AI Thread Summary

When looking to purchase a home stereo system for under $200, especially used from a pawn shop, focus on several key factors. Prioritize sound clarity and volume capability, ensuring the system can deliver loud audio without distortion. Check for the condition of components like speakers and amplifiers, as these significantly impact performance. Consider systems with a good reputation for durability and sound quality, and look for features such as multiple input options and compatibility with various audio sources. While new boomboxes can be found in this price range, a well-maintained used stereo may offer superior sound quality and performance.

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
