Not surprised. I switched to AMD CPU and GPU about a year ago. Could not be happier. Ryzen sips power and I run mine in Eco mode (since I’m on an air cooler). Performance is still fantastic.

Don’t worry. This isn’t the only Trump plan that will tank the economy. I just wish the rest of us didn’t have to suffer because of all those idiots not paying attention.

Bethesda: stealing sweetrolls

It’s an awful mix of half-assed approaches to things. Awkward syntax on everything and very poor at recognizing what types of data it is handling.

Open a CSV in a fresh Excel install. It will almost certainly mistake something for a date if the CSV is sufficiently large (unless the user is exceedingly explicit at changing settings for that particular CSV). It will reformat that data as a date, and as an added bonus, since Autosave is on by default, it’ll save that reformatted data back into your CSV. Yes, settings can be changed to avoid these things. But why isn’t it just designed better so as to avoid it altogether?

If that was just a natural side effect of spreadsheet apps, I could understand it. But LibreOffice Calc is a million times better at recognizing what types of data it is handling, so it seems to just be Excel’s shittiness.

The fact that it also hasn’t really changed beyond aesthetics since 2004 is just… wild.

Excel?! Have to respectfully disagree on that one.

Ah yes, you’re right.

I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

For your sacrifices, I salute you

Is there a Microsoft product that isn’t?

To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I’ve never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.

Musk will simply change his opinion. He’ll come up with some pseudoscientific wording while he does it, and his little minions will gobble it all up and call him a genius. Then they’ll start spewing some tired talking point with a Musky spin, and it’ll spread like the virus it is.
