Yesterday I noticed the same &#8211; I tried to join a call hosted by Microsoft and the Skype for Business Web App launched, rather that the Lync client installed on my PC. It turns out that this behaviour is driven by the\u00a0default browser: mine is Chrome and my colleague was also using something that&#8217;s not IE. Quite why I&#8217;d not seen this before, I don&#8217;t know (unless it&#8217;s related to a recent update) but for internal Lync meetings I do tend to use the Join Online button in the meeting reminder &#8211; that doesn&#8217;t seem to appear for external meetings. Of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.technet.com\/b\/messaging_with_communications\/archive\/2012\/06\/05\/forcing-use-of-lync-web-app-to-join-a-conference.aspx\">you can also control which client is used by editing the URL<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Using Bitlocker on drives without TPM<\/h3>\n<p>When my wife asked me to encrypt the hard drive on her PC, I was pleased to be able to say &#8220;no need to buy anything, we can use Bitlocker &#8211; it&#8217;s built into Windows&#8221;. Unfortunately, when I tried to enable it, I found that her PC doesn&#8217;t have a trusted platform module (TPM) chip. I was pretty sure I&#8217;d worked around that in the past, with a netbook that I used to run Windows 7 on and, sure enough, found <a href=\"http:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/howto\/6229\/how-to-use-bitlocker-on-drives-without-tpm\/\">a How To Geek article on How To Use BitLocker on Drives without TPM<\/a>. It&#8217;s been a while since I had to dive into the Local Computer Policy but a simple tweak to the &#8220;Require additional authentication at startup&#8221; item under Computer Configuration\\Administrative Templates\\Windows Components\\Bit Locker Drive Encryption\\Operating System Drives was all it took to let Windows encrypt the drive.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding my files in Finder<\/h3>\n<p>One of the challenges I have with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.markwilson.co.uk\/blog\/2014\/11\/deja-vu-buying-and-upgrading-another-mac-mini.htm\">the Mac I bought a few months ago<\/a>, is that modern versions of OS X seem to want to hide things from me. I&#8217;m a &#8220;browse the hard drive to find my files&#8221; kind of guy, and it took a tweak to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dummies.com\/how-to\/content\/setting-os-x-yosemite-finder-preferences.html\">Finder preferences<\/a> to show my Hard Disk and bring back the shortcut\u00a0to Pictures.<\/p>\n<h3>MyFitnessPal streak ends &#8211; counter reset<\/h3>\n<p>Last\u00a0weekend some connectivity issues, combined with staying away with friends meant I missed the cut-off for logging my food\/exercise with MyFitnessPal and my &#8220;streak&#8221; was reset (i.e. the login counter). Knowing that I&#8217;ve been logging activity for a certain number of days is a surprisingly motivational piece of information but it turns out <a href=\"http:\/\/myfitnesspal.desk.com\/customer\/portal\/articles\/94191-my-login-days-in-a-row-counter-is-incorrect-how-do-i-fix-this-\">you can get it reset<\/a> using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfitnesspal.com\/account\/login_counter_reset_request\">the counter reset tool<\/a> (which even predicted how many days the value should be &#8211;
