I guess that means they don't have an XBox or play a lot of PC games? Maybe they prefer Nintendo or PlayStation?

I too would be wary of anyone working at Microsoft (or Oracle, or Salesforce, or SoftTech, or Tata or a bank).

tbf though, which other Microsoft project could he have said that would not have gotten himself kicked out?

Clippy designer.

C# is a decent language. I'll stick with Java because the api ecosystem is so vast.

The whole notion of LSP has been nice.

Flight Simulator maybe. Age of Empires.. not sure how much they are tied into that anymore though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

No, what happened (gets popcorn)

Well, they decided to launch mostly via cloud, which greatly reduced my install requirements, however, it also didn’t work, and had input issues. The servers couldn’t handle load at launch(shocking).

They also added weird sounding AI voice over to everything that sucks.

Then, they promised backward compatibility with any aircraft purchased in 2020 and launched 2024 without a content manager or the said backward compatibility.

That’s only scratching the surface too. I think it should and would have been delayed if 2024 wasn’t in the title and Microsoft would have had to eat crow if it didn’t release in 24.

Shit, that blows. Make a decent product for over 40 years and didn't think to load test and have everything proper for launch. That's sad

Mouse without borders is pretty rad

I had to use Teams for a hybrid conference. I used a Black Magic ATEM as my capture and the team's camera kept crashing. Checked every setting imaginable. Yet when I used OBS Virtual Camera as my video source and used the ATEM through OBS there wasn't a problem.

Speaking as a developer myself, it's likely not the devs' fault that Teams is as shit as it is. They are all intimately familiar with its shortcomings and are perfectly able and willing to fix them, but are prevented from doing so by management who insist that shovelling crapware down their customers' throats is far more important.

Honestly, what I find frustrating with Teams is that both MSN Messenger and Skype were right there. It's not even an issue of copyright or trademark as MS owns both. Even just lazily re-branding Skype would have been head-and-shoulders above what we have now.

What is it people don't like about Teams? It's mostly about integration with SharePoint

What a pile of garbage. That we rely on teams at my org causes me endless frustration.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We are using Zoom, not sure which is worst.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

I've used Teams, Zoom, Google Meet. Teams is the worst.

Teams is one of those things I don't understand why companies use. Just why

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

When I used to install collaboration systems, the main thing clients would tell me why they chose say a Logitech Rally with MS Teams over Cisco and WebEx was it's cheaper. With that said you can setup a Cisco Room Kit with Teams integration.

Because it's bundled in their office subscriptions

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Microsoft bundles all of their software in a way that makes it much more expensive to pick and choose which software you want from Microsoft and which one you would want from someone else. It's a very similar strategy to that of Adobe.

Because they needed a way to attempt to micromanage during COVID, and to do it ASAP.

Doesn't windows have a software repository type thing now that attempts to do the whole Linux thing?

Or maybe a developer for Excel? People seem to like Excel.
