Optimizing Microsoft Learn Experiences on the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop
Hello Microsoft Learn Community, I recently acquired the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop, equipped with an AMD Ryzen™ 5 7530U processor, 16 GB of LPDDR4x memory, and a 512 GB SSD. Its 360-degree hinge and touch-enabled WUXGA display have been particularly beneficial for interactive learning sessions. While navigating Microsoft Learn's interactive modules, the laptop's performance has been commendable. The touch functionality enhances the experience, especially during coding exercises and interactive labs. However, I've observed that certain high-resolution videos and complex simulations occasionally cause minor lags. I am reaching out to gather insights from fellow community members: Performance Optimization: Are there specific settings or configurations within Microsoft Learn that can enhance performance on devices like the IdeaPad Flex 5 Gen 8? Resource Management: Would upgrading to a higher RAM variant or adjusting system settings provide a smoother experience during resource-intensive modules? Browser Compatibility: Have users noticed performance differences between browsers (e.g., Edge, Chrome) when accessing Microsoft Learn on similar hardware? Additionally, I came across Microsoft's initiative of Learning Rooms, which offer collaborative environments guided by experts. Has anyone utilized these rooms on the Ideapad Flex 5 Gen 8 Laptop? I'm curious about the device's compatibility and performance in such settings. Looking forward to your experiences and recommendations. Best regards, Alice CarryHow can avoid over consumption in Azure cloud esp AKS ?
Over consumption is Azure Kubernetes services can lead to unnecessary costs and resource wastage if you are not leverage properly. here are some key things to avoid it. 1.Right size your cluster: a. Optimise Node pools: use appropriate VM size for worker nodes based on work load requirements. do not go more than what is required. b.Use Autoscaling feature to scale nodes up/down c.Set requests & Limits: define CPU and memory requets/lmits for pods to prevent over allocation. 2.Optimise workload scaling 3.Enable Monitoring to see the optimise costs 4.Use managed AKS instead of Shared AKS 5.Use azure files or managed disk efficiently to optimise the storage 6.Cleanup unused resources. delete idle work loads, unused namespaces.Help with SharePoint connection issues
Hello, Quite suddenly, and now frequently, our spreadsheets on SharePoint are having difficulty saving. This was only a rare occurrence previously, but now happens to us regularly. It is so bad that we will have to stop using SharePoint if we can't figure out why it is doing this. Can anyone provide some advice as to what could be going on? We get errors saying we can't connect to the server and that it could be our internet connection. I highly doubt it's our internet connection as it is happening on many different connections all of which don't have problems connecting to other things. Do we have too much saved on our SharePoint perhaps?
Setting Authorization Cookie in .Net 7 core
Hi, I was working with a web application where i have already implemented methods to set the authorization cookie in the startup of the project. Recently I came across implementing a power BI dashboard in my application Since the power BI has some strict content security policies which only allows the Microsoft related domains like teams and share point to implement the reports ,it blocked the report being rendered in my app thus i switched to the embed API of power Bi, While configuring the power BI settings in the startup The power BI also configured some Auth Cookies .Since my application already implements the auth cookies it conflicted with the existing implementation causing Build errors. I Tried setting the cookies in the power BI configuration and then added the required cookie settings of my application to the cookie being set in the power BI configuration . But it still shows no Use ,My application wont recognize the claims and cookies being set in the power BI configuration thus throwing error while logging into the Application

How do I reactivate my Comcast email?
I created a work item that has a required multi-select field. When I pull up the work item in Edge, I can see that the field is a required muti-select field.

Dear Techcommunity.Microsoft, Had to get a new MacBook Pro (OS Monterey 12.2.1), and up-to-date Microsoft. When I go to attach a file (in Outlook for Mac version 16.59), it shows the files with "Date Added" rather than "Date Modified". I don't care 'when' I created them, I just want to know I am attaching the correct one, I.E. the one I probably had just finished working on. In Finder, the files DO show "Date Modified". I'm sure it's probably something simple - but I have no idea. Please be gentle, e.g. 1, 2, 3 type instructions - I'm no techie! Do hope someone can help. Best wishes, Pippa60Viva Engage praise functionality
Is there any way to add praise badges directly in a Viva community? I am wanting to add praise relating to our company values, so I would ideally like to add custom badges for team members to select when praising someone. I am aware that in teams you can add a badge with praise, however, I can't see if you can customise these badges and also use them directly in Viva communities Thanks in advance
Forwarding email if the aimed adress doesnt exist?
Hi, I have setted my own domain in Entra. Is it possible to forward emails, which are sended to a none existing adress of my domain to a existing one? For example, an email send to ajnsfvfxdcb@mydomain (doesnt exist) should be forwarded to email_grabber@mydomain (does exist). Is it possible to handle this? Maybe there is another way to work around? Greetz, TomekOpening PDF documents in Adobe Reader as default when in SharePoint

Hello, I have created both Standard Planner and Planner Premium. When using Power Automate to list tasks, it only retrieves tasks from Standard Planner but not from Planner Premium. I tried using the Microsoft Graph API /planner/plans/{planId}/tasks, but it does not return tasks from Planner Premium. I also checked app permissions in Azure AD and tested the API in Postman and Power Automate, but it still does not work. These methods have been either too complex or have not given any results. Is there any alternative way to list tasks from Planner Premium? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Some engineers start to provision services manually before they find out this might not be a good thing for the long run. So, they must use Terraform import. If you are using Hashicorp’s Terraform to manage your infrastructure, you can bring existing resources that have been provisioned outside of Terraform. This tuto help you to import Azure resources into a terraform state file. You can do that locally or if you want to initialise the tfstate in a remote local (form a Storage account) So, we are going to import a resource group, a virtual network and a subnet that are created manually; Screenshot from the portal (for the manual resources) First step : create a tf configuration file using manually created resource information (See Screenshot) ***** For you information, we use a tfstate stored remotely in a storage account Second Step : Import Resource details to terraform State After creating the configuration tf file, we can import these resources into it by using the "terraform import" command : terraform import terraform_id azure_resource_id 1- Resource Group : terraform import "azurerm_resource_group.rg_name_auto" "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6" You can find : **The terraform_id **The azure_resource_id 2- The Vnet : terraform import "azurerm_virtual_network.vnet_auto" "/subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxid/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/d-210-vnet-ado-si-p-to-1" 3-The Subnet : terraform import azurerm_subnet.sub_auto /subscriptions/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxid/resourceGroups/d-210-rg-ado-si-p-to-6/providers/Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/d-210-vnet-ado-si-p-to-1/subnets/d-210-snet-ado-si-p-to-2 So, before use this commands, please : 1- access the code folder : cd folder_code 2- connect to the subscription (where you have deployed the manual resources) : az login Select-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId "copy-past the id of the subsc" 3- Terraform init : terraform init -backend-config storage_account_name=xxxxxxxx -backend-config container_name=tfstate -backend-config resource_group_name=xxxxxxxx -backend-config key=xxxxxxx.tfstate Okey, now we can lunch the commands for import config : RG : Vnet: Subnet : Now, you can see the result : terraform state list you can see the content of each imported resource via the following commands: terraform state show azurerm_resource_group.rg_name_auto terraform state show azurerm_virtual_network.vnet_auto terraform state show azurerm_subnet.sub_auto Third Step : Test by running the terraform plan Finally, we can verify the imported resources in the tfstate file. For example, we can see the imported subnet. The purpose of this tutorial is to know the steps to import resources that are manually configured to the tfstate file
