On-line Shopping 😉
Whilst we have all been on lockdown (except for front-line workers bless them🙏) have your online shopping transactions significantly increased, remained the same or even decreased? I have been an online shopper for several years which I find so convenient and cost-effective. Since lockdown though, I have used the 'Amazon' platform more than I had originally anticipated even taking into consideration the difficulties of lockdown. Here in the UK during the first few weeks of the pandemic, supermarkets experienced panic buying by many, many customers resulting in stripped shelves and getting a delivery slot was very difficult 🤔😮. Thankfully supermarket shopping delivery slots are much easier to book. But I had to resort to doing more virtual food shopping and found a source form a pub in a near-by village. 🥛🍇🥬🥦🥔 Restrictions in England are being lifted slowly and non-essential retail shops will be permitted to re-open on June 15th. I have to wonder though, whether shoppers in general will return to the High Street/Main Street in the numbers prior to the pandemic. The retail sector has suffered significant losses and several large department stores have gone into administration. Do you think that the pandemic has fundamentally changed the way we will shop in a post-pandemic world? For myself, I think it has. I find on-line shopping so very convenient - even buying printer cartridges and other desk essentials was easier than trooping to the retail park. I think MS/Windows/Skype et al had made my daily life much easier - thank you to all the teams. Now I can shop around the world, hold virtual meetings, keep in contact with friends and come to this platform any time of the day/evening. So cool 😎 Many thanks to all MS teams. Views? Many thanks all and keep well 😊
Utterances on Updates
Trying to be alliterative, not sure I succeeded 🥴 Thought I'd bore you for a while about Updates (From an almost quote by Jimi Hendrix). ALWAYS stay absolutely current❗ Meaning withOUT delays❗ I will talk about what is/was and what will be. Windows tries to restart your PC as infrequently as possible. Win10 has Saas or WaaS (Software as a Service, Windows as a Service), which refers to its FREE auto-updating. * There are 2 FEATURE updates annually or the bi-annuals, one in the Spring (H1) & one in the Fall (H2). Normally, one is Minor & one is Major. * There are Monthly Updates (2nd Tues). These are 90% security, 10% functional, so to speak. They are cumulative, meaning what IS + what's new. So, you don't have to go back & pick up anything from the past. They require a Restart. Ergo, besides the bi-annuals Windows is restarting your machine once a month. * Restarts can be set by the End User to happen outside of "Active Hours" 👌, now, that said... things have changed/are changing/will change. Some may have, already, noticed things are quicker, taking less time. A while back the methodology used for update delivery changed. The bi-annuals are much smaller & lighter & will become even more so. Updating is somewhat re-organised & more efficient: 1. Store is now handling most apps or will be & more than it did 2. Hs are being delivered in the same way as monthlies, now. 3. Some of the burden of the bi-annuals will greatly lessened in the near future. The OS will receive Feature stuff as soon as it is ready, instead of waiting for an H. This will happen via Windows Feature Experience Pack. You can see this, now in System > About, but it's not doing too much yet. Most of the above is, already, happening. Much is part of 21H2. 21H2 is heaps more than what will be visual & tangible, more than the cosmetics. Heaps of under-the-covers stuff with 21H2, as well as the superficial or visually obvious. This all improves the User Experience greatly. Cheers, Drew
