Canine Blues Arooo posted:Outlook on Web is fine if you are working with, and only with emails. As you start to leverage more and more features of the client though, the web app falls behind badly. The calendar is a perfect example of this, where it seems like it would do most of the things on the surface, but you see fewer details about the meeting, who's attending, mailing lists. etc. If you want to schedule meetings, the scheduling assistant is inferior in feature and interface. As you dig further into this, there are bits of information just missing in places they used to be. The further you leave the 'most core feature set' of the software, the more you end up missing the desktop version of Outlook. I think things like what I describe are the most frustrating examples of this. I don't see why setting the default reminder setting to "none" would be difficult, and it's baffling that they continue to refuse to enable it. If I want a reminder I will set one - don't force the drat things on me. Even if the default is still "remind me 15 minutes before the event" let me change that in the customization options to zero instead of the current set of hours or days it allows. Edit: In my normal work week I have around 6 calendar entries per day. The number of clicks each one requires balloons because they won't let me set the default for reminders to "none." It means I have to edit every single entry I make, or I get flooded with notifications. This is true even if I am entering things that occurred in the past, as it will pop up notifications for them once they are saved regardless. The ratio of calendar entries where I actually want a reminder is steep, like a 100:1 in favor of not wanting reminders. This is just garbage UI design that seems pointless and vaguely malicious.

Reminds me that I'm still waiting for OneNote to get the core feature back of deleting notebooks. (I have a dozen or so notebooks that are still accessible, still need to be deleted, and still show up every single time, but because they predate stuffing every notebook into onedrive as a file, they're all permanently there and won't generate new files. And they just will not loving go away.)

Vintersorg posted:Any fixes for this printer issue? To be affected by the print spool vulnerability, the attacker needs a valid authentication for that system (ie user+password). I think leaving print spoolers enabled on people's desktops isn't glaringly insecure if your network / the rest of your stuff is following all the correct practices (you have a firewall etc).

IIRC two years ago (when they announced restarting of Classic OneNote updates) they mentioned something about a big canvas update. https://www.theverge.com/2019/11/7/20953691/microsoft-onenote-to-do-integration-fluid-framework-future-features-ignite-2019. But all that is either cancelled or severely delayed for some reason.

I thought Xamarin was nearly there to be honest, if they would have just added the XAML editor from VS to it, it would have been a nice way of creating cross platform apps. That they wrote Teams in Electron should tell you everything I guess.

It helps that the VS Code devs know when JavaScript won't cut it and they need to drop back to native code, e.g. the search engine is written in Rust

Is it possible to make a taskbar icon open a menu instead of just launching an app? I'd like to have one icon visible that I can hit to access a quick list of shortcuts rather than having to pin 20 things directly to the bar or deal with digging around in the start menu for them e: making it a toolbar kinda works but it's in the wrong place and the target to actually click to open the menu is tiny, and it won't let me move it

I'd like to have one icon visible that I can hit to access a quick list of shortcuts rather than having to pin 20 things directly to the bar or deal with digging around in the start menu for them There are apps that can do that -- display a list of shortcuts in a simple menu. A popular one is 7stacks. I used to really like one called ShortPopUp, because it was just a simple menu and wasn't constantly-running program like 7stacks. But something changed with Win10 that it really doesn't like. On 7 it was instant, on 10 it grinds for 10 seconds before opening. But in looking at a current list of similar stuff, the one that leaps out at me is Stacky. That looks to do the same thing as shortpopup, albeit with fewer options. I wish I'd seen that before now. I ended up writing my own custom ahk program to replace shortpopup like 5 years ago when I switched to 10.

Stacky looks neat and basic. I've been using PStart for ages to launch things or organize little task clusters. It doesn't live on a taskbar, it's a floating/movable launcher and/or system tray menu. It's old (designed to launch portable apps from a USB drive) and 32 bit, but it's free and still works in W10.

repiv posted:In general you can type tpm.msc in the start menu to see if you have TPM available (and which version) but a board that old probably doesn't have it built in  Dumb question but does that mean I have TPM 2.0? I am surprised to see that if that's the case because my computer is the ThinkPad 25th Anniversary laptop from 2017 and I was 100% sure that it had TPM 1.2, not 2.0. It's a 7th gen Intel processor (7500U) which I thought were all TPM 1.2. Even if I pass TPM it looks like my CPU is technically too old to run Windows 11 according to Microsoft, even though I jammed 64 GB of RAM in this thing a few months ago.

Yeah that's TPM 2.0 If it's a firmware TPM it's possible it shipped with TPM 1.2 and a BIOS update (which may have been delivered through Windows Update on an OEM system) updated it to TPM 2.0

uh, i should have TPM (Ryzen 3300X, very modern chip) but when i do that diagnosis it says i don't have TPM. i remember i had to gently caress around with some settings to get the bios to detect my SSD when i installed it, could i have set it wrong?

It's probably disabled in the BIOS On Ryzen systems the toggle is usually called fTPM

As far as I'm aware the list is just those CPUs that have TPM 2.0 built in, systems with external TPM or chipset-based TPM will also work officially, and there will also be bypasses for OEMs that will inevitably leak to the rest of us.

I'm hoping Windows 11 will continue the Microsoft tradition of typically running better on older systems, rather than be a resource hog. I always liked how upgrading a computer to the latest Windows typically made it run faster, unlike OSX which usually ran shittier on older hardware.

MikusR posted:Source? Official messaging is that those are the only CPUs that will have support for 11. At best they might add gen7 Intel. It's not only TPM but also other cpu features. And that list is most definitely being pushed by the OEMs to sell new systems. Are you referring to these lists? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-intel-processors Check out the same lists for Windows 10 20H2: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-20h2-supported-amd-processors https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-20h2-supported-intel-processors Notice how nothing before 5th-gen Intel is listed? Yet I'm sure most of us have at least one and possibly an entire fleet of machines from the Sandy Bridge through Haswell time period that still work perfectly fine. Those lists are for OEMs. They're under the Windows Hardware Developer documentation, and specify what processors OEMs are allowed to use in systems shipping with Windows 11. They have those same lists going back to Windows 7 all linked from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/windows-processor-requirements quote:This specification details the processors that can be used with Customer Systems that include Windows Products (including Custom Images). Updates to this specification may be released in the future as requirements change. This list is not a minimum requirements, they aren't allowed to use anything new that hasn't been listed even if it's in the same family: quote:If after the inclusion of a processor series in this specification ("Listed Processor"), a processor becomes commercially available that uses the same naming convention or identifier as a Listed Processor but has additional or different features or functionality ("New Processor"), Company must not use New Processor for Customer Systems without Microsoft's prior written permission.

I'm setting up some laptops for work, haven't had one myself for years. Do Windows 10 laptops wake from sleep and do things when they're closed and unplugged? We're going to be storing them in laptop bags and sharing them among people of varied degrees of technical prowess, who may simply close them after use and walk away. I don't want any fires or destroyed boards or other bullshit.
