Booooo, the end of @OctopusEnergy coffees this week, last one’s tomorrow. All I want is free coffee, it makes a real difference to my life. “VIP concert tickets, dream weekends away, once-in-a-lifetime experiences” are not for me, I just want coffeeeeeee. ☕️💔

@takenocrap69 Boooo. Just had the same email.

Looks like the free octopus coffees are history as they move to the Monday scratch card.

@Mister_MDM 🤣

@steveprentice yeah... when i was reading it .. i was like what....

@TravelSomerset Any updates? Google maps would have you believe it's open again...

The #A358 is currently closed in both directions following an incident between Stony Head (A378 junction) and Greenway Lane, Thornfalcon. We anticipate the closure will remain in place for some time and we'll share further updates when available.

@xfiredesigns Thanks for the further information guys! Good to know.

@steveprentice By current knowledge version 2071353020 might be the culprit. It works for many already, only a small fraction of users seem to be affected.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT update your Pro-Bridge's firmware at this moment! Turn auto updates OFF! We have several reports of the latest update resulting in unresponsive Bridges.

@merill I kept waking up over night to look, still not there for me, boooo. The wife reserved hers yesterday already, doh.

On your WhatsApp app go to Settings > Account > Username If you dont see it, update your app

I just reserved my @merill username on WhatsApp. WhatsApp is starting to roll out usernames. Hey yours today before someone else snags it. Steps below 👇

@xfiredesigns Thanks for the heads up. Can you confirm what the firmware version is that’s causing the problem please? If I read mine right it’s currently 1.77.2071353020.

@richardhicks Looks at GSA…

With the June #Microsoft #security update, #Windows Server now supports DNS over HTTPS (DoH). #windowsserver #winserver techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/networkin…

@StevenKister1 @AdamGell @Mister_MDM Doh, just posted the very same link. 😃

@steveprentice @AdamGell Did you see @Mister_MDM 's post? patchmypc.com/blog/unattende…

Never getting unattended support. It’s so frustrating

@AdamGell patchmypc.com/blog/unattende… there was defo work on it. Any idea if it’s still coming @Mister_MDM ?

@steveprentice I heard it’s not coming

@theTRUESPEED Hello! 150.251.123.0 IP range belongs to you guys but comes up as "Belgium Brussels Truespeed Communications Limited" for IP location, which is frustrating when geo blocking our users to UK. Can you fix it please?

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT I know, I know, that’s a given. 😆 But leads to fallout of other things like our dependence on NPS for WiFi, and a proxy that is AD integrated and would need replacing etc etc, (E7 please mr manager!) so it’s a bit slow going with having to change out other tech first. 😕

@steveprentice @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT Yes, that should be the flow. You should also start piloting Entra Join to move away from hybrid join...

Time to move to Entra Cloud Sync oofhours.com/2026/05/29/tim…

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT (And I guess there I’m hoping that as key trust is configured already then it will continue to work)

@merill @mniehaus @DhanyahkMSFT Thanks Merill, much appreciated. At least I’m on the right lines then I think / haven’t missed something obvious. I guess my best scenario is likely as new devices roll out to try to get them cloud trust, leaving key trust as legacy.

@MPECSInc I see it has in place upgrade as one of the options. My company seems dead against that even though I’ve not had issues my self previously. What’s the best practice recommendation there? (Or your personal recommendation?)
