Audi MPV confirmed for production - report

Could be launched in 2016

Audi's sales and marketing boss has confirmed the company will build an MPV.

Speaking with Autocar, Peter Schwarzenbauer revealed the model will be offered with six or seven seats.

He declined to go into specifics, but the magazine is reporting the model will be introduced in 2016 and ride on an enlarged version of the MQB platform. Insiders are also hinting it could wear the V (Vario) moniker and be badged the V4 (another rumored name is A4 SuperAvant).

A variety of engines are expected including a 1.8-liter TFSI with 180 hp (134 kW / 183 PS) and a 2.0-liter TFSI with 222 hp (166 kW / 225 PS). On the diesel side, there could be a 2.0-liter TDI with outputs of 141 hp (105 kW / 143 PS) and 175 hp (130 kW / 177 PS). There may also be a hybrid variant that features a 148 hp (110 kW / 150 PS) 1.4-liter TFSI engine and a 107 hp (80 kW / 108 PS) electric motor.

      I always thought the moon gets a lot of impact because there’s no atmosphere, so surely building a moon base is only going to end in disaster?

    • Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look

      Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams, here is a first look by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is heavily used in work and school environments, and perhaps one of its core but extremely useful features is the ability to record meetings. In past years, Microsoft has further improved upon this functionality by integrating AI, but you do need a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to leverage most, if not all, all of those capabilities. Now, the Redmond tech firm is making another significant enhancement in the area of Teams meeting recordings. Up until now, if you wanted to access Teams recordings, you had to arduously locate the meeting invite and navigate to the dedicated tab, or go to the cloud storage location such as a SharePoint site. This was a rather overwhelming activity, especially if you don't remember the name of the meeting or the meeting occurred quite a while ago. Microsoft is now attempting to solve this problem through a dedicated Recap app that consolidates all your recordings. This centralized experience will allow users to find all recordings from the past 30 days and also offer access to other related services such as transcripts and AI-powered summaries. Customers will have the option to search for recordings, filter them, and review multiple meetings by generating AI-powered podcast-style recaps. The Recap app will list all available recordings in both thumbnail and list views. The former is shown below: And here is how Teams users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license can select multiple recordings to generate a podcast-style audio recap: Microsoft has emphasized that the Recap app is pre-installed in Teams but it will not be pinned by default. Users will able to navigate to the Teams app store from the left rail, and pin it from the apps section. It will be enabled by default for all users once it becomes available. It's worth noting that while Teams recordings and transcripts can be accessed by all users governed by existing permissions, AI-powered features like intelligent summaries, audio recaps, and video recaps will require a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. The Recap app will be generally available to Teams users on Windows, Mac, and the web by the end of next month, with mobile support coming soon.

      It's so stupid that you have to "enroll" in these extended updates.
