for needing to touch ad at all, yeah

they also really arbitrarily renamed all the sub menus and moved just about everything into almost entirely nonsensical new categories, so enjoy that too, i guess

i need a comically oversized mallet that i can write "unskippable popups, toasts, and tool tips do not solve the problem of reorganizing the interface every three weeks" on before stalking through redmond, mercilessly beating product managers with it

ok but they do solve the problem of getting product managers a throbbing, glistening, veiny bonus though

so who is to say if it's bad or not

oh you clicked join meeting from the outlook notification but teams wasn't open

so what you wanted was for teams to violently flash between a white window and another darker window with a corporate memphis hipster shrugging his bearded axe-throwing shoulders about a fucky wucky with your login, right?

right?

oh we're gonna keep doing this too, forever

ERM... Actually I have stellar scores on the surveys, and every year students tell me that my classes are the best ones they’ve ever taken.
my computer suddenly started running like crap out of nowhere.

turns out word silently updated itself in the background to install this AI horseshit they're slinging. it also opened 150 new documents, each one of which had an undismissable bugged out "accept our ai terms of use" dialog attached.



i couldn't find it at first because word also moved itself to an alternate desktop workspace or whatever, even though i literally never use that feature.

there is no "get hosed" big enough.
