Yeah we are too. But for some strange reason the policy I deleted from my account appears to have been deleted from my account. Goodness knows how that happened.

It’s so stupid though we have some SAP modules that actually require Internet Explorer because they’re super duper old and have never been updated. So there are quite a few users that don’t actually have to follow that policy.

Notify me would literally be an email they couldn’t even be bothered to do that.

You would have thought they actually wanted the three grand, like contacting me cost cost them nothing and they didn’t do it they just cancelled the order.

I cannot express this part enough, the time between the pre-order and them charging me was like 5 months. I’m not going to keep massive amounts of money in a personal account for months on end just so they can randomly charge for it on a arbitrary Wednesday afternoon that’s ridiculous.

I wouldn’t have minded quite so much if they made everything voice controlled. But all my speech recognition system can do is just call and text people. It can’t turn on the AC, you can’t even navigate to a destination with the GPS unless you go into the GPS app first.

Also it would be really nice if the activation phrase was something other than the word “hey”, you know perhaps they could go with a word that isn’t said 5,000 times a day anyway.

If VW made a car that randomly exploded every time it went over 40 miles an hour they would still sell it if in some way that saved the money.

US and EU regulators announced last year that cars with touchscreen controls could get worse safety ratings.

Yeah that’s the real reason they’re moving back it’s got nothing to do with the complaints from the customers because they’ve been ignoring those for over a decade. They just know that people won’t buy their cars if it receives a substandard rating.

But hey I’ll still take the win.

Right but who has like three grand just sitting in a checking account, that shit in a savings account because I’m not Bill Gates and I need every penny I can get from the interest? If they’re not going to tell you at the time that you pre-order when they’re going to bill you, then they need to contact you ahead of time or that’s going to keep happening.

Why would you put up with that? Why wouldn’t you demand a replacement.

I’m a little miffed with framework actually.

I had a order with them that they chose to cancel because they just randomly charged the account one day months after I had pre-ordered something, and there wasn’t enough money in the account because I didn’t know when they were going to charge for it. They didn’t contact me or anything, they just cancelled the order. Thanks guys.

Edit: Deleted an extra word

Then it should be renamed to Microsoft office -1 because I never started paying for for it.

Also they can release “Microsoft Office 365 Co-pilot app business plus pro platinum edition, with Azure” for 3x the price and no clear business distinction.

Is he?

No one is buying the Xbox, quite possibly because no one can tell if it’s a new generation or not. I don’t think any AI company has yet posted a profit. Market share for Linux has increased in the last 2 years and most of that is from people moving away from Windows.

MAGA is actually currently having a bit of a crisis of confidence. One of the promises Trump made was to stop the empire building and international interference. Now he’s going around causing an international incident every 45 minutes.

He has gone from saying that it was a single strike, to threatening more strikes against Venezuela, to threatening yet other countries in the last 24 hours.

This also gives justification to North Korea. They’ve been arguing for ages that they should be allowed nuclear weapons because otherwise the US would come in and force a regime change, and now Trumpsky has just handed them the evidence.

I don’t understand why shareholders keep this guy’s CEO he’s absolutely terrible at his job. They need to go back to having an actual engineer as CEO, someone who understands what the hell is going on and doesn’t keep getting distracted by the next shiny bauble.

I’m still pissed off about Entra, what the hell does that mean?

Microsoft need to spend a less time renaming products with confusing names and more time fixing their applications so they actually run.

Well that’s quite likely. The vast majority of people do die as a result of some sort of cause.

But did the officer turn into a frog? We’re assuming the AI messed up but maybe he actually did. It’s important to check these things.

I see so the solution to the very real problem is to pretend that it doesn’t exist and to penalise people. Great.

I’m going to say that I don’t want this. Sure 99% of people have smartphones but I don’t think it’s worth alienating the 1% that don’t so that it’s mildly more convenient for everyone else.

I can already transfer money from one bank account to another without having to involve the government I don’t see the benefit in changing that.

They’re trying to implement something like this in the UK but they haven’t been able to explain how they plan to accommodate people that don’t have smartphones. Because they exist and need to be accommodated for.

You know what you are absolutely right — Organisations are indeed falling for what is known as the doorman fallacy: reducing rich and complex human roles to a single task and replacing people with AI. This overlooks the nuanced interactions and adaptability humans bring to their work.
