Remember #MSIE? In 2022, #Microsoft is finally ending #Internet_Explorer. Nothing follows #IE11 except a transition to #Edge. https://www.tomshardware.com/uk/news/internet-explorer-killed-by-2022 [www tomshardware com]

Also: #Chromium based browser #Brave disables #Google’s #FLoC https://brave.com/why-brave-disable-floc/ [brave com]
https://nu.federati.net/url/281049 [www theverge com] notes that #Mozilla #Firefox currently has no plans to implement #FLoC and that #DuckDuckGo is already working to block FLoC.
#Microsoft #Edge and #Apple #Safari issued somewhat evasive answers, but it is expected that Apple will be 100% no on FLoC.

@vegosf05 My $EMPLOYER uses Microsoft's cloud-based #Microsoft 365 e-mail system with Outlook as the local client. Which means all mail, foldered or not, is stored in their #Azure cloud platform.
Given a choice, I would abandon both #MSOutlook and #MS365. But it is not my call.

#Microsoft has this irritating ? pop-up in #Outlook to tell you how wonderful their new always-in-the-way search is. So far, it seems inadequate for a mid-sized inbox (mine is currently around 8,000 items, though it is time for another pruning), and probably gets worse for people with large inboxes (we have certain people who have over 100,000 items in their inbox).
If it is compared with #Bing’s search and the built-in #Windows search, it probably is improved. Since today’s my day off and Rich from Mich (-igan) keeps calling to ask about setting up a laptop, I opened Windows Explorer, found the folder, searched for the “IT Setups Guide” document ... it didn’t appear. But when I manually scrolled and found it, it was there under the name I searched for.
In Rich’s defense, he’s setting up a domain laptop for another user in a location that does not have a connection to the domain. I’m not even sure the person who writes that document even covered that situation, but it can’t hurt to ensure Rich has access to the unofficial reference that is now being used in official trainings.

@geniusmusing I’ll read the article later, but does this mean that #Microsoft is going to assist in overturning the vastly unjust #DMCA law? I mean, #GitHub is significant to developers, but to the outside world, they’re invisible. But if Microsoft as a whole says “DMCA is unfair, unjust, and hurting copyright and patent dependent industries by enabling cartels like #RIAA and #MPAA to freely trample on smaller, independent content producers and the people who just want to enjoy music and movies”, some of those empty-headed congressionals might listen.

https://mikestone.me/i-dont-trust-github [mikestone me] "I Don't Trust GitHub"
I'm not big on #GitHub (even before Microsoft bought them), but my impression of DMCA is that GH did not have any say about closing repositories.
The claims in the DMCA request may have been garbage, but #Microsoft GitHub doesn't get to choose. They have to disable access to those repos or be liable for any further damages the copyright abusing #RIAA claimed.

Playing #Minecraft (at least the original Java edition) will soon require a #Microsoft account. Your old #Mojang account is going away.
I guess I'll try to log in and close my account. I only tried to play it once (spawned underwater, so immediately drowned).
