I noticed it too, but for Teams. Is it because they are both MS apps?

I was referring to some factual errors and omissions that make other historians angry. But the narrative is captivating.

Based on demographic reports, permanent underclass will soon be getting smaller each year. In fact in 4-5 generations the problem will solve itself completely.

I recommend a book 'Silk Roads' by Peter Frankopan. It’s an attempt to show world’s history as a continuous movement of center of civilizational gravity. It’s not without flaws, bu…

I recently moved one of my boxes from Mailfence to Infomaniak. It works, but their product/pricing strategy is really hard to understand (my ksuite vs ksuite pro). Their AI is not …

I also switched to cheapest Mac Mini M4 Pro this year (after 20+ years of using Intel CPUs). MacOS has its quirks, but it provides ZSH and it "just works" (unlike manjaro I used in…

How do we make it more competitive? Work 996 like the Chinese? Have no maternity leave like Americans? It would certainly make us more competitive...

Europe's problem in this area seems to be inability to build a mechanism to realize large, unprofitable projects. It looks like the whole continent operates on thin margins, and ha…

CBOR started as a complimentary project to previous-decade IoT (Internet of Things) and WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) initiaties. It was designed together with 6LoWPAN, CoAP, RPL …

I also had an opportunity to design control systems using their products in Poland. The sensors were very accurate, and competitively priced (although maybe a bit fragile, compared…

Few years ago I worked on an biomass tarehouse project for one of Poland's power plants. One of supported kinds of biomass was palm kernel shells. Palms do not grow neither in Pola…
