It’s tough, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make.

Also a reason I spend as little time as possible these days there and disabled notifications.

Via the web you can export photos from
iCloud, but it’s clunky and not designed for massive exports in one go. I ended up doing OneDrive sync for photos on all iPhones. While not in one location, at least they are backed up.

Regular measuring helps. Would recommend scales.

Lars is one of the kindest and most welcoming people in the tech community I’ve ever known. Making this would have been incredibly difficult, so make sure you watch what you can (it’s hard) and consider supporting him, his family and community in their time of need.

If you have passkey enabled it won’t work. I ran into this issue as I couldn’t even sign into my Xbox.

There’s an internal tool I’ve been using for Kusto queries… it’s been pretty good.

Windows 11 now supports some 3rd party Passkey apps natively.

In Settings navigate to Accounts, select Passkeys then click Advanced Options

Why do people love spicy food – even when it hurts to eat it? Tearing up, sweating and other bodily functions are all signs that the body is trying to expel spicy foods as quickly as possible. But there is a simple reason why some people enjoy those sensations

Make sure to check out our keynote at KubeCon North America on exactly this, and keep an eye out for how you can deploy this solution in your environments.

Interesting! I find the new calendar an improvement. The new scheduling feature saves me a bunch of time. It took a bit of breaking muscle memory and moving tasks to Microsoft To Do. I think in next 2 years it will be the default Outlook (I don’t have any insights.. just that I can’t see 2 Outlooks)

What’s hideous about it? I’ve been using it as my Outlook client for 2+ years. A lot cleaner than the older Outlook and also means you can switch to web at any time…

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
