  • We as a species make up terms on a daily basis, so I feel the liberty to do the same. Glad it doesnt give any results because it indicates original thought.

    If large parts of the supply chain consist of suppliers (vendors) on the other side of the earth, one can focus on one vendor lock-in or one by one (for analytical purposes) and optimise for that but often the bigger picture of a complex supply chain is missed.

    Hence the aggregated lock-in.

    But to avoid futher confusion maybe supply-chain lock-in is a better term and yields searchs results.










  • It seems like a no-brainer but actually no.

    Quick test would be for example if there are:

    • at the beginning of the music library a lot of “no artist name” “no album name” entries, so the foldername isn’t used at all.
    • a lot of artist with their own entry with just one album and one song because the actual albumartist collaborated on one song with them and the mp3 resides in the same folder but they got split in the library.
    • if the player doesn’t show music which isn’t part of Playlist.

    So my conclusion is their are even 3 types and corresponding mangement:

    • Folder based requires file management
    • Meta data based requires tag management
    • Playlist based requires Playlist management

    Often players make combinations also I guess.







  • My understanding is roughly, for example:

    • Microsoft Word desktop application: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Word online: SAAS (just like any other service accessible by browser but not a “localhost”)
    • Onedrive: SAAS, storage with local explorer integration.
    • Exchange server on prem: not SAAS, increasingly diffucult to do.
    • Exchange server by MS: SAAS
    • Microsoft Outlook Classic for desktop: not SAAS.
    • Microsoft Teams for desktop: SAAS although local install but its just another frontend instead of browser.
    • Office365: SAAS but really a container for every tool in the MS online toolbox together.

    Some caveats: Word handles spellchecker in their cloud and clippy 2024 (Copilot) integration blurs the line.
