I've no idea whether MS either has a veeeeery clever plan about what they are doing, and I just don't get it, or whether that's just completely stupid in the current times when Windows' fanbase is somewhat declining anyways.
On the other hand, people always have a hard time understanding the trouble they order when they let things centralize too much. When they are too okay with depending on e.g. BigTech companies too much.
And in that regard, those news are probably actually good news... It helps people learning about how things work... So they can make better decisions in the future. Better for all of us.
I spent 20 minutes trying to log in to Teams on my phone today and I just couldn’t. After my username and password, it would redirect to Microsoft Authenticator, then ask me to create a passkey for some reason, show a loader, and then bug out and restart the flow in an infinite loop.
I’m being told we are in the incredible age of fully automated AI programming and yet Microsoft can’t even get login to work.
We are in the age of fully automated AI programming, and that's the expected outcome. (.. is what I would say if this wasn't Microsoft's standard for the last 10 years)
If someone already has MS Teams installed, and their Authenticator App, there is no compelling reason to not install Copilot. Unless the system permissions they ask differ substantially, let's say.
Either you trust MS or you better have nothing installed from them on your (personal) devices at all. No?
Satya Nadella had built up so much Microsoft goodwill from 2014 - 2022. When they first purchased Github, it looked like Microsoft was opening up and was going good things.
The first sign things were souring was when Microsoft dumped their gaming plans after just buying up all he major studios. First sign they only cared about Azure and AI.
Now it's blatantly obvious they're giving up everything to chase enterprise AI.
Yes, maybe. Although they explicitly promised the opposite some days ago, no?
And there was also that article some days ago that told the story about all the management stupidities at MS from the last years/decades. It was very interesting, and would suggest that this might be yet another very stupid move.
I would just disagree with one detail: With some basic understanding about how human beings work, and how the world works, MS never stopped to be a problematic company. Some were optimistic when they started to open some things up a little, some less so. Are they today more open than they were 20 years ago? Definitely! Was it ever a company that was healthy to depend on? Not a single day imho.
