I've never touched Teams, and Exchange 2003 (circa 2005) was my last dealing with the devil! I guess, I won't miss out on anything...

Musk says spat with Apple over App Store ejection threat for Twitter was 'misunderstanding'
Thursday 1st December 2022 19:29 GMT 
Let's think about this...
So, Elon farts in Apple's general direction on his newly acquired internet megaphone. Gets some press, gets invited(?) to visit TC. Struts into the meeting like cock of the walk, later after the meeting, he laughs it off as a misunderstanding, something taken out of context, and now he's marching in line like a good little soldier.
What would motivate a man to change so suddenly? Especially someone as bold as Elon?

Re: And don't forget the problem with the freezing task bar in Windows 10
Because the users are like junkies in that they are hooked on the product.
I was sys admin, and I gotta say, users had little input into the OS they were running, we tried to use the best OS for the task at hand. I supported macOS(writing this from macOS!), and Windows, if macOS covered the bases, they got that. If they needed a windows only app, then we would provide Windows.
As the arm chair sys admin(the only IT guy in the family) I tried in all cases to get macOS in their hands. But most opted for windows because of cost of the hardware and games...
users really don't care. Fanbois care.

Musk: Twitter will have 1 billion monthly users inside 18 months

Real Twitter news...
Twitter chief executive Elon Musk confirmed plans for end-to-end encryption (E2EE) for direct messages on the platform.

Perhaps this coupled with bans being lifted has attracted new readers?

Cold and hot
Yeah, the server room is a strange place... cold in some places, like on the floor against the opposite wall the airco is mounted on. We used to put our lunch boxes there. One day a colleague brought in some goodies for a birthday party. They asked if they could put the bag in the server room. At this point in history, my office was adjacent to the server room, and had a door right from my office to the server room, which, back in the day was unlocked during the day. My colleague popped into the server room and deposited his bag of party snacks and was on his way. Later, I had to swap the backup tapes, and when I entered the server room, there was this odd smell of melted plastic. The shopping bag my colleague put in the server room, wasn't on floor where we all put our lunches, but behind a rack, so not to be seen by hungry eyes... It hadn't started burning or anything, but was a good approximation of shrink wrap on one side of the bag.
Needless to say, my boss at the time ruled out anyone other than server admins storing their lunch in the server room. I'm sure I should have had a good lecture from that, but I think if our colleague had asked my boss instead of me, my boss would have done the same thing, say yeah, and let our colleague proceed...

Twitter set for more layoffs as Musk mulls next move
Monday 21st November 2022 13:25 GMT 
the end game emerges...
Buy twitter, decimate the workforce, see a mass exodus of users and employees, lift some bans, decimate the workforce further, and hey look! We're in the run up to the 2024 US Elections! Twitter runs, but barely, as most staff have quit or been shown the door. Now anyone can attack or abuse or even take over Twitter. It will be a dumpster fire...

Re: Hide and seek at El Reg
Yes, this one was short and fast, but had oh so much potential... too bad they didn't take more than 3 minutes to work it up. If I find an extra 10 minutes today, I'll rewrite it myself and re-post it.
Yeah, there's something in the tea at Vulture Central. Can we still use that term? Vulture Central? Now kissing the ring on the hand that feeds IT? WTF!

Commercial repair shops caught snooping on customer data by canny Canadian research crew

No time, not enough mind bleach
When I did repairs, which was not often, I didn't have time to browse people's data, but I always copied files, ya know, incase I fscked up the whole thing, and needed to restore? Not sure if this was done by the techs in question, and if it was confused with nefariously riffling though files?
I've seen enough without snooping too, hence the mind bleach.
