Today is OneDrive's turn to get a new icon. It's not bad, slighly lickable. Sumptuous, even. I just wish they'd fix the numerous underlying issues with the actual sync service. You've got one job. And why are you 1.2gb??

Okay the new Outlook/Mac icon is kind of pretty; at least it looks like an envelope.

If I had $1 for every time I blew my nose today I'd … well … I'd be able to afford way more tissues.

Choose Copilot.
Choose auto-complete you never asked for.
Choose Copilot buttons crammed into every ribbon.
Choose being kicked from app to chat and back again.
Choose four Copilots with the same name and none that fit the task.

@danielbowen.au One of the photos from your "10 years ago" post this morning told me more about the tram works on Elizabeth/Victoria than anywhere I could find on YT's website. I know about the closures etc, but do you know where can I find information on what they're actually building?

Ah yes, the famous Frexcel, eWord, and Owerpoint.
Microsoft’s new Office icons are now available in TestFlight versions of Excel, Word, and PowerPoint on iOS

This meeting should have been an email.
This Powerpoint should have been a Word doc.

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

I have a new game: The AI index.

How long does it take for AI to be mentioned in a non-tech conference?

TIL there's an account that posts screens from Homestar Runner every 30 minutes.
