Its super slow, one of the biggest misuses of electron I have seen. The website unironically works better than than the app. It seems to subtly break in weird ways every new release. Reactions are notifications. And the whole old/new teams thing causes a whole lot of confusion.
Yeah, this one and the same crap for the Outlook 365 stuff. So we can currently decide if we want to try the new Outlook, which removes a bunch of features I use, or just not switch to the new Outlook.
You would think the "old" Outlook then stays the same until we are forced to switch, but no, recently they changed the whole look of it somehow. I thought I got the update to new Outlook now by force but actually it is still the old Outlook, soooo, what?
Oh, and microsoft office is now Microsoft Copilot 365 Office Live for Workgroups.
I wish there was awards - here i crafted you a medal []—o
Oh yes, the old buttplug award!
It’s a medal, but I wont judge you solely on what you shove up your bum.
My company is trying to convince me to switch from draw.io to visio.. why is being able to install the program to your local computer considered a premium feature of visio?
You can install draw.io
Its harder to enshittify a desktop app.
Lmfao New Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Teams New, which would you prefer?
Okay, this I can explain. New Microsoft Teams is the new app. It was also installed before the person installed the old Teams. "Microsoft Teams New" is actually just "Microsoft Teams". The "new" is part of the Windows UI, not the name. It just denotes that it's a new option for opening "msteams" links. It's a new option because it was recently installed. The real solution to this is just don't install two different Teams clients. The old one is actually retired now so that's not an option and it's a solved issue.
While this makes sense to you and me, how do you explain this to brenda from hr?
You don't. You fix it with group policy or Intune and she never sees that.
While this is the answer for an IT Admin, it isn't for companies on not-Windows and all the small/medium companies on O365 who were sold it on the promise of not needing IT Admins for their stuff.
Well then they got PT Barnum’d
The context is literally a Windows dialog box.
Not everyone at a company can be managed by group policy or in-tune or whatever. Like if they aren't using windows. You can run into the same situation on macOS or Linux depending on if you have the old and/or new clients installed at the same time.
The context is literally a Windows dialog box – one which the user should never see in a properly maintained corporate environment.
It is 2024. Endpoint management software is cross-platform now. But this is a Windows dialog box. So I'm not sure what point you are even trying to make.
I have no interest in engaging further with your pedantic hypotheticals. Go move the goalposts with someone else.
I wasn't even trying to argue with you. It was just info that didn't require a response since not everyone lives in a corporate computing environment. You are the one who wanted to tilt at imaginary goal posts for no reason. Not every comment in a thread is an argument.
Touch grass and relax a bit. The corporate environment can be properly maintained another day.
I hate that your solution is to remove more user control. I admit it's probably the correct one... but I hate it.
If you're responsible for enterprise workstations, the last thing you want is for Brenda in HR to be able to install/run unauthorized software in the first place. She has full access to employee files, payroll data, insurance, etc.
Her shit better be locked down.
This alone is why Teams needs to burn.
Honestly, the "View meeting chat notifications" not being globally mutable needs to fucking die. Our company uses Slack & Teams so the text chats in teams are never relevant to fucking anyone.
Also, super invase. Every damn start it tells me "features" that are obvious, no one cares about and I've seen already.
Reactions are notifications only by default, you can go turn those off in the settings. Easy enough.
