Just had THAT MOMENT in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, about 2 hours in. I can’t remember the last time a game made my jaw drop!

This is so important! Basic Auth doesn’t support even the most basic protections, including and especially MFA so it is a face of attackers, accounting for most of the account compromise we see. Get in front of the wave and disable basic auth *everywhere*.

Chuffed (and frankly, a bit surprised) that there is a Disney+ app in the Microsoft Store that seems to work. It's #Mandalorian time!

Can’t think of a better way of celebrating 35 years of Mario than breaking blocks with 34 other fans. I definitely recommend Mario 35 to Switch owners! #Nintendo

If you've got local accounts in your #AzureAD for outside vendors, but now they have their own tenants, then you can convert them to B2B so you don't need them to maintain a separate password. They keep the same group memberships and app assignments after conversion.
