Ah, French, that's easy
I get the missus to do the translation! Now Swahili and Mandarin pose a bit of a challenge...

Loose tongues and oily seamen: Lost in machine translation yet again
I don't have to save my work, it's in The Cloud. But Microsoft really must fix this files issue

Google Docs
Yes, the 1% in regards to who you should share a document with or not! I get dozens of invites to edit a document I have no business seeing, I mention it to the Google Admin, I still get dozens of invites to edit documents I have no business seeing... I've been to his training course, he covers it in detail ~ chalk it up to 1% !

keeping swappable spares in stock might make sense
Been down this road... and back up it a few times. No spare for the gear, it went down, howls all around. When we replaced it, bought the spare PS, sat on the shelf, 6 years later, replaced that item, power supply still sits on the shelf. These are the costs that drive my manager batty... That said, we've not has a PS die in many a year. Luck?

Stop using that MacBook Pro RIGHT NOW, says Uncle Sam: Loyalists suffer burns, smoke inhalation and worse – those crappy keyboards

People are people
My team manages upwards of 1000 Apples, iMacs, Macbook airs, both 13 and 11", and have been doing so for over 10 years. We manage repairs w\external company. I can say from experience it comes down to the user or misuser when it comes to physical damage, Apple is a superior hardware. We purposely stay away from the gimmicky looking releases, touch bar? NO thanks. Our repair partner notifies us if any of our fleet is in recall, and if repairs are under warranty. When it comes to buggy OS, I feel when it happens now, as the new OS is much more buckled down and work arounds are not always easy.

Bill G on Microsoft's biggest blunder... Was it Bing, Internet Explorer, Vista, the antitrust row?

"Smart phones and tablets - Too little, too late"
I think enough phone buyers that had a choice of platforms, purposely avoided windows on a mobile. People had had to deal with Windows at work, Windows at home, and picked something different.
"Gates said if Microsoft had got that right, it would be the leading company in the world, not just one of the leaders."
I think saying we could have been the one, had I thrown more cash at it, is wishful thinking on Mr. Gates part. I don't see how missing the boat with Windows would help with a mobile OS.

Re: I do hope Alexa remembers to dial '999'....
Here in NL the emergency number is 112 but 911 will work too. Looks like 112 is the European standard.
112 is a single emergency telephone number that allows European citizens and travelers within EU to contact emergency services for assistance in all Member States.

Hello, this is Microsoft, your PC has been infected
I received 4 of these calls in the space of a 10 days! I totally burned the first guy: "Hello this is (insert English name with bad non-western accent) from Microsoft" Me: Oh my god, I've been trying to call you guys for hours! Finally! My PC won't boot! Heeeeelp!

Re: A bridge under which to harvest scum, with a special fishing rod.
I was wondering along the same lines, sort of... But I see headlines about violent offenders(killers, rapists) getting far less time in the US. Seems there is a huge disparity in how sentences are calculated and assigned, I guess chalk this up to Judges being people, people with an agenda (their own or someone else's)?
Anyone else find it weird that the bloke tasked with probing tech giants for antitrust abuses used to, um, work for the same tech giants?
Gonna be so cool when we finally get into space, float among the stars, work out every day, inject testosterone...
