I'm not a fan of the new Outlook. For the same reasons already mentioned. Also, there is no way to make consolidated "Unread" and "Flagged" search folders. I have rules set up to move emails to folder when it is received. The new Outlook forces me to look in every folder for unread messages.

It will be available on the 22H2 release.

Intel isn't that concerned about Apple's M series. Just like its A series iPhone and iPad CPUs the M series is Apple only. When Apple dumped Intel as its CPU chip provider, it didn't really put much of a dent in Intel's market share. Qualcomm and nVidia will be competing directly against Intel...

True. I can see Qualcomm's being popular in the business laptop market. I know of many use cases where a lightweight Windows laptop with M365 running the Snapdragon X Elite and an integrated unlocked 5G capability would work. The only thing holding ARM based Window PCs back is the app and...

Qualcomm: We have a chip that can compete in the ARM CPU space. Intel: Meh.. . We don't think it's going to be much of a threat. Me: I'm thinking Intel is about to let themselves get kicked in the nuts.

You need to tell them to switch that license over to your new computer. I had this happen with my daughter's Surface Go Laptop. It came with Windows 11 Home. I upgraded to Pro. However, I had to do a warranty replacement. When I received her new one, it had Home on it. I called and spent about...

That path IS on your PC. OneDrive doesn't remove the files from your PC unless you tell it to. The files are in the cloud (OneDrive) with a copy on your PC in that OneDrive path. If you delete those files from that file path, it will delete the OneDrive cloud copy. Likewise, if you were to...

Actually, by keeping those 1400 people it is eating costs. Sticking to inefficient processes or keeping unproductive workers on the payroll is eating costs; it eats into LinkedIn's budget. LinkedIn doesn't have an unlimited budget; 1,400 people at an average salary of $65,000/year is $91,000,000...

I'm stating reality. I suppose Microsoft could just lay a bunch of people off. Like a few thousand, or so. That would help. But, essentially saying, "Yeah! Stick to the man!" shows a fundamental lack of education. Microsoft is a business, not a charity.

Out of around 221,000 total employees? I suppose Microsoft could just keep eating costs until it goes out business. Then around 220,000 people would be out of jobs. 1,400 is a drop in the bucket. Easily absorbed into other tech companies.

Thank you, professor, for the sage comment. Of course, I know I'm not being forced to pay Microsoft. I had a really long explanation as to why I choose to voluntarily pay Microsoft for its amazing services it is providing me. But, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze. By saying that this...

I thought about jumping back in with the Duo or maybe the Duo 2. But, neither phone could do what my Note 10+ and later my S22 Ultra could do. Samsung Pay, wireless charging, integrated S pen/stylus, etc. But my Note 10+ and S22 Ultra did all of that, plus I could integrate using Link to Windows...

All of you who want to see Microsoft get slammed. The cost of any Microsoft products will go up. Do you really think it will eat the cost? Small businesses are going get hit too.

This past weekend I asked ChatGPT to: "Write me a paper about how technology is causing our skills to atrophy." This is what it wrote for me: Title: The Atrophy of Skills in the Age of Technology Abstract: The rapid advancement of technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way we live...

I would love to see Microsoft jump back into the mobile market with its own OS. However, the market is so saturated that unless it can do more than the current Android (by Android, I mean Samsung) offerings, then it will be a non-starter. Even the Duo and Duo 2 (both very good devices) didn't...
