Our security product lead @iLanas recently sat down with Silicon Republic for their Career Close-up series with @IDAIRELAND to share her career journey as an engineer @Microsoft & how she’s helping to shape our Secure Future Initiative.

He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.

He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.

But at least he's not a Black woman.

A wonderful vote of confidence in what we’ve created in our Microsoft Ireland community.

Thrilled to be joined by Taoiseach @SimonHarrisTD & Michael Lohan from @IDAIreland as we announced a critical investment in our Irish operations & the creation of 550 AI roles in engineering & R&D.

Unexpectedly utilised a new swear-word-replacement when driving with the kids yesterday.

“Oh, nice indication, you…former president.”

@VodafoneIreland I don’t need assistance. My issue was resolved by a manager.

Your staff need re-training so they’re not making your customers unsafe. Canned responses don’t give me confidence that will occur.

[Ilana Smith @ilanas]

I went into a @VodafoneIreland store today to get help with a malfunctioning SIM. When I wouldn’t let him take my UNLOCKED phone out of my sight, the store employee chucked a tantrum and refused to help me. Vodafone: is it your policy to foster unsafe digital security practices?

[Ilana Smith @ilanas]

@VodafoneIreland Hi Yugien - thank you for the canned response irrelevant to my stated issue. Please escalate this major problem appropriately. You’re making your customers less safe.

[Ilana Smith @ilanas]

(Luckily the store manager was amazing and she solved my problem in my full sight. Retraining opportunity?)

I don’t usually eat breakfast but I’ve had Vegemite on toast the last three mornings and it’s really so delicious that I’m freshly sad for anyone who isn’t Australian.

@theminihaha @RobLooseCannon Pretty sure @RobLooseCannon did a previous thread about Leopardstown originally being Lepers Town so…small mercies.

Hey @TMobile, I got both of these messages at the same time last week from two different messages. Help a traveler out.

My 10yo (accurately) accused my 7yo of weaponised incompetence, so I’m all done here as a parent.

If you’re looking for people to block, any commenters supporting this is a good place to start.

Kids disclose to adults when they feel it is safe to do so.

@sbisson I think I needed the characters to be more interesting or more funny to carry the lack of plot and tension.

[Ilana Smith @ilanas]

@sbisson I struggled with Legends and Lattes. I get the whole cosy fantasy thing but I thought it was….boring?
