you can sign in to just the app store if you really want as well although I have to give MS props for letting you get free stuff from the windows store without having to have an account at all (until now, probably)

this is a really basic bitch but why the gently caress does it include the name and timestamp when I try to copy a snippet of text from a chat message. nobody has ever wanted that part tagged onto their clipboard like it's an online encyclopedia website plus it breaks paths and stuff

Chris Knight posted:my fave is the way Teams will just add parameters to URLs that you click on, leading people to embed those parameters into our web pages. I do have to LOL whenever I see a link where the actual HREF is urldefense.proofpoint.com but sounds like your headset isn't Teams Certified

cowboy beepboop posted:music from the 60s or whatever when stereo was first recorded and the artists went overboard infuriates me. yes i want to only listen to the guitar with one ear, great job. oh now you're switching ti between ears rapidly? wow thanks! also didn't they do some stuff where they would take previously-mono recordings and pan random tracks left and right and reissue it as a stereo record? anyway about 20 years ago I had one of my stereo speakers hooked up with 20m of wire so I could drag it from the computer room into the middle of the house and play music. mono mode was useful!

Cold on a Cob posted:i wish there was a way to permanently disable "headset" mode on my headphones because it's broken as hell is that a bluetooth headset that has both speaker profile and handsfree profile? if so, in the new (Metro-style) control panel go into sound -> manage sound devices. disable the input and output devices that are the handsfree ones.

glad to hear it! I'm a big idiot who has a music headset and a meetings headset so I know the pain. (plus, windows has decided to stop connecting to my music headset when it turns on. I have to go into settings and press connect. un-pairing and re-pairing didn't fix it. thanks, windows.)

I bet users were complaining that "my PC feels slow" and looking at the power profile and claiming that their CPU was at 0%. (Of course their PC probably was slow as poo poo, but it was due to bloatware and the fans caked with dust.)

Today I got sick of the 00s style chat bubbles in MS Teams so I switched it to Compact style. Christ, it's ugly as sin! Didn't want to maybe look at how Discord does it, huh?
