Its about tactics - countries with autocratic leaders usually employ similar tactics where they e.g.

1. make a big change to some segment of law (more/less important - but has to be something that hits everyone or doesn’t make sense), so the media reports on that, then make changes to it again (due to public pressure), so that media and population gets these topics in waves, just so they make everyone blind to their corruption games they play in the background,
2. or they use some politician from their party/coalition to stir the pot in their ministry they lead by playing drama queens by accusing the opposition of corruption,
3. or they leave a “less important” political role to a crazy person, they do stupid shit that takes years to fix and you essentially have constant drama and info taking away everyones attention from the important stuff.
4. etc etc

But you get the point - calling it Gulf of America essentially gives you free patriotic bonus points from your followers and also makes your opposition / people invest in something that is, in the end, total waste of time (time which could be used for something else, like educating these populist/autocratic/however you call it tactics to everyone, so that your average Joe doesn’t get fooled by it so easily).

Honestly - this is from a playbook used by every autocratic administration: “Take the attention away from the more important things”. Seen it in EU constantly: Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, etc. So sure, report it, but be aware this is a charade.

Paywall.

I dont get it, why use such tooling for metadata?

Lets say you went with iOS notes and picture pulling, then you would just create a table in notes, paste the pic in the firm column and rest of data, such as washing instructions, color, etc. in the others. Heck, now you could just use excel or whatever table app is on iOS, instead of clunky notes, for eg pivoting and do whatever you want to do with it.

Honestly I cant find the exact one, but Reza Dorrani probably has this in his vids or you can go with something like this:

Tldr - in PowerApps you design the form and buttons, which set a value on a sharepoint list, after which you can set up the view as shown on the vid ive shared. I wish i could help more, but my PowerApps/Automate knowledge is limited.

If you own an iPhone, just take pics of your wardrobe and then “cut” pictures of actual clothes into notes? Imho ERP like system would be an overkill, at least for me.

PowerApps + PowerAutomate then? If you have such licenses and wanna go native MS then this works like a charm, even on mobile. Doesnt take long to prepare, i think it is even a PA example that MS has. Ill try to find it.

Edit: I know this is a selfhosted community but MS tools work well with MS tools :D

Afaik, MS Teams now has a native status thing, which shows you as either in Office or WfH. Would that suffice?

Edit: it doesn’t show up on my iOS app, so maybe it is on desktops only.

Honestly, it depends on your role within the company as well - if you are a CxO or from IAM/UAM domain, then you can just define a model for this particular “tool” and announce the upcoming change (ie prepare the roles and all, and then clean up existing roles/accesses) that X will happen in next, lets say, 45 days. This will make everyone jump on you of course, buuuuut thats what you want, as at least you will suddenly get people msging you regarding the “why” they need xyz role - et voila you now have your high level list of processes; adjust roles where needed and continue.

My view on this is that it also kinda depends on the company hierarchy and its sector, but you should be a little dictator - youll reap the rewards for being effective; its the others who ignored your call2action who are to blame :D

Create a model based on processes? Eg least priv for helpdesk for passwords, machine/intune mngt, etc., call it L1. Then add some roles for reporting, wiping/isolating machines or similar for the security team (call it L2 admin), etc.

Obligatory xkcd.
