Where's My Phone Update?
If you, like me, have a Windows Phone and are wondering just when you'll get a message telling you that an update is available, fear not. Already we have two updates for Microsoft's new mobile OS. The first was released back in February and simply contained an update to the phone update process itself. Ther second update contains the much requested cut and paste and some bug fixes and general OS improvements.
Many people have yet to receive any notification that even the first of these two updates is available to them.
Now Microsoft have published details of when mobile carriers worldwide will be issuing the updates to consumers. The website which you can find here categorises each update as being in Testing, Scheduling or Delivery.
The testing phase doesn't carry a time-limit though it's widely agreed that this should be one month maximum. The website defines the scheduling phase as typically lasting 10 days or less, though personal experience has taught me that this phase can go on for much longer depending on which carrier you are with.
The website covers carriers worldwide, though has a seperate page of information for users in the US where the updates are listed by handset rather than carrier.
The website isn't a difinitive guide as even when an update is in the delivery phase it could still take several weeks for carriers to deliver the update with Microsoft. The problems users of Samsung handsets received with the first update roll-out, where to up 10% of updated handsets had to be returned to the carrier to be reset, will have slowed matters considerably as this is a very time-consuming and costly process, and there would be some debate about where the blame and, therefore the final bill, would end. Whether this be with the carrier, handset manufacturer (in this case Samsung) or with Microsoft for their coding.

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
