has software like malware bytes started correctly identifying edge as malware? I bet they don’/won’t, but they should.

I had to go back to old office for Mac LTSc when I got a new job and it sucks poo poo compared to “new outlook” or w/e. I want to sit down and chat with the dev who decided that command + return would be a shortcut to send an email you’re drafting.

Dec 31, 2004

well usually when writing something, I’m using return to make a new line and sometimes I’m copying and pasting into the email via keyboard shortcuts that also use command + whatever.

sometimes I don’t let go of command at the right time because I’m hosed up I guess and I make mistakes? but I don’t think that should mean a half finished email should get sent.

thankfully many people had this issue with old outlook and there’s a weird fix


https://superuser.com/questions/453516/how-do-i-disable-commandenter-sending-e-mail-in-outlook-2011-for-mac

and I think this shortcut is changed or removed in new outlook? it just didn’t happen in new outlook for me as far as I remember

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.

i wonder if someone sales or product dweeb wanted a custom keyboard key that could launch linked in like calc or browser, but the devs said no thats stupid and the "compromise" was an arcane shortcut that no human would use but could be easily macroed in hardware on a keyboard

my favorite feature of teams is the thing that steals focus when I type a message to a coworker and asks me for feedback. while stopping me from typing a message. it’s almost poetic.

thats not teams thats just microsoft, everything theyve ever made does that. youre just typing away and some random background app comes to the front youre typing here now thank you for the return key sent to your boss

yeah but this isn’t a background app stealing focus, it’s a blue bubble/modal within teams itself stealing focus

I love that Microsoft outlook thinks I’m misspelling the last name of the doctor I’m emailing in the body of the email.

I swear to god spell check used to be smarter and would ignore names if it was in something like:

Hi Dr. [Last Name],

not to mention the name is in the “to:” field itself
