I hate with outlook how inevitably I often end up searching through massive threads and because one email had a word every copy of the thread will come up and it's impossible to determine why. (Also if an attachment is a hit I don't think it will even tell you that or which one it is which is absolutely infuriating.) On the other hand the way gmail shows previews when you search is actually pretty half-assed too. It seems like google has kind of killed progress in a Microsoft-ish fashion where once gmail dominated the market they stopped bothering to improve it and nobody can compete with it so email will never improve ever again (if there's actual competition they'll probably buy it and kill it). My other complaint with both of them is that it's way to inconvenient to create tasks for yourself based on emails. In gmail I sometimes use the completely idiotic method of assigning labels based on days of the week just because it's so much faster than other methods of keeping track of stuff. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Dec 1, 2021 |

Well for one thing I'm not quite crazy enough to use a ticket system for my personal email, not would responding to myself be likely to get a ticket opened

I like that you can apparently now use Teams for personal use like some sort of skype replacement, as if that is something anyone in their right mind would want to do.

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i mean, generally i cannot imagine a situation where "oh yeah, install windows 11, just don't create a microsoft account" doesn't add up to awful advice. microsoft has a lot of nonsense going on in windows 10/11, all very legit to be upset about and switch away over, but given that you don't escape that poo poo anyway local accounts were already bordering on a misfeature and it'd for sure only get worse over time. If you use a microsoft account you can reset the password, but on the other hand.... I'm not entirely convinced it isn't better for most non-technical people to just not have a password on their account for a computer that they just keep at home (since it's not like it can be accessed remotely anyway)? Forcing everyone to use drive encryption and storing the key in the microsoft account I guess is a higher default level of security, but like I'm not sure I want my extremely elderly grandfather to have to use a password/pin/fingerprint to log into his computer that has nothing on it and never leaves his home since I'm literally not sure he'll be able to handle that? They've already made it hard to install windows without a microsoft account so I'm not sure there's much point to actively make it impossible? mystes fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Feb 21, 2022 |

tk posted:Did you just advise a no-password setup and then double down on that being a security advantage? The advantage is that they aren't going to get locked out. I never said it was a "security" advantage (I didn't say that and neither did the question I was responding to). If you disagree please feel free to explain what additional security is provided by an account password in this scenario (you think it's going to make UAC more secure? you think that someone's going to break into their house and have physical access to the computer but not be able to insert a usb drive to reset the password?).
