Just make Search out of Windows 7-era technology, for God's sake.

@merill.net Hey, Merill. Do you know anyone on the Edge team? We really need a standalone Edge object in Conditional Access Policies so we can prevent users from logging in and syncing their Edge data (like passwords and secrets) from home and other unauthorized devices. :(

@merill.net you probably already know, but this is going to break so much stuff. Terrible decision by Microsoft IMO. www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/s...

With CoreUtils now having a Microsoft-official version on Windows, I wonder if it will ever be included out of the box without any additional install or download.

The head of the U.S. Department of Justice should be an elected official, with elections every 8 years, with minimum qualification requirements. The Department should be considered on the same level as the White House, with the Department no longer reporting to the President in any capacity.

Good Lord, that one is the worst of all. That is an objectively terrible design even if you never had the context of knowing the first icon existed. Why the fuck can't an icon be indicative of what it represents.

Yes, but once you get into "defy physics" territory, you're no longer talking about technology advancement. Some things aren't possible, and Western people seem to have difficulty accepting that concept.

Adding a number isn't going to work these days. It worked in 2009 because even though people continued using XP because of Vista, there *was* a market waiting for something to replace XP. That market is much smaller now. I don't think that many people care about Windows anymore.

I'm just going to predict it: I bet we mostly learned nothing. When an American gets burned by touching a hot stove, they don't learn not to touch the hot stove. They learn that maybe they didn't touch it long enough for it to stop burning.

The Constitution actually has a little-known provision that allows citizens to replace Congresspeople. It's called voting, and Americans do it badly or none at all.

The problem is that there are not many government types that can withstand a bad electorate. We voted for Trump. Bad enough. We voted for a House to support him. Worse. We voted for a Senate to support him. Worst. Congress is empowered to help Trump.

Windows stopped being safe as a digital sign after Windows 7. We used Windows 7 for signage at a previous job with few issues. I tried with Windows 11 at my current job and gave up. For a commercial environment, just use something like Optisigns and be done with it.

Microsoft is testing Edge opening automatically every time time Windows 11 restarts. lol Microsoft hasn't learned shit. Every one who recently thought Microsoft turned a corner has been made a fool.

"We need to always be updating processes to be more efficient" are a cancer on well being, stability, proficiency, expectation, and predictability. They think people get good at their jobs by always changing -- and I'm sorry to report that isn't the case. People get good from repetition.

The Notepad vulnerability from a couple of months ago is wild. I remember talking about this in like 2005. What the hell is going on inside Microsoft? "𝐹𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑢𝑏_140170𝐹60() ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑙𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑛 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑒𝑠. 𝐼𝑡 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑘 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑆ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑙𝐸𝑥𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑒𝐸𝑥𝑊() 𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙."

"Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Copilot are both installed The Microsoft Copilot app was not installed by the user The Microsoft Copilot app was not launched in the last 28 days" Yeah, Microsoft has changed none. You might as well stop writing the dumb articles suggesting otherwise.

...under pressure. If someone said, "I need Project X done by 3 PM this afternoon, come hell or high water," I think it could do it. 4. I do *not* think it does well on foundational stuff or projects where absolute correctness matters. 5. If it bites you, you have zero recourse.

I've used AI for projects for years. It works. 1. I say, "I wouldn't have done it like that," very often. That causes a lot of re-prompts. 2. The more I use it on a specific project, especially if I do not fully understand what it did, the more anxiety I get. 3. I think it does well under...

GitHub hits CTRL-Z, decides it will train its AI with user data after all
As of April 24 you'll be feeding the Octocat unless you opt out Microsoft's GitHub next month plans to begin using customer interaction data – "specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context" – to train its AI models.…

So routers will soon simply not be on sale in the U.S.? This is some Russian-level bullshittery. The U.S. has become such a weak, crippled shell of its former self.

I hope the European countries especially stop cooperating with the U.S. on every front. If Americans do not feel pain, the 40% who voted for Trump will feel vindicated. We 60% need help. European countries politely declining cooperation is the biggest gift the 60% could receive.

I wonder if the constant emergency fixes dispirit Microsoft employees doing this work, or if their reaction is more along the lines of, "Oh well, just part of the job."

New today: our customers really, really hate that we switched from humans to an AI agent answering our "main" phone number. The objective data says it "is working very well and answering 97% of questions successfully," but our customers are telling a completely different story.
