Allowing connections to personal Teams accounts should help commercial Teams account owners connect to SMBs, many of which use Teams personal accounts for business, according to Microsoft. Since the feature also extends Teams to chat with external Teams commercial users, this should help Teams commercial customers strengthen ties with vendors and partners of all sizes, while potentially broadening its appeal for business-to-consumer communications. As of last week, Microsoft Teams had 270 million monthly active users (MAU), up from 250 million MAU last July....

The reason why we are talking about Viewer apps is that Microsoft announced this week in the Office updates blogs that it will discontinue PowerPoint Viewer, Excel Viewer, and Word Viewer in April 2019. According to the reports from gHacks, these apps are introduced when Microsoft updated the default document format for the Microsoft Office apps and was deemed to lend a hand to people sticking with the older formats....

Workplace comedies like WKRP In Cincinnati, Cheers, NewsRadio, Taxi, 30 Rock and countless other sitcoms have detailed the highs and lows of working for a living, but the new TBS sitcom Miracle Workers takes the idea to a different plane of existence: Heaven. It’s the realm of God and angels, the entities whose job it is to oversee Earth and humanity, even as both seemingly tumble closer toward the brink of destruction with every passing day....

Today was Microsoft’s Windows Tablet 8 unveiling. The product on the surface looks cool, people are hyped, but alas it will be a year before real products are given to real people. The iPad 3 with its Retina Display will have been on the market for months and Google will have iterated 10,000 Beta releases of Android before then on 200 different pieces of tablet hardware. On top of that, this new OS is really just smashing together Windows Phone 7 Metro UI Windowing (some admittedly nice UI features) with Windows 7 applications....

At the moment, among other things, a graphic power of 6 teraflops has been promised and the rest of the details, we have been able to know in advance, will be announced this week. The tech giant Microsoft has not said anything similar, but it is assumed that the wait will be worth it for Project Scorpio because the Redmond firm has wanted to spend more time developing its new game console than Sony to PlayStation 4 Pro and this is evident – relatively – in aspects such as graphics power: PlayStation 4 Pro has made the leap to the 4 teraflops, but Microsoft will go well beyond reaching 6 teraflops....

As promised by Xiaomi, the latest version of its take on Android — MIUI 7 — is now available for download for a bunch of its devices through its website. The ROM is still in beta stages though, so there are bound to be some bugs and issues present on it. MIUI 7 was unveiled by Xiaomi at an event in India last week. The latest version of the company’s skin comes with a number of new features and enhancements, including four new system UIs, XXL font, Quick OTP, Smart SMS filter, Baby Album, Auto DND, and more....

Many people are turning their vacation dreams into reality this summer, while also trying to stay on budget. But oftentimes, a hotel or rental, plane tickets, a car when you arrive, food and drinks, gas — can all add up fast. If you’re 55 or older, you don’t have to burn money to stay connected while you’re away, thanks to our sponsor, T-Mobile. Get travel benefits at no extra cost When you hit the road, shoddy internet can be a persistent problem....

However, we all know that the tech giant Microsoft failed miserably with Windows Phone, but with the arrival of Windows 10 for the ARM or the future Polaris, the light versions that run Win32 and UWP programs with ARM processors opens the door to an interesting future. Andromeda is currently the code name of the new device that the tech giant Microsoft is creating secretly, although it is also used to refer to the modified operating system that it will incorporate....

Modern horror master Mike Flanagan has so far directed seven feature films, and here’s how they stack up against each other, worst to best. There’s a certain pantheon of directors that are eternally revered within the horror genre. Names like James Whale, Wes Craven, Dario Argento, John Carpenter, and George Romero. While it may be too early yet to consider currently working directors for that exalted class, two from the modern era seemingly headed there are James Wan and Mike Flanagan....

As our smartwatches become more ubiquitous, which companies are banking on happening sooner rather than later, there are obviously going to be new and exciting ways for us to interact with them. While most wearables are meant to work as an accessory to our smartphones only, we’re starting to see some rather curious input methods begin to crop up for the small devices. It has not even been a week since we saw Fleksy unveil their Messenger application for Samsung’s Gear 2 smartwatch, and now it looks like Minuum wants to get in on the action with their very peculiar small keyboard....

The MixRadio was not just about the streaming but also the very fact that it let subscribers download unlimited songs with DRM rights, a rarity with online music players these days. Line, the Japanese messenger service had bought the business from Microsoft in December 2014. The company says that ever since then it has been struggling with the “overall performance” and the financial challenges posed by the music streaming industry as a whole....

Mokoko is as niche as they come, having been developed by a team of two and its shoestring budget crowdfunded by less than one hundred backers on Kickstarter. Its premise is an oddly fitting combination of retro action puzzlers like Volified and Qix from the Atari 2600 era, in which a player avatar must slice into a hostile 2D plane and claim enough “territory” to win, and adult puzzle games, where the goal is usually to reveal explicit images by clearing levels....

Secure Shell allows a user to run commands on a machine’s command prompt without without having to be physically present near the machine. Furthemore, it’s also possible to establish a secure channel over an insecure network in a client-server architecture, thus connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server. The SSH library used by Windows will be OpenSSH and Microsoft said it plans to contribute to the core library, as well....

However, we must bear in mind that at the same time these firms collaborate with each other when we talk about their hardware and software market since the penetration of their products is not the same in both cases. We say all this because the firm based in Redmond, of course, the tech giant Microsoft whose mobile devices are in danger of extinction, as we have already mentioned in recent months, has to promote the use of its own assistant in the products of the competition, as is the case at hand right now....

Through the Microsoft Teams forum, Teams Engineering has confirmed to a user that Microsoft is working on automatically recording meetings. This feature would come to the Mac version of Microsoft Teams as well. As first spotted by Windows Latest, Microsoft Teams will soon receive a top-requested feature that, for no reason at all, doesn’t exist yet. Zoom, for example, has always offered the ability to automatically record meetings, but Microsoft Teams does not....

Microsoft launched its most successful desktop operating system Windows XP on October 25, 2001, and the Mainstream support came to an end on April 14, 2009. The reason why we are talking about Microsoft’s Windows XP is that the operating system officially turned 16 previous week. According to the reports from NetMarketShare, Windows XP is refusing to die and it still holds the market share of 5.69% right now and it was declining day by day....

This sounds like a job for someone who’s not you, so you pull out your smartphone and start searching for area sprinkler repair companies. You’re in a hurry, so you pick the first one that comes up in your search. And your haste is exactly what they were hoping for because a new report says millions of business listings on Google Maps are fake. That means a broken sprinkler line could only be the beginning of your troubles....

As Mission: Impossible 6 continues filming, a new image offers the first look at Henry Cavill’s character. One of the most applaudable aspects of the Mission: Impossible film franchise is how it’s been able to seemingly reinvent itself over the years. Beginning the 1990s with the first, Brian DePalma-directed installment, the franchise has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but right now is looking better than it ever has before....
