microsoft is not included in any lists of good stuff. ergo vis a vis it is epic and for the win - professor genius

incredibly bad take to suggest that facebook, amazon, apple and google (labor rights violations and surveillance out the wazoo) are "good stuff"

netflix is pretty neutral i guess

they just added carplay support to teams in case there was one place in the world you could avoid thinking about work

“Oh sorry Teams doesn’t have an airplay app” has never been an excuse to not take a meeting in the car. People have Bluetooth and do it all the time and they’re fumbling around and it’s a mess.

The idea that you have an meeting so important that you need to call in to it but also so unimportant that you can pay enough attention to drive is fairly questionable.

it's awful but i think what's "wrong" with them is they're not independently wealthy and getting fired might just cause some financial stress

I had an automatic gag reflex for all Microsoft stuff due to my experience with them back when they were the big evil. now that they are a boring enterprise software company I’ve tried to get over my disdain for them.

then work gave me a windows laptop with the Microsoft suite of apps and goddamn, it is a burning pile of poo poo.

I try to avoid microsoft as much as possible but I have to use teams at work and its a pile of poo poo.
It always forgets my audio settings, it should use my Logitech headset like zoom manages to do

i’m installing windows for the first time in loving years, at least since windows 7


gently caress it’s embarrassing. choosing “offline account”, and then your next choice is a “limited experience” if I don’t want some other bullshit. and then as i’m typing my user name down the bottom is “even better, use an online account!”

and this is the shameful desktop it’s brought me to

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
hello, would you like your chat client to use all available ram give a long enough time? please install the 64bit version of teams.

we notice you haven't installed the 64bit version of teams, we'll just keep popping up this reminder until you do

as the owners of it (to the extent an open source project can be owned anyway), and spending a lot of effort making their own chromium browser on all platforms, yeah, i think it is fair to assume there is some big strategy bound up in electron.

it's just funny because if you do have the 64bit version and you just leave teams running and only lock your pc rather than logging out, after about two weeks it will have used all your ram to the point that they system stops responding and has to be physically rebooted.
