I SMS my boss when I’m off sick.

ICQ was still online!?!?!

I stopped using that shit like 25 years ago. Thought died in the late 90’s

Yeah… I’m not gonna worry about it until maybe September next year.

I need a documenter!

I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).

Motherfucker!

If I was given an AI interview I would burn that place to the ground. The fucking disrespect.

People make mistakes, that’s why we automate things. If a system relies on a human not making mistakes it is doomed to fail eventually.

Saving manually should be a feature, but autoaave should be on by default these days, unless 30+ years of people losing work due to not hitting “save” manually has taught us nothing.

Crashes happen. Errors happen. Pets and children happen. Any major document editor should be able to auto save and replay a very long history of actions.

Improve the system, because you can’t improve people with a code patch.

A massive swathe of current gen devices don’t even support it.

It won’t be a month.

Microsoft announce changes much smaller than that 4 years out and still have to give extensions.

No. Some of us were already there.

Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).

OP asked for feedback.

Dude you’re pretty condescending for a new author on an old topic.

Yeah I read it and it’s very over worded.

1024 was the closest binary approximation of 1000 so that became the standard measurement. Then drive manufacturers decided to start using decimal for capacity because it was a great way to make numbers look better.

Then the IEC decided “enough of this confusion” and created binary naming standards (kibi gibi etc…) and enforced the standard decimal quantity values for standard names like kilo-.

It’s not ground breaking news and your constant arguing with people in the thread paints you as quite immature. Especially when plenty of us remember the whole story BECAUSE WE LIVED IT AS IT PROFESSIONALS.

We lacked a standard, a system was created. It was later changed to match global standard values.

You portray it with emotive language making decisions out to be stupid, or malicious. A decision was made that was perfectly sensible at the time. It was then improved. Some people have trouble with change.

Your writing and engagement styles scream of someone raised on clickbait news. Focus on facts, not emotion and sensationalism if you want to be taken seriously in tech writing.

Focus on emotion and bullshit of you want to work for BuzzFeed.

And if you just want an argument go use bloody twitter.

As the owner of a .info domain, I know this pain all too well.

I came here to avoid Reddit.

Now I get their posts like non-interactive ads.

Of the two main games I play, one doesn’t work on Linux due to the anti-cheat they use, and the other has horrific stuttering while loading game assets.

But Linux works better for the curated selection for this article.

It totally is. Accidents, Beta features, etc. all used as cover to be a cunt.

“supposed to”

Oopsie whoopsy, we accidentally made competing browsers disadvantaged.

Deliberate, disguised as accidental. Disgusting.

Our MAM policy would not allow this.

Frankly it’s BS.

Teams, when used within a single Org, works great. For 3rd party interaction, or working for multiple Orgs I would highly recommend almost any other product.

The intra-org integration with SharePoint and document management/data retention is very good.

But nonsense like what OP is experiencing is why even I, as the senior MS Support SysAdmin at my employer, refuse to use Microsoft Office products on my personal Android phone.

If they want/need me to do that, they can give me a dedicated phone just for that purpose. MS MAM is never touching my personal equipment in a million years.

OP is stuck between a rock and a crap place.

The UI is still missing basic features. The start menu is fucked.

The OS is fine, the Desktop is under cooked.

Now even tweet previews are busted in Discord.

You can’t even share tweets without using something like fxtwitter.

PITA

And then MS will issue a limited extension.

An business still won’t be ready.

Modern auth on email is still causing problems for a lot of places.
