Interesting Microsoft terminology change - what was "Copilot for" in May is now "Copilot in."

"Copilot for Outlook" makes it sound like the add-on it actually is. "Copilot in Outlook" makes it sounds like a native built feature which people can ask why they don't have enabled.

Work: We prohibit auto-forward email in Outlook.
Me: (creates simple "forward email" flow in Power Automate) Problem solved.
Work (many, many months later): We now prohibit auto-forward emails from Power Automate.
Me: (creates flow to send new email using same subject and body as original email) Problem solved.

@KelsonV Sadly, I don't think it will take 2 minutes for this current situation to revert itself.

I'm not going to say that this ruled a vendor out of consideration, but it was definitely a negative points situation for me.

@scalzi Got one for my wife using the $200 store credit from upgrading her to a Pixel Pro 7. Her feedback was the same - great interface and functionality, but lousy battery. Considering this is what it's like new, I can only imagine how bad the battery will be in a year's time. Guess I should start saving now for the Pixel Watch 3.

Ten years ago today, Google announced the sunset of Google Reader. Many lamented that RSS was dead. I'm still irked by this decision but moved to Feedly and continue using RSS daily. https://www.theverge.com/2013/3/13/4101144/google-shuts-down-reader-rss-aggregation-service
Google Reader to shut down July 1st

I'm quickly finding there is no enterprise capacity for supporting HEIC files in an enterprise environment short of paying a per user license of a buck to Microsoft. This is maddening.

Spend significant time this weekend doing a lot of password changes. Visited several hundred very disparate websites to do so. My advertising tracking cookies, as a result, are way confused on what's going on.
