As I mentioned in my previous post about building a Raspberry Pi weather station, one of my goals is to move to a Pi Zero W.

One of my longer-term side projects is to build a weather station. For starters, I belong to a kayaking club, with a boathouse on the water, and one of the chief concerns of paddlers is the weather conditions, especially wind speed and direction.

In the Microsoft 365 Compliance Center, new and old solutions have been grouped together into new categories. Microsoft built out a number of solutions in Office 365 incrementally, and this re-organization groups them together by business processes, hopefully in a way that is meaningful to users and administrators of M365 Compliance. One of these categories … Continue reading “M365: Discover & Respond”
