The viewing figures in season 2 plummeted after 1 of the main characters died in season 2 episode 1. I think hbo is regretting listening to him so they got rid of him. -

Google Workspace now lets you use custom AI Gems directly in Docs, Gmail, and more by Paul Hill Google Workspace users can now access Gems from the side panel of Google Docs, Slides, Sheets, Drive, and Gmail. Previously, Gems could only be accessed from the Gemini app directly. For anyone not familiar with Gems, they’re a more advanced feature in Gemini where you can make your own chatbots, powered by Gemini, with custom instructions. If you’re interested in learning more about them, check out my editorial from April, where I argue custom AI bots are the best thing about generative AI and how to create your own bots. The decision to make Gems available across Google Workspace has the potential to significantly speed up people’s workflows if they’ve started using Gems already. If you’ve never made a Gem, Google has several pre-made ones including a Brainstormer, Writing editor, Coding partner, and Learning guide. Google Workspace users can leverage Gems in an almost infinite number of ways. For example, imagine if you’re a teacher in whatever country and you have to make lesson plans for your class that must follow a certain structure, you can use natural language to program a gem to expect certain inputs from you (such as grade, subject, topic etc) and get an output that follows the required guidelines. If you’re a journalist, you could create a gem to quickly strip out the key bits of news from a press release or if you’re a student you can create a bot to break down complicated subjects into something easier to understand. The possibilities are nearly endless and now the Gems you make are even more accessible. Google mentioned that Gems can be accessed via the side panel of all supported Workspace applications and can be used across Workspace capabilities including @ mentioning, accessing files and folders, and more. If you need to create a Gem, you’ll still need to do that on the Gemini website. To get started with Gemini in Google Workspace, just click the “Ask Gemini” (spark button) in the top-right corner. Google said that the Gems feature rollout is an extended rollout which means it might take more than 15 days to get the feature. Admins out there do not need to do anything and there are no specific admin controls in the side panel for Gems or Gemini. -

Microsoft changes hit Teams Android devices: Disable Entra ID policy to restore sign-in by Paul Hill As part of its Secure Future Initiative, Microsoft has deployed a new Entra ID Conditional Access policy targeting Device Code Flow authentication. Unfortunately, it has led some Microsoft Teams-certified Android devices (Teams Rooms on Android, Teams Phones, Teams Panels, and Teams Displays) to be logged out and signing back in can be a bit fiddly so guidance has been shared. Microsoft said that it shared previous guidance which explained how to exclude Android devices, but it seems some admins didn’t catch this as many devices were not excluded and have been signed out. It’s important to realize that this is not a bug, it’s a security feature. However, the move could have been better communicated. To sign the devices back in, you can do so manually. However, if the devices are remote you’ll need to follow these steps: By disabling the “Block device code flow” policy in step 1, it will change everything back to how it was before Microsoft decided to enable it to boost security. This will allow you to get those affected Android devices logged back in again. Also pay special attention to step 2 which says you might need to reboot your device three times. Once you have your Android devices logged in again, it’s probably a good idea to follow Microsoft’s previous guidance and add these to an exclusion list before re-enabling the “Block device code flow” policy. Microsoft recommends only allowing DCF where it’s absolutely necessary and then blocking it elsewhere. The best thing to do is to add your Teams Android device to the exclusion list - this will allow these devices to operate normally, while boosting overall security. If you’re an admin and have been impacted by this, be sure to take proactive measures to avoid disruptions in the future. -

Question
+Majesticmerc MVC
Moderator note: this thread was stickied by moderation, and moderation will enforce these rules on this forum.
Thanks, Andre S.
It seems to be that we've got a lot of people in this subforum at the minute looking for help with school/college programming projects at the minute. I thought I'd share my 2 cents for both askers and answerers.
#1 WE WILL NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU.
See below...
#2 WE WILL NOT DO YOUR HOMEWORK FOR YOU.
While I don't think anyone here will refuse to help a struggling student, a certain amount of offence is taken when you try to take advantage of our help to get your homework done without putting in any effort yourself. If you copy and paste an assignment without evidence that you've attempted it yourself, you're likely to get hostile responses (see here).
#2a Show Your Work
If you're struggling with an assignment, show us what you've done so far (or at least the relevant portion). If we can see what you've done, we're going to be able to help you more easily!
#3 Use Code Tags
Reading unformatted code is a pain in the bum. Using code tags will make your code easier to read, and make it easier for other members to help you with your problem.
This:
vs this:
int main()
{
if (true)
{
std::cout << "TEST" << std::endl;
else
{
std::cout << "WUT" << std::endl;
}
}
#4 Simplify
Sifting through piles of irrelevant code makes debugging a pain. If you find a bug, make an attempt to reduce it to it's simplest possible form before posting. Remove any functions or variables that don't contribute to the bug. You never know, you might even find the bug yourself in the meantime ;).
#5 Ask a Question
We've got some talent in this forum, but none of us read minds (AFAIK :shiftyninja:). Dumping a load of code and announcing "it doesn't work" is likely to leave your topic unanswered and/or ridiculed. If you ask a specific question, you're likely to get a proper answer.
Examples:
If you are unsure how best to ask your question, stackoverflow.com offers some great advice on how best to ask questions and stack the odds in your favour getting the appropriate answer.
#6 Give Us All The Information
Like was mentioned above, saying "it doesn't work" isn't enough information for us to solve your problem. If you're getting errors, either from exceptions or from the compiler, tell us what they are. We could spend all day guessing the specific error, or you could just tell us and save hours of wasted time.
#7 We Won't Do All The Work For You
Sort of related to #1 and #2 above. While we'll try to help as much as possible, it's counter-productive if we help you with your homework and you don't learn anything from it. If we modify your code for you to solve your problem, you didn't learn anything! In some more encompassing questions (e.g. here), we might provide pointers and help, but leave the actual coding for you to do. You wouldn't give us your diploma, so we won't give you it either ;).
#8 We're Not Avoiding Your Problem If We Tell You To Ask Your Teacher
If someone says "you should discuss this with your tutor", they're probably not trying to avoid answering the question. It's probably because you're missing some fundamental knowledge. If you're lacking basic knowledge that's required for the assignment, you're likely to struggle later too, so asking your teacher is for your own good. If they're unaware that you're struggling, they might leave you behind and you might end up failing! Nobody wants that, even us on this forum.
Teachers are paid to help their students, and most professors will have time for students to ask questions (some will have an open door policy, others will have allocated time for you). USE THEM IF YOU'RE HAVING PROBLEMS.
#9 There are No Stupid Questions
Guys, we're being pretty harsh on some of the newcomers. While it might be hilarious or frustrating seeing some poorly started topics, we should still strive to be helpful. Berating newbies for asking questions poorly or lacking fundamental knowledge or not asking a proper question makes us appear hostile, and this is a quiet subforum as it is! If we're going to shun homework topics, at least do it politely.
Salutations!
