only bonus is if you have an educational account

i'm not an active student anywhere, but i get office 365 for free that way, and i also got my windows 10/11 licenses that way. supposedly the education edition is pro (and has some disabled analytics i guess?) but i converted it to pro workstation, the procedure is absurdly easy. once you do that the license then gets tied to the account and you can use it on any machine to activate so it is actually pretty useful imo

e: to be clear you can change editions without paying anything

the family version of office 365 is pretty decent (multiple installs and 1T onedrive for each of multiple users) especially if you wait to get it when there's a discount

also since microsoft is actively developing office to some degree again it's harder to use old versions unless you're just creating documents for your own purposes in which case you can probably just use the free online version or something

If I search a chat in Teams, it will find the result in the list. If I click the result to go to the context, it just dumps me in the middle of the chat. My term/match isn't highlighted, and i'm pretty sure it's not in view. Maybe this is because I have compact mode on?

anyway, what a pos

I do like that a lot of advice about css is just give every component a unique or semi unique class name since the cascading part adds too much poo poo to deal with.

my favorite part of ~web development~ is when you have to use some 3rd party library and they use classes for both assigning styles and targeting elements to be used with javascript. so if you want to strip out the css so you can change how it looks you have to play the "is this class just for styles or is it required for functionality" game. it's extra fun when the answer is "both"

My rule of thumb when I was in the frontend mines was to use classes for styling and ids for javascript. If I needed a collection of elements in js, I'd use a data- attribute.

Teams does something super fucky with older messages, it either outright removes them or makes them "just there", they show up in the search results so you know they haven't been removed, but good luck finding them. Extra annoying with randomly disappearing date/time signatures because who tf would searches through chat, a placr where a ton of current info is exchanged daily, right???

This is a silly post with little news value.

does the search in Teams just not look at the filename of poo poo people have linked?

like I can see the file in Sharepoint, it's called "Requirements v1.5 final version updated.docx" or whatever.
search Teams for that and it returns zero results. but search for random words that I think the PM probably used when sharing the link and there it is - one message found in one of the dozen different project chat groups.

search searching for a file based on the file name would be entirely too straightforward and functional for a microsoft product
