And yet we don't want our posts to be fed into AI slop, nor do we want independent hosts to pay for the massive amount of traffic generated by a massive corporate entity to trying to consume data en masse.

I'll take the bear in case you were wondering too.

Care to explain what an awful choice that is?

Facts don't care about your feelings etc etc

I remember NiCad batteries still being used in power wheels toys as a kid. For all I know they may still be, but the battery advancements have been particularly amazing.

I used to be a POS tech. It's such a gross, mismanaged walled garden.

Currently I spend a lot of time advising against pop ups like that :^)

Not the windows troubleshooter, as the mic was otherwise fine. There was nothing I could find in any Teams settings, and the admin panel showed all of the telemetry as being fine.

This is a good one to keep in mind, tyvm!

I have had to help so many end users with that it pains me.

"How can I stop this from happening again?"

I ran into a user who's noise cancellation stopped working upon the rollout of "New" Teams. Tried diagnosing the microphone array, settings updates, firmware. No luck.

My boss has gotten to the point of "As Ashe would say, fucking Microsoft"

Let's not forget the endless name changes, 404'd documentation that points to non existent tools all of the time, the GUI that barely works. Always an adventure

They must have some intense data retention policies. You can configure compliance levels to allow anyone into their Outlook acct using the app without any special permissions pretty easily.

Good on them to cut down access like that

I've also seen it used as niche industry abbreviations, which made me very uncomfortable at first, regardless of it being disused

This is huge. Thank you!
