It’s a peaceful life.

I have two versions of Teams installed on my work PC. The regular old Teams that is apparently not long for this world anymore. And New Teams, which is exactly the same as old teams but on a different tech stack (?) That will replace the old one. MS has lost the plot, they have somehow a worse product management than Google.

It cannot integrate with or handle existing VoIP services, receive or answer phone calls, handle land and cellular switches and terminals, and it cannot route or transfer calls (audio or video) automatically. It doesn’t handle automated away time messages or rerouting, auto-replys to chat, it cannot serve users external of the organization. And those are only the few things I use daily, sure there must be many more things that Skype can do an Teams just doesn’t because it’s a slack and zoom hybrid. It just doesn’t fit the role Skype has in my org and it’s why we continue to run both together until the very second the Skype servers are finally shut down.

Corporate, companies that bought all-in into MS ecosystem. Which is weird that they added this to the mobile client as Skype for business is ending support in 2025, it’s supposed to be replaced by Teams, which it not ready BTW. So, I don’t know what any of these is supposed to do, perhaps just rake in more data before the service dies for good?

None, Sony makes no promises of long term support. The most they usually support a device is two years if even. Typically they only commit to one version of Android upgrade and then you are on your own.

The point of a samsung flagship is access to the S-pen. Specially in a form factor that turns into a small tablet. This defeats the purpose of a foldable. Who cares about an extra millimeter?

Not everyone does it. Shady places charge equal price for virgin cocktails.

But think about the security updates.

Nothing rude, but I don’t care who you are. The matter of the fact is that MS W11 isn’t cutting it for my organization. I do not make the rules, a friend in ICT just tells me what happens at headquarters and I’m relying that info without violating NDA rules. We are not a regular company, what we deal with is beyond the scope of any of those private sectors you mentioned, it’s beyond any company in a private or public sector. We cannot just trust MS anymore, we did once and we got burned bad. Millions of records got leaked. Thank goodness encrypted by our own in-house infosec software. But still, we are more than weary and thus far MS hasn’t done anything to rebuild but rather has grind what little confidence was left.

Not really. W11 doesn’t pass my company privacy and security certification (we deal with a lot of sensitive data). A lot of stuff, specially the intrusive AI hooks into the filesystem cannot be removed. I mean, you can remove them to the point that a user won’t notice or think that the AI was there. But there’s a bunch of under the hood shit that still makes it a liability. Even just disabling the Bing AI BS on Edge doesn’t actually remove it, it just makes it invisible to the user. Just like OneDrive and Teams cannot be actually removed, they just exist and act out of the user eye, but we actually pay to use those so the evaluation is different. But the AI crap is not transparent enough to even be audited by an independent third party. We are already a bit weirded out by Teams auto transcript that just listens to all chats and all meeting at all times. But that shit is so bad that it never gets a single word correct. We received proof that the transcript runs locally and never leaves our sharepoint server, so we tolerate it. MS is just crap all around when you actually need to be secure or private.

11 has ads, AI and other annoyances crammed in.

Python supports both, it’s just not pythonic. It’s not the way it’s meant to be written but you can write them if you want/are a masochist, because of the syntax’s flexibility.

That’s not on Samsung, but the app developers. Nuance killed it, eventually everyone else will move on and some stuff will break as SDKs change, permission models evolve, old API hooks get altered, and so on and so forth. I would suggest you move to a more modern, maintained, and open source option. Open board has a swipe fork and it’s actually part of the roadmap to merge the glide typing into the main project.

Same on OneUI, it’s been part of the UX language for a while.

Knives exist.

Do you mean mailto links? Mail is not a type of app but a type of link. Depending on where you’re opening the link from, sometimes you can long press to recall the open with menu and choose always open with proton. If that doesn’t work check the app setting on the default apps section, there’s a “link opening” sub menu. There you can see which apps open which internet links. Sometimes a link is not a generic mail to but a specific gmail link that is configured to automatically open with the app. Maybe try disabling gmail from opening links altogether or try to find the offending link on the messy link list. There’s a lot of dead google services that are now redirected to gmail.

Some people are irrationally angry at everything that anyone young does or likes, because deep down it reminds them of their own mortality and the short span of time we are actually allocated to live life.
