I’m pretty sure that 5 is a feature because the button that moved is usually replaced with a clickable ad.

Sounds like SAP.

I think that there is always an implied design requirement of the program shouldn’t crash.

There’s a setting on the phone app to block notifications when you’re active on the desktop. It works well for me.

I don’t think that I get meeting notifications on my teams on desktop either so they just come up in outlook.

There are people in my org that always start with a “Hi” and then send each sentence as a new message. Very irritating.

The idea is that you can have more data online than you can fit on your computer.

It makes sense for SharePoint when there can easily be enough data to cause space problems on employee computers.

It doesn’t really make sense for it to be the default for personal OneDrives though.

Everything Microsoft is pushing Copilot everywhere……. even Windows Notepad ffs. If there was ever an app that definitely didn’t need AI it was a basic text editor.

There are new versions of C# every year.

It’s taking the piss out of Andrew Tate and the gullible guys that he’s convinced are superior to women.

Yes, I did miss that bit, sorry.

For instance you can monitor when the compressor shuts off and use the plug to shut off the entire unit, then power it on when the room temperature rises to a set point.

That seems like you’re just replicating what the AC’s thermostat is doing. You’d only be saving the stand by power which doesn’t seem like it’ll be a huge saving to me.

It’s your responsibility to manage your finances, not theirs. It’s bullshit that they’d even consider any method of processing payments other than first come, first served.

I used to be a contractor and was sometimes bad at processing timesheets and invoices.

I had one occasion where I had (numbers made up because it was ages ago) £100 in the business bank account with no overdraft facility when a £150 payment went out.

The payment went out putting me overdrawn. They waited a day before deciding that I wasn’t allowed an overdraft and putting the money back.

During that 24 hour period a payment for £25 was processed and blocked because I was overdrawn.

They then charged me two fees for refusing the payments even though I had money for the second one in the bank.

I switched banks right after that.

I think that the main difference is that developers tend to test for success (i.e. does it work as defined) and that testers should also test that it doesn’t fail when a user gets hold of it.

I have worked with some excellent testers but I have also worked with a team that literally required us to write down the tests for them.

To be fair, that wasn’t their fault because they weren’t testers. They were finance people that had been seconded to testing because we didn’t have a real test team.

The current team is somewhere in between.

I wish our test team was like that. Ours would respond with something like “How would I test this?”

Another one that shouldn’t be allowed but is are the unlimited* plans where the * indicates that it’s not really unlimited.

They want to delete the account that they presumably set up just to try Apple TV+

We don’t get that lag but we do frequently get it when the camera doesn’t work for somebody.

I really can’t understand the separation between teams, channels and chats. We almost never use anything other than group chats.

We would definitely pronounce our as “are” in some cases., usually when referring to a person. “Our kid” or “Our Jack” would have been pronounced “are”.
