  @YTJustGetATesla My current gripe is Microsoft Office 365 which i have to use at work for shared documents, its slow as f., can even grind to a halt when just adding a row to a excel sheet. I use libreoffice when doing anything that isnt onedrive shared.

  Unfortunately with this phone I've had to install the Microsoft Email App, @Office I absolutely hate its display and way of working with it. Now, because of their many updates, the SEND little icon/arrow is no longer showing when you want to send or forward an email from my phone. Apparently, you now have to SCHEDULE a time for sending an email and they don't even give you the option of sending it NOW. I mean, you are typing an email or want to forward it to others, why on earth would you want to schedule a time to send it? I've sent them a DM so hopefully they will come back to me soon with a solution to this problem. I just want to type and send, NOT wait until tomorrow to send it. Otherwise, I would type it tomorrow, NOT today. God give me strength and a lot of patience. Why NOT allow people who use Microsoft Office 365 like me to just have the email App they want on their phones? We are NOT a dictatorship just yet, so I, NOT Microsoft must choose what I want on my phone and it all must be compatible with Office 365 on either your laptop or desktop pcs. Grateful if they can help, as I need to work and am NOT home atm. Thanks

  @tomhounsell @Chris123NT I'm kinda surprised that office365 still lets me host my domain and forward to my exchange server. But it's still a PITA some services just plain refuse to send to MSFT for no reason (Amazon 3fa) but I get all their ****** Amazon ads ..

  @Microsoft365 To use Scout, you need: 1. to be part of the Frontier Preview Program 2. need Office 365 Copilot Access 3. need local admin privileges on the device 4. your IT Admin needs to configure Frontier. 5. your IT Admin needs to configure InTune policy for Scout 6. your local IT Admin needs to agree to (attest to) and opt-in their organisation to third party inference paths. Note: "When data is sent to GitHub Copilot, M365 data residency, retention, eDiscovery, legal hold, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Sensitivity and Confidentiality Labels, audit, SLAs, and the Customer Copyright Commitment do not apply." Here is why this matters: If 'AI' extracts a list of sensitive intellectual property or customer data from a labeled document and pastes it into a new response, that new response has no label. A user could easily copy and paste that text into an external email or a public generative AI tool without triggering any data loss prevention alerts. Regulatory frameworks require strict auditing of where sensitive data travels. Because the new content does not inherit the source classification, your automated compliance systems lose track of that data. The responsibility shifts entirely to the end user to manually classify every single output generated by the AI session, which frequently leads to human error.

  like for example: if you defend an org you will likely have: A firewall/VPN server A router/switch A cloud hosted web server Microsoft office 365 Maybe an Remote Desktop Services (or VDI) Service Your daily world will not be full of zero days exploding inside ur VPN server (unless you have a fortinet :P /s) these are rare events. You will have: Phishing/AITM attacks Scams/BEC Identity Dictionary/Brute Force you will also have malware etc. on box IPS/IDS/EDR alerts for behavioural type stuff (most of these are false positives) so software vulnerabilities on the edge in terms of volume will likely not be ur daily grind! identity will.

