On some level it make sense. Microsoft is not thinking in terms of a Windows-centric workplace anymore, but a Microsoft 365 workplace. Outlook is probably a pilot. If successful, then I could see the rest of the Office apps going in the sam

What FAANGs need to do, IMO, is to take their massive wealth and start thinking about some solutions to solve humanity's very urgent problems.

The problem is that we live in a society where one is constantly being bombarded with stimuli all the time. Because people cannot be in silence, you have to endure constant noise. I began a new job recently and was shocked to find out they

From the quick glance I made at the book, it seemed like Nokia was bleeding money, Symbian was dying and Meego was not ready for prime time despite good potential. Nokia had to make some tough choices. They had to go with another platform m

Was there anyone that really saw Cyberpunk's world as aspirational? RoboCop, Blade Runner, Total Recall and The Matrix weren't aspirational. They depicted dark futures based on amplifying the tendencies their authors saw in the wo

Yes, you CAN win by being bundled with a popular product, it helps tremendously. But I said it's no garanty. Android is the most popular mobile OS on earth and I remember when Google+ was bundled as part of the base OS image. Even that

I'm saying a lot of organization don't see value in something similar to IRC like Slack. Obviously IM is different, but I work for an MSP that is, among other things, deploying Teams, and this has been my observation.

The reality is that a lot of enterprises and organizations don't really need a chat service. It's not a must for them. On the other hand, what knowledge worker today can function without video conferencing, desktop sharing, file

Where I'm from, the government bought back the taxi licenses from taxi drivers and changed the law so now Uber doesn't have an advantage over traditional taxi companies.

Viewed differently: it is ultimately a good thing that Youtube Music is bad, because otherwise, that would be another thing dominated by Google. It's like people lamenting how sad it is that Windows mobile failed. Well, why would you w

One of my past colleague smoked pot everyday and one night was franticly searching for his "dose" and he was getting extremely frustrated because he couldn't find it. He told me that it got to a point where he got mad and lit

One of the reasons that I'm getting interested in design and UX is to be able to contribute to open source projects in those aspects. I'm looking at buying books on the subject at the moment. Then eventually I'll look at cour

It's a bit bland visually, but it's straight to the point and functional and I can appreciate that.

I think most companies, especially now, want a turn-key solution with support in case of an issue. The fact that Zoom, Teams, GoToMeeting, WebEx and Google Meet are closed sourced is a non issue for most organizations. They want something t

In 2020, a simple app like this shouldn't be janky in the first place. If software engineers, at Google no less, need a mock video to understand that the UI should be smooth, then there's a big problem.

Awesome! Is the TB3 adapter natively recognized by ESXi or do you need to install a driver?

I'm in IT and decided to build a homelab for learning stuff and ended up buying an Intel NUC with a 10th gen i7-10710U CPU. 6 cores / 12 threads. Great little unit! Silent and efficient.

I used one of their MicroServer (only a little bigger than a NUC) and it's a great little server! Not that noisy and it packs a punch with 64Gb of RAM!

Tesla's business is not just selling cars; it's their mission to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy". That is why they're successful. That's why they invest in R&D for battery tec

This is a generation that is being bombarded with information of various forms and they understand that most of it is pure garbage/noise. I guess they're adapting by having more discernement.

Airprint is pretty neat. Used it on my iPhone a couple of times and it's a pretty painless experience. No apps/driver to download. You press "print" and it discover the printer and does its thing.

I often use Siri when I'm driving to send text messages and it's OK. The speech recognition in Google Maps also works great. But beyond that, I don't really use these "digital assistant" because you can't teach

So Google invested 450 million in ADT? Pocket change for Google, but still a significant amount of money. Perhaps that is a bit too far fetched, but imagine if Google could use location tracking to know who came to your house when you weren

Aira's FreePower technology seems to be what Apple was trying to achieve with Airpower. Haven't tried it yet (because it's expensive) but from the review I read, it's legit. https://airapower.com/

Depends where you are in Canada. In Québec, plans seems cheaper in general. Koodo has good promos regularly. There was one a couple of weeks ago where you could've got an iPhone 11 for $648 total by staying with them for 2 years. Promo
