Fun fact, we have a similar expression in French, but we use "rounding" corners to describe a sloppy job.... So the joke actually works in french if you remplace the octagon by a circle.

But can you remove Windows from Windows?

I've set my frontpage to be my subscriptions. Firefox addon. No shorts, no bs.

Dude, are you unhappy or something? Or some kind of Microsoft fanboy maybe? Because you have the attitude of 6 yo kid. Adults should usually be able to express themselves without falling into personnal insults.

Are you mad that people want the control of their computers, does that makes you feel irrelevant? Is that why you say things like " This place is full of people like you" (lol)? Flashnews, it's 2023, everybody uses computers everyday, you're not special. Maybe you should look at other professions, you don't seem to enjoy your job.

So yeah, if you can't have a discussion without behaving like an asshole, take your 10 year experience in whatever and go, nobody cares.

That's too bad for speaker support cause these M1/2 have the best sound I've seen on any laptop. How are the graphic performance, can they match what we have on macOS? I secretly dream of the day we will be able to use the Apple silicon macs for VR. I actually managed to get some things to work decently with a 2018 intel Mac and ALVR a while back.

Well, IMO the real security problem is forcing all the people who want to be part of Montreal's largest university to give all their personal data to a shitty, delinquent, soulless company like Microsoft. The stupid 2FA application is also a huge discriminating factor, preventing anyone who doesn't have a compatible phone from studying at our university. But now MS have the phone # of 98% of our community. Did you know that the ms 365 suite has literally been banned from academic institutions in Germany, due to security concerns? On our side, we pay millions every year to this company for dysfunctional services for which free, secure alternatives exist. Universities shouldn't be on their knees to big business, that's what I think, and no, I don't feel any guilt about using secure open-source software.

Both scenarios are fine with me. I don't care if they're incompetent or just don't care, as long as I can use my softwares. But I doubt they would have the time to scan every staff's laptop to see what applications we use. They also said it was mandatory for all the students and teachers to use the stupid 2FA Microsoft app on our phone, but I've been using Keepass on desktop without problems (and even shown it to some students). Next step, I'm gonna install Fedora Asahi Remix on the M1 mac they provided me.

I honestly don't know much about how that works. I've just managed to sync outlook emails to Thunderbird with the Exchange protocol or something. I get taken to my organisation page once every two weeks or so, for the 2FA, and everything works just fine. I'll just play dumb if IT ever ask me question but so far so good.

One time, when I had to use outlook, someone called me asking why I wasn't replying to emails since like 3 days. Turned out Outlook had decided I could receive emails, but when I was replying, the email would put in a special folder "to be sent" or something, because the MS outgoing server was not working. I looked like a fucking imbecile when I figured it out and tried to explain what happened.

We are REQUIRED to use outlook at my job, along with all the MS bullshit. I've changed my Thunderbird interface to make it look exactly like outlook, synced my calendars, and kept using it for the past year or so. They have no clue. I hate Microsoft with passion, I will spent hours of my free time to find ways to be out of their ecosystem if I need to, and I usually manage to do so.

Can you get me some Capt'n crunch on your way back home? Pretty please??