  @DoWhatYouDo6 I thought they: 1. were serious about developing the next-gen XBOX console with AMD which was codenamed Project Magnus under the leadership of Sarah Bond. 2. the cost of RAM and SSDs skyrocketed so its specification was unaffordable and Satya Nadella quietly cancelled Project Magnus, but expected Sarah to lie to the community that they were still manufacturing hardware, to buy their engineers time to work on Windows 12 X and then have OEM bring out PCs that conformed to the Windows 12 X reference specification, that requires the AMD Magnus SoC which does Path Tracing. The initial spec. was 48 GB GDDR7 RAM which was probably for the dev kit, and since they are talking about using Neural Texture compression they might only need 32 GB for retail. However, this PC could cost as much as $4,000 and it would outperform self-builds that are $10,000 so that price, whilst unaffordable for XBOTs, is value for money for a consumer who is wealthy and could afford to buy more software, but realistically will tend to only play a couple of games (e.g. their Microsoft Flight Simulator, or Forza Horizon 6), so Microsoft need to get them through monetisation, although their real concern is to ensure a sale of Windows so that they don't lose customers of their Office 365 GroupWare to Linux business software, which could happen through SteamOS installs and not necessarily the Steam Machine itself. That is why Satya Nadella still bothers with gaming at all, because they need it as a Trojan Horse for their increasingly dog **** Operating System, which you won't notice is literal malware (spyware) because you spend most of your time in XBOX Mode that it lets you boot your computer straight into so the Operating System is kinda moot. Sarah Bond resigned because she had too much integrity to lie to XBOX fans. This pissed them off so she wasn't mentioned in their memo. 3. Asha was brought in by Satya to "acclimate" consumers on XBOX (on a variety of platforms and devices) to Copilot AI via the Gaming Copilot service. That backfired and consumers did not want that. Asha listened and "listening" characterised everything she did including Twitter polls to let fans choose: Xbox or XBOX and have a premature 25 anniversary showcase as they can't wait until 25th November 2026 to do that showcase. Maybe Phil Spencer will show up at an event in November and have a "rose tinted spectacle" nostalgic history of everything good that took place over 25 years (leaving out RRoD and DRM), but I doubt it. So, Asha was renaming Magnus to Helix with the justification it had Gaming Copilot integration, but it has lost that now, so what distinguishes it as a "project". It may be that she is talking about using AI to help port XBOX GDK code to their unified Windows GDK (so developers with PC make their games for Windows and there is no need to port what they make to XBOX or have an XBOX dev kit as the XBOX is a PC because Asha changed Microsoft Gaming to XBOX so all XBOX refers to is their games, services and microtransactions and not necessarily any console hardware at all). You then get the promotion of the AMD partnership at GDC 2026 and their commitment to Cross Progression and it becomes obvious that they are tripling down on encouraging their XBOX users with real money who are good customers who actually buy games (and aren't petulant whiny babies demanding all AAAs are Day One in GAME PASS and don't buy games through this service like Fatal Mephisto but rent everything for as long as it is available), to migrate to Windows 12 X. 4. Asha has said no one wants to pay $2000 for a console, so that led to speculation that they would imitate Google Stadia (only rent all the software/servers) and play on a Samsung TV without need of a console, but that requires an investment in racks of servers that need to be fully utilised to be economic, so unless they do something wild and buy Netflix my bet is on no next-gen XBOX console and expensive Windows 12 X PCs.

  @pitdesi Yeah I was there was there for 2 years at the Mountain View campus one of them being the year he took over as CEO (2014) before moving to Apple in Cupertino. At the time many folks in the company didn’t like how he was deprioritizing a lot of Windows stuff like Windows phone and prioritizing Azure/Cloud and Office 365 running well on mobile (iOS, Android) and web. He was the head of Azure before becoming CEO so not too surprising imo. Also the switch to use Linux for networking layer OS software stack in Azure data centers over Windows Server and wearing the infamous “Microsoft Heart Linux” T-Shirt. All of which were clearly the right moves now but at the time in various lunch room discussions there was a lot of dissent and people thinking he would fail. But now all those dissenters seem to pretend he played no role in Microsoft’s comeback which is amusing. But since I saw it happening first hand and in real time I knew otherwise. I was a skeptic too because I had been raised culturally with the same biases and prejudice that Asians (using Asian in the broad U.S. Census definition) can’t make successful innovative decisions and thus can’t be good CEOs, sadly my own parents use to think that which shows the colonial mindset (even Malaysia was a former British colony) but clearly now we know that’s not 100% true with various success stories. It depends on the individual as it always has. I’m sure there are plenty of bad Indian ethnicity CEOs as there are from any ethnic group in the world, But Nadella is probably one of the overall best CEOs in the world of any race or ethnicity.

  @EvanOwen @tmnxeq @RhoRider I get where you are coming from. It does help *if implemented well*, just like any other software or process. It is way to early to judge effectiveness since most of the businesses are just having people use ChatGPT for random stuff and using copilot in office 365. When I did software consulting many clients would tell me they were “in the cloud” when all they meant is they have office 365 subs and a terrible sharepoint inplementation. AI is the same way. It will be several *years* before AI is used effectively in enterprise scenarios.

  @satyanadella @grok, @MicrosoftHelps, help me out here, please. Is what I am asking for actually available in Word + Copilot; i.e. the ability to cooperatively and natively edit a change tracked word document without awkward and complicated copy and paste from a chat window? I have business license for Office 365 used in conjunction with ChatGPT Pro but the last time I had access to CoPilot it was just a non-integrated chat. For example, when I asked it for help with an OutLook problem inside Outlook CoPilot it asked me what email client I was using.... However, for a while I'm not even getting a Copilot option inside Word and other Office apps.

