My company uses Microsoft for email. Managing users is a mess with two systems ("Admin" and "Entra"). We don't use Microsoft for any Windows logins or anything resembling the cloud AD.

Earlier this year, one of my users lost access to his authenticator app. I followed instructions I found on the web, which went through the "Admin" web pages. Didn't work. I got on a support call with Microsoft, in which they could see my screen. They talked me through the same steps as I had performed earlier. Didn't work, even though it should. Eventually, with lots of searching, I happened on the "Entra" web pages and was able to actually fix the user's log in issue.

It's a mess.

Remember: we are talking about Business Insider here.

Actually, no. The framers gave Congress a lot of power. Unfortunately, Congress has, over the centuries, delegated that power to the President.

They might have abandoned them. That puts Sega's rights to them in a grey area.

Someone at Sega needs to get a cheque book out and make this right. Clearly Sega screwed up, and is trying to weasel out of responsibility.

This is the City of London Police. I am not surprised at their actions.

I think it would qualify as abandoned, which would put it in a legal grey area in the UK. I don't think that it is clearly Nintendo's.

This is the City of London police, who seem to think that one of their roles is protecting the intellectual property of large companies.

This is interesting:
"Police requested the seller relinquish ownership two days after releasing him from eight hours in custody, which he refused."
"requested" ... sounds like the police know they are on thin ice.

The fact that there has not been any indictments for handling stolen property also speaks volumes.

Are you talking about China and Xi or the USA and Trump?

My Pixel 4a (5g) still works well. Battery life is reduced, but no so much that it is unusable. I have always used a "Chargie" device to limit charging (not needed on newer phones, since this capability is in the latest versions of Android OS).

I keep the phone for its free Google Photos uploads. I have about 100GB of photos and videos in my 15GB Google storage.

Many people have time during their commutes. I walk for 30-60 minutes per day (got to get those steps in) and that's when I listen to podcasts. Without that activity (the walk or commute), I would not listen to them.

When I moved to another state, I could not pass the vision test without my glasses. But it was my reading glasses that I had with me that day. Apparently, this state doesn't care about distance vision.

The article says 74% of people, not drivers. I would assume that it really means 74% of those people eligible for a license have one.

Indeed, I fully agree. The funny thing is, monthly numbers would help us move away from the distortions of the quarterly cycle. If key data reporting becomes frequent enough, you can't get into a cycle of "do adverse-numbers stuff early in the quarter and then cram positive-numbers stuff into the end of the quarter". You have to - *gasp* - just run your business normally.

Some businesses could still manage to switch to a monthly cycle, but anyone who deals significantly in transoceanic feedstocks/parts/goods shipments won't be able to.
