the due diligence in the Autonomy acquisition and wrote the draft reports that was never finalised and went unread anyway by the CEO. KPMGs report is not under dispute.
If the workload outgrows the specified OCPU setting, ADW automatically provides additional OCPUs.
Might make it tricky to control spend here if it can burst up to 3x chosen/budgeted OCPU level?
One might expect a choice here to burst or not burst and accept any performance degradation without a billing hit?
Due to an administrative oversight, the AntiKythera mechanism was being transported on the same ship as the Kythera mechanism.
Dues to rough weather at sea, the 2 devices came within close proximity and the rest is history. Due to sea symmetry violation, only fragments of the AntiKythera mechanism survived.
Or something
There is nothing stopping Avon salespeople (who are independent agents) from drumming up business however they like, or indeed a 3rd-party firm marketing to those agents as a source of leads.
Avon's customer are the agents really, not the end consumer of their products.
Probably all that Avon can do is to remind their agents of the law and the dangers of using unvetted leads - but they can't enforce it.
