A smartphone is everybody’s companion today. About two months ago I switched from Windows Phone to Apple iPhone. This article is my personal synopsis.after a short period of using the iPhone. My history Before, I had a Microsoft Lumia 950 for about one year. My personal smartphone history started with Windows Mobile, iPhone 3, 4 and 4s followed by Windows Phone 8, 8.1 and 10. I was satisfied with Lumia 1020 (mostly because of the good camera) and with the cool Lumia 950. ...

And now for something completely different: Recently, I stumbled upon the article at qz.com: Your old laptop can live again for the cost of a USB drive. The idea is to boot the free Debian “Pixel” OS from an USB stick and to work in that slim and fast environment. So I tried it out!

PowerApps is licensed in the Office 365 environment and offers three license plans: PowerApps for Office 365 and Dynamics 365, PowerApps Plan 1 and PowerApps Plan 2. Since it often is not clear, if end users who want to use (and not create) a PowerApps app need a license or how licensing works with data sources, I want to inform about licenses, show some samples and clarify that topic here. ...

PowerApps are a great way to accomplish simple tasks by end users. A new PowerApp is usually done in minutes (if the underlying data source is existing and working). Nevertheless, it often takes much more time to polish the app and to find and modify details. So I decided to post from time to time some tips when stumbling upon any topics in PowerApps. A driver’s log I wanted to use a very simple custom SharePoint Online list to allow colleagues to log their travels with a company car. At every destination, the user shall simply protocol his location and the mileage, and optional some information about the customer or the appointment. Very little fields, just to keep it handy. ...
