Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Velderan]

I am so happy my company is too cheap for Microsoft products.* Google has many issues -- and they're accumulating -- but Gmail for Work makes a heck of a lot more sense than all the weird hoops Outlook requires jumping through.

* Except for when I need to work with a truly massive dataset that makes Google Sheets choke and have to hunt someone down with an Excel license.

I've always had Microsoft Office where I've worked, so I'm used to it now but the Ctrl + F thing still gets me when I want to search for something in a long email.

Some of y'all studied business and economics at the College of YouTube, and it shows.

The one that gets me is the people who learned basic manners, critical thinking, spelling, grammar, rhetoric, argument, etc at YouTubeU.

Damn, you get emails long enough you need a search function?

If everything is turning into videogames, business software should allow everyone to remap their keybinds!

The folks who learned copyright law from Reddit University are entertaining, though.

(I am, of course, referring to those folks over at NuTSR.)

I learned just enough copyright law in grad school to know I don’t know naughty word.

Law seems easy and fun and dramatic and righteous in fiction.

Dealing with it in real life? Ugh.

I work as an IT Security Engineer, so I get forwarded long email chains and sometimes it's faster to search for a particular name that was referenced to see what they said. For example, my boss will forward me something and ask "can you explain what Bob is seeing?" and instead of reading the whole thing, I search for "Bob" to quickly find his email buried in 20 responses of people theorizing what's happening.

Almost every day...
