Clickbaity title. It makes it sound like remote work for everybody everywhere almost broke because of this-or-that thing involving Microsoft and Asus. Not the case. The article is about some obscure issue for a particular company who trusted their IT to be handled by Active Directory in a Microsoft Azure cloud environment, involving Asus home routers. Hardly a general insight.
The root cause for this is the inability of our industry to properly define standards and then enforcing/sticking to them. Everybody just hacks something that kinda-sorta works and whoever has the larger market share is right and everybody else has to suffer, even if they themselves want to do the right thing and do it properly.
Let's face it, we all suck at this and have to pay for it with this kind of meaningless waste of time "troubleshooting".
