In what way? I use it a lot and feel like it's still on par with the older versions. It's got some annoying "Microsoft-y" things typical to them from the last 10 years or so but I think the core functionality is still intact.
I think it's mostly because they keep trying to push other services down your throat. For example, opening a link in Outlook opens it in Edge, even when your default browser is something else. I can't use Edge for that link, I'm not signed into stuff there. So now, because of retarded decisions like that, Outlook actually is missing basic features that Hotmail in the 90s had.
The extent to which something is held back or delayed.
Considering that the features being complained about impede the user, calling those features "retarded" is an adequate description.
It is also in-fitting with the definition of lacking of intellectual development; as mentioned, other programs do not feature such impediments, and in the case of Office 365, may actually be a regression of features.
Retard has transitioned from an impartial term to one that is negatively loaded. For this reason, the term is now widely considered as degrading even when used in its original context.[10]
Much like today's socially acceptable terms idiot and moron, which are also defined as some sort of mental disability, when the term retard is being used in its pejorative form, it is usually not being directed at people with mental disabilities. Instead, people use the term when teasing their friends or as a general insult.[11]
Do you think people who have the condition of mental retardation experience bigotry in our society? Are you not aware "retarded" has been used extensively as a slur? And are you so inconvenienced you can't come up with a single less-problematic synonym?
Shitty has a different meaning. Above commenter meant to say the person making the decision was differently abled with regards to their cognitive capabilities. The other is excrement.
Seriously, wtf is wrong with this website? I saw this again just this week. Next I know these a holes will be going around calling things gay. "WeLl AlShUlLy ThE dEfInItIoN Of GaY iS HaPpY sO... "
Being a SOLIDWORKS customer is exactly the same as being a rat in a cage. They are the most aggressively evil I’ve ever experienced. Adobe etc not even close
Creo has a bit of a steeper learning curve to be sure, and is more expensive.
But it also is, in my experience, much more robust and has a lot more capability on the advanced side of modeling. Solidworks requires more workarounds in order to accomplish what you're trying to do, vs Creo with probably a dedicated tool for that specific task.
I guess I'm so used to thinking in code, and power automate seems hell-bent on being aimed at More business oriented folks. I find it extremely unintuitive, and downright hostile in terms of actually getting something done that I know how to do, but I'm not allowed to.
I think you nailed it. Why as a developer admin in a corporation one would use powerautomate?
At my last job I had to, as I dodnt have machines to physically run some tools and automation my team needed, or access to higher level stuff but that sounds to me like an Oracle sysadmin complaining that Access is a pain in the ass, just don't use it..
Hardly an end user problem though? I'm used to get it through corporate deals at work and in an organisation I volunteer for. Slightly different setups and access to tools but not through end of the world
I was going to say: the office environment doesn't suck that much, or rather it's not aimed at people with advanced programing knowledge. Rather everyone else (which is probably the majority in the professional world).
For people who have no or little IT knowledge it's actually very handy.
I've learned a little bit of programming during my studies (mostly R) and I'm now working in a big company.
Power automate is so useful and nearly ALL parts of the office ecosystem is accessible to it. And it's possible to use it with very little coding knowledge.
I did computer science, and we used MIPS Assembly..
I ask you, when has anyone EVER wanted to use a MIPS processor lol.
Also, for AI, we were forced to use LISP, which the lecturer didn't teach. He graded us using a poorly written script, and if your program crashed his script, he gave you 0. You only got 1 attempt. But, when is the last time, ANYONE has used LISP either lol
Snarky but true. MIPS actually is common in network equipment. It's niche, but not completely unused. Also, it's really an excellent instruction set for teaching.
Mobile phones like the N97 were already using ARM.. Whilst it might have been about learning the algorithms, one could argue considering the cost of university that we should at least get taught on the best platform (obviously RISC based in this case).
One could make the same argument about anything though. I could argue they shouldn't have even taught X86 architecture, and taught TempleOS instead of Unix Tools (after all, it's NOT the point). The point is to learn, but it is also to avoid double learning AFTER uni too.
I will give them props for at least teaching us OpenGL at the time instead of Glide (that was a good decision).
MIPS is RISC type and more open that x86 or ARM. I guess this is why they teach it.
Also I heard that some universities/schools starts teaching RISC-V more and more because of just that.
PHP is pretty cool if you know what you're doing and use its modern, object-oriented features. It's also very easy to write horrendous spaghetti code with it, which is what most people sadly do and give it a bad rap.
Garbage software is one of the primary reasons I left my last job despite high pay. It just got too friggin annoying to use. They'd roll out a 'hotfix' to fix something they had broken 3 months earlier and they'd break 2 new things which previously had been working fine for years. The support was so bad I just bought a magic eight ball for our office and we'd ask it our support questions.
Or (way more likely) they'll just not listen or find excuses. That's how large corporations work. Do you really think, you'd be the first one to propose that maybe excel isn't the best tool for the job?
