My two chief complaints are instability and lack of consistency across the UI. There are 20-year-old dialogs lurking behind shiny new interfaces.

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 shocking that this hasn’t happened sooner. At its height the cost was over $10k and at that point Tesla had all but doomed its cars by removing sensors they deemed unnecessary.

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


While understanding their motivation to combat fraud they have a 20-year purchase history and have already established identity through payment methods. This is just lazy and perhaps additional data harvesting.

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


Fraudsters almost certainly gain access to old accounts specifically to "buy" that trust and then farm it for their own uses.

I wonder how much a 20-yr old Amazon account is worth on the grey market. Mine is about that old, and I have – legimately – returned thousands of dollars worth of goods (that were faulty or just didn't work the way I liked) and it is probably very difficult for Amazon to distinguish between my legitimate returns and a hypothetical alternative where I'm a fraudster that just purchased this old account and am laundering broken electronics through the returns system.


Funny because Salesforce grew out of Oracle and initially sought to become the anti-Oracle. What was their pitch? Rent your software?


One of the most productive project managers I ever worked with did this. He’s easily top decile.

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


I only have a couple of services that use this pattern and I’m cancelling them out of frustration.

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.


Our Enterprise Chrome doesn't allow me to access the page to disable this behavior. Signing out of Chrome (but leaving extensions and bookmarks) is the only way I've found to stop the never-ending Google sign-in prompts.

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


If I recall correctly project 2025 had an item about targeting pornography. I could be wrong but it wouldn’t surprise me if the payment processors wanted to avoid the ire of the current administration and preemptively took action.


Free speech is dead. In case we’re keeping track.


Teams has never been as good as Skype at calls, even in the very early days.

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.
