Alas, Access was too powerful to make the transition to the cloud. It couldn't be allowed to survive.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Getting ptsd flashbacks from having to work with access.
Database corruption was so common I've had scripts in place to run automatic recoveries.
Terrible security, performance, and SQL feature support.
I'm so glad that thing is buried deep where it belongs

Access got FoxPro'd, right in the kisser

I'm still pissed off that they dropped the gold(ish) colour for Outlook.

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

Outlook 2000 was magic, even if it had more security warnings than a trip to Yemen. The current iteration of Outlook that they're pushing with Office 365 is an absolute disaster, as if they've dragged it down to Teams' level and let it rot away.

As you can tell, I'm not a fan.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm holding to old outlook for as long as I can. I'll bitch and moan when they rip it out of my hands.

I prefer the new color.
And hot take: I like the icons of O365 for ~~Wort~~ Word, Outlook, Excel and Powerpoint. And I prefer those over 2007. But I can compromise with the icons from 2013.

Edit: Halo is leaking :p

I was wondering what you meant. Until I carefully read my post again and noticed...

GG! Easy match! If the players are anything like the actual software, they're slow, extremely unresponsive when you need anything critical done, and will crash out of the lobby before the game ends.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Nah I've seen word.exe, they're so good they're banned from tournaments

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

You will play against them next match tho, and the one after that, and so on. Your boss will force you to only play with them from now on, even tho format is portable.

Back when Dota 2 had player icons in a vertical collumn I once saw a Kim Jong Il team with names like "his glorious head" and "his glorious hands".

Absolutely mopped the floor with them, but still funny.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Good times, I remember that and the face of Gaben.

Gaben's glorious brow
Gaben's wise eyes
Gaben's sculpted nose
Gaben's loving smile
Gaben's modest chin

Something like that.

Excel-sior!

Pretty sure the second P is Publisher? Yes, I looked it up. Yes, I do have other things I should be doing.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago

Not for long, they're shit-canning it October next year.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, its Publisher. I used the shit out of it for middle school projects/presentations, great for little posters and whatnot

They’re called “macros”.

Are there enough Teams logos/Icons to do a full 5 player roster?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

I think there's enough for way more than that if we dip into the whole O365 suite.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can you imagine if they also got the correct arrow colors above their profile pictures? What a day that would be to be alive.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If they were queued together they could’ve, you can pick your preferred colour in the lobby

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I can't imagine they weren't, so what kind of savages are they that they didn't pick their correct colors?! 😭

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

It's the Microsoft Team.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

I've had similar but they were all Raising Canes menu items with matching picture. Canes Tenders, Canes Crinkle Fries, Canes Toast, Canes Sauce, Canes Coleslaw.

Disarming spreadsheet…

Word is the team leader

PowerPoint is the one that talks to sponsors

Note is the team tactician

Excel is the stats guy

Publisher is the social influencer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

This would've been gold if the opposing team was Libre Office.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Why would you pay for Microsoft Word? It's so strange to subscribe to a word processor. I feel like I've landed on an alien planet and these people just are the type of creatures that you can't see their faces because their faces are stuck up their own assholes. There is literally a free and open source software that just works the same as Word. That is free. And it ain't going nowhere because it has European backing now. Because now the Europeans don't trust Microsoft. Thank you spaghetti monster. It's like you're fucking up. You're doing it wrong. Delete the virus that is called Microsoft.

How'd you like their presentation?

Powerful and to the Point
