Start with the FabricTools PowerShell module | Azure Player Managing Microsoft Fabric at scale quickly becomes painful if you rely only on the UI. Workspaces, capacities, and tenant-level settings all need repeatable, scriptable management.

I'm happy to publish the first post of the series:

@cathrinew.net You said something loudly that I'm thinking about for months... however, I'm not that close to Fabric atm, because working with a client who has an entire EDP built on Databricks + Power BI (should I say Fabric? ;) )

BLOG ALERT!

Four months of LLM use = measurable brain decline. Like GPS destroyed spatial navigation, AI atrophies thinking. Let's talk about the research, warning signs, workplace implications, and practical solutions.

This is bigger than we thought. The analogy here is on point. I'm pretty OK with the fact that I stopped thinking when driving with Navigation, but I would not be happy if the same happened when and how I'm working. Scary! We need to find the right balance.

Nice set up Klaus! I love Unify since I replaced all my network stuff at home lately. In my case I have only 2.5GbE as maximum for few devices but that is sufficient, and I’m testing the second NAS (TrueNas) with this speed and it works awesome.
