How weak leadership cratered Twitter’s morale

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

The billionaire Tesla CEO has changed his Twitter bio to Chief Twit. On Thursday his biographer Walter Isaacson posted a picture of Musk hobnobbing with Twitter employees at its San Francisco headquarters. He brought in Tesla engineers to “assess” the company’s code. And in a conciliatory post, Musk promised advertisers that under his watch Twitter would not be “a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences.”

“Advertising, when done right, can delight, entertain, and inform you,” he wrote — an acknowledgment, perhaps, that ads accounted for 89 percent of Twitter’s revenue last year.

The purgatory the company now finds itself in long predates Musk’s involvement

After formally taking control Thursday night, Musk quickly dismissed several of Twitter’s top executives, including CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and policy leader Vijaya Gadde, according to multiple reports.

Whatever Twitter may be about to go through, the purgatory the company now finds itself in long predates Musk’s involvement. Under former CEO Jack Dorsey, the company struggled to build a profitable business, despite operating a service with outsized cultural influence and one of the world’s most elite user bases. And Twitter’s weak leadership had proven to be a drag on company morale.

Documents shared with Platformersas well as interviews with current and former employees, illustrating how Dorsey’s waning attention to the platform, coupled with dissatisfaction with the company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, trust and safety issues, and other challenges, had left a significant percentage of

| Computer, Computers

Tablets are popular because they can be used for everything from school and home office tasks to entertainment and content creation. Finding a good tablet isn’t hard, but knowing where to start can be overwhelming if you’re trying to find the right combination of features and affordability.

Let’s start with Apple, which updated its entire iPad lineup in 2022. Along with faster processors across all of the latest models, Apple introduced the 10th-gen iPad with an entirely new design. However, the updated look and features come at a higher price, so Apple is still selling the ninth-gen iPad as its least expensive option.

Elsewhere in Best Tablet Land, Microsoft debuted a new Surface Pro 9 models in the fall of 2022. Meanwhile, Android tablets are available in a wide range of sizes and prices from the value-packed Amazon Fire tablets to Samsung’s top Galaxy Tab models that are strong competition for Apple’s iPad Pro.

In the value segment, Amazon’s Fire tablets remain the best tablet option for cheap and kid-friendly models. But if you’re looking for something that’s good for productivity and entertainment, there’s an affordable Chromebook that blurs the line between laptop and tablet.

What’s the best tablets?

Chinese Rocket Plummets to Earth, Causing One Country to Halt Air Traffic

A Chinese rocket booster made an out-of-control reentry into Earth’s atmosphere over the water early Friday, the US military’s Space Command confirmed.

The booster is the first stage of a Long March 5B rocket that several days ago sent a large module to orbit to expand China’s Tiangong space station.

“The People’s Republic of China Long March 5B #CZ5B rocket reentered the atmosphere over the south-central Pacific Ocean at 4:01 am MDT/10:01 UTC on 11/4,” the US Space Command tweeted Friday.

The Long March 5B weighs over 20 metric tons, measures 10 stories tall and appears to lack the hardware to make a controlled reentry and steer itself toward a safe, planned splashdown.

Instead, the Chinese space program rolled the dice that what remained of the rocket, after much of it burned up in the atmosphere, would land somewhere on the majority of the planet’s surface that is either unpopulated or covered by ocean.

It seems the gamble worked out this time, but in the process the dramatic descent caused a 40-minute closure of a significant portion of Spanish airspace, causing delays to around 300 flights, according to the Reuters news agency. It also potentially littered debris over

Microsoft Office will become Microsoft 365 in major brand overhaul

No Comments
| Computer, Computers

Microsoft is making a major change to its Microsoft Office branding. After more than 30 years, Microsoft Office is being renamed “Microsoft 365” to mark the software giant’s collection of growing productivity apps. While Office apps like Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint aren’t going away, Microsoft will now mostly refer to these apps as part of Microsoft 365 instead of Microsoft Office.

Microsoft has been pushing this new branding for years, after renaming Office 365 subscriptions to Microsoft 365 two years ago, but the changes go far deeper now. “In the coming months, Office.com, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features,” explains a FAQs from Microsoft.

That means if you use any of the dedicated Office apps, they’ll all be branded with Microsoft 365 soon, and with a new logo. The first logo and design changes will appear at Office.com in November, followed by the Office app on Windows, iOS, and Android all getting rebranded in January.

Microsoft 365 will now be home to Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Loop, Clipchamp, Stream, and Microsoft’s new Designer app. A central Microsoft 365 app for both mobile and desktop will include a feed of relevant colleagues and meetings, a hub for all your files and documents, and custom tagging to group and organize content.

The Microsoft Office brand won’t disappear instantly,
