Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

Trump’s AI video targeting the No Kings protest is a sad reflection of how far he’s slipped from reality. Hillary’s comment about it made us laugh. 😂

do you ever ask yourself what would constitute “a bridge too far” for congressional republicans? because there is seemingly nothing they will not get behind.

I really need for the @microsoft.com team to fix Ctrl-Tab so it switches through every open Excel workbook instead of just the last two you touched.

Anyone want to help test a tiny app I built? It lets you bulk watermark pics on your Android phone.

All this work in Notepad.exe and they still have nonsense like this. The Ctrl-F find box covers your first row of text and you can't move it.

Just a giant middle finger to usability.

Trump administration approves sale of CBS parent company Paramount The Federal Communications Commission approved the sale of Paramount Global after the buyer made pledges to showcase a diversity of viewpoints and root out alleged bias in CBS' news coverage.

Extortion.

Paramount sale gets a yes from Trump's FCC www.npr.org/2025/07/24/n...

Congratulations on learning absolutely nothing about making deals with him, Senator.

Wow did Texas PD really just blow phones hundreds of miles away AGAIN because someone shot at cop 300 miles away? This is not what "EXTREME EMERGENCY ALERTS" are for. I'm sorry for the LEO involved but it would take me 4 hours to drive to where the emergency is. This makes people turn off alerts.

I love keyboard shortcuts, but Microsoft is all over the place. Depending on what you're looking at, search is either Command-F, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-E (store, teams), or Alt-Q (Office, Outlook). And I'm probably missing some.

The only kind of progress bar worse than one hanging at 99%, is one that makes you keep waiting f*cking forever on 100%.

If you're actually 100% done, I shouldn't be waiting. Hell I shouldn't even see the percentage anymore.

Dell built an update wrapper that offers to reboot afterwards. But that same program doesn't respond to the system shutdown message and causes a hang if you press that very button it provides.

So if you use Microsoft Phone Link (generally really awesome for things like notifications, SMS, photos), it also FORCES you to sync your PC clipboard to Android. No option to disable. Everything you copy on your PC shows a toast in your phone.

Why the hell?

You would have to literally TRY to be that disconnected to not know about that provision in the bill. News outlets and constituents have been screaming about it for months.

Even if she didn't read it, does she also not listen to anyone she represents?

Does doge know she is this useless?

It probably is. They trust it implicitly. and it just gets worse. I keep seeing people asking LLMs (essentially advanced MadLibs machines) to dictate their lives or psychoanalyze them.

Trump is forcing states to funnel grant money to Starlink, Senate Democrats say Overhaul of $42 billion program could delay deployment for years, Democrats warn.

Even all the politic antics aside, we shouldn't build broadband that requires biweekly rocket launches periodic to keep going. Fiber is the way. It also has better latency.

Notepad.exe is for plain text!

Although I guess markdown is plain text, so interpreting that isn't the worst thing in the world.

Yeah the savings you get are the same whether you preload the actual hsa card with funds or you use your own personal bank/credit card and just reimburse yourself on your administrator's website or whatever...

The curious case of Trump’s disappearing media transcripts — CNN The Trump White House, which touts itself as “the most transparent” administration in history, has removed a database of official transcripts documenting the president’s announcements and appearances.

Ooo I new coat of lipstick. Many Office, er... um, Copilot 365 apps now show branded dialog boxes. Excel keeps the legacy title bar though, I wonder if that's for backcompat.
