Her name was Siri, she had to change it 

It was annoying enough when colleagues or friends couldn't greet her with "Hey Siri" without setting off their phone's assistant, but the latest changes to iOS has made it even worse. Now you don't need to say the "Hey", which has forced 26-year-old Siri Price to change her name. She now goes by "Siz". She says she loved the name Siri because it means “beautiful woman who leads you to victory”. For Apple, it means “Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface”.



Microsoft Teams is going to be significantly faster

It's been completely rebuilt and is said to be 2x faster than the current version and uses half the memory - which is great news because Teams really dragged down your computer's performance. "Classic Teams" will stick around for a bit, but all new features will be added only to the new Teams moving forward. For those who use new Apple desktops and laptops - it'll also work natively with Apple Silicon. It'll be a slow rollout until December when it'll become the default in Enterprise plans.
