[justin serb-ert 🇷🇸🍉 @markocantdunk]

This tip-out is my favorite individual basketball play ever. Rest in peace to Brandon Clarke. Thinking about his teammates today. There are endless pictures of them with Brandon smiling and embracing. I hope they can find some peace, along with his family.

@mollyhannahm At least they don't look any happier than we are 😜

#bwi hope you all don't think getting inside means anything, the hidden queues are heartbreaking

Pathetic job by #Baltimore

100% missing my flight and been here 5 hours...

AI training that stops at “click this Copilot icon” sets people up to struggle.

Teach people to ask better questions.
Show examples of good prompts.
Model how to review and improve AI responses.

Those skills matter more than a button tour.

Was only watching on the #espn app /web only, dunno what happened at the end of the game but #georgia fans just following via the app will be very disappointed when they catch what really happened in the #olemiss game, lol

Wishful thinking? Leaked script? Regular bug? 😁

[Laura Rogers, Microsoft MVP @WonderLaura]

Have you tried the new App Builder agent?
1. Ease of Use: Create custom apps without coding knowledge.
2. Integration: integrates with other M365 services.
3. Productivity: streamline app creation
4. Customization: Use prompts to tailor apps to requirements.

The Doorman Fallacy
'You have a five-star hotel and it has a doorman, welcoming incoming guests.

McKinsey or Accenture will come in and say, “Your doorman currently costs you X thousand dollars a year. We have defined his or her function as opening the door. We’ll replace said doorman with an automatic door-opening mechanism and an infrared human detector and we’ll save you $30–$40,000 a year.”

They walk away, and they take the credit for the cost savings. Two years later, the hotel’s a catastrophe ... because the doorman was doing multiple things, many of which were human and kind of tacit.

Security would be one; there are no vagrants asleep in the doorway. Hailing taxis, dealing with luggage, recognizing regular guests, providing status to the hotel—there are loads and loads of value creation components to that doorman which aren’t captured in the open-the-door definition."

It's easy to see the visible things, but the invisible things make the difference.

Companies are slow to adopt AI due to security policies, but employees are already using tons of AI apps. This is creating a massive shadow IT problem that's growing faster than ever. #AI #ShadowIT

[Christian Buckley @buckleyplanet]

Rushing into AI? Many misunderstand the long-term strategy needed. Think of it like planting trees—it's about careful cultivation, not instant results. Are you in it for the long haul? #AIStrategy #TechAdoption

Let's dig into the new #Microsoft365 #Copilot #Retrieval API watching this short video https://t.co/IOl6yfqImW and realize the potential of using natural language to query your enterprise data via #REST #API! #microsoft365dev

[Brent Ellis @Brentless]

@SpacesGrizzlies Nah, people just trying to shake the boat because they think Jaren or Ja available, poison the water to make it "easier" to peel them away. Big nothing burger at the end of the day.

[Paul Young @mayorpaulyoung]

My thoughts on @stephenasmith’s statement about Memphis:

[Brent Ellis @Brentless]

@jakerandall GameStop in North MS, struggling with the corp guidance. going to give tickets to people waiting, to lock their place in line, and must stay ALL DAY, then ring people up slightly before 11. Then release. The workers desperately trying to switch to the 3pm thing.

Great article on the Microsoft Security Blog explaining how we can use custom site properties (property bag values mapped to Managed Properties) to apply Microsoft 365 Retention with Adaptive Policy scopes in #Purview.
