I’m incredibly grateful to my colleagues and IT department at work for allowing me to use zero Microsoft products.
I don’t use Windows, Office, Teams, Outlook, Bing or anything made by Microsoft at all, both in my personal life as well as work.
Life is great!
What do you do?
That’s funny
Meta note, this is a great format for fake screenshots (partial dark mode to make it obvious)
And then it returns with thanking trump and co., and your first meeting has the unchangable title “a prayer for president trump”.
Microsoft bad has become a cliché. And that says a lot about how bad Microsoft is.
Would be great if Europe finally decided to get off of Microsoft and move to self-hosted or EU-hosted, and EU-owned companies and datacenters that use opensource software. It’s about time an entire continent stopped sucking on the teet of another and letting in parasites.
What’s so bad about it?
Teams pretends it’s an app that can do a lot of things at once but for literally all of the things it pretends to be good at it is the worst possible choice.
At my office, it works flawlessly for what we use it for, which is video conferences and chat. We don’t mess with the workspaces and stuff.
The only thing I truly hate about it is that you can’t export a log of a chat. As a government worker, I’m waiting for the lawsuit over Open Records over the lack of that feature.
- random switching of audio devices
- users end up in different rooms when they join the same meeting
- substellar editing of planned meetings
- marking messages as read without the user ever clicking on the channel
and let me not start with the android client or the non existing support for linux users
I’ve never run across any of that. There must be some implementation issue that affects some companies and not others, because the 2 places I’ve worked since Teams took over everything have been flawless on all of that (except for Linux- and I really don’t care about that from a business perspective where everyone is going to use Windows).
Is your company the one with the golden fax machine that always flawlessly sends an recieves?
No seriously. We are a tech heavy company. The only not tech savvy persons are law and HR (in numbers: two people). Same for most of our customers. And I hear this shit break left and right several times a day. I wonder what your company does right that nearly every other one does wrong. Probably restricting this bloatware enough to make it work.
