My friend married a Butt from Newfoundland then hyphenated her name.

Not using real name, but it’s like Jane Does-Butt.

Also out of support today;
- Office 16/19
- Exchange 16/19
- Skype for Business

Ending support for Win 10 will result in millions of devices that can’t upgrade to 11 becoming vulnerable.

How can you keep them secure? Easy! By paying MS $30USD for Extended Security Updates which will last 1 year. 😑

Microsoft has reminded customers today that Windows 10 has reached the end of support and will no longer receive patches for newly discovered security vulnerabilities.

20 years ago today, I boarded a Canjet Boeing 737-500 from YYT to YYC, to begin a new career and life out west. I thought that at the time it would have been a 5 year mission, and one day I'd return to the rock.

In a weird turn of events, there are airplanes visible in Skycards this morning, but not on FlightRadar24.

Anyone else having this issue?
