That's a confusing and annoying UI, to be sure - but for these systems, the email adress is not the identifier. The (email,account issuer) pair is the identifier. So you can have two accounts, say for (vimslayer@contoso.com, Microsoft

At least where I live, the employer only has to send in tax forms during the parental leave. They don't pay the salary - the state does. So, if your employee quits at the end of their leave, that's probably not a huge issue. They

AD (and Kerberos) require the client to have a ticket from a central authority, and also require the server to be trusted by that same authority. It won't really work for the "wild" internet.

I'm not over the moon about the new address bar, but I don't care too much either way. I agree it's a small issue. So I think it's really sad that Mozilla are spending UX resources on this fluff, instead of working on ma

They straight up lied about offering E2E encryption. Don't know if that's fixed, actually. Apple had to release an update of their OS to remove Zooms rootkit. (I'm not a Zoom user, but that's just because my employer use

Yes - then you all follow a conductor. And you _don't_ listen for cues, so there's no reason to worry about not hearing everyone at the same time...

You won't be able to play together because of latency. You will think you are in time with someone, but you will react when you hear/see them on your screen, which is maybe .15 seconds after they actually made the sound/movem

The issue with Teams is the issue all modern Microsoft services have: Their account systems are really confusing, and they actively make it worse in the UI. I have 4 different accounts that have access to different Teams instances. They all

Sure. Then maybe don't claim that the service is e2e-encrypted?

Teams works for "guest users", but they have to be let into the meeting by a "real" user. Also, I think it's possible for companies to disallow guest users on their team instance.

It's not distracting - it's actively helpful. It helps you understand how the parts of the user interface are separated, and so guides in how to interact. I yearn for the menus of Windows 98 whenever I'm forced to use a new&#

I train my diaphragm for singing, not really for any other benefits. But I think taking long, deep breaths is great for calming down and finding focus if you're stressed out. Don't push your stomach out. Let the stomach be pushed

Let's assume they're just trying to get Google to follow the GDPR. How would the report look different, compared to 'wanting to hurt google'?

I will complain if Apple forbid apps from offering "sign in with google/facebook/twitter/whatever", but as long as they only make apps offer an alternative, I don't have a huge problem. This is a much smaller i

They got the product right in the areas my IT department cares about - included in O365 license, and the illusion of integrated account management. As I hinted at in my comment, account management is a pain point for us users - but probably

The Teams UI has some huge blind spots. Now, you can finally sort-of-almost-reliably switch between different accounts. This used to just not work, for me. But you still can't see what account you're actually logged in with. I can

Do you remember the uproar and all the anti-vaccine sentiment after WHO was seen to "cry wolf" during the last H1N1 outbreak in 2014 or so? That's probably the reason they were more careful this time. It's hard to know e

I think the problem is one of expectations. You expect the 'safe, boring' choice to be slower, more expensive, more conservative in their approach. On the other hand, you might expect them to have expertise, and you don't exp

Nah. I work a bit as a musician, and I would say I often, but not always, create "true art" when I'm hired for a concert. But it's not the same art I would have made if I got to call all the shots. That doesn't nece

Absolutely - and I love the change, in case that wasn't clear. But I think the motivation was about equality for the sexes - and specifically, making it easier for women to work. The rest is just a bonus. A very nice bonus.

These policies have definitively contributed to a big social change. And while it looks on the surface like this is about "fairness for dad", on a macro level the changes mostly benefit women who want to both have kids and a caree

A PHP parse error (of your code) is a fatal error. A xml parsing error in the SimpleXmlElement constructor is not a fatal error - it throws an exception. An uncaught exception is a fatal error.

Now, this really scares me. Not because it's a false positive. Those are bound to happen. But if the takedown really happens months after the last update, then that would mean malicious add-ons are left on AMO for months?
