Yesterday, I received a US patent award from Microsoft. I applied for a patent few years ago and it was granted by the US Patent office, and this plaque was sent by MS to commemorate the accomplishment. Never thought I'd be a patent inventor. Super cool 🙂 #microsoftlife

Have you tried installing it via the website? I believe it bypasses company policies. Like, click this download button directly from the website.

Only if you want to try, tho! I'm not pressuring you to install the app haha

Windows Central wrote a little article about it!

Lawsuit: ChatGPT told student he was "meant for greatness"—then came psychosis AI Injury Attorneys" target the chatbot design itself.

Even worse, there are now 11 known lawsuits against openai where victims were led to psychosis by their chat bot. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

There's a pattern here that RCMP needs to investigate

‘AI injury attorneys’ sue ChatGPT in another AI psychosis case ChatGPT convinced a suffering student that he was an oracle, according to the lawsuit.

Except there are 11 lawsuits out for openai where chatgpt led someone to a mental health break or a psychosis event mashable.com/article/ai-i....

There is a pattern here that needs to be investigated by the RCMP.

News of Sarah Bond and Phil Spencer leaving Xbox was shocking. A non-gamer as the new leader is suprising. But most confusing is their previous role was in CoreAI, which is the developer division of MS that runs Visual Studio, GitHub, etc.

I don't see the overlap 🤔 Why not promote from within Xbox?

Heartbreaking gold medal game loss. Still, you played your hearts out. Great job Team Canada. #olympics #canada

Hopefully!

Ambie's revenue this past January absolutely popped. Big thanks to the growing number of Ambie fans and supporters! Can I retire from my day job yet?! #BuildInPublic #windowsapps #indiedev #dotnet

Allegiance | Shows | CBC Gem A star rookie police officer must grapple with the limits of the justice system as she fights to exonerate her politician father and serve her diverse hometown of Surrey.

Lowkey becoming one of the best police shows I've watched aside from SVU, and it's set in Surrey of all places.

Hearing "All units to Whalley!" is surreal since my first home in Canada was in Whalley. Great cop show regardless of the location though! gem.cbc.ca/allegiance #tvshows #cbc #vancouver

Added new canvas options to Markerpad (dots and lines), and added new zoom functionality. Both have been strong feedback from the community so thanks to everyone that has given Markerpad a try and shared feedback!

I love my MacBook but in the end, windows does indeed have better usability and productivity for me

Yep! I’ve been enjoying it here much more. I have better control of my feed.

Vancouver ranked Canada’s most restaurant-diverse city in new survey Foodies say city has array of options because its residents will try anything

Having just moved back home here, I’ve been absolutely floored at the restaurant scene. It was already good before I moved to the U.S. And it has exponentially gotten better since. Absolutely recommend everyone to visit #Vancouver for the food. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/04e7085...

Agreed. We need to change that now.

Beautiful view from Microsoft Vancouver! #MicrosoftLife #Vancouver

View from my desk 🤩

It's still undocumented but I open-sourced Ambie's logic for managing in-app purchases 👉🏽 github.com/jenius-apps/...

It's useful:
- Handles both subs and lifetime
- Handles sales
- Handles increasing sub price over time (something that MS Store does not normally allow)

New version of Ambie coming on Monday, with a very important change 😂

I just moved back to Vancouver and joined Wealthsimple for my FHSA. Once I max that and my tsfa, I think rrsp will be next. I do think their features are quite compelling

The fog across the lower mainland yesterday and today has been picturesque.
