Office 365 Drive Mapping for Enterprise Desktops

Office 365 Drive Mapping for Enterprise Desktops allows users to utilize folder redirection for SharePoint Online, and it is especially helpful for Windows 7 desktops or higher with no local storage being used in the process. With this tool, you can map drives directly to your Office 365 storage options, such as OneDrive for Business, which is based in SharePoint Online.

Oooh, this one is pretty cool. I will have to play with it in the future.

Mac is not something you choose if you want to retain investments. Mac is an investment in keeping current with the Mac ecosystem. It's expensive, but it has its own value. But when you choose Mac, you choose an ecosystem where they, not you, determine not only the upgrade schedule and set of technologies to use but the entire ecosystem that you can use.

Yeah but they used to keep the Pro audio/video folks in mind with the Pro Lines. It looks like they are consumerizing the pro line more to get more volume in sales

I certainly hope not...

I know Lavabit closed it's doors a year or so ago because they rather close than continue to give access to government subpoenas.

Is it cool enough to walk on yet? "New island" sounds like a good way to burn your feet off.

That's probably why they waited two months.

The Pokemon computer.

I'll be impressed if they improve picture quality over 1080P - lots of 4K stuff gets compressed all to hell.

I think you are confusing Mariadb with MaraDNS there haha.

Scale is a big factor. It's the only reason google's crappy desktop motherboard, single psu. Single HDD model works. They have have a lot of nodes. The nodes, don't matter. The redundancy isn't in the nodes, it's in the network of the nodes.

Same logic for Facebook's datacenter or BackBlaze's storage pods. Disposable nodes in large quantity.

Downloading mine now.

Yikes
