Microsoft had Copilot as an optional paid add-on for the enterprise agreement. We saw no real world benefit from it at this point to justify the extra expense of the add-on. Multiyear agreement is coming up for renewal soon. It will no longer be a paid add-on and a certain amount of Copilot + licenses will be rolled into the overall agreement cost. The real poison is that Microsoft is requiring an ever increasing year after year number of Copilot+ licenses to renew the Office agreement. Fry: I can't swallow that. Professor Farnsworth: Well, good news! It's a suppository.

Rusty Shackleford? Is that you?

Well I guess this helps explain why both the latest “Display Audio Software Update” (ie the Carplay upgrade) AND the previous versions have all been yanked off their site since April. Been a pain in the butt not being able to access it after picking up a vehicle that while eligible for the Carplay upgrade it had never been installed on top of the vanilla Hyundai infotainment package. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fupdate.hyundai.com%2FUS%2F...

The road to hell is paved with "safety" because it sells.

We have bike lanes. Cyclists do not use the bike lanes. They ride in the car lane. They ride on the bike lane stripe to prevent a car from passing without crossing into the "mandatory 3 ft distance" between car and cyclist. Even with an expensive and long multidirection bike lane setup for their use many still insist on riding in the street. My questions is can cyclists be fined or otherwise punished for NOT riding in a bike lane when one is provided?

Seriously. Are they required to take personal leave when they "walk out"? If so do they request it ahead of time or submit a request afterwards? And is a company required to approve a leave request when an employee is blatantly working against the company while on the leave? Do they just get up from their desk and walk out? Are they on company property or further away on public property? To get around this I guess they could do it on their own time or break, but then it does not sound as much like a"walk out".

Hmmmmm, but is it fully Handbrake compatible?

So they get a slap on the wrist. Especially since they are only agreeing to SOFTWARE audits with no mention of a hardware audit.

I wonder if the person they give rights to "delegate" their account must actually be a Facebook user themselves. If so, it seems they have stumbled unto a way to slightly prevent user decline (in a sicko sort of way).

I see no mention of whether the person has or does not have a landline or VOIP phone, but here is a possible solution: http://www.vtechphones.com/pro... It is a phone that can be programmed to have hotbuttons. Some of the buttons can even have pictures inserted behind the button so an ailing parent or small child can simply push a button and the phone then dials the corresponding number. That number can be 911, a parent, etc... It also has a panic button dongle that can be worn and used in case of emergency. Good luck. That is a tough situation.

I think the whole driving while "distracted" issue boils down to the type of distraction. My two cents... ACTIVE A phone call is an active engagement. You talk. The other person then talks. You are expecting feedback, so part of your brain is tuning in to receive that potential incoming response, therefore causing some people to not focus on other activities (such as driving). Another example would be texting. You get a text. You actively look at it, then respond back. PASSIVE A horrible song comes on the radio. You slightly lean forward and turn a physical knob or physical button to change the channel. You are not expecting further input form the radio. You just want it off of what is on there now. Another example would be turning the heater on/off. You just lean over, grab a dial, and turn it down. You are not expecting feedback from the heater other than for it to get hotter/colder. No unexpected feedback. Another example would be eating a hamburger. You have the hamburger in one hand and driving with the other. No need to look down at the hamburger or listen to the hamburger, it just is passively being eaten. Talking to another person IN THE SAME CAR could also be seen as passive. You are not trying to dial someone. You are not trying to hit a button to respond. You are just opening your mouth and talking. Those same systems that allow you to talk are not tied up with hand-eye coordination of driving. To counter that, if you have two kids in the back seat and they are fighting causing you to look up into the mirror while you talk, then that would switch to active and not passive.

Even with this breach, I still think their mandatory MOBILE phone number requirement to get a Yahoo account is BS. Just one more data point floating in the revenue stream...

How in the hell are they going to handle large scale enterprise or educational software deployments? Hand out an org's login and password? Set a licensing server? FU Adobe. FU good.
