I’m a teacher and our division just “upgraded” to W11 with a new version of outlook that is basically a web app on desktop. Several times a day my laptop comes to a complete crawl while Teams decides to open itself. Can’t open or close programs, Firefox won’t register mouse clicks, nothing. Graphical glitches appear al the time with menu bars and task bars disappearing regularly, requiring force quitting the app or logging out of the desktop.

When I first switched to Linux I assumed my experience would be like this. But now it’s the other way around.

Rant over.

    I remember this kind of shit when I worked at Caterpillar. I always assumed the requested permission messages just disappeared into the void. Of course, I was IT so my requests were usually asking for more than they’d want their help desk staff to have.

      Haha I assumed we had like a corporate IT that was just always there approving and denying requests. Until one time I had requested a photo editing app and weeks later I got an email from my local IT guy saying it wasn’t going to be approved. I was shocked he responded and shocked that he was the dude that was getting all my angry requests all along lol. I couldn’t even install our own companies software to test our products it’s insane
