Microsoft delays next Exchange Server release to 2025

Trollface

Re: Oh Really?

Exchange will be split:

Exchange - the main exchange: The webinterface and ActiveSync. No new HW required, as the CPU features required do not change. You still can upgrade the HW, if you don't have 512GB RAM for IIS, tho.

Exchange Companion Apps: Hub/Transport, Mailbox, stuff like that. Needs a new license and definitely needs new hardware.

After historic win, Amazon workers at another NYC warehouse reject unionization

I assume Amazon is so sure about the union blackmailing people, because that is exactly what they (would) do, so the others have to do it, too.

To our total surprise, Apple makes adding alternative payment systems to apps 'painful, expensive, clunky'

Re: Surprised Here!

The US will do nothing. They export 202bn€ and import 352bn€ i goods from the EU (2020)

Stopping that is more like suicide than anything else.

Total US investment in the EU is three times higher than in all of Asia.

EU investment in the US is around eight times the amount of EU investment in India and China together.

just nope. The same as the US did not interfere with Facebook/Google vs EU when the privacy shield was unilaterally declared broken...

Remember: Whatsapp is having a EU edition of their data privacy rules (well, not the UK nowadays, tho ;) )

styx-tdo

nah. what about...

Allow all AppStore sales and force Apple to pay out 130% to the developers instead of 70% as before for all AppStore transactions and just 100% for all other payment processors until Apple complies.

Also, developer prices cannot be modified. Any surcharges by Apple will result in some proper fines, like the GDPR stuff (x percent of global revenue.....)

Re: A is for a certain online bank

actually, subadressing helps.

myname+sitename@mydomain.com

With Sieve, you can file them in individual folders; if you start with that, you can just filter myname@mydomain.com to your spam filter directly, as there cannot be any mail legally sent there.

also works for quickes like being asked for an address - myname+whoeverannoysme@...

very nice thing. And there are ppl who say technology doesn't solve issues... :)

we wouldn't have without technology.. well

FYI: If the latest Windows 11 really wants to use Edge, it will use Edge no matter what

also, HX protocol (superceding ActiveSync) will apparently never come to an Exchange server near you...

Linux kernel hardeners Grsecurity sue open source's Bruce Perens

styx-tdo

"If Perens wins, then effectively anyone doing their own kernel hacks is in breach of GPL2 if they don't publish their hack freely. That would, ironically, include the entire kernel community for the time between when they save a source code file they've altered and when they push it back up to some public GIT repo. That would be absurd."

? i am confused. Where is any clause that requires you to publish anything, even less for all to access? GPL does not, to my knowledge, limit _any_ modifications you do in your back chamber. And it requires you to re-license under GPL and add source code to binaries _that you distribute_ - so if you modify source code without compiling it, you can do with it whatever you want - keep it, share it with some people, share it with the world,.. - it just needs to contain source code and must be gplv2 licensed. There is no clause in the GPL to force you to make your code publically available, but if you do, it has to be GPL'd code w/ source.. and that includes the right to re-distribute without any limitations

British Gas wins pre-paid smart meter patent lawsuit

styx-tdo

.. use the customer ID to identify a smart meter is rubbish - way too much space for clerical errors.. swapping meters or having issues when someone moves.. that is stupid.

serial number is (provided it is unique, like a mac - yes, i look at you, 3com) the natural choice.. how was that patent ever granted?!

facebook and social media tends to reinfoce your views, based on your friends having similar opinions and sharing others with similar opinions. I think it's called group dynamics ;)

Re: Did UK make ever something positive to make EU stronger?

@dan

1) less refugees does surely not have anything to do with geography and the UK not telling people to come over, like germany and sweden.. no - it was schengen.. sure.

2) It is a bit naive to think that thes southern countries would have been better off without the EU. Spain and the other one.. Ireland? managed to get out of their debts and were actually quite vocal against a haircut for greece.. greece is another topic, that went a bit south.

Mail Migration

Hi,

there is actually a FCAS exporter for Firstclass that exports to mbox format (that is easily read by about.. anything).

i couldn't use it b/c it killed all umlauts... but if you have FCAS, then that'd be the way to go..

bonus: We have something like "minimum unit" for data - like e.g. phone calls being charged per minute only or 60/30..

These go from 0 up to 1MB. That is something no tool really can measure (or is supporting, at least)....
