Firefox is the only browser that gives me reliable sound output on Microsoft Teams meetings it crackles and pops on both chome and chedge, i think because the audio buffer is too short. wtf microsoft

it feels way more gross when microsoft does it for some reason like when they made microsoft accounts mandatory for windows 11 home installations and all the "hey, can we pretty please spy on you?" prompts when you set up your new computer and after every windows update (unless you find the button that stops it buried in the notification settings) and all the crapware you didn't ask for from the windows store that you have to uninstall

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

I'm shocked by how much I hate Teams now that I have to use it on a daily basis I'd rather have separate apps for meetings, chat and document collaboration than one giant piece of poo poo that tries to do everything badly

goddammit microsoft you had one job![]() if this is the microsoft quality in 2023 i might as well install linux to launch my steam games i bet it's because i tried to install the windows 11 pro n edition without all the bundled crapware the internet is also entire unhelpful about what causes this, and the log files in the error message are useless

Most games are linked against an older directx runtime to be compatible with older windowses and steam silently installs any missing runtimes for you, in this case it would just silently fail and the game would die with various forms of "directx is missing" messages. The log file just had a bunch of lines with "dxblah.dll is already installed" and then it would suddenly stop with no error. I noticed the entire xbox game bar stuff is ripped out of windows 11 n so maybe they screwed up something important I've already begrudgingly switched to the crapware version and now it works fine ![]() ugh

Hardly anyone ever dares turn that on where I work because documents end up getting sent out without stripping the change tracking history so that the recipient can read all the comments, recover deleted text and so on.

I wonder if we're already at the point where microsoft product managers are mandating all new code should be AI generated to "increase code quality" It sure feels that way.

my workplace disabled macros sitewide because it was completely impossible to keep on top of all the social engineering attempts coming in through email, and it was decided to be the lesser evil. If someone has a desperate need to run macros they have to figure out how to sign their documents and get their macro signature allowed. my favorite macro malware has to be this one ![]() r u ready to WALK fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Aug 22, 2023 |

going against microsofts wishes is the only thing about windows that still gives me any modicum of joy bypassing the mandatory microsoft account with shift-f10 and the OOBE\BYPASSNRO trick replacing chedge, uninstalling all the bundled "modern" apps, setting the password hint for the local user to "gently caress you microsoft" that kind of thing

the worst part about about all these failed ms crapware products is that they bundle all of them in the enterprise ms365 subscription so you are guaranteed to have someone in your organization trying to force you to use them all to get "value" out of their giant ms cloud bill

A screen that can see and react to everything that is placed on it using an infrared camera is a neat concept and I'm surprised it hasn't really been tried by anyone else, I'm guessing microsoft is sitting on all the patents for it. Maybe it would have been more successful if they hadn't launched it with a $10k price tag at the peak of the 2008 financial crisis. All the new surfaces can only detect fingers and pens so they are clearly inferior products.
