J. Stro Makes Things

When the world goes to crap, and all else fails, the Apple II keeps running. Apple II, forever.

Just as I started spinning up an Entra session with PowerShell... it gets afraid and decides to work. That's what I thought.

Me: Checks sign-in logs for MS365. MS: shows 24 hrs. Me: switch filter to 7 days. MS: -no data- Me: switch back to 24 hrs. MS: shows data. Me: filters by someone who is /visible/ on the 24 hr list. MS: -no data- Like... what? Hard to do a routine security check when the tool doesn't FSCKING work.

I got hung up in the Claude interface trying to find the connector menu because I don't use it. He asked, "Oh, do you use GPT then"? No sir. I don't use AI unless it's a deeply integrated thing I cannot avoid. I'm not anti-AI. I'm anti "abrogating my thinking to a machine that can't think".

And before y'all say "oh, he's just having it summarize or whatever..." No. Not this guy. I know this guy. He's intentionally choosing that route because "AI is the way". He's choosing a slower, more expensive, less accurate way because "its how it's done now".

Young user wanted Claude connected to his MS 365 account. I got management approval, did the admin thing and got the connector done. The very first prompt he used: "check my email". Not "find blah" or "analyze blah" or whatever. Just checking his email. He knows that Outlook exists, right?

Your Friendly Reminder: Sean Lee Robinson, AKA "Geek With Social Skills" is a known scammer. He has run cons on video game, arcade game, and vintage computer communities for decades - and is still doing it-. Just look up his name.

Dear Newark: The product you show as back ordered in my order from a week ago does not show as back ordered on your website. So: anyone waiting on certain products in my store to be back in stock, now you know why they are a bit behind.
