  More worrying - "corrupt" files are full of zeroes & I can reproduce the behaviour 100%! Happens using explorer to copy file to @Azure Files share from Win 11 25H2 AVD session logged on with Entra & authed to share via Kerberos. Dragon drop from local C: to new, empty folder thinks about it for ~1 minute & then says file already exists!! Refresh & it appears but missing icon as empty. WTAF? Different VM to yesterday (same image). Copy with PowerShell & is ok so an explorer issue.

  @BlasikRandy @Azure Codex doesn't fix the problem of a cloud-native shell that's actually in the same region as the tenant with an effective set of security controls and behaves correctly in a chromium-based browser on multiple devices.

  Hey @Azure @MicrosoftForStartups — your startup credit application asked for NOTHING except a verified LinkedIn. I gave it. Got rejected. No reason given. No next steps. Nothing. How is a founder supposed to fix something when you won't say what's wrong? #Azure #Microsoft

  @Azure, you want to tell that someone from Afghanistan can create an account with you but a developer from Sierra Leone cannot create an account? Please fix this issue.

  Cloud bills must be going through the roof this month… lots of noise but also lots of signal to generate AI content… @Azure @awscloud

  Last month, @Azure acknowledged a billing issue that overcharged us by at least $60K for GPT-5.6 usage. We were not alone: many customers using Azure-hosted GPT-5.6 models were significantly overcharged between July 9, 18:00 UTC and July 22, 18:44 UTC. A full month later, the incorrect charges still appear on our latest bill. We have followed up every day, yet its billing team still has not corrected the wrong overcharges. If this happened at Alibaba or Tencent, leadership would be held accountable, possibly removed. At Azure, nobody seems to care. I’m beginning to understand why large U.S. companies often struggle to compete with startups, and why Chinese tech giants may eventually surpass their U.S. peers.

  My next quest will be to join the @Microsoft @Azure Team, build a namespace isolation feature for keys in Azure Key Vault service and then dip. How is it that I can have the same namespace feature present in AWS Secrets Manager in Key Vault

  And here is how: 1. Learn scoping. Every customer data scoped to itself inside the api key automatically. It Prevents data breach 2. Use @sentry @grafana @Azure api management. always monitor the APIs, because thats your business model 3. Learn designing APIs. APIs not starting with the code it starts with the contracts. Request contracts, Response contracts, Error contracts, design them properly

  Manual expense processing slows teams down. When Ramp faced this problem, it turned to the Microsoft Azure AI Platform to automate 5M receipts each month - saving the company 30,000 hours of work. 😱 Read the story to understand how AI makes it possible. @Azure

  Having to wade through bullshit to submit a problem on @Azure and just get hit with AI slop support. How on earth do you speak to a human to report an issue?

  @MicrosoftHelps I'm locked out of my Azure Free Trial admin account due to Microsoft Authenticator MFA. I can't access the 6-digit code and need urgent help to regain access or cancel my subscription. Please assist. @Azure @Outlook

  A big reason is because you can’t sign up for half of the hyperscalers. Today I tried to open an @Azure account today & the anti-bot mechanism was broken. I then tried @googlecloud & adding an address to billing was broken. They just don’t care anymore. 🤷

  @Azure @blackboxai This app and its owners are scammers. They take people's money but don't provide the service. There's no response. Many people have been victimized, as seen in the marketplace reviews. Why don't you protect your marketplace from these fraudsters?

  @guyrleech @Azure All of my clients have decided Windows App is a slow, unreliable piece of crap so I now have to wrap their session connections inside a script that checks that the VM(s) they want to connect to are already running and launch the old RD App session connection.

  @guyrleech @Azure That's why I have different brose profiles for each service I need to use frequently (avoids 100% this issue if used correctly) For accounts not used do frequently I do access using the incognito mode

  When audits involve thousands of regulated documents, even small delays matter. 🚨 Read how NSF faced this problem, and is now using @Azure AI to reduce audit time and human error risk to help life-saving treatments reach patients faster.
