Yeah. That’s crazy, no way.

Was it “actual” cost from a POC or perceived cost from docs?

One environment we tested in they had 1TB of allotted storage and turning it on only added 2GB since it was compressed files in Dataverse but we wasted a day hypothesizing before realizing it was no added cost.

Alex Power[s] @itsnotaboutthecell.com · 5h

Fully agreed, admittedly when customers have turned it on in their environments with their allotted storage limits, I've not personally seen any "yet" that have gone over and have been required to purchase the add-on storage.

But that doesn't mean it isn't an issue for those who have hit the limit.

DAFUQ?... I'm lost, is this a TikTok trend or a cult initiation?

“Custom feed” :)

@graze.social how long does it take before these tags show up in my customer feed? 2 hours ago seems like a long time.

Me when I had Excel 2010 and had to convince IT to allow the Power Query Add-In installer.

Luckily the admin was a big champion for me and a lifelong friend now. She changed my career!

I know, I know... Bluesky has been up and down with waves of users joining but it's a sad plateau at the moment :(

It's a great place if you want to be alone with your thoughts for deep reflection at times :)

Do people even post on Twitter though? Honest question since I left, as it was already dying over there.

Alex Power[s] @itsnotaboutthecell.com · 1d

After finding out that most older feeds were getting rate limited by some providers, I made the jump to @graze.social and created a Microsoft Data & AI feed. Check it out and subscribe, I've got most of the basic keywords in but I'm open to more ideas.

SUBSCRIBE!

Man, there's a reason @bowensofficial.bsky.social is my favorite wrestler - impeccable taste in bands. #wakelee is another one on the list.

Hopefully, you're coming to the Lou this Saturday for #Wrestledream

They’re so old LLMs can generate the XML in just a few prompts, I’m sure of it.

Ok, I built a @graze.social feed - we'll see how long it takes to hydrate 🤷‍♂️
