I was eight years old in 1990 when Windows 3.0 landed with showtime flair. My own journey had started a little bit earlier on a Commodore Plus/4, typing BASIC line by line from a computer magazine. Later saving it to tape, and learning the quiet thrill of making a machine do exactly what I wanted.
This week reminded me of something simple — and yet easy to forget.
Human connection doesn’t happen through screens. It happens in hallways, over coffee, and sometimes… at a hotel breakfast buffet. That’s where I saw a small sign that said:
“Be happy for no reason.”
Many businesses have come to rely on Microsoft Teams for remote collaboration, whether for small daily catch-ups or larger company-wide virtual meetings. If you are looking to run more effective online sessions, there are a few practical tips you can apply right away.
We’ve all been there — sitting down to print something important only to discover that your ink cartridge is empty. Back in 2008, when I was using the Canon Pixma MP160, this was a common frustration. Fortunately, refilling cartridges was a straightforward and cost-effective solution. Today, the landscape has evolved, but some challenges remain.
In the vast realm of Windows operating systems, users often come across intriguing claims about a mysterious “God Mode”. It is referred to as unlocking hidden settings and features and superpowers within the system. However, it’s time to set the record straight. Again! As I discussed in a previous blog post in 2010, this so-called “God Mode” is not a clandestine feature. It is rather a clever way to organize and consolidate various settings into one accessible location.
The Microsoft Outlook for iOS app, first released in 2015, has developed significantly since its inception. With features such as Focus Inbox, integration of various cloud services and attachment capabilities without having to download, it serves as a comprehensive email management tool. The app also allows editing of Office document attachments directly and is compatible with various providers like Exchange, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and iCloud. However, it lacks support for POP or IMAP accounts.
Do you remember 2016? Pokémon Go had us wandering through parks, Stranger Things hit Netflix for the first time, and Microsoft launched its very own sovereign cloud in Germany, complete with data trustee and physical isolation. Well, guess what? We’re back. Sort of. Because Microsoft 365 is now—once again—available from German data centers.
Für Administratoren und auch für viele Anwender, kommt es immer wieder vor, dass Daten Massenweise importiert oder exportiert werden müssen. Das Mittel der Wahl ist oft eine Komma getrennte CSV Datei.
Ah, the humble Comma-Seperated CSV file. It’s not glamorous. It’s not flashy. But let’s be honest: it’s the Swiss army knife of data exchange. Whether you’re automating a process, mass-importing data into a system, or just trying to avoid the Excel-to-ERP blues. CSV is your loyal companion.
Sometimes Microsoft ships a feature that makes you go, “Wait, didn’t SharePoint already do this?” And the answer is: yes, but not like this.
Let me introduce you to a new friend in your Microsoft 365 toolbox: Microsoft Lists. And the good news? It’s finally landed in Germany. 🎉
2020 has been a wild ride so far. And for many of us, Microsoft Teams has become the digital home base, whether we were ready for it or not. Overnight, virtual collaboration turned from “nice-to-have” to “absolutely essential,” thanks to a certain virus that needs no further introduction. 🦠
Sometimes it starts with a name. And sometimes… a name change unleashes confusion, support tickets, and endless “Wait—what exactly do I have now?” questions.
April 21st, 2020 marks such a moment in Microsoft Cloud history:
All Office 365 Business plans officially become Microsoft 365.
