@VaenshineX Correct, it's not just removing the notification itself.

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

PowerShell 7.6.8 is released on GitHub and will be available via WinGet soon.

It's a maintenance release that moves the .NET SDK to 10.0.402 and somewhat ironically removes the update notification feature from PowerShell, per customer feedback. 🗣️

@AdamGell Happy for you! What are you digging into?

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@RunAsRadio Great advice!

“My number one piece of advice is: What's your core? What are the core things you need? Because you don't have to roll out every tool out there.”

Joy Apple talks on RunAs Radio at https://t.co/lP4C6rUCbw about the choices in M365.

@DebugPrivilege People still use php? 😉

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@merill @xenappblog Haha, often true!

@xenappblog @merill I don’t get why people here love to dump on LinkedIn. It’s just as active in my feed. 😂

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@svrooij Bluesky or LinkedIn?

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

It felt like we would never see a day when the Microsoft Graph PowerShell module would implement ALC and help solve dependency conflict issues.😩That day is finally here, thanks to @svrooij! 🎉👏 Release 2.41.0 is hot off the press with his excellent #mvpbuzz-worthy work!🙏💛

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@awakecoding Ugh, or that feeling when you find a good tool, share it, and someone says, "can we write this ourselves using AI?"

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@jeffteper Is the update going to get rolled out automatically or will it need to get enabled and pushed by admins?

@systemofdoom What, no Tor client? Somebody was slacking off.

@techspence I can relate to this a lot and I don't like it--but progress always comes at a cost!
(And progress doesn't always mean what one might initially think!)

Folks, for years people assumed Azure Active Directory ran on Active Directory.

It didn’t. It never did.

That confusion is one of the reasons Microsoft renamed it to Entra ID.

Some folks (looking at you @PrzemyslawKlys 👀) still haven’t gotten the memo.

There’s a second myth that’s even more costly. That you need domain controllers in the cloud to manage your servers.

You don’t. And Tarek explains why it’s not just unnecessary, it’s a real security risk.

So be honest. Are you still running DCs in the cloud?

[Sam Erde @SamErde]

@PrzemyslawKlys No, not really. For me, the shape has stayed fairly consistent even though counts have risen.

I think most people multi-tasking with agents could benefit from slowing down

most of the stuff you're doing wont really matter- what's your P0? what would it look like if you gave it your full attention?
