Oh cool. Just got the "We've got an update for you" dialog from Windows... with three unlabelled buttons and no ability to close with alt+f4. Good to see that continued commitment to accessibility right there in a highly visible part of the OS. They must all be busy with that pivot to AI.
The buttons don't appear to have any text on them or at least none that OCR can pick up. I thought I'd check the UIA AutomationId just in case that revealed anything useful. The buttons do have different AutomationIds... of "Button2", "Button1" and "Button0", in that order.
But ... but but ... it's #microsoft. Their commitment to #accessibility is beyond reproach! It's what all the articles say and everything. ...Except no, not really, it's been a mess for years and it saddens me
Ja, natürlich kann man von einem #FotoBug sprechen, den #Apple schnellst möglich schließen wird, um seine Kunden vor dem #GAU zu bewahren. ...
Was für ein Käse.
Apple hat wieder einmal bewiesen, dass es sich weder an die eigenen Worte hält (30 Tage Speicherdauer), noch an Gesetze. Apple ist erwiesenermaßen eine #Datenkrake, die einmal erhobene Daten wie einen #Schatz hütet und den Kunden über die Existenz belügt. Das ist ein offener #Vertrauensbruch.
Alors que Microsoft vise une empreinte carbone négative en 2030, pour le moment ce sont 29,1 % d'émissions supplémentaires de CO2 qui ont été émises par la firme en 2023.
Et ce alors que le fournisseur n'est qu'au début de l'histoire d'une GenAI follement énergivore.
It took me way too long to figure out what "pmby" could mean ...
Thanks #Microsoft#Office365 admin panel - yet more sloppy work in the world of I.T. which is ever so common these days. Every day supporting this stuff is so disappointing.
Wachstum, aber in die falsche Richtung: Microsoft hat nicht weniger, sondern fast 30% mehr CO2-Emissionen. Es ist nicht leicht mit den Klimazielen, wenn Du dem KI-Hype verfallen bist.
Microsoft´s Outlook really needs a bulk edit function for calendar events.
I´m spending a quarter of an hour cancelling individual meetings ahead of my vacation.
Here´s a free user story for the Outlook team:
As an Outlook calendar user
I want to be able to select events across a given timeframe and respond to all of them with a single action
so that I can cancel all appointments during my vacation.
Microsoft has increased carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 30 percent since 2020, making its goal of becoming carbon-negative by 2030 even more difficult, and it looks like AI is to blame.
Peak enshittification. I've finally been 'updated' from Mail and Calendar to 'new' Outlook, and the go back toggle has been removed. This means no offline access, no shortcut to a calendar, no touch support, no unified inbox. What a complete clusterfuck. Thanks #microsoft. Oh, and thanks to our IT department for locking out any other mail client, including all clients for #linux
Dear tech blogs. Please stop.
These are massive trillion+ dollar megacorporations.
There’s no “war”, no need to choose sides. No flame wars to be had to take more of our money.
These are appliances to get stuff done or enjoy for fun.
Period.
After dealing with pre-installed malware on this mini-PC, I'm FINALLY done reviewing the hardware! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/459
"Besides the malware" does an Intel Core i9 make sense in a system like this?
Ich bin gerade bei Microsoft Deutschland in Köln bei den Afterwork Prompts, einem Eventformat, das deutschlandweit stattfindet. Es sitzen hier Journalistïnnen von RTL und n-tv, freie, Deutschlandradio und mehr. Also ein Event für Journalisten.
Aktuell erklärt Alexandra Schroeder (Cloud Solution Architect bei Microsoft) wie Prompten funktioniert. #AI
Nächster Teil des Events bei Microsoft Deutschland: Uniper stellt vor, wie sie für alle Mitarbeiterïnnen den #Microsoft#Copilot eingeführt haben. Lernt man nebenbei noch was über die Gaswirtschaft. Es spricht Hans Petzold. https://www.linkedin.com/in/hanspezold#KI#AI
