I have no idea what on Earth is going on with GMail tonight! I tried sending a reply to a friend via Thunderbird 78, as usual, but it didn't work. Then, search stopped working there, so I tried another copy on another computer with the same result. Then, I went to the actual GMail site itself (I despise that place) but even its own search button said "unavailable". I had to go message by message to find the one I wanted. I didn't change any settings, either in Thunderbird or GMail itself. I also tried it in my virtual machine, which I know should work, because it's what I normally use, but it did the same thing. Note that I tried this on Windows 7, 10, and 11. However, once I switched to my other GMail account, search worked fine. Can anyone help me figure out what is going on? I did move a large number of e-mails from GMail to Yahoo, but that was several days ago, and I've done it before with no problems. I actually can't wait to make the switch to Yahoo. These sorts of things drive me mad!

Sainsbury's installed AI to stop shoplifting. It then wrongly identified a customer who was literally paying for his shopping, and staff followed the machine’s instructions. The company blamed “human error”.

The corporate dream: machines make the decisions, humans take the blame.

Losing your phone is no longer just an annoyance.
Read the blog: https://marshsecurity.org/protecting-against-lost-stolen-mobile-microsoft-security/

Losing your phone when it contains access to your email, Microsoft 365, MFA, corporate data, personal accounts, banking, photos and potentially your entire digital identity is a little more serious than "annoyance".

I’ve published a new post looking at what you can do to reduce the impact of a lost or stolen mobile device, both from a personal perspective and also within a business. This blog covers some of the practical protections available through Microsoft and modern device management, as well as the steps worth taking before a device disappears.

Because realistically, the best time to think about how you’d respond to a lost phone probably isn’t five minutes after realising it’s no longer in your pocket.