  The new revelation regarding windows GDID probably has pissed off various “3 letter” agencies around the world. It’s been a staple of easily tracking you and I. Too bad. Glad it’s been outed. I’ve switched out the various laptops I use for online activities such as this one for a certain Linux distribution as well as modified their hardware a bit. Yes, you can be tracked by what’s in your computer. Change it around a bit if possible. Don’t use the same box you pay bills and work remotely on to get on social media. -Proton VPN- DON’T EVER use a Microsoft account. Sign into your windows computer with an old school local account. This is a must. You can search for how to do it. Office 365 can be permanently activated on your computer as a local installation. Do it. (Massgrave) Better yet, use Libre Office and enjoy not being tracked by Office 365. I Google scans your Gmail. Be aware of it. There’s better email providers (Proton). Nobody is perfect but some are orders of magnitude less “nosey.” Download DoNotSpy11. You want to turn OFF virtually everything. You’ll be amazed at what you can shut down. Turn OFF your location / eye tracking / motion detection on your laptop if you don’t do anything else. There is at least one windows GDID changer powershell script I tested. It worked. If you sign into a MS account, you’ll get the same GDID right back so don’t use that MS account going forward. Not going into phone safety or Flock cameras or new vehicles in this post. I’ll just say this: Any time your phone/iPad etc is not inside of an rf-proof bag/case, it’s going to talk to something somewhere, even if it is “off.” You can buy those bags on Amazon cheap. Get one. If you have a newer car (on-star) it tells servers where the car is constantly. Review: Learn Linux. It’s open source, not full of spyware. Get a ham radio license. Keep your 10 year old Toyota forever. Pay with cash sometimes just to switch it up a bit and make the cashier learn to count 😎. Be aware of what devices you use that tattle on your activities and govern yourself accordingly. A little misdirection or just being quieter on social media never hurts, either. Okay end of my coffee-laden ramblings. Hopefully this helped some of you. 🇺🇸

  "GitHub's scale is unprecedented." No, it really isn't. GitHub: 150M total users. Office 365: 345M total users. Xbox: 500M monthly active users. Bing: 100M+ daily active users. The company that runs Office, Xbox and Bing can run GitHub. If reliability is slipping, that's a priorities problem, not a scale problem.

  Let's put some "customer" information in here, so you have a better perspective. First, most of us who live in cyber security world avoid Edge like the plague. It is malware gangrene. You have designed it so that it digs in to every piece of our system, gathering our information, and we can't configure it to stay out. Security concerns. Let's add another problem, which is creating problems in daily operations: Office 365 has been designed in a way that prevents us from normal functions that we valued highly in Office Professional 2016, which was your cleanest, most professional WORKING version. Fast, efficient, and without the intrusions of 'phone' children processing. The new O365 is the least professional of all the versions you have 'improved.' I don't care about you tracking my daily work, giving me a 'viva report.' In fact, I want that deleted. There are so many bugs in O365, such as synching issues, wherein entire strings of emails disappear from the in box if I use a different device to respond to a Customer. There is a LONG list of 'improvements' you force in during updates that are actually damaging to work flow. Further, trying to force us into the NEW outlook is enraging. We keep using the "classic" to survive all your bugs and bad screen layouts, and the lack of controls your new version has imposed, and it keeps flipping back. SOOOOO many things we all hate about O365 and you do nothing to fix them. YOU have decided how we should do business. These childish relabeling and moving episodes of commands does not improve your product. Example: There was a function that allowed me to open an email, search 'all related emails' and find an older piece of the conversation. That's gone. Why? Many of the admin functions in settings are simply gone. Same with the new Windows. When I go research in various communities, MANY humans have the same complaints. Everyone hates the new versions of both products. SOME OF US are required to work offline, we do not work in your clouds. We have to have everything on the computer unit to travel without cloud access. You have made that a major problem. Do yourself a favor. If you want us to actually LIKE you, instead of hate you all day, take a survey here. Ask everyone what they miss about the old product, just start with 2016 Office Professional, and ask what they hate about O365. Ask about security problems, ask about the sentiment regarding Edge being forced on us, without the ability to uninstall it. Learn this: We are paying your salary. Learn this: We are all unhappy with the current product. Millions of us are heavy-use professionals that need the cleaner version. The current online version is even worse than that desktop app. Learn this: 2016, literally, was the last clean version you produced/coded. Once you went all SAS and cloud sales focused, you trashed a great product. Maybe have a team researching all the public comments and problems.

  @gabefollower Those lawsuits from those companies are straight up retarded. They claim Valve is monopoly and then in next sentence they say that 30% cut is too much. What they think will happen if Valve lowers it to like 15%. Consumers will choose Steam less? Hell no, they will like Steam even more then. As a result those companies will cry wolf even more that Steam is monopoly. Competition offers trash service, tries to bait with discounts and loses and them cries like babies. C’mon now. Epic owner cries every day about Valve and Steam and his “Game Launcher” is still mega slow and looks more like launcher for Office 365 than game launcher.

  @therahul4402 What's happening with Linux Mint? Windows 11 happened. I did not have serious issues with Windows 10. Log into your MS account..harder and harder local options.
