Fix settings. Fix UI customization. Fix notifications. Fix search. Fix multitasking and network blocking. Fix sleep behavior.

I could go on. They need an entire year of house-cleaning before they add AI.

In addition to the tumult at the agency, they were being monitored for what they did on their own time. Truly draconian stuff.

Want to collaborate with the WHO? Forbidden. Speak at a conference abroad on vacation time? Nope.

I don’t blame them. The autocratic push at the top feels different when it extends beyond work, and touches causes you feel deeply about. It’s a huge loss for the US.

Search doesn’t work reliably. Right-Clicking on a file twice in a row will often present different options. Finally, inserting AI where you least expect or want it just slows common tasks. I don’t need AI to guess the next data value in a series.

They’ve left a huge opening for Google, more so than Apple, to get a foot in the door for corporate computing.

It’s also appropriate to point out: Waymo and others have been doing this for years. Tesla is a fraud.

Amazon got so large they stopped paying attention to the details.

In addition to my own text file I use the Clear app for quick lists. Recommended.

If i use a personal email then I can’t access it on corporate machines and vice versa.

Theres so much friction in the process it’s not worth maintaining the service.

If someone's found a setting page that does what he describes please reply here. This makes me crazy and seems incredibly risky.

I was shocked at how good Skype was when my son called a friend in a French village where he was an exchange student. The quality rivaled the best local calls on a landline.

Teams still feels disjointed and awkward, is slow as hell, and manages to make the simplest tasks (adjusting volume) incredibly difficult.

They were talking about getting work outside of the States. These are smart, dedicated people who are boots-on-the-ground for crises like Ebola, and I wonder about the purpose of the agency and our ability to respond to the next event (with bird flu looming on the horizon).

So research aside, our incident response has already been compromised, and we’re just seeing the beginning.

Examples that have been posted: warnings or prohibitions from posting content. Limits placed on sharing content (no bulk-sharing and a hard stop on sharing).

We’ve lost one of the only venues that wasn’t under control of an American oligarch, and it’s now clear what we’ve traded to retain access to TikTok.

Additionally mis-handling COVID and implementing a 25% tariff on some commodities had a massive impact on prices.

Then there’s just the evolution of some markets: PE buying housing inventory + short-term rentals + Rental yield-management (thinly-veiled collusion on pricing) have transformed the housing market.

The biggest impacts: consolidation and a deregulation mandate. Companies can do whatever the hell they want.

Services I’m not sure even exist any longer. An AOL account!

Some municipalities are just corrupt. If your cops are going to conferences to learn how they can seize property, they’re criminals. We should start treating them that way.

Try searching for a file by name. Third-parties have had this figured out for years and yet Microsoft can’t deliver accurate or quick results.

Two different interfaces for settings since the failed Metro experiment. The jarring introduction of old NT menus where they haven’t updated a setting to the new UI.

I could go on, but the author has done a good job of cataloguing a broken product.
