How much data?

I vote that both are terrible solutions in the wrong situations (as already indicated by the others).

The hard part is getting people to use them properly!

If 'the business' has some ownership of their data and its mostly officey-crap, SP is probably fine and it's easier for them to see that it's secured and take some ownership of it. Chances are though that lots of the business units has little dips into each others data on the fringes...

(I'm just burned by a multi-TB file share a whole hospital uses where no one owns any of it and it's a tangled Gordian knot. Goes back decades, sitting on a SAN that doesn't give much visibility, just de-dupe)

What's wrong with traditional file shares?

SharePoint is best for Office docs. It's not great for anything else, especially binary files, or files that link to other files. And you'll probably run into file lock issues if they're edited by multiple people.

If there's a clear delineation you can use for separate sites, use it. For a ~40 person business we just had one site. For a ~4000 person business we had one for each business unit. It's just an additional layer. Quantity of files and folders could be a factor, depending on how much you will be using it.

Also, if you're in any kind of regulated industry, keep that in mind.

Main advantage to me is Granular permissions and segregation : each site can have different types of permissions associated and it's easier to delegate site management (you can let the user manage their site) while limiting blast radius in case of error.

what Linux distro I'm using,

I use arch btw

My problem is I'm always rocking an old thinkpad, and I don't want to "waste" any good stickers on something that could break at any moment. Better leave the stickers in a drawer.

I solved this differently. I have a framework and told my boss: "if i leave the company before the laptop is mine, ill pay the 100€ it costs to get a new top cover to replace the stickered one" :p.

Its a 5min job so ye hehe

Name on forehead.

It's been awhile, but part of my job used to be removing this and still... If you can tell what color the laptop is, then you obviously don't like the computer that much.

But then how people will know:

• what Linux distro I'm using,
• what programming languages I code in,
• what VTuber I could get a pack of stickers that I thought looked cool?

Especially if they are twins or triplets. How else can you tell them apart?

In the roms of an Angel…

Then the new hire complains to their boss that their machine is old and beat up. 🤬 Been there. Done that.

I was the sysadmin at a software dev, also responsible for purchasing and redistributing laptops. Fuck all your stickers! I expensed $3,213 worth of Goo Gone and paper towels!

"New hire coming, get them a laptop."

<looking at my pile of perfectly good, sticker covered laptops>

"I'll order a new one."

I would tattoo a baby

I'd check out that PowerPoint.

I just have specific subject instructional decks at this point, though they are all riddled with terrible jokes and puns.

Just how I like them.

I cannot dispute this.

Ahh, all our people work at desks inside, usually even when they're in the field. Dell aluminum shells don't retain or discolor much. A rubber/plastic ruggedized one would be a different story entirely.

Stickers make the computer go faster. Bonus points for hot rod flames.

Stickerbomb go BRRR

If only our turnover rate was that low... Getting them off isn't bad. It's the folk who work outside or by a window so the uncovered areas of chassis oxidizes faster than the areas under the stickers. When you take the stickers off you're left with those permanent tattoo marks.

I just offer to order staff those cheap laptop shells and they can put their stickers on those.

Meh. Most of our laptops stay with the user until replaced. If not, they usually come off pretty easily, and a little goo gone does the rest.

If they're really troublesome, I'll just take it for myself because idgaf, or give it to an intern.

Yeah, I use outlook in a browser and it's been doing weird shit I hate.i presume this to be by design.

If I try to add a hyperlink to an email it will insert the image I line, which isn't what I want. They added big obnoxious banners, and there's a placeholder advertising a premium version of outlook under it if you block it

Try dragging a folder inside another folder in your inbox and watch it disappear.
