Israel has dropped almost 30,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 100 days, eight times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.

Horrific scenes from Al Nasr hospital in Gaza which was forcibly evacuated by IDF. Staff & parents weren't allowed to take the babies out of incubators, and now return to find their tiny decomposing bodies, still in the incubators.

Microsoft Teams is an abomination of a product.

The only reason companies use it is because it's included with an Office 365 subscription.

I'm not convinced that even a single designer ever worked on it
