Some Raspberry Pi stuff for my Display TV's in the IT room.

You should do a ML How-To on it.

Watching the middle child at karate

One day my knees will be healthy enough to return to Taekwondo.

Gave up on that wish long ago... my knees are 'blown'... so is my back... (tries to reach knot currently in said back)

Using a test account to see what minimum Office 365 rights I need to grant to one of the devs to do my tasks while I'm at MangoCon.

Meh,.. none - let NTG handle it....

Working in the marketing department now?

Why does it have to be limited to Office / Office 365? There are a few things that I use/used that just don't work in Linux - Correctable? sure,.. but at the vendor level - They don't have a Linux version; MAC and Windows yes,.. Linux no.

While is case is Skype a MS product - the sub product is not; my Jabra headset - which I use daily to receive phone and skype calls.

Using it with the Yealink phone is no trouble. it's when I go to use Skype that I have the issue. I have to manually answer the Skype call, which means I have to be at the computer. And then I have to change the audio settings so the audio out uses the headset over the speakers - and when done, I have to reverse the process.

It's a simple solution - go back to Windows - and wait for Jabra to release a Linux version.

This is the biggest issue with moving any shop to a Linux OS - end user solutions.

Linux OSes have solutions for most anything in the DC, but end user - all those gadgets, mini apps, etc - they just aren't there for Linux OSes.

No - they aren't.. but in some cases it's the reverse as well. They are in Linux but not Windows..

@scottalanmiller: Ugh, Let's not go there. <rant> I'm tired of users telling me their email addresses and then specifying "all lower case" or clarifying a URL with "is this all lower case or upper?" </rant>

U+004DU+0061U+006EU+0078U+0061UU+006D

URLs are actually specific cases, or can be. You can hide all kinds of things or make them annoying for users that way.

Ha - yea...really screw with their minds with the same URL address just one upper and one lower,.. points to different pages,.. then flip them

@dustinb3403 said in If a business were all linux would they use Office 365:

So the topic specifically was using Office365 via web, not with the install-able option. Of course a business would be able to take that route, but is there a good reason to do so when Office365 does as good of a job as it does?

Would a business opt to use a different solution entirely?

Very likely - as that has been the standard - to install the application on the local - in a LANless style system, they may not need / be able to.
