Somebody please tell Microsoft that nobody uses Teams for fun. All we want to do is set our status to 'busy', join calls when we have to and stay on them for as short a time as is humanly possible.
Microsoft Teams is getting a Facebook-like feed and follow button. Microsoft has started testing this internally, and it lets you share announcements with colleagues. I dig into Microsoft Teams' Storyline feature in Notepad today, live for subscribers 👇 www.theverge.com/notepad-micr...

Some lovely has uploaded the Making of The Thing onto YouTube.
Over 20 years later that original DVD release remains one of the finest home entertainment releases ever.
Lovely quality, great documentary, amazingly fun commentary. And of course, the greatest film ever made.
