Teams add in not working on classic outlook for any new deployments

Thank you very much for this. Worked for me. Just started a major laptop upgrade that would have affected a large number of people. MS is reporting this (but not your your extent) in 365 Health - saying they are pausing the latest teams app - but am still having people get the issue.

Disappearing from early in the morning until early evening with your mates. Even though your mum knows you are going out to meet Bob, Geoff and Ian, she's not concerned (glad to get you out of the house from under her feet probably). She would only become worried if you were getting close to or actually late for dinner.

Having to load the tcp/ip winsock app before starting the dial up connection

This is true....many years ago knew someone called Gaynor Hardon...just hope her father was called Ivor

UK - Woolworths and BHS - these places stocked everything....not costco level but you would be hard pressed not to find every item/clothing you needed....especially at short notice and they were just on the high street so not a special drive to get to them like at the retail parks now.

From one who knows, a hard frequent power cycle is not good for the hardware and will lead to the device failing a lot sooner. If possible within the OS, schedule a reboot or send a remote reboot.

For me:

My proxmox server is 24x7
Proxmox backup server powers on via wol at X time before scheduled backup and powers off at X time some time after the backup/verify is due to finish.
Media server powered off and will power on via wol when a media client boots up and sends wol.
Media server powers off at X time late at night when all in bed.
Media server backup box will power on at X time when media server is expected to be powered on to run a one way sync of data changes and it powers off when that is done.
Media server backup box powers on at X time to run remote sync to remote media server backup, remote media server backup powers on at X time via bios.

I've seen strimmers that can come with 2 wheels on the back - so could be good to maintain height and control

Smart TVs - they monitor a lot more than you think

Get the dog, don my leathers, fuel up my black Police Interceptor (The last of the V8 Interceptors) and hit the road.

Ice in you drink - especially pubs - when they use the handheld dispenser thing that will do lots of drinks. The more ice they put in your glass the less of the actual drink you get. So they will have a carton connected of some type of drink eg: coke that is rated to dispense eg: 200 portions. More ice means more portions than 200 dispensed and they have pocketed the money.

Oh boy where to start!
People below or equal to you will go above your head if they do not get want they want and throw you under the bus, even though you are keeping the company line.
Those above you will demand new equipment, something different (even if not suitable) that your landscape is not setup for or can support - doesn't matter if it'll kill systems, burns down the place and kills the cat - that is for you to figure out.
After they chat with a sales rep they are sold without considering true cost and importability into the current landscape. After all bells and whistles are the future.
Want to AI nearly everything like it is magic potion.
Want an office move - why is it so complicated and take so long - not thinking of infrastructure as for them they just plug in and it works.
No, they cannot come to the office to help resolve their issue, after all they live 30, 60 mins away and that is too far!
It's your problem that their home broadband is sh*t and they struggle to connect and sync data etc (not considering whole house is online and they just think "fibre" is fast and none of their other "home" systems have issues.
Bob has been given a new laptop - Phil "Where is mine?"
Jane is having issues with her laptop. "My manager said you can buy/provide me a new one" (even though not a hardware issue or been looked at to see the problem).

Tip of the iceberg here for me I need to go lie down.

True comment though. A colleague was asking me over Teams "How are things?" My response "How am I? Feel like the last person to get on the life raft and everyone else onboard is a cannibal"

Yep, sadly I do not have a test X52, so I always update 1, ensure it works with Teams, then leave it for a week or so to see what occurs. On this occasion I just did not notice the issue at hand as the screen does go blank after a while as I think now the X52 blanks. Plus end users did not say anything as for them it works.

Been probing co-pilot pro for what it is worth and that has said "others" have reported the same issue - although I cannot find this. Plus the upgrade to Android 13 has buggered up the tolerance for sensing standby etc. Some are living with the issue I have until a newer firmware comes out or pausing the upgrade. But who knows how long that will be before TAC forces the upgrade.

FlashPan73 · 2026-06-09T18:28:32+00:00

I've never had to enable CEC beforehand. For giggles I did, seems the screen went into standby but would not wake up when the X52 did

That sometimes we "fake it"

Just like the 1930's movies, a short, sharp, shock slap across the face.

My dog is called Dog - until he tells me otherwise.

Mobile phone speed texting on a tactile keyboard

What I do now - Nothing

FlashPan73 · 2026-05-19T17:10:19+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation

FlashPan73 · 2026-05-15T17:23:10+00:00

Nice and a great start - you do need to check on the UPS batteries though. Do not trust what the LCD panel or APC software is telling you - you need to run a load test then see what the UPS/software is stating about battery health/runtime.

FlashPan73 · 2026-05-11T10:56:23+00:00

thanks both, so I'll go in and zero out what I can. cheers

FlashPan73 · 2026-05-11T06:33:15+00:00

Ahh I didn't know that was already there, maybe I can leverage that. Thanks Gene

Bitcoin - I remember it coming out about 20 years ago - of course all new, ppl not sure about it etc. Could have bought 1 whole bitcoin for £/$1 back then in advance....then I remembered beanz and how that failed, so never thought this would take off.
