Questions

• Several questions were raised:
  • Claim AI on tax (Sunday Mail): referred to using AI apps for working from home, claimable like any other software apps
  • Battery health, modern Lithium-Ion batteries should be resilient
  • Action when laptop lid closed, use Power settings to select
  • When Outlook fails to respond, use Task Manager to force the closure of the task
  • We are using Microsoft Edge, is this a good idea, yes

Threads from Meta

Introducing Threads: A new way to share with text

• Threads is a new app, built by the Instagram team, for sharing text updates and joining public conversations.
• You log in using your Instagram account and posts can be up to 500 characters long and include links, photos, and videos up to 5 minutes in length.
• We’re working to soon make Threads compatible with the open, interoperable social networks that we believe can shape the future of the internet.

Last point refers to the possible future standard called the Fediverse:

The fediverse is a collection of community-owned, ad-free, decentralised, and privacy-centric social networks.
