I’ve just used this to take a ton of source code, maths and thesis to create an idiots guide to halo and canalisation in a retail environment.

SharePoint Alerts are being retired. This means as an org we need to drastically improve our communication of policy changes such that a supporting news article is posted and included within the RAFAC News Digest.
A prime example of this is that ACP 26 was amended last week, I only know as someone raised a question about the change 
You’ll have seen a number of changes recently with SharePoint to utilise the news roundup features, further work is underway for this and Key Documents is also under review to explore how best to bring updates to peoples attention where IBNs etc are not required.

We’ve defiantly advanced significantly over the past 2 years, but the loss of alerts are significant I think.
SharePoint News is great, but there doesn’t appear to be a subscribe method, I really want these comms direct to my inbox, I know the Digest picks up some (but not all)
I’ve been trying to get over this at work too. Microsoft seem to want you to replace it with a customised Power Automate flow. Except it can’t do what I need it to, which is replicate the daily email I get for when changes are made to my sharepoint library.

I’ve never liked the idea of having all internal vehicle controls on a screen.
Give me buttons and dials, where I can glance if I have to, reach close enough, then feel my way to what I want.
Also, for some reason, car manufacturers seem allergic to hiring quality UI designers and I have struggled on occasion to work out how to use the damn heat and fan controls.

We had a new Skoda Ocatvia estate last week on hire. I felt it was the right balance between buttons and touch screen. I personally like a massive display. Makes viewing sat nav information much quicker at a glance.
But it had a row of buttons for regularly use stuff. And the steering wheel was all physical buttons.
Couldnt agree more. I love the smart developments and things like car play, but you’ve got to have dedicated controls.
Sometimes if I need to suddenly de-mist the windshield, I need to find a non-button to switch a display from media to climate, then find the right non-buttons to do the bits I need.
I need to look at all of that.
Agree, Skoda have the right balance of things compared to some of the other VAG stable which have gone too far in to the non-button era and suffered because of it.

seconded.
My car has a “lane assist” function which is fine on dual carriageways/motorways but too intrusive on single carriageways A-B and C roads so i press the physical button on the dash, to the right of the steering wheel
when i last had my car in for service (at the dealer), the courtesy car given to me wasn’t my model, but obviously the same brand - but the newer look.
the same button was behind four levels of menu selection on the central panel touch screen. as a button i use daily (my commute to/from work is on a main B road between two towns) it put me off completely.
edit to add: VW have started returning to physical buttons
although this is likely in reaction to this
(TL:DR - drivers have “brushed” the touch button while parking their car resulting in the car suddenly accelerating crashing into cars)

My Toyota has a button for lane assist on the steering wheel, presumably because people like to toggle it on and off a lot.
TBH, they’ve done pretty well - most useful things are physical buttons, and generally in sensible places.
Only one that’s slightly annoying is the parking camera button, but you’re usually stopped if you’re looking for that (and it is still a physical button).

So my new flat has a lot of dust, because of the building works. I bit the bullet and bought a robot vacuum to help. And I’m lazy and like tech so 
It has been very entertaining to watch work. First scanning the whole place roughly, then doing a clean and systematically going around everywhere!
Thought the other nerds like me would appreciate this map:
I have all solid flooring other than the rug in the living room, so this thing has done a great job mopping! Now have it set to do a quick clean every day whilst I’m at work

I like the curious voids which RoboHenry has found… maybe conduct a quick sweep and wall tap - just incase!

Thankfully that’s just furniture blocking areas instead of walls! It’s why my bedroom looks so bizarre as the bed is solid underneath with storage.
Where as the spare, the robot can go underneath so it looks normal.

Nah. It’s lovely.
Just accept that there is one true way to format everything, then you’ll enjoy it.
Mrs Otto loves ours, tells everyone how good it is and convinced sister daughter and friend to buy one. First time around shocked her what it pulled from under the beds, but now its all under control. She still sets if off twice a day and either watches the app or watches it navigate the house, it always seems to be in my way when I’m doing something in one spot. We aren’t lazy, just not at home much.
