Hands on with Microsoft's own PC Cleaner and Utility Toolkit - Microsoft PC Manager - AdamFowlerIT.comwww.adamfowlerit.com Microsoft PC Manager isn’t an overly well known tool. It came out in 2022 and according to the offical website it will “Safeguard your PC in a quiet and reliable way”. It’s not included in Windows, in...

Getting harder to stay on X - taking a stance around censorship is a bit different to wanting to remove videos of a hideous violent terrorist act. You should want to remove those posts anyway. Pick a better fight than this one to prove your point.

Azure monitor and the whole AMA, MMA, OMS discussion is heckin confusing. If you care about monitoring join the Free Ask Me Anything Sessions that are coming up with the Fast Track team at MS aka.ms/amaonama

Documented a bit of my experience in lighting up Copilot for Microsoft 365 as well as the 5am wakeup call. Hope you enjoy the read! www.adamfowlerit.com/2024/04/micr...

Anyone in AU timezone gonna start playing Diablo IV when it goes live on Xbox Game Pass tomorrow(ish) and wants to level up together? It'll be a 'kids are in bed' time.

I'm impressed that Madame Web lived up to the reviews of being that bad of a movie. What a waste of space of a film.

This confused me for a moment - comparing Microsoft 365 features in one license I have shows icons, where another license the icons are missing. Submitted feedback in the hope someone reads it.

For those who aren't aware that even the platypus can do some serious damage...

Started a new job as a Principal Solutions Architect for an org that's a Microsoft Partner. Find me on LinkedIn to see where :) (and connect!) Looking forward to the new challenges ahead!

Yep I bought an ice cream maker, it has 'creamify technology'. First run...

Alright, looks like I've got a Chromebook to play with! #LenovoIN

Trying my hardest to relax.

The Apple store in Hawaii was smaller than expected.

Does a good premade Iced Coffee in the USA exist? Because this ain't it.

One noticeable thing for me about Hawaii is the lack of urgency from people that work here. They're not slow, they're just not working themselves flat out. Frustrating when constantly waiting for things, but most these people have two jobs to make ends meet so I try to tip well where I can.

I love Synology's hardware, so was more than happy to check out their cloud offerings: Synology C2 Suite Review www.adamfowlerit.com/2023/12/syno...

I Bought A (refubished) Enterprise Printer For Under $100AU https://www.adamfowlerit.com/2023/12/i-bought-a-refubished-enterprise-printer-for-under-100au/

How is Amazon making money by sending me a couriered box of individual bottles of water?

Finally got my hands on a @lenovo.bsky.social ThinkPhone - only had a play for a few minutes but the phone feels snappier than my Pixel 7 Pro to interact with, and it's rather thin and light. Anyone got one, what do you think of it? #LenovoIN

Ahh free petrol!

The latest update for Android let's you use your phone as a PC Webcam! Requires tethering via USB but still a nice addition.

Just had the Lenovo ThinkVision M15 Mobile Monitor I bought turn up, does this count for #ThinkPadThursday? #LenovoIN

That printer I bought for under $100 AU delivered turned up and it actually works pretty well! Hoping to do a full writeup soon, throw any questions you may have at me!

I don't think I'll ever understand cryptic crossword clues.

Cola Chupa Chup flavoured popcorn, will this be amazing or an abomination?

Tesla Powerwall 2 is online and operating - let's hope it saves me a bunch of money, expecting a ROI of 5-6 years based on existing energy usage.
