Lately I’ve been really annoyed by Microsoft products. For a certain work-related thing we were using Microsoft word to collaborate and it randomly would stop letting some of us edit, throwing warnings like “Allow access to your Microsoft 365 account” even though I was already signed in, and clicking on allow access would just bring the warning back upon refreshing.
Which would happen every 20 minutes because it gives me a pop-up to sign in, with three buttons on the pop-up. Two are cancel buttons, and the actual sign in button is invisible. I was already signed in, of course. I couldn’t continue working until a refresh.
Moving pictures is the biggest pain for some reason (and it isn’t even better in LibreOffice Writer). It’s been like this for years.
And then they have the gaul to start throwing AI everywhere when they can’t even make their basic systems usable. I’m starting to root for Microsoft’s failure these days, because they haven’t done anything useful or innovative since the pandemic.
Disgruntled, I suggested that we switch to Google Docs (yes, I know it’s Google, but we all already have Google accounts and we needed this done in a few hours), and everyone instantly agreed because I had just said their frustrations out loud.
