Every year #Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals get assessed on their community contributions and rewarded if they make the mark. Phew, I made it through another year for my contributions to the #PowerPoint community. Thank you Microsoft MVP Communities for the support and another annual disc.

I'm happy to see that two reasonably large silicon valley tech companies Apple and Google decided to collaborate on unwanted covert tracking yet surprised that they didn't consider the option "It's mine". I can't be the only one to own an Android phone and an AirTag, surely?

When you can't decide which font to use, just use them all! #GraphicDesign

Today is Color Blind Awareness Day. Whenever you're using a PowerPoint presentation, you can make sure that it's accessible to people who are color-blind using the 'Inspect without Color' tool on the Improved Accessibility Ribbon: msft.it/60149ZM5r #ColorBlindAwarenessDay

What is the point of offering a UX to select a date if there's a data entry rule preventing anything other than the current date Progressive

Come on BBC News (UK)! It's been PowerPoint, with two upper case Ps, since 1987. The registered trademark is spelled incorrectly in three places in this article: bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

Ok Google and Apple, I have an Android phone and an AirTag. They both belong to me and I'm fed up of receiving the message below with no option to tell it to stop bothering me. You missed something when designing this UX! Please can you fix it?

I ordered a custom-made hitch from uhaul 8 weeks ago at great expense. FedEx claim they delivered it at the end of November in time for the scheduled fitting on 2nd December but nobody can find it. So now I have to wait another 8 weeks for a new one to be made. This sucks!

Very disappointed to learn that Mr. Cooper Mortgage have lost my most precious personal financial details to a cyber attack. This is the second time in 5 years this has happened. Your letter doesn't explain why you are not storing this data securely i.e. hashed with salt and pepper.

Dear Microsoft Office Office 365, your account management experience is driving me crazy today. I just want to do some work. How can I be signed in AND not signed in at the same time?!!!

This experience could be so much better (aka like Zoom) Microsoft Teams When will it be possible to tell Teams where my camera is and have it auto-position the video feed of the person I'm talking to accordingly?

Praise where praise is due. Derrick at the uhaul centre in crystal MN was great this week. He fitted the hitch on my car in good time, responded to my note to discuss the job, and was charming to talk to. What a great guy.

Had great support from Tushar at Three UK just now. Very patient with my very complex problem which resulted in Three's inability to contact me to inform me of a new account system that went live in 2023 because you didn't have my email address on record, leaving me high and dry.

We were recently forcibly "upgraded" from @Netflix with no ads, to a package with ads. As a British fan of ad-free TV (aka BBC) this is the end of the line for Netflix which interrupted one episode about 6 times last night. #NotDoingIt #NoThanks #ByeBye

In times where #accessibility is paramount, is this really a good idea Microsoft? I have no clue what the text says next to the @MSFTCopilot logo in the Windows Search bar.

This is so Apple I bought a new Magic keyboard for $162 after checking that it's compatible with my M2 Mac and macOS 11.4 onwards (I have 14.7.3). Several features don't work - function key, battery monitor and Touch ID! Apple support tell me I need Sequoia. What utter rubbish.

Thank you so much to the two United Airlines staff who helped my distraught and panicked 19-year old daughter at gate A2A in Washington's Dulles airport last night (Friday 13th). She missed her connecting flight having returned from Zurich on a delayed flight. You are stars!

Dear Apple. I know security is important but what on earth am I supposed to do with the plethora of new notifications I don't recognise? It would help if the publisher of the service was included in these dialogs, along with an explanation of what the service does.
