I love how moving text between Teams and any other MS application (or Teams' own Word/Excel/web view) fucks up the formatting in new and exciting ways. It's great to hunt for one lone line formatted with SegoeUI (?) font amid dozens of Calibri ones, sometimes it's easier because it shows up also as light blue on dark mode in Outlook and nobody has any clue why is that happening

cowboy beepboop posted:there should be a windows sidebar that is just a history of your pastes and lets you toggle formatting on/off nah a toggle is unnecessary. but the shortcuts should be reversed imo. i.e., ctrl-shift-v should paste with formatting and ctrl-v should paste without rather than the other way around

tbf apps changing settings programmatically and/or ui patterns where stuff pops up "let me just do x" over and over until you accidentally accept and they go "ok never asking again no take-backs" are a scourge. as it happens edge loving loves doing that too, but i'll accept any limits even if inconsistently applied.

i mean, no, it isn't, because edge cannot open and render some of the pdfs they need to use so in terms of "here we've reset you to a tool that literally cannot open your files for the fourth time today", it's actually quite bad

tbh i too care a fair bit about rendering accuracy for pdfs, so it is not a bad deal for me, but i expect it'll be obnoxious clunk for 99% of users

I found the registry setting to turn off the stupid Bing button on the desktop version of edge, but I also use it on my phone and the most recent update replaced the new tab button in the bottom center with another loving Bing button and there's no registry hack for this one. I have been a big fan of edge for a while, but it's looking like I may have to switch to Firefox again. I hope they fix their zooming problem.

also its funny to me that there are "acceptable" rendering differences across pdf engines at all really. the whole point of the format is consistent output regardless of device

i am janitoring a laptop i haven't used in a real long time and i apparently obliterated the EFI boot entry for windows (it doesn't show up at all in the bios menu) so i've been booting it by typing in "fs0:\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi" on startup every time, but that's getting annoying as poo poo. how do i add it back? afaict the recovery console isn't able to find anything wrong because it can boot successfully
