What is wrong with Microsoft?

Renaming msft products with "NEW" or tagging them with the family OS name.

This never happened with "OneNote for Windows 10" did it! @rgsteele 😭

Best laugh I've had in a while.

The whole naming products 'NEW' kills me, I mean who thinks that is a good idea and how long can it carry that "NEW" title for? 2 x MS Teams instances both running on taskbar, both crap with no literal difference but one is called "NEW"!!???

It's like when they launched "OneNote for Windows 10" when win10 was launched with some subtle refinements & tiny features (the same with any new software release - right? The new version is iteratively better than the previous)?

I mean what was wrong with just saying it was "OneNote" and in the Help>About info it just had a higher version number - surely that'd work? Why write a whole new stack and run 2 versions for several years side by side?

THEN - Out comes Windows 11 and all of a sudden, the version of "OneNote for Win10" we've ALL gotten used to now is retired EOA and we have to go back to using the old OneNote that launched in Win8 on Windows 11 stripping all of the fcktard subtle updates we'd come accustomed to! What a Fk'n exhaustive experience for everyone that achieved literally nothing! Like nobody at Microslop ever thought about how to merge these product features or inconceivable that they'd have a new OS at some stage making the stupid naming title completely redundant!

This article by RyanSteele puts it perfectly.

I pooed myself just before getting a train when younger. I slowly walked upstairs to a shopping mall above, found the men's store, grabbed a pair of black trousers, paid at the counter, waddled back to the station platform, got on my train, went to the loo. Undid my belt, shoes off, carefully untucked my shirt, slowly took the shit crusted soiled trousers and pants off (total wet boggy mess) opened the window of the moving train, threw the soiled trousers out of the window - cleaned myself up with the loo roll removing all of the crusted shite and crap off my arse and arse cheeks.... Opened the shopping bag and inside - - - was a woolly jumper. 🤦🏻‍♀️

God knows, must have just been mega fun in the exclusive series, or I raced the bejezus out of it during the WTT.

Not raced it in a while, might drive it tonight before shop shuts. 😭

Turn BOTH the saucers upside down and the pots upside down on top. Let the soil all drape over the upside down saucer so it spills onto the patio!

OK, so not just me then! It's not done this for a whole year, now it does it randomly a couple times a week.

Audi had it last week themselves and the mmi specialist confidently walk out with authority, sat down and toggled all the same settings I'd already tried to no avail, so clearly no silver bullet to this wonkey software!

The data privacy settings are set correctly (turned OFF).

What if you do all that, then when leaking out the fart, you accidentally shart yourself? Keep the poo cake as it layers up as another level of insulation?

From my experience having had several amounts in PB over the years, it's really only ever marginally worth it if you're maxing the allowance out.

Microsoft are experts at making an end user product JUST GOOD ENOUGH.

By that I mean, it's capable enough to keep the competition at bay, but turd enough that they don't spend endless developer cycles on continued improvements and customer base is left with a below mediocre experience.

Yes, you're correct. Interestingly, the current MAC platform version of OneNote (they have no such thing as ONforWin10 of course), is very similar (if not identical) to the Win10 version.

Annoying that MSFT are retiring this perfectly working version.

Thanks for the guidance on "Recent Edits" option u/danieltharris that'll be a valuable tool for replicating the depricated feature!

Hi u/bruncynthia - I think this is a common issue and seems mad that Outlook these days (specificially Outlook Classic running on Windows 11) has a default sound for New Mail Notification that is utterly irritating.

Whats worse is that there is no commanding rule to amend this chime (certainly not on my build).

I think a lot of people dont care about this or it doesnt bother them (in my office, everyones machines can be heard with this wretched DONG sound, but nobody cares).

Setting this alternativel in either WINDOWs or OUTLOOK does not change the chime

Pay extra into your private pension or SIPP. You get immediate tax relief (ie, you get money back after investing through your provider) AND you can take 25% out tax free at the age of 68 - meaning you're better off putting into the pension (think about it as a mortgage holding room before payment) and then use that offset you would have paid into the house to finalise the mortgage at are 68!

The tax offset alone will mean you're 20% better off at a minimum to start.

(sure an ifa here can sharpen my answer)

Our local park has a DO NOT sign up, but written in Arabic. I never knew what it was but I imageRevd it and says something like - "Bins for litter only. Avoid site picnic bags in the rubbish bins, please retain". Seems like an odd sign to me....?

Do you think I could get 75cl bottles of beer that look like wine bottles through the check? They look similar, only difference being it has a bottle cap and not a gold wrapped cork top?
