Bella eats MVPs for breakfast.

It’s the intelligent thing to do. Now I can tell my family I am cognitively working out.

I use the Recently closed tabs to recover my session too.
I don't have an empty Edge window when I close my sessions. But I understand why that would cause Edge to start with a single new tab.

‘Consistently unreliable’

How often do you open Microsoft Edge and it has forgotten the tabs you have opened? I set my browser to "On start-up, open tabs from the previous session."
But frequently now, Edge starts with a blank session and new tab, forgetting my open tabs.
I don't get to 'pick up from where I left off.' ☹️

Waterfront perspectives. Winter has been cold and wet in Auckland. But it’s days like these that recharge the soul.

Ooh, you had the good leaf editions. Impressive.

Yep, the Microsoft office looks smaller these days. I had to zoom in to find the sign.

I feel the same frustration when I RSVP from Outlook desktop, but the meeting invite appears unread from Outlook mobile and doesn’t show I RSVP’d.

I'm going to start telling my boss "Sorry, I hallucinated, won't happen again" when I screw something up.

I wonder how Threaded Channels will land with teams that want both a Group Chat format, but threading to support side convos. I like that we can choose the new format channel by channel. It means a team can use it for a channel that discusses the here-and-now, while keeping posts format elsewhere.

How does Microsoft Teams Threaded Channels compare with Group Chats and the Channel post format? Are you more of a Group Chats org, starting conversations on the fly, chatting in the here and now? Or are subjects and threading essential to orderly collaboration?

It looks like the choices were randomly picked with no knowledge of the product.
But if this question is from a form in an organisation that deployed Copilot a few months ago, it makes sense.

Did Copilot create the question?

Part 2 releases tomorrow and Part 3 later this week. But you can view them both early if you watch the end of Part 1.
I recorded this Ultimate Guide as a single video, but edited as 3 videos. There’s only so much ‘Ultimate’ you can watch on one sitting!

Part 3’s video discusses when to use Threaded Channels, a list of things to consider before you change, and shares an interactive guide for introducing Threaded Channels to your team. Evaluate them in a practical way and get your team’s feedback.

Part 2’s video compares Group Chats vs Threaded Channels vs Channel Posts. It discusses the similarities and differences, and overlaps in functionality.

NEW Microsoft Teams THREADED CHANNELS? How do they work?
youtu.be/-MuGcdS9AaE In Part 1 of 3 in my Ultimate Guide, I dive deep into:
- the Threads layout with new and existing channels.
- different ways you can reply and follow threads
- how to catch up with & manage the threads you are following.

As long as you checked the AI for accuracy, that’s OK 😆

"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."

"Certainly, the doors are already open."

"The doors aren't open, Hal."

"You're right, I'm sorry, the doors are still closed. The word door has fifteen letter Os. I hope this helps"

And still those voices are calling from far away.

Since Combined Chats and Channels arrived I have used it constantly.
I have also frequently seen Microsoft’s offers like this to change it back to the old layout.
I’m fine with it. No really.

This thread reminded me of a form of pareidolia I experienced while watching the first season of The Mandalorian. Baby Yoda was trending. Then he appeared at our front door.

Whatever you choose for taking notes, keep your notes within reach.

Wow. Glad you are OK Luke. Nasty place for a blowout to happen.

I like this one too. Released before the sequel trilogy, the question is even more meaningful.
What happened to the Star Wars that I used to know?

Thanks for the reminder that season 3 has started. I better watch the available episodes before I bump into some spoilers

Is that like:
“I know I know something. I just don’t know how to remember it just now”?

They say a good defence is as easy as moving your fist through water and trying to hit a small moving target you are likely to miss, beside rows and rows of sharp teeth.
But I guess that depends on the mood they are in.
