Your rant reminded me of a line from The Big Bang Theory, when the gang is deciding whether to marathon watch the Star Wars movies in order of release or in chronological order by story timeline.
Sheldon:. “I want to be disappointed in the order that George Lucas intended.”
I knew it was all over when I walked into a casino and saw the Star Wars slot machines.
I knew it was all over when kids at school started talking about The Force.
Outlook on the phone is such a disaster. It groups everything with one subject line into one thread - even if the recipients are vastly different. So easy to accidentally reply all to the big group on a sensitive conversation you were having with a side group.
So here’s the deal - there’s a little callout at the top: “Are you enjoying Outlook? Yes No”. I clicked no. It takes me to a survey, which for once I actually filled in and described the issue. Great now all they need to do is verify my email address. I am on fucking Outlook. Logged in. What in the actual fuck?
Then it tries to open gmail, which I don’t even use on the phone, not logged in. Whatever I’ll verify it later. Nope - just saw the verify thing - this link will self-destruct after 10 minutes. Whole survey response down the drain because Outlook, which I was logged in to, needed to verify my identity.
Outlook is still a thing??
Some of us have these things called jobs.
God I’m used to thinking of outlook as an program back in the day that you had to force to work with your email. Yes I do have a work outlook email that slipped my mind because I never think of it as outlook. So yes fuck outlook. Why is it still a thing?
Microsoft are the single worst UI designers in software history. They have never written a single good UI ever. Every software “improvement” they roll out makes their software worse, not better.
Have you seen the new search on desktop outlook? You literally couldn’t design a worse UI. It covers the very windows you need to access to refine search!
They are the nut low.
The SSMS UI is very good. VS isn’t bad either.
I’ll be among the first to rail against MS, having had to use their buggy tools to develop with for what seems like an eternity, but UI’s are the least of their problems.
Every job i’ve worked so far uses g suite, thank god
I hate this setting, too, but it’s easy to change. Under settings, unclick “Organize by Thread”.
Nothing puts me on insta-monkey tilt like shitty spellcheckers. Did you know tastualize was a word? Google docs thinks it is:
Interestingly, google docs also thinks tastualizedddd is a word:
But not tastualizewerwqe:
No that would just be crazy.
Not sure why, but this is hitting me like it’s the funniest post ever written. I’m literally in tears.
Still better than autocorrect in iOS.
.
FFS you can’t figure what word I’m trying to type Chrome?
BLIND FUCKING RAGE
Funny thing is I can always paste the word into google and find out the right spelling. Same company - much better spell check, Isn’t AI supposed to be ending hunger and fomenting world peace by now? But it can’t figure out what word I mean by civillian. Right.
The auto correct gets worse by design if you have updates pending, pure evil.
I’m convinced they’re fucking with you because I only very rarely have ever seen these issues
Did you by chance ever fuck around with an auto-correct developer and are now finding out?
For some reason, the auto-correct is great on my phone and really bad on my Chromebook.
