Well done to Microsoft for having Microsoft Defender detect Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 as malicious

The Azure marketing team tomorrow after the MSFS 2024 launch and mainstream news pick up on it

Best meme so far

The game has 34k viewers on Twitch and almost every streamer is stuck at the first loading screen.

somebody thought using ChatGPT to explain the debug log in MSFS would work, lol https://www.reddit.com/r/flightsim/comments/1gv3tcf/investigating_the_issue_reportloadingtoml/

The Power of The Cloud, with Azure! I'm 12% loaded after 50 minutes.

@i_dabble it's neither. They definitely didn't plan the press, and you can't use it to micromanage people as packaged. They just basically had a concept and fumbled executing every aspect well due to lack of competence in understanding customers.

Oh god. Reddit is people stuck at the same place as me, or a small number who got in and are posting images like this.

Safe to say MS Flight Simulator 2024 may be a legendary game launch, the servers appear to have collapsed.

@wdormann an interesting Palo Alto thing is they're by far the most intrusive firewall vendor in terms of traffic - you build rules using app IDs rather than ports, it auto detects traffic, MITM TLS etc. It's really cool. Also... just how secure is that? Really?

PS: it's been hung for 5 minutes at "Loading languages" for me.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 launches today! #GossiAirways will be trying it.

The entire game is built around Azure and their AI services, with the whole planet streamed in live rather than a large local install - they call it a thin client.

So, strap in to find out if Microsoft face pies Azure marketing wise.

also no

If anybody from Microsoft marketing is reading, this blog makes claims but has no sources for the citations https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2024/11/19/windows-security-and-resiliency-protecting-your-business/

I almost feel sorry for Microsoft as I'm reading the Ignite reactions from journalists in the audience and they're basically being live roasted.

In a newly released blog entitled "Windows: AI-powered, cloud-enabled, and secure", Microsoft say the business versions of Windows will ship with Recall disabled by default - IT departments will have to enable the feature before it is available.

This is a smart move and frankly it was incredible that the original idea was to ship this enabled by default in business - it was never, ever going to fly and hopefully Microsoft is rightly humbled by the experience.

In five years you'll be able to get an executive job at Microsoft by just pitching "Why don't we rename Copilot Microsoft 365 E5 Suite to be... Microsoft Office"

8 years ago, me and my now boss were monitoring each other by running fake botnets

After rebranding Office 365 to Microsoft 365 next year they’re rebranding Microsoft 365 to the Copilot logo, which will in no way be confusing.

(This isn’t a parody toot).

@swapgs you forgot to tag it #directorytraversalmemes 🤣

@dwizzzle it’s good! But also I think the citations are missing, I just see the numbers.
