Project based learning in azure? Any suggestions?
So, I need to learn azure really fast. I learn best by doing. I can't just watch video after video without actually making something work. Problem I have though is azure cost a lot of money to use. A few months ago, I did something in azure... I'm sure most people do, where I created something and then left it. Few days later I had a few thousand dollar bill in Azure. I just let it go into default and now I can't use that account anymore. I need to find a program that I can make a project in azure. But, it will cost money. I know about the $200 free credits. But, Microsoft seems to recognize me no matter how I sign into Azure and it always tells me that I am not eligible for the $200 credit. So, I'm stuck with a pay as I go. I can't be racking up hundreds of dollars every month just to learn Azure. It would be so nice if there was just a sandbox account I could rent from some company that wiped itself daily or weekly. Does something like that exist? But, I need something project. I need to make something work. I need to get into it. I need for me to struggle to get it to work, things to break, me to pull my hair out a little figuring it out (which means I'll need to probably leave whatever I build running a while as I troubleshoot and can't have it cost a fortune.) I know about budget alerts. But, at the same time, the videos I've watched have mentioned over and over that alerts will not stop the billing either.554Views0likes0CommentsHow do I stop my Outlook autodiscover when I setup a profile from trying to connect to MS servers?
I moved off of O365. I am now self hosting my emails with an on premises server. Sending/receiving emails is working perfect. But I can only use the web app. I'm trying to connect Outlook to my personal email server and, everytime I put in my email address, it redirects me to a microsoft login screen. I'm assuming something to do with DNS, but I checked my DNS records and I don't see anything pointing to microsoft servers for that domain.1.2KViews1like1CommentSound coming out computer speakers when have headset on?
Does anyone have any ideas why when I'm on a meeting with teams, I get audio out my usb headset as well as my pc speakers? It's not really loud out the pc speakers. It's actually really quiet, but it's definitely there. First few times I heard it, I thought it was coming from behind my laptop. If I mute the speakers, it stops, but I also loose my audio in my usb headset. I can't seem to find a way to turn off the speakers but leave the headset on. I've also tried to call into the meeting and use a bluetooth headset. I still hear the same talking out of the computer. I mute my speakers completely (by clicking the speaker icon and clicking the speaker on the very left of the pop-up) and I still get the talking out of the laptop. Like I said, first few times, I didn't think it was coming from the laptop. I guess I'm still not 100% sure. This is my work PC. I have a port replicator hooked to it. Maybe its coming from that? The talking is very low so it's hard to pinpoint where it's coming from.10KViews0likes1Comment
