  • Just talking about Teams is annoying…

    Having them name it after a core business organizational unit was just a bad idea. Then naming something in the app the same thing was even worse.

    Please open Teams, then search for our team’s Team, then look for this Channel. Please post your question there.

    Let’s not forget the absolute shit show that was the upgrade of Teams. The original Teams was rebranded Classic Teams because they wrote a new app that they called New Teams which is of course today just called Teams again.

    Considering it’s still a slow clunky resource monster this shows you how bad Teams was originally.

    Microsoft said that new Teams is twice as fast and uses half as much memory as Classic Teams



  • As another who learned to code prior to AI tools…they’re somewhere between mildly annoying and infuriating more than helpful in most cases I’ve ever used them for.

    My work turned on Copilot reviews in GitHub. Most of our projects are in C#. So it’s Microsoft all the way down. Some of the recommendations it makes on PR’s violate the C# specs. So if you actually accept its code changes the code no longer even compiles. It also recommends the long hand code for built in operators that are identical but far less code(??= for example). Meanwhile Visual Studio recommends the opposite.

    We have this whole process around dismissing the suggestions so this just wastes so much of my time on code that’s so broken it doesn’t even comply with the language specs.

    I’ve tried using it for simple data generation as well. Like asking for 50 random dates and all it did was make a loop and generate new dates by incrementing the day each iteration. That’s not random. This is a simple task and I just didn’t want to type it out.



  • Just FYI all the Tesla cars to my knowledge need power for the doors to open because the handles aren’t physically attached to the door mechanism. They’re all electronic. If you own one of these cars I highly advise you to read the manual and find out where the mechanical door releases are(they’re somewhat hidden).

    Another fun fact and this isn’t exclusive to Tesla. If you pay attention when you open the door the window retracts a tiny bit to clear the weatherstripping. If you have no power that can’t happened. What is unique to Tesla as far as I can tell is that their weatherstripping isn’t as large/pliable as other manufacturers or maybe it’s just the assembly. Using the mechanical release with power still retracts the window. In the event the battery is dead or damaged from an accident using the mechanical release requires breaking the window. That means the door is significantly more difficult to open.
