Updates/upgrades to an operating system is usually something to look forward to, but in the case of Microsoft Office users on Mac computers, it seems that Microsoft is asking those users to skip on the macOS High Sierra update which is largely expected to be released in the next couple of months.
This isn’t so much to do with Microsoft’s rivalry with Apple, but rather it seems that Microsoft has yet to get around to testing their Office suite of apps on the latest macOS update, which means that there is a chance that some of the Office apps might not work properly after users update to macOS High Sierra.
According to Microsoft’s support page, “Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Lync have not been tested on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and no formal support for this configuration will be provided.” Note that this only seems to apply to the 2011 version of Office for Mac, so if you are running a newer version like Office 2016 then you should be fine.
However Microsoft does mention that there could be some issues, such as apps unexpectedly quitting. “Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote will install and run on 10.13. Not all Office functionality may be available, and you may encounter stability problems where apps unexpectedly quit.”

#IFA2017 – Thanks to Amazon making Alexa almost immediately available to third-party developers right out of the door, it has helped spur the creation of a host of devices that are integrating Alexa support into them, such as speakers, smartphones, and even headphones, which is the case for Bragi.
During IFA 2017, the company announced that their Bragi Dash headphones will be getting a software update later this year which will introduce Amazon Alexa integration into them. Basically what this means is that using the headphones and the built-in microphone, users will be able to activate Alexa via voice commands and have access to the thousands of Alexa skills that are currently available, such as being able to control certain smart home devices, calling for an Uber, ordering a pizza, asking for the news or weather, and so on.
Bragi’s headphones are definitely not the first set of headphones to receive Alexa integration, but it definitely seems to be pointing towards a trend in which we are starting to see more headphone makers try to make their headphones more functional beyond just being able to playback audio.
In fact recent reports have even suggested that Google could be making their own pair of headphones that will feature Google Assistant integration, although whether or not the reports are true remains to be seen.
