Our new corporate owners' IT rules have changed the #retentionpolicy on Microsoft #Teams. Instead of years, now two months.

Whichever developer / designer decided to remove borders from Microsoft Teams windows needs a swift kick to the dick.
I mean, Teams overall is an anti-pattern showcase, but the lack of borders fucks me up on the daily.

Deal: EU und Microsoft einigen sich auf neue Vorgaben für Videosoftware Teams
Die EU-Kommission hat die Offerten von Microsoft zum Ausräumen von Wettbewerbsbedenken bei Teams akzeptiert. Künftig gibt es MS 365 ohne die Lösung günstiger.

Oh hell no! If they allow it at work I will be asking how I can turn it off. There are times when we cannot record or use transcriptions for parts of meetings.

Unpopular opinion (yes, I know y'all going to ban me now): #Microsoft #Teams is not the worst videoconferencing tool I've used at dayjob.
#Slack: tested screen sharing before the job interview using the browser. During the interview it turned out that the test mode is different than the actual "huddle", and had to install the app real quick.
#Google Meet: "Meet doesn't work on your browser". Tells me to install one of the support browsers, e.g. #Firefox. Except that I'm using Firefox. 🤦
#Zoom: "install our app".
Teams: miraculously just worked.

Microsoft Office ohne Teams soll EU-Strafe verhindern
Microsoft kommt wohl um eine EU-Wettbewerbsstrafe herum. Office 365 soll ohne Teams ein bisschen weniger kosten.

Microsoft Teams Legend of the Week: Brandon Graham https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/video/microsoft-teams-legend-of-the-week-brandon-graham-week-1-cowboys-2025

So someone wants to talk to me about me doing YET ANOTHER payment integration - effectively using me to sell themselves to my clients - which I don't really want to do, and I offered them a time for a chat with an option of phone or zoom, and they replied saying "Are you available on Teams?"
If they're the ones trying to sell me something, I'm fine to just say no, right?
Fuck Microsoft Teams. I hate Microsoft Teams.

Almost 30 minutes into Microsoft Teams the movie.
And so far the biggest problem is you know what movie I’m talking about if you’ve seen it. 😝
Having fun watching it.

Currently working on implementing Matrix's new 'Matrix Authentication Service' for our NZ-based instance... non-trivial. But it's such an impressive system (it's doing far more than competitors like Salesforce Slack and Microsoft Teams).

Tetris: Efficient Intra-Datacenter Calls Packing for Large Conferencing Services
Conference services like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet facilitate millions of daily calls, yet ensuring high performance at low costs remains a significant challenge. This paper revisits the problem of packing calls across Media Processor (MP) servers that host the calls within individual datacenters (DCs). We show that the algorithm used in Teams -- a large scale conferencing service as well as other state-of-art algorithms are prone to placing calls resulting in some of the MPs becom…

I’ve gotta run a TDD workshop next week, remotely. Any advice for how to do this successfully over a video call?
My plan is to pair people up, put them in breakout rooms, and hop between them, calling them back into the main room every 20 minutes or so.
For my sins, I am going to be using Microsoft Teams. If you have any particular advice with this contraption, please send it my way too.

Why does all #software insist on being your buddy these days?
Can we go back to the old days where instead of trying to slide into your DMs, and be your best frend, software was a recalcitrant old hag in a back alley who spat out an obscure error code that at least when you looked it up in a knowledge base told you exactly what you had done wrong and what, if anything, you could do about it?

Red Teaming for Generative AI, Report on a Copyright-Focused Exercise Completed in an Academic Medical Center
Generative AI is present in multiple industries. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, in partnership with Microsoft, has created an internal AI tool, GPT4DFCI. Together we hosted a red teaming event to assess whether the underlying GPT models that support the tool would output copyrighted data. Our teams focused on reproducing content from books, news articles, scientific articles, and electronic health records. We found isolated instances where GPT4DFCI was able to identify copyrighted material and r…
