Possibly, I've found the same and have tried to add photos of areas I know decent photos of areas are missing.
I've corrected my sisters road where she lives as it didn't exist, that was accepted fairly quickly (Although the road has a street name plate which was visible on Google Maps). I do get annoyed with the your amendment is helping, especially if I suggested it be changed over 10 years ago (Or whenever they introduced it).
Probably, about 8 years ago the automated gate I was using at Luton airport had the taskbar present, I can't remember if it was an issue with the Windows License, it was something license related but was Windows 7.
Then again might be different as my Passport always worked at Luton, never at London City or Stansted.
I understand if its actually heavy, but these aren't, they are bog standard HP Pro/EliteBooks often have the exact same hardware as their larger counterparts and its the extra plastic and lcd panel adding the weight.
If its a Toughbook vs a standard machine then yes they will be massive weight differences.
We may never know, training some users can be impossible (Especially for users like me who go, ah ok thats easy enough and then I immediatly forget what I have just been told).
From experience every ERP project I have heard of where I work wants to use standard functionality, but that always ends up with bits being adapted.
I thought they all had the same keyboards, seems odd to make another one with less keys when they can buy it off the shelf.
That sucks although HP laptops under 14" tend to be annoying using fn keys for lots of functions, but there is normally a delete key top right of the keyboard.
AZERTY have come across lots of times, but the worst was an ergonomic keyboard during my work experience.
It was impossible, I could touchtype then but had to resort to proding as it was not in a layout I had seen before or come across since (Didn't even feel that ergonomic and this was after Microsoft had released their own ergonomic keyboard)
When i started running Windows 2000 I had 333mhz let alone a 64 bit instruction set, but comparing Windows ME to Windows 2000, I seem to remember 2k was slightly slower but rock solid stability wise apart from some early DirectX games which would just exitr for no reason. But I was into Counter Strike 1.1 by then.
Using DMARC should render this impossible, however Microsoft they don't respect "p=reject" and instead of rejecting like we want they quaratine the bloody emails.
Microsoft, if I want you to quarantine I will use "p=quarantine". I don't care if emails are rejected because it relies on us know who uses our domains. Any problems we can simply change p to quarantine
I used to know most key combinations, but my memory has failed me.
I must admit I had no idea middle clicking a link opens it ont he background, I always held Ctrl so I'll 100% be using this (Since Windows 10 likes to assume I am not clicking Ctrl on occassion, especially when copying and pasting)
When I started working at my first IT job, we used dial up to dial in and access systems remote. 56k was painful, expensive, more people used landlines to speak to people and fax, in my view this wouldn't have worked for many applications or services.
Also why do you have a thing about baby goats (I can't stand people calling children "kids" so trololol)?
You assign a utility account which will the meeting room, sign in on the device and thats how that device know what room it is.
Ones I have seen are glorified tablets, but some small Intel Nucs also available.
Users put the room in the invite and when you go to the room at that time you should have the option to start the meeting.
I doubt it, it does the job and thats the best thing I can say for MS Teams as a whole (whilst being bloated requiring to many resources and including lots of un-needed crap), we have had BlueJeans equipment before and MS Teams for rooms does the job better (Its by no means perfect and both have licensing and support costs).
Then again any meeting room vendor will show off their best side, including Cisco, etc..
I once lost the phone in the back of a cab in Rotterdam (Since all the taxis were Mercs with comfy seats and my personal phone fell out).
Thankfully had work mobile and although couldn't get hold of the company it was sent back to me with a video from the cabbie who returned it (Thank you again for the very odd video!).
Not everyone, I found my mum was turning off things like the kettle which used zero power, then was complaining of being able to use hair straighteners.
Asked why, she was thinking having a cuppa or using hair straighteners would cost over £1 every time or something silly.
I ended up getting her a plugin power thing and showed it cost pennies to boil the kettle. Things like the fridge cost the most but thats essential to keep on, things like turning off her old midi hifi system, yes that was fine.
Afterwards I could tell she felt silly, found out she read about it on social media (Friend shared something which paniced her circle of friends so they all believed it, thankfully noone had brought a plugin power saver as FaceBook seems to have adverts for them) and saw some videos which backed it up.
Wait what, I admit I am from the version 6-9 era but everything could be access in the web client that was in the admin client.
When did that change or have they just made it clearer as I must admit until I got training I didn't know myself.
You just need to know which .nsf file was needed to launch or what .ini file to amend
