some of it must still be translated by hand because the norwegian teams web client has said "Del Vindum" instead of "Del Vindu" for months now, which translates back to "Share Windumb" it makes my day a little better every time i have to share something on a teams meeting and see that the typo is still there

its probably a mix of using it to fix technical bugs and crashes, but then totally ignoring failures in the UI because that design is what the product manager wants and the user doesnt matter

long after microsoft ceased to have any credible competition they still developed their product in a manner befitting an august megacorp of old so you'd have actual human employees doing QA and you'd have at least some documentation and you'd also have professional translators for a hundred languages then the loving googleoids came along and so did the other companies in the big tech bazinga brigade and now well you'll eat whatever rancid poo poo squirts out of big tech's rear end in a top hat because what else are you going to do. ... hiyo! hey buddy we know you're busy but would you like to take a survey??? the PM really really wants to take some numbers to his boss to demonstrate that he deserves a bonus and a promotion, please understand

infernal machines posted:well good news! they just added their chatgpt engine to it! oh you weren't kidding quote:We’ve been inspired by people’s stories of how they are using the new Bing. For example, a first-generation grad student from a developing country shared how the new Bing gives him access to information and resources that were previously inaccessible and difficult to find. Stories like these energize and inspire us. With the new Bing in the Windows taskbar, you will be more empowered to harness the world’s information. that's not even a story

also, lmao at the latest edge update just completely resetting my customized new tab page to show their bullshit news feed. gg shitheads, i'm sure that wasn't turned off for a reason. bonus, after resetting the settings for the new tab page, it popped up the consent dialog you get after every single update asking if i'd like to reset all my other settings to microsoft defaults, since edge isn't my default browser and bing isn't the search provider.
