Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.

Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.

    Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

    They’d do better finally fixing teams. We’re talking years after release, and there’s still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, …

    Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that’s some stone age project management right there.

      At this point it’s better to put it down, like the sick panda it is!

      It’s buggy, bloated, slow and with a horrible UI.

      My job involves a fair amount of paperwork (I know, I know, what year is this?) and the fact that Teams marks me as inactive when my hands are off the mouse for a couple of minutes borderline offends me.
