I just killed two Paperlike covers in a row, putting them on my iPad Mini. As soon as a hair or dust particle gets on that sticky surface, it’s going to annoy me. I can’t ignore the micro-bubble that distorts the light from the screen.
I’m just going bare screen. I don’t have the patience anymore.

What’s up? I’m up Bluesky, ready to cohost the M365 Change Round-up with @tomarbuthnot.bsky.social and Daniel Glenn for Empowering Cloud. Taking one for the team and this month, I didn’t sleep in.

Agents for Copilot Chat. Copilot used to make changes to your document using App Skills. Now those skills have been moved out of natural chat and you have to select the agent to make those AI powered changes.

🎤 tap tap tap. Hello #MSIgnite. Is this thing on? Can anyone hear… oh wait. I was on mute.
Can someone create a Copilot that listens to others on the call and unmutes me when they call say, you are muted?
I hope you are all ready for a deluge of Agentritified features and apps. Here we go ☔️

Who remembers the Logitech feel mouse from early 2000’s? I had one and the haptic feedback was way ahead of its time. Buttons had different feedback. Drag and drop offered textures that felt like you were dragging something. It was highly configurable. Then suddenly dropped off the product line up.
