Could the poop emoji be replaced with a “Thumbs down”? It seems overly harsh in a forum that tries to maintain a degree of civility. At least add a “Thumbs down” so we can disagree without “pooping” on someone, no matter how much we might disagree.

Hi all, Here’s a place for any questions you have this week. Thanks! Paul ******* CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED CLOSED *******
I have been trying to find a replacement for MS Whiteboard. There are several apps on Microsoft Store to investigate. However there is something odd happening. All that I sellect to check out fail download. I get a RETRY button and below it says “Missing required driver.” No indication of what that would be that…

“Microsoft Whiteboard for Microsoft account is being retired. Starting from August 22, 2026, you will no longer be able to create or edit whiteboards. Please export any whiteboards you’d like to keep before September 5, 2026, after which they will be permanently deleted” Curious why and what other apps might be on the way out?…

https://www.theverge.com/tech/967983/lg-monitors-mcafee-adware-gamers-nexus This is probably closer to teapot than tempest, but from my read companies are abusing the driver install model in Windows to push adware. Gross, but really something that Microsoft does themselves already via the OS itself, so I don’t see them trying to put a stop to it.
I saw this article on Facebook. https://wccftech.com/adata-chairman-warns-dram-shortage-will-last-another-10-years-ai-bubble-talk-can-wait-until-2040/ I still think we need at least one new company to get into the memory buisness. The existing companies either can’t or don’t want to keep up with the demand.
Happy Friday! This is an incredible grab bag of reader questions and the ideal way to kick off the weekend a bit…
