Thread 'Copilot Audit Gap in Microsoft 365: AI Prompt Logging and Compliance Risk'

Thread 'Ditch Windows 10 for Privacy in 2025: ESU, Windows 11, LTSC, or Linux'

Thread 'Zoom's Enterprise AI Engine: Churn, Growth, and the Long Game'
Headline: Zoom’s Enterprise Engine: AI, Churn, and the Long Game There’s a difference between a rebound and a turnaround. Rebounds are optical: the chart zigs up after it zagged down.
