but like what does an executive think when they go to their own site on their phone and the whole screen is four layers of popups and an autoplaying video and you can't actually see the content? I would love to watch a dozen news executives try to use the sites they're in charge of

I would love to watch a dozen news executives try to use the sites they're in charge of the station i worked at was owned by hearst. all of their stations' sites have the exact same layout, so they'd really only complain when something seriously broke (either layout or editorial guidelines), which was rare since things were usually just published via a cms with very little control over how a page looks (and of course i never tried to inject js or css or whatever into an article) i worked on the news/media production side instead of IT so i never really had to deal with them directly, but i got the sense that pretty much nobody at the company (outside of the station) ever bothered to check it

lol ms is doing "oh no we're just smol bean getting beat up after losing infinity dollars trying to completely take over console gaming for 20 years"quote:Part of Microsoft's current legal strategy is demonstrating the domineering lead PlayStation and Nintendo have established in the gaming industry. Xbox entered the market in 2001, and according to Microsoft's own documentation, their consoles have been outperformed by Nintendo and Sony by a "significant margin." Despite hard-fought success in the Xbox 360 generation and notable financial gain in recent quarters, Xbox claims it's never stopped "losing the console wars."

the endgame is obviously to make gamepass important enough to muscle a ridiculous revenue share out of sony, nintendo, apple and google where they get all the money but none of the responsibility of managing the platforms but they're all "look, calloduty!" while jangling their keys and hoping it works [it still might]

qirex posted:I am confident I will eventually play starfield on my ps5 i have a ps3 + a bunch of games that my brother gave me when they upgraded & i still havent gotten it running because man setting up stuff its such a chore every time i want to try its a new problem (finding the right adapters, batteries for remotes, all the cables, then the loving projector remote is apparently dead even with new batteries, oh but the unit has buttons on top, but it also has a whole harness thing bolted to the bottom so i can only set it upside down, and the bolts are loving pin-in-hex but i only have regular hex here. so maybe this old rear end dell monitor works, no it cant handle the resolution or something, etc, etc, etc)

i haven't looked at anything about starfield but do we know if it's going to have that awful conversation view where a portrait of a face in the perfect center of the screen bores its dead-rear end eyes directly into the camera? that poo poo sucks imo

Why does Microsoft make it so hard to get a download link for OneDrive? I'm trying to share a 300MB CSV (lol) over email and it sends a link that tries to open up in Excel and then just says "Sorry, this is over 100MB. You can close the tab now." Very helpful

there's a browser setting that will try to automatically open office documents in edge, possibly others. dump the file in its own folder and share a link to the folder, then you should be able to select the download option for the one file

no worries, none of this poo poo works well or intuitively and much of my average of my day is coming up with stupid workarounds for stupid workflow issues also, they change the interface loving weekly, so even if you find something that works for what you need, it'll be different in a month

the last time i used mine was maybe six months ago and it prompted me to sign in three or four times, no idea if it would have succeeded because there's no way i'm going through god knows how many steps to reset the password for the account it turns out i can just switch the ps3 back off and go do something less immediately frustrating
