This is a show about Microsoft 365 and Azure, from the perspective of IT pros and end users, where we discuss the topic or recent news and how it relates to you. In this episode, Ben completely derail Scott from our plan topics, by bringing up things such as lawsuits in the technology space, the Microsoft duo and the DataFlex rename. Then we wrap up the show by talking about the newly released public preview feature, assigning groups to Azure AD roles. Record, recording all the things. - All of them, all the time, - Including Scott in his Batman shirt. - That's right. - Hey Scott, should we start doing video? Should we start actually putting the video of this out on YouTube? - We could. - Or should we start live streaming this to YouTube? We've talked about this in the past, but I don't know that we've ever talked about it publicly and I just kind of suckered you in out of the blue. - We can do whatever you want Ben, I'm here to support you. - Yeah, you're here to support me. I don't know, we should come up with something to do. We should do, maybe we should start by just posting the videos. And then if we get ambitious stream because streaming always brings complications. - Yeah, we know how that goes. - Yeah. And then we can add it, although to be fair, neither one of us are probably gonna edit video. We'll just throw like an intro out on there and an outro on there and say, "Here, YouTube have fun with this." - Something like that. How better would it be, if we, could we embed a video in a video. - We could have the inception of podcasts, right? - Yeah. - I have a TV back here, maybe I can put the video of us. Oh, there, there's the TV. I could raise it up, put a video of us on there and have the whole inception effect. - I mean, most of it's gonna be just me with a coffee cup in front of my face. - Whatever, man makes it that way every once in a while too. So I have a question for you, Scott, the junior you can confuse pear logos and Apple logos. - Well, yes, if you've ever watched Nickelodeon show, you would know this. - Yeah, my kids aren't, we haven't introduced them to Nickelodeon yet. - No, it would have been like Nickelodeon when you were a kid. - Oh. And you're expecting me to remember that. I didn't have Nickelodeon when I was a kid either we didn't pay for cable. My parents are Dutch, aka cheap. So we never had cable. - Well, we played outside. - In the way back when in all Nickelodeon shows, all Apple products would have a pear logo on them. - Got it. Yeah, I don't remember that. But this is not related to Nickelodeon's pear, Apple is actually suing a company of five employees because they're green, obviously pear logo can get confused with Apple's black Apple logo. I mean we can throw a link to like the image in the screenshots. They look absolutely nothing alike and people are furious at Apple, which understandably so this is a little bit of a ridiculous lawsuit. - Yeah, I gotta pick the brands. - You gotta protect the fruit. I've actually heard Apple have sued several companies whenever somebody comes out with another fruit logo, they just sue them. I think Apple thinks they own all the fruit or something, who knows, that's my random news for the day. - That is fairly random. - We could talk about lawsuits all day long today, cause there's another interesting one that hit yesterday, that you had mentioned. - That I had mentioned? - That you had mentioned wasn't it yesterday?
