The company I work for is currently in the process of switching from our own server and email client to Outlook and OneDrive. It's gonna be a fucking nightmare when we switch.
Breaking onedrive? I'm confused. It's like that thing in Southpark "How do you kill that which has no life?"
Love that my work laptop had a forced rollout to Win 11. Excuse to have a break when it breaks.
our work desktops have the cringey ass UI, the search bar and the minimize bar in the middle, who thought of that.
You can change taskbar alignment if you right-click on it.
No idea who thought centre alignment was a good idea.
I just assumed they were trying to copy Apple, rather than having an original idea.
center alignment is great on my 49" monitor, but that shit immediately goes to the left on every other device i have
Just amazing work coming out of the slopShop recently.
There's an argument to be made that it's better than what was previously released, given there are over 200 vulnerabilities to begin with. Though, Microsoft was slop long before AI
200?! Jesus. For what people are paying for it I'd expect 0. Goddamn.
So dysfunctional recycle bin and Onedrive I see as benefits, just a stable operating system would be nice to have.
Clickbait and misleading. Nothing “broke”. The recycling bin works just fine, the name of the file in the confirm delete popup is just displayed wrong.
It isn't the details or severity of the break that matters.
It's that the quality control process is SUPPOSED to catch that, and whatever sorry excuse for a process they're using now ALLOWED a break that was obvious, visible, and repeatable, inside a critical, core function of the operating system, to make it to the end users, something that should trigger as an immediate, flashing warning light. That means the entire quality control process at the very least is SEVERELY compromised and unreliable, and there could very easily be MUCH more severe vulnerabilities and bugs hiding underneath that AREN'T immediately visible. To anyone who has done any professional development for non-disposable code bases, this isn't a whisper of a problem - it's an air horn.
AI found the exploits, and they clearly used AI to fix the exploits.... That about as far as the QC conversation went
Lol, yeah that's definitely broken
So, nothing broke, except the thing that broke. Gotcha.
That sounds kinda broken...
I have seen things mislabeled in Linux in the past, I've also seen minor bugs in Linux. It's not broken if the software still works fine. Bugs happen with or without AI.
Linux doesn't charge hundreds of dollars per license to fund the development, rake in billions in profit, and then funnel that money into stock dividends instead of a proper quality assurance team.
Hundreds of dollars per license, and they still run ads in the os.....
Linux is zero dollars and shows zero ads...
So where is it pulling that data from?
What other file identifying functions are broken in a similar manner?
Well..... It looks like I need to go back to Debian.
Why would you ever leave?
Because it's boring.... And honestly, that's the best reason of all for why you should stay!
I got bored/curious and wanted something shiny and new, and I'm okay with occasional weirdness and things breaking,
I was on fedora for a while and now I'm on cachyOS with niri as the window manager.
The real question is not why would you leave, it's why would you go back to micro$oft....
I have found a couple of web sites that don't work with Firefox on Linux but do with with Firefox on Win11. Costco pharmacy is one. I still have a win11 laptop I can use, but I don't use it a lot and there are always massive updates every time I power it up.
I don't know if it is this one, but I have been on a number of PC's that have been fked by updates recently
Proprietary garbage as always
