Employers need to find a better way of using offices for hybrid working, says Slack, after a new survey suggested workers spend up to four hours on video calls. We should have an all-hands meeting to discuss
Multi-hour, of course (with the first 1/2 hour getting everyone settled and microphones muted)

During the annual Ignite conference, Microsoft showed a weird-looking (some even say it is cursed) screenshot of Windows 11 with a radical shell redesign. Maybe next they could have it run away from the mouse cursor?
Not having seen this presentation, I'd bet that it was a "simulation" and not really Windows. But I'm frequently wrong (as you all know too well). Personally, I'd have this in my "no, no, NO" category.

The Synthetic Party in Denmark is dedicated to following a platform churned out by an AI, and its public face is a chatbot named Leader Lars. "This is the voice of world control. I bring you peace."
It couldn't be worse, could it?

Can't be any worse than the Natural Stupidity now in politics.

That would be worse.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Microsoft Office collection of apps aren’t going away, but the first big brand change in 30 years sees Microsoft 365 take the center stage Out of Office message
|
|
|
|
|
I thought this change occurred a couple of years ago.
|
|
|
|
|
They've been pushing it as M365 for a few years now, but this is actually retiring the Office branding. So office.com will redirect, and they'll stop calling it Office all together. And of course everyone else will just follow along.

Not at the rate needed until you're close enough that you can't maintain a stable orbit.

"Blackhole gives birth to star"
versus
"Blackhole tears star apart"

If there is no ubiquitous no-code/low-code solution dominating the landscape, there's probably a reason why: We're using them wrong. Why? How? What?
That's right - I felt that the "thesis statement" of the article didn't happen until the sixth paragraph in a 10 paragraph "article". That's the sign of a quality point!

Write less articles, and write better ones?

There was a thesis statement?
This is one result of learning how to write via clickbait articles.
