solved our lack of space problem

Before covid our organization had a major lack of space problem, if you werent using a space you'd lose it. Millions were spent on refurbishment, reorganising and letting additional office space. But now we've got hotdesking and WFH the place is half empty. They're still trying to drag us back into the office.

But

But you can already automate updates.. how is this different?

How many of their users are bots?

Why dont the news sites just stop posting their articles on Facebook? You cant setup an account, post a load of content then complain you arent being paid for it.

How do they know?

How do they know that the accounts were compromised by people using the same passwords?

blocker

Is there a blocker for these cookie boxes that seem to appear repeatedly on every damn website?

what is the solution?

What is the solution? Social media seems to be increasingly lawless, with none of them accepting responsibility for their content.

Stability

Dont they realise that some people like stability and dont want updates and features(like bugs) continuously added?

London

Romford is in London, not Essex.

Forced updates

Any chance they will turn off the forced updates? Its quite annoying to get asked by users to update their Skype every week. The thing wont run if you're not on the latest version.

Update prompts

Yeah but when are they going to stop giving standard users admin prompts to update the thing? You'd think they'd know how their own os works.

"security only quality update" - that does not make sense to me. If its 'security only' then why add the word 'quality'? Just call it a security update.

Countdown

Does this include stuff like the bus countdown displays?

Can I have a patch for

when installing updates, our computers take half an hour to restart!

Good grief, cant we just get on with our lives without them being affected by these gamblers?

MS manage it

I dont understand why Google cant send out updates themselves? MS manage to patch Windows on an even more diverse range of hardware.

Whats the problem?

I dont see why Google cant just send out updates directly to Android devices? Microsoft dont have to send their updates via hardware manufacturers.

Monopoly

In the name of competition, why arent they forced to open up their network to other 'providers'? Is that not what happened to BT?

auto update?

"Users running Chrome and Internet Explorer will automatically download the update through their browsers, while other users can obtain the fix through Adobe's Download Center."

Does their auto updater (accessed through the control panel) not work then?

I wouldnt notice

Awful problems on O2 where I live for months and they just arent interested in fixing it. Signal is up and down and barely existent indoors, calls drop regularly.

re: 6310i

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands.

I dont see what the fuss is about

Its just an instant messenger and not even a free one! People like sheep have gone with bbm just because their friends are on it, without realising that there are multi platform equivalents available. But with all your pals chatting away, who is going to go out in the cold and leave first for an android or iphone?

typical hipsters

Something becomes popular, so they don't like it anymore.

privacy settings

I dont use facebook but you would think that the default setting for this 'checking in' rubbish would be to display to friends only, just what is the point in making that information public? If the default is to friends only and they've changed it to public then i think those users are very naive.

when

Does anyone know when exactly they are upping the power?

someone please explain how bbs work

so bbm, email and internet is routed through bb. but internet isn't if you are on wifi? (web working on my bb at home) bb provide internet and not phone service provider even though u pay your money to your provider and not bb?

cheap? free?

Is it? From what i can gather you need to be signed up to Blackberry Internet Services for it to work, which costs money monthly, although it seems to be included within most data plans. Thats how i understand it anyway
