In other news: Computers can't tell whether stories stored in their memory are true or not. Computer-science researchers responded to this surprising news, saying: "What are you, an idiot?"

Microsoft is revealing more about how people are using its Teams app, and it predicts the novel coronavirus pandemic will be a turning point that will change how we work and learn forever. How you gonna keep them coming to the cube, now that they've worked in sweatpants?

If it gets a lot more people working at home instead of spending a stupid number of hours every week primping for work and commuting, it'll be a huge silver lining.

Just wait for google's new remote-working app!
It'll be really, really convenient, specially designed to be easy to set up and use, even for people who don't know what a computer is.
With all that personal data to be reaped, google will pull out all the social-engineering and marketing stops to ensure that everyone want to feed it to their reapers, rather than anyone else's.

Microsoft promises better communications as Azure cracks under increased demand during the coronavirus pandemic. Move everything to The Cloud! It scales!
That's a bit of an oopsie.
I guess they need to have Azure Incident Manager Service now?

|
If a bit of increased demand is too much for them, potential new customers would do best to sign up with someone else.

The cloud is nothing but another man's computer. It scales about as well as your own computer.

Ain't this what PagerDuty is for?
It's my 2 weeks for it starting tonight. oh joy.

Sorry for that. I know I don't miss it.
It must be double-irritating these days?

When pagers were clip-on devices, a colleague whose pager duty finally ended tossed it onto a busy street after bets were taken on how long it would last. They kept calling it until it failed to buzz. It survived longer than most of them had anticipated.

Visual Studio Live Share was built on the bold principle of making remote developer collaboration as powerful and natural as in-person collaboration. Who needs Zoom, have your next team meeting in VS!

Microsoft's newest Windows 10 Fast Ring test build, 19603, adds File Explorer-Linux integration, as well as new user clean-up recommendations. Yup, it's the Year of Linux on Windows
It's like millions of heads all exploded at once...

Did we ever find out whom they're doing this for?
Is it the same users that they added 43,000 emojis to the keyboard for?
Or maybe the three people who bought windows phones, for whom they also made the windows 8 and windows 10 desktop interfaces?
Or is is for the Linux guys (who don't want to run Linux on windows)(and many of whom don't even want to run windows on Linux)?
Or is it a windows-business-user thing, y'know, the users who only really want a web browser and an office suite?
Or maybe for average home users, who are obviously big fans of CLIs?
I'm only asking because they appear to be expending an inordinate amount of developer hours on this -- time that could perhaps be better spent on creating new icons.

It's for the person who wants/needs to use a windows desktop while developing penguin stack software.
I suspect internal use is probably a major customer. Azure needs to support *nix well; but MS's network/user management tools are Windows focused. Letting the azure team do linux dev on windows boxes makes things easier for the rest of MS's internal bureaucrazy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

So maybe 500 people world-wide, then.
At least it's an improvement in the regard that that's bigger than the user-base that they turned the windows desktop into a phone interface for.

It has been said that much of the good stuff that Microsoft does is due to internal requirements.
One alleged example is improved long file path length support in Windows. Improvements in this were apparently encouraged due to internal use of node.js and problems that devs were having with path length limitations.
