Just tried building a Azure Static Web App and Functions. Excellent work by the @AzureStaticApps team - it is nice, clean dev experience. Great way for anyone to put together a quick web site at no cost.

Discovered a great, inexpensive Chinese restaurant aptly named “So Tasty”. Just behind Crossroads Mall. The vegetables with garlic are great. Best fried chicken on the east side. Probably the best egg tarts we’ve ever had. Highly recommended. sotastyusa.com

Seems I struck a nerve on this one. 😀
A few takeaways after reading all the responses.. 🧵

IT just rolled out a mandatory VPN across all iOS devices and I’m debating what to do.
The security risks are real, but intercepting all network traffic on my phone/tablet is crossing a new privacy line. If I unenroll it my productivity will tank with no email access.

.@Comcast does not implement BGP safely. Check out isbgpsafeyet.com to see if your ISP implements BGP in a safe way or if it leaves the Internet vulnerable.

Bringing this country back together depends not only on safeguarding against tech’s potential as a weapon, but on capitalizing on its phenomenal potential as a tool. @BradSmi on @TheDailyShow. #ToolsandWeapons

A great portion of us will need #assistivetech at some point in our lives. And while #Windows 10 introduced countless accessibility features, people often don’t know these functions are there. The future, @hminto tells us, depends on awareness. @guardian

30 years ago, 2 boys invented a writing system for a centuries-old language without an alphabet. Through their perseverance, and assistance from #Microsoft, they got it encoded onto computers – helping an ancient people write its story. Inspiring stuff.

So exciting to get a first look at @minecraftearth. Using #Azure’s new spatial anchors, the game’s inviting players to the intermediary space where lines between the digital world and meatspace are blurred.

#3Dprinting is changing manufacturing. Great new story on the #DevBlog about the recent collaboration between @Microsoft and @Moog_Industrial – how the two built a solution using blockchain to securely transfer blueprints and verify data integrity

“Whether it’s our pursuit of quantum computing or it’s a pursuit of A.G.I., I think you need these high-ambition North Stars.” Inspiring that we keep setting our sights on the ‘impossible.' @nytimes' piece on @Microsoft’s $1 billion investment in @OpenAI

Devices like #HoloLens are revolutionising the workplace – putting high-tech tools into the hands of frontline workers to assist in training, scheduling and regular communications. Great article from the @nytimes explains how @Microsoft is leading the way

When it comes to being a socially responsible company, we can be both well-meaning and simultaneously self-serving. A great interview with #Microsoft's @BradSmi on @FortuneMagazine
