Love it!
Not just vibe coding tools in the hands of geeks, but actually geeks who have problems that need solutions.
Imagine if they actually let us at the platform itself!

Omfg, maybe finally Glint won't require a CSV file just to onboard users!

As a child of immigrants, my parents often asked me to review what they'd written.
Now, if anyone asks me to review anything (or even if they don't) I will be drawn immediately to any spelling or grammatical errors.
Throw in incorrect logos of late. :-)
The Autism helps with this task.

An interesting idea!
Let's chat next week when I'm back from holidays, and see what we can do!

Well, I've not done that specific scenario live from PBI, but I have used the Search endpoint to find specific things and store the outputs in a table, then used PBI to report on it.
I have however done Graph queries directly from PBI, which can be a BI sluggish.
What's the required search string?

This is why we need to be free of vendor lock-ins.
First, Samsung offered photo backups, then moved to OneDrive, now back again?
No thanks, I'll use Immich.

You can make it talk to Graph directly, so technically yes.

I can understand that, and it's certainly something I miss.

Do you use @home-assistant.io and wish you could use the new AI tasks functionality with #Azure #OpenAI?
Now you can.
I built a thing: github.com/loryanstrant...

How educating clients about Executive Functions improves their daily life I feel like I’ve been going on about Executive Functions for years. Probably because I have been a wee bit obsessed for quite a while. In fact it has been many years since I first did a confe…

Some days I feel like I'm on a crusade to teach people about Executive Functions. It really does help in personal life and the workplace. It's a positive journey, so I'm happy on this crusade. A bit of general info in my latest blog: www.meganstrant.com/how-educatin...

I still have one tenant from 2017, because they disabled my guest account.
Can't leave. :-/

Mine would be easy, because for every response I'd just channel Logan Roy.

The same person who said that would then complain that sponsors have presentations.
So, who pays?
The experts are already giving their time and expertise. Should they cover the cost of food and venue hire too?
Such entitlement!

I would say no, as many others have successfully implemented it.
Do you have the appropriate licenses and roles?

I'm wishing my white goods would die so I have a reason to replace them with smart ones.
I have power monitoring on them, but it pains me to have such limited control given the level of everything else in the house.

I used the local API on my UDM to connect.
It was a completely random thing as I was trying to see what kind of data I could pull from my UniFi kit, to see if it could be connected with data in Microsoft Places and other physical sources to give a definitive picture of attendance.
