Given my growing disdain for Office 365, I can only imagine that that was never an actual thought out design and instead is a bug.
My latest disdain is Teams, where the chat window is 25% of the available width of the screen. So when I send a code snippet, the poor recipient has to scroll left-right-left-right or copy and paste the snippet into some edit.
I mean really, WTF Microsoft? Could you not at least provide an option so I can maximize the width of the chat window?
So my manager pointed out, if you use the web version of Teams, there is (I can't remember the name at the moment) a site that provides CSS overrides to all sorts of websites, include Teams, that makes the font smaller and the width wider.
Cool, but think about it -- and overlay to tweak the CSS because Microsoft can't a) design a decent UI and b) provide enough simply customization of that poorly designed UI.

So be more positive, focus on their 'can do' achievements.
PS: don't upset the mslemmings! ...that smell when their weak bladders let go coz someone dissed ms.

after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

• Who would want to use windows media player, when VLC and dozens of other, better media players are available?
• Who would want to use ms paint, after using an app like PaintShop or Paint.NET -- or even IrfanView?
• Who would want to use windows explorer, after having spent a week using XPlorer2 or Q-Dir?
I could continue that list for just about every PoC that's installed with windows -- and then get started on context menus and the OS itself.
The only way that ms has changed is in its arrogance, which has increased geometrically, while its products have got progressively worse.

Tabs don't resize themselves like that. Granted, MS could very well have overridden default behavior for all controls in the browser, but I'd be very surprised if that was an actual bug.

It's a good feature for me, because I usually have rather a lot of tabs open, and having a quick burst of rapid clicking to close a lot of them made it a handy function. AFAIK, they were also the first with the close all to the left/right and close others context-menu options.
It's a shame they (like Opera) completely screwed up the UX in their newer browsers.

Aw, Jeeze!
Have they decided to reawaken the "information" theories?
They were utterly ridiculous when they were first dreamed up; age hasn't improved them.

A fully load HDD weighs more than an empty one.

It makes the disks spin slower when they get full.

Yes. Ones must weigh more than zeroes!

The invariant mass of an electron is approximately 9.109×10−31 kilograms, or 5.489×10−4 atomic mass units.
At the same time, a photon cannot have mass and, therefore, weighs nothing.
It depends.

Somebody is confusing two things:
1: The storage of information with the actual information, which is independent of both the storage media and it's transmission medium. My Date of birth is "information" (of a kind) but it is the same data regardless of the medium it is recorded on (but will have a different mass depending on that medium)
2: That 1's have mass and 0's don't, or that 1's are information, and 0's aren't. All options in a system are required in order to have information: try compressing data by removing all the 0's because "they have no meaning" and you'll see what I mean.

Don't confuse information with the various media for storage, retrieval, and transmission.
And would copying a file _create_ mass?

Hi all, I need to remotely access my home Linux hosted Postgresql database remotely - I'm thinking maybe a VPN is the way to go but thought I'd ask you lot first

I do similar and yes I use VPN for it. From my point of view an easy way and especially a very secure way.
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

Which VPN do you use ?

Were you seriously considering doing it without a VPN?
If so, your ideas may require some revision.
It ain't rocket surgery; you'll get the drift within a couple of hours.
