Tip of the week: Watch out for Win 11 autocorrect!
Did MJF have one too many beers? Or did Notepad really change words in a story I was typing this week? Here’s how to turn off autocorrect (which is on by default) in Win 11.
App pick of the week: Chrome OS Flex
It’s early and a bit buggy, but Chrome OS Flex can turn an older Windows PC—or a non-compliant for Windows 11 PC—into a Chromebook. Related: Pixels will soon be able to stream apps to Windows PCs! Take that, Microsoft.
Enterprise pick of the week: The beginning of the end for ADFS
There’s a new public preview of certificate-based authentication for Azure AD. This seems like it means ADFS, a Win Server role used to federate with Azure AD, won’t be needed when CBA is used. CBA lets companies authenticate using x.509 certificates without a federation service.
Enterprise pick 2 of the week: Two new virtual events for your calendars
Microsoft’s first Azure HPC + AI Days: Feb 24-25
What’s Next in Security event: Feb 24
Beer pick of the week: Finback Orange Puffs
Continuing with the MJF drinks something so you don’t have to, I present Finback Brewing’s Orange Puffs. It sounds good: blood orange and vanilla sour fruited style. But.. No. Tastes like orange soda, not beer. YMMV, though, as I see a number of drinkers on Untappd saying they loved it.
