In the first episode of 2025, Nick and George break down Release Wave 1 2025 for Power Pages, separating real improvements from underwhelming updates. AI features take center stage, but do they actually add value? Discussion covers AI-assisted forms, web agents, and natural language queries, questioning their usefulness in real-world applications.
Modern lists get long-awaited updates, including JavaScript event support and metadata filters, finally closing gaps with classic lists. The ongoing file upload saga resurfaces, and the new virus scanning feature raises questions about effectiveness. A streamlined Microsoft Entra ID setup wizard promises easier authentication setup, but handling failed logins remains tricky.
A surprising security threat in social logins also comes up — cross-IdP impersonation —where external authenticator can let attackers register an account with someone else's corporate email.
With event portals moving from outbound marketing to Power Pages, the clock ticks toward a July 2025 deadline for migration. Anyone still using the old Angular-based event sites needs to start planning now.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
