title: lnxw48a1: @fu That's good news. One thing I dislike about #Win11 is the extra step added to the start menu. First is the pinned programs and recommendations with a little "all programs" button. Click that and the regular start menu appears. Seems bizarre that the primary UI improvement that made #Win95 such a revelation is repeatedly erased or subverted in subsequent #Microsoft operating systems. I remember #Win3.1 and MacOS having program icons and folders containg such icons scattered all over the desktop. The start menu was a huuuuge improvement.

title: lnxw48a1: I’ll try and post a link later, but I saw an article that claims that researchers found unprecedented security holes in #Microsoft #Azure ( #MSAzure ) cloud platform and that #MSFT’s own logging and monitoring wasn’t capable enough to catch the breaches. Escaping from the customer VM into the management backplane and then going from there into random customers’ VMs is probably not something that should be possible, but in the rare occasion that an exploit is found, the company’s internal monitoring should have picked it up.

title: lnxw48a1: @fu I know that anti-trust law is complex, but one doesn't need much more than a pulse to see that merging one of the biggest gaming software houses with one of the biggest gaming hardware and services houses is going to harm competition ... and that means it will harm gamers. I didn't follow the trial much, but the #FTC should have shown up with thousands of pages of exhibits, hundreds of experts testifying, and a timeline of past #Microsoft ( #MSFT ) anti-competitive acts to show a propensity. Not that this should have been the first such merger they tried to block. The federal government doesn't really seem to get that "a free market" can only happen when neither individual buyers nor individual sellers have enough market power to force their chosen prices and terms upon the other party. Thus, in a situation where there are really only three gaming console hardware vendors worldwide and the software vendors have to contract with the hardware vendors for each specific game, there can never be a free market and governmental authorities have to whack the vendors with a stick periodically to make them play fairly with one another and with the gaming customers who buy their products and services. Or, you know, break those giant corporations up into multiple smaller organizations and prevent them from coordinating their pricing, promotion, production, etc in ways that hurt the gaming customers. I know that #USDOJ missed its chance around 1999-2001, when it had won its case against Microsoft and then came a change of administration and it punted on having the court impose an effective remedy. As a business major, I feel like no one else was paying attention in their classes when this stuff was being discussed. It's covered in the two basic economics classes and also in business economics, business management, business law, and in legal environment of business, and those are just the ones I remember.

title: lnxw48a1: -------------------- Hi there, Over the course of 2021, millions of Java Edition players switched over to Microsoft accounts. We’re happy that so many of you are already enjoying benefits like a single account for all Minecraft games, two-factor authentication and improved player safety. Starting on 10 March 2022, your Mojang account, which is used to play Minecraft: Java Edition, must be migrated to a Microsoft account to continue playing. Don't worry – everything about your game and how you play will remain the same, including your in-game username, progress, creations and skins. The only change is how you'll log in. Plus, we'll give you a special cape just for migrating! MIGRATE NOW: https://minecraft.net/move KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT SAFE Be sure to protect your account during migration. Never enter your account details on third-party websites. If you receive an email that asks for your account information, do not respond. Moving your account can only be done through the launcher or on your Minecraft.net account page and only takes a couple of minutes. Mojang will never ask for your account information in any other way. Beware of phishing attempts and keep your account safe! -------------------- I closed my (basically unused after one day) #Minecraft account a long time ago.

encoded: -------------------- Hi there, Over the course of 2021, millions of Java Edition players switched over to Microsoft accounts. We’re happy that so many of you are already enjoying benefits like a single account for all Minecraft games, two-factor authentication and improved player safety. Starting on 10 March 2022, your Mojang account, which is used to play Minecraft: Java Edition, must be migrated to a Microsoft account to continue playing. Don't worry – everything about your game and how you play will remain the same, including your in-game username, progress, creations and skins. The only change is how you'll log in. Plus, we'll give you a special cape just for migrating! MIGRATE NOW: https://minecraft.net/move KEEP YOUR ACCOUNT SAFE Be sure to protect your account during migration. Never enter your account details on third-party websites. If you receive an email that asks for your account information, do not respond. Moving your account can only be done through the launcher or on your Minecraft.net account page and only takes a couple of minutes. Mojang will never ask for your account information in any other way. Beware of phishing attempts and keep your account safe! -------------------- I closed my (basically unused after one day) #Minecraft account a long time ago. I'm not going to create a #Microsoft account in order to play a game that I don't play.

title: lnxw48a1: #Microsoft has this irritating 😠 pop-up in #Outlook to tell you how wonderful their new always-in-the-way search is. So far, it seems inadequate for a mid-sized inbox (mine is currently around 8,000 items, though it is time for another pruning), and probably gets worse for people with large inboxes (we have certain people who have over 100,000 items in their inbox). If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for. In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.

encoded: #Microsoft has this irritating 😠 pop-up in #Outlook to tell you how wonderful their new always-in-the-way search is. So far, it seems inadequate for a mid-sized inbox (mine is currently around 8,000 items, though it is time for another pruning), and probably gets worse for people with large inboxes (we have certain people who have over 100,000 items in their inbox). If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for. In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.
