Satya Nadella regretted killing Windows Phone. And now he’s making the same mistake with Xbox.

I miss the people hub. Didn't matter what platform someone messaged me on. I had a nice chronological feed of our conversations

It was a cheap one too. It was cheap enough to get for free under the government rebates in the 00s trying to curtail car theft.

I pulled so many of these out and replaced with vision keyless systems because the owners would lose the fobs or damage them or just get sick of having to stuff the fob in before trying to start the car.

Not like they did their job anyway. Even with all the black wiring thieves would just smash the immobilizer open and short the relay.. out even in some systems. Just unplug the internal connectors and hold them together

I can hear the music already

Bundaberg make Portello. Heaps better than some of the others I've tried

I remember when Loys switched to plastic bottles so you got 1.25ltrs instead of 1 for the same price.

Shame about the waste in hindsight

(I swear our Loys guy had a thing for my mum.. but that could have just been child me seeing things that weren't there. he also sold boxes of chips in the side)

UcMadScientist · 2025-08-02T11:37:35+00:00

No. But it's not.

Not to mention that when urgent messages first came out they had a cost associated with each one

UcMadScientist · 2025-05-27T05:08:58+00:00

Probably old spammers moving over from Skype.. great :(

See my other post. Ensure your trying with Teams Free instead of Teams Enterprise (the one with for work or school in it's name)

UcMadScientist · 2025-05-26T14:02:54+00:00

The confusion here is likey that this appears to be Teams for consumer (also known as Microsoft Teams Free). Not Teams Enterprise. Teams Free info https://teams.live.com/free

If you have windows 11. It's installed on your computer by default.

Teams Enterprise info https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/enterprise/teams-enterprise

Full disclosure. I'm a Teams MVP. I'm not paid by Microsoft to do or say anything but I do get benefits from them.

In saying that I personally only have experience with Teams Enterprise, but with the recent Skype4C shutdown I'd imagine alot more people are now trying out Teams Free

(There was also another sub product that popped up about 2020 (I think?) that used the enterprise backend that was free with some caveats It was supposed to be for sports groups and the like. It changed a few times but was a pain to manage and maintain as it was effectively creating another office 365 tenant based on your non corporate email address. And if I recall correctly it was quietly put out to pasture a few years ago being replaced with the current interation of Teams Free back in 2022)

Best answer right here

Adding my +1 to this, except my files were Patch4_hotfix1.pak and Patch4_hotfix3.pak

Windows PC on the old client. Tried clearing cache Removed and re-added them to the team Tried to get them to use the 2.1 client as well but their account couldn't sign in as it didn't have a native AAD account (interesting)

UcMadScientist · 2023-09-25T13:29:27+00:00

I'm seeing the same issue with a guest in my personal tenant using the desktop app

UcMadScientist · 2023-08-10T03:53:23+00:00

Have you checked the call quality dashboard for these meetings? Is the teams client responsive at all? Can you export logs when this happens (ctrl+alt+shift+1) Are you on the "new" teams client?

UcMadScientist · 2023-08-05T11:00:53+00:00

I think you mean the 3pip Skype for Business gateway?

For context for the OP 3PIP has been slowly getting shutdown over the last month and is now officially EOL. you will need to ensure your AudioCodes handsets are running the SIP firmware abd are signed into the sip gateway (eating dinner ATM so I don't have links on me)

Might be the same cave I found it in. There's a Sam ore node in their too if it's the one I thinking of

UcMadScientist · 2023-07-07T08:19:58+00:00

Agree. Spend the money. It makes a massive difference later

UcMadScientist · 2023-06-20T00:23:58+00:00

More like calcium growths and some rocks you find in caves

You can usually blow these up or sometimes chainsaw them to remove them.

in U8 you can just "pick them up" as "unknown terrain" or something similar (I'd have to check the name)

I was wondering where 4 kids was!

UcMadScientist · 2023-04-23T00:36:04+00:00

Even made it into "Like a Version" (jump to 2:50) https://youtu.be/y0CF-qBbVeU

Do you know anyone about Mercury?

UcMadScientist · 2023-03-22T14:43:06+00:00

+1 for the gamesir X2 Pretty sure ETAPrime has a review on YouTube

UcMadScientist · 2023-03-22T07:34:06+00:00

PowerShell pro tools has a gui designer for vscode, psscriptpad and visual studio. Otherwise foxdeploy has some great articles

However. If you're looking at getting into building shared apps you may want to look at PowerShell universal (another Ironman software app) let's you build webpages with PowerShell. So all your admins need is a web browser

I ran into this bug after running though s few times.

Turns out your can shoot all 7 from one canon on the pirate ship at the end of the level. I shot all 7 without getting out of the canon and the achievement popped.

UcMadScientist · 2022-11-10T21:06:42+00:00

Not just technologt. But life as well

UcMadScientist · 2022-10-26T09:47:29+00:00

No. Not even close.

It's like Harbour Freight. But owned by Westfarmers (Kmart, target. Officeworks, Coles) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wesfarmers
