they asked the right question

Posted on 11 January 20185 August 2021 By antipaucity No Comments on they asked the right question

Let me compare the experience I wrote about yesterday to another I had the same year with the first customer I was ever sent to – HSBC. Just a couple weeks after starting with ProServe in 2008, I was sent to Chicago to do a final PoC for HSBC. Someone else had done a PoC…

In similar fashion to what I wrote about for OS X last year, and spurred by this article from Microsoft, here is my brief guide for doing the same on Windows 10. Click your Notifications button near the clock. Now click All Settings And you’ll see this Click Personalization, then Lock Screen. Select “Slideshow” from the…
