Interesting that Copilot ends the respond to my request for a document generation of our chat with a website link that goes to..... skype.com Unsurprisingly, the page cannot be found. But, I was able to download the export document it linked within the response.

Love sprint race weekends! McLaren starting on rows 2 and 3 will make it interesting. Extremely happy for Lewis on pole 🏎️ I feel less bad about my hairpin turn ability after watching practice and sprint qualifying. If they can't do it well, I'm lowering my expectations for me... by a lot.

Why does the copilot Mac app require me to use Copilot in a browser when I have an entitled m365 user account???? I'd be happy to share my feedback with the product team about their UX choices.
Screenshot of dark blue copilot app on Mac stating to switch to a secure Copilot with your enterprise account. There are two buttons at the bottom with options:
Go to Microsoft 365 Copilot or Sign in with another account

Outlook on my Mac locked up when I tried using Copilot built into Outlook. All I was doing was clicking around trying to find the option to pop the window out of Outlook.... and now, unresponsive. I feel like this should have been a unit test: User clicks each button in order and randomly.

I'm looking for my next thing, and I need to move fast. I have several years of experience in developer relations from startups to the enterprise, and I'm particularly skilled at distilling complex topics into something easily understood by newbies and non-technical folks alike, on stage or off. 1/3

I *really* miss my Velocloud SD-WAN device. It truly is magic. The speed and reliability of my unstable, non-wired internet connections were stellar. A series of 30+ power blips last night made my internet and network upset. I had to troubleshoot rather than be blissfully unaware of any issues.

Received credentials for a mainframe sandbox a few hours ago. The logon process so convoluted you'd think I've never logged into a server before based on how many questions I had to ask. I've asked if they regret giving me access already =) I think they've underestimated my power to break things!😆

Waking up and remembering the #AusGP brings a smile to my face (as long as I ignore Piastri's P9). Can't wait for this weekend!

Melbourne will always be my favorite race. Exciting start to the season! #AusGP

Well done Lando! Extremely unlucky Oscar. That pass on Hamilton was sinister tho!

It must feel demoralizing to be lapped by the two McLarens like that.

What is this nonsense? I can't watch F1 FP3 unless I pay for an additional channel?

The top 5 drivers for FP1 in Melbourne are basically the same order as races at the end of last season.... Would be interesting if that's what Sunday looks like too!

Dealership is ordering: - Cameras - Harness for each camera - Door harness - Antenna lines Impressive that this is only 2 days of work. I think they'll have the entire Cayenne interior torn out! Videos would be neat. Panoramic roof and shade are working fine after recalibration with a new tester.

People are jealous and spiteful because of the stories they make up in their heads. Most people who drive Teslas haven't been in this position before. And they might not have the mental fortitude or driving skills to handle it. Don't perpetrate and/or support this behavior. People will get hurt.

This also happened with my Audis. German car owners have a thick skin because we're used to it. It doesn't mean that it's ok - it's scary because people are so aggressive and follow me to try to box me in someplace they could do more harm. I've called the cops for help more times than you can count.

I'm all for not being a fan of dumb cars (Teslas). But it's not cool to be a-holes to the drivers. For decades people have run me off the road, tailgated, brake checked, yelled and flipped me off, vandalized my rides, and even spit on my car at stop lights all because I drive Porsches.

Representing McLaren F1 today with my Papaya. Can't wait for the season to start! Porsche of Colorado Springs hooked me up with a Papaya Macan loaner to keep the theme. 😁

The best I could get on my Cayenne when I purchased it in 2023 was 7 years. This feels like I'm writing a Porsche ad. But really, just want you all to know that in addition to being high performing, reliable vehicles - if there is an issue, well, you just stop by and they fix it for $0.

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
All my Porsche daily drivers have been Certified Pre-Owned which means all these things cost me $0. And Porsche of Colorado Springs provides a loaner for routine maintenance or break/fix - great way to experience other P cars too! I saw yesterday that Porsche now offers CPO for over 10 years. 6/🧵

The Panamera wasn't actually overheating in a split second. Porsche provided a software update and all was well. IIRC, that was about a month's worth of troubleshooting before the problem was found and the fix was applied. I felt proud that I was the first Panamera owner to cause this condition! 5/🧵

Amanda Blevins @amandablev.bsky.social · 06/03/2025
Nothing they did fixed the issue and every time that alarm went off I pulled to the side of the road in a panic which wasn't the safest thing to be doing on high speed roads. They worked with Porsche engineers and found that the issue was the software that handled calculations based on G forces. 4/🧵

I haven't had a Porsche car gremlin since my 2010 Panamera 4S would freak out with an overheating red alarm and pegging the coolant temp needle when I took on and off ramps spiritedly. The techs drained the coolant system multiple times, replaced the thermostat, and more 3/🧵

and when they tried to run tests it got so mad that now the sunroof won't open in addition to the shade not closing. It also has some sort of squeak. I blame the previous owner who wired a radar detector up there and probably damaged more than the techs have already found. 2/🧵
