    Yeah somehow the other guy fails to see how that 12 seconds lag with freaking Microsoft Word will correlate with bad performance in other areas in Windows too. FFS, even the Win11 start menu has horrible optimization issues with CPU lag spikes. Oh no! It’s gotta be my ADHD though!!

    Waiting 12 seconds for simply opening a word document is the tip of the enshitification iceberg. I would say “slippery slope” for this example here, but we are looonngggg past that point now. Don’t use windows!

      Windows 11 recently had to start enabling some kind of turbo CPU mode just to open a right click menu on files, because otherwise it took more than 5-10 seconds. Same with File Browser.

      They are extremely incompetent.

      I had to use Teams for a week because of a second jpb I do occasional contracts for, and it was baffling how extremely worse has it gotten in the last two years.

      Three times! It has happened that the teams would load (after going through login loop twice times for some reason) that it would load and show everything as usuall. Only after like three hours of waiting for answer I’ve noticed that my message actually didn’t send, without any error or indicator, and that everyone’s, including mine, status is “Undefined” and nothing works - messages don’t send, just appear sent, and I’m not getting any messages.

      The only indicator was that everyone’s status dot was a hollow grey circle, and that messages did not have the sent checkmark but just a hollow dot next to them. Even refreshing did not fix it and I had to relog it for it to start working.
