One of the small joys of refusal visits to Japan is learning the ebb and flow of morning TV programs. And for me that is defined by the National broadcaster NHK. You know the morning has properly started at 8pm JST, when the morning drama opening credits fire up. It is a rotating program that airs for limited part of the year, opening and Unfolding for 15 minutes each morning, 8-8:15a. Topics can vary widely, but they are truly original, last year at this time it was a series about young women working at an electronics factory, that shuts down early in the series, then you follow the women as they find other jobs. This year, on this trip, the series is called “Half blue”, which seems to be about a young woman trying to be an artist/illustrator. It’s an interesting tradition NHK has developed, “Morning Drama” or Asa dorama as it is called in Japanese. I look forward to it every time I visit, even though I don’t speak Japanese, I feel like I can follow the story well enough.

Since the release of the cumulative update model, managing Windows updates has become a much simpler process.

Great little write-up regarding the process by which Win10 is updated completely offline and injected with updates, optimized and exported. Some people do this with MDT Task Sequences, to get monthly roll-ups, and Cumulative updates. But this is all commandline, with DISM and it’s multitude of switches and features. Is there anything DISM.exe cannot do? I wonder.

Today in the New York Times, a Bari Weiss column links to an OFFICIAL ANTIFA ACCOUNT that calls gay man Dave Rubin an anti-LGBT fascist. This is supposed to prove, according to Weiss, that the Left is out of control: Dave Rubin, a liberal commentator who favors abortion rights, opposes the death penalty and is […]

Full credit to Mike Caulfield (@holden on Twitter). This is the quickest most succinct takedown of a NYTimes columnist I’ve ever seen. Hands down he proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the lack of effort and due diligence put into what he and everyone else believes is the “national source of record” for news. NYTimes is not helping solve the Digital Polarization problem by having someone spend put so little effort into repeating the mistakes of Digital Polarization. That’s a fact Jack!

Every time I hear something about limiting screen time I cannot help but think about how poorly the concept has been thought out. If we talked about “food time” instead maybe that would help us think that while time matters (eating for hours each day is probably a bad idea), how long you eat probably…

Content, and context is everything when it comes to consumption. Not all consumption is bad. But know what it is you’re stuffing into you at all times. Mindfulness will out no what the activity may be.

So you have a Personal ConfigMgr lab, but you want to add some app deployments to better simulate your actual environment. So you add Chrome, Reader, and a couple others (NOT JAVA). Next Month, they are out of date. You probably don’t have time to keep your personal lab app deployments updated, so you keep…

Looking into doing this for the MDT Production Share I have at home. I’ve got Ninite installers I use manually to build and rebuild Win7 and Win10 PCs. But having this built-in as a task sequence on MDT would be fantastic. It would help immeasurably in automating the build process and get the final deployment much closer to being ready to deploy.
