The one about foreign languages

Sneek peak

No one needs to be convinced to learn the subject. This is one of those skills that will come in handy everywhere. And at work and in private life. This week I tested a little solution that the problem of not knowing languages can solve to some extent. The results of the first experiments made my jaw drop uncontrollably. And that doesn't happen often ??. A few words about this tool below. I also showed it live as part of yesterday's episode of Draft Rozmowy . Feel free to check it out!

[?? AI ??] We'll start today atypically, because not with a 微软 product. As you probably know, I happen to record quite a lot of videos (mainly training courses). I also often get questions, about other language versions of these recordings. It's never a simple thing and often there is no time to do it. To put it another way, the profit and loss account does not justify creating such versions. What if such recordings created themselves "on their own" and required virtually no preparation time? Sound like a pipe dream? Well, no! To the rescue here comes artificial intelligence and the platform https://app.heygen.com/ . The possibilities it has are amazing (more about that on the aforementioned podcast / live), and one of them is the creation of translated recordings. And no, it's not about subtitles. For testing, I used the announcement recording for the SharePoint Ninja: SharePoint Ninja - Application Academy course (you can find it at the top of the page). Then all I had to do was indicate the language (in my case Spanish) and in a moment I got to??. A hit for me!

[??? Viva ???] Each of us has some talents and super-powers. I know, it's a cliché. Note, there will be another one: in the work you do you probably get paid for these super powers. The bigger the company, the harder it is to manage such powers. And that's why a new Viva module was created, with the all-talking name - Skills. More and more Viva is starting to appeal to me. You can see the direction in which this platform is developing. I highly recommend you to read and watch how Viva Skills helps manage talent in an organization: Introducing Skills in Microsoft Viva, a new AI-powered service to grow and manage talent | Microsoft 365 Blog

[?? Power Automate ??] What is the fastest way to read large portions of data from tables in excel files? First, you can get rid of excel and transfer this data. This is always a worthwhile path to consider. But if you can't do that, then before you start designing your automation, it's essential to read this article: Fastest Way To Read Large Excel Table In Power Automate ( matthewdevaney.com ) by Matthew Devaney

[?? Power Apps ??] The topic is rather of the advanced kind, but given by Scott it is very easily digestible. I recommend it because it touches on a very important aspect of Dataverse operation, namely the so-called pagination.

[?? Entra ??] I've been hearing about the coming decline of passwords since the beginning of my professional career (read: a long time). We've long had the option of using biometrics, FIDO keys, or MFA. We also have a new option that has a chance to stir things up strongly on this topic. See how it works passkey??
