I mean yeah, that would check out. Seems like a lot of these facilities are sitting on a bit of a real estate goldmine in which installation of solar panels and storage batteries could offset a lot of that consumption (in addition to being nicely synergistic with emergency power needs when grid power is interrupted).

counterpoint: those policies are not sustainable and can be easily defeated by someone simply setting up an endpoint somewhere not on any lists. if you have a security worry about devices being compromised by dint of their location, you need to control the location in some physical rather than logical way. if you have an HR worry about residency, I suspect those rules are going to slowly go the way of the dodo anyway.

"Racism" against white people in the US is completely devoid of systemic material consequence. Understanding definitions isn't about "mobs" or even ideology, it's about identifying what happens in incidents of racial bias and why those things happen.

O365 live collaborative document editing has been an absolute broken nightmare for us. We abandoned it in favor of Google Docs and everything has gotten a LOT easier.

Our general sense is that whatever MS is using for autoscaling the Sharepoint instances that run the service doesn't work. During busy work days Word loses its connection to the service constantly.
