Vibe coding all the way…

My status is permanently set to Away so that people don’t bother me with stupid questions like “are you in the office”, although for some reason teams randomly resets my status to green every couple of weeks until I notice the increase in stupid questions.

It will also introduce 50 new product-breaking bugs

Missed the opportunity for an emdash there

I am not a bot.

It hurt to read that post. Grammar much ?

Americans will use anything but the metric system.

Click avoided. Your work is appreciated.

I think it’s more than they just don’t care. Microsoft cornered the business world decades ago because they’ve got wot C-levels crave…or something. End users have no say in it.

I remain very confused about the point you’re trying to make ?

Are you trying to say that if I don’t personally own the laptop that I use for work, then I have no right to complain about its shortcomings ?

I’m not following you… Like most corporates, they’ve locked it down, in this case with BeyondTrust, so that it’s not even possible to run unapproved executables without a dialog box popping up demanding an explanation, which then creates a ticket with security, who casually deny it a few days later.

But the fact that I can’t personally run alternatives on that laptop doesn’t change the fact that Microsoft have pushed out a lot of poorly tested and bug ridden replacements for software that has worked perfectly fine until now.

It’s obviously their laptop… what’s your point ?

I don’t think they removed it, as such, it’s more that they rewrote the clock from scratch and didn’t know the old clock did that, and didn’t care to find out.

Similar to how task manager used to suppress the refresh if shift was being held down and that no longer works in Windows 11 because they rewrote it and never looked at Dave’s original code.

Absolutely. Those people will never develop the cognitive skills their degree is supposed to give them.

Jesus Christ. First they fucked over notepad and introduced dozens of application breaking new bugs and broke decades of existing functionality, now they’re thinking about breaking the damn clock ?

Wait, no, they’ve already broken the clock in windows 11 because it no longer shows seconds, and doesn’t respond to clicks on non primary displays.

I guess they decided it wasn’t broken enough.

I’m getting so sick of their shit, and my employer locks down my laptop so tightly that I can’t run any 3rd party software too, so I can’t even install my own clock application.
