Exact replicas of everyone on Earth. But we all have something… off about us.
Artemis II astronauts going around the Moon: “I have two Outlooks, neither of which works”
Astronauts during the first Mars mission: “I previously had two Teams versions, neither of which worked, and now there’s apparently a third one, and it doesn’t work either”
Funny enough, he found out later he had three outlooks lol
“Houston, what is ‘New Teams Classic’ and why is it asking me to log in three times in a row?”
Imagine finding a log with something like “we couldn’t stop shareholders, our planet is doomed. We will start with a new colony on the planet closer to sun, perhaps this time we will not destroy our home”
I had the same thought. Evidence of a long extinct and clearly human civilization.
Mars is doing the me gusta meme face.
I have two Outlooks and neither of them are working
Ticket closed. Feature not a bug.
I understood that reference
You need to update teams to join this meeting that starts in 1 minute.
Oh no, I can’t join the meeting, Teams is broken again
Elon Musks bones.
No, wait, you said terrifying, not terrific. never mind.
What if whatever killed him and is wearing his skin is just as evil and stupid, but is not a junky.
Just started at a place that uses teams. The window always says I have two unread messages. I don’t.
If you go to notifications and filter by unread you will probably be able to find what it is
Probably missed calls. It’ll keep showing a notification bubble in both activity and calls until you bother clicking the missed call as if that makes any difference or sense to anyone or anything but the notification counter.
Or theyre reactions to a message
Yeah, those don’t work well with Outlook. I get an e-mail from Microsoft telling me to login to the web version only to see that someone put a 👍 on my e-mail. It completely defies the purpose.
Microsoft really knows how to keep office workers occupied doing nothing at all.
Or calendar invites
wtf even downvotes do you work in microsoft or what? or do we have “anything big tech is good” bots here
Bill Gates logged in under six different usernames to downvote it.
Bro is outraged because of 6 downvotes out of 702 total votes 💀
To be honest, we’re talking microsoft teams here.
6 is too many.
I’d believe there are six people in management here who see Teams as a “good solution”
If someone keeps pressing the button then it will fluctuate between 6 and 7 downvotes
There is a novel “Microserfs” many years back and in it if I recall all the guys at MS drove Ford Taurus because at some point Gates drove one. So all the little serfs wanted to be like him.
I have to use Teams for work and it baffles me how unbelievably bad the interface is. Everything that should be easy and quick to do is made difficult and time consuming. Every time you try to do something simple you’d expect to be able to, it is blocked or limited in such a way that you can’t do it and you have to find a workaround. It fights you in every way it can whenever you’re trying to accomplish something. You also have to sign in with two factor authentication multiple times every day. I don’t understand how this so-called “productivity” suite is even tolerated by private companies. It cripples productivity.
While I agree the UI needs some work, getting prompted for MFA multiple times a day for just using Teams chat and meetings is not normal.
It’s not? Everyone at my company has the same experience.
Your IT has set up Conditional Access policies with a Sign-in Frequency set too low (it should really be labeled as a period, because it defines the time period that will occur before reauthentication is required). For regular users like all of you, forcing reauthentication that many times each day is excessive and just cruel on the users. They maybe thought it would make them super secure, but it only trains the users that MFA is an annoyance rather than an important security feature.
It’s a setting that can easily be changed, so make some noise and see if you can get some feedback passed through your org structure to IT.
I don’t think I’ve ever had to sign into Teams (PR Outlook, for that matter) in my desktop. Mobile, I have to after changing my password. I assumed all the MS apps signed me in with my domain login on my laptop. On weird issue I have is things like SharePoint and Dynamics 365 asking me to sign in again after its already brought up the site, and clicking the button to do it just brings a blank pop-up that immediately disappears and I’m logged “for real” I guess.
Yeah that’s usually the case, but some orgs don’t domain join devices cause they are bad.
Also the dynamics blank popup thing is your windows auth working
I’ve worked at different places that used Teams, and that thing with having to re- login regularly is certainly fault of whoever administers Teams within your organization.
Agreed. Sounds like a config problem if the whole org is seeing it.
Yep. I sign in once when the app is opened (which happens automatically as I’m logged into the computer as my Entra ID) and then am never prompted again until I close and reopen Teams.
Something is misconfigured in the environment, or there is a security policy that is set way too high, or one is scoped incorrectly. It is definitely not the normal or expected user experience.
Teams has a lot of faults, but that one is on your org’s admins and security team. Hopefully for you it’s a mistake and not done intentionally.
what is supposed to be and what is are often two different things.
You can get multiple sign in requests if you change devices regularly. It’s common to require authentication any time you change device
Not in my experience. I sign into lots of different systems every day and run Teams on all of them, and I never see any MFA prompts so long as I’m on a managed asset. Every system logs in to Teams automatically just by opening the Teams app.
Now, if you’re talking about a pinned app or SharePoint link or something once you’re in the app, maybe. But default chat and meetings should be the same experience, in terms of authentication workflow for the user, as launching and using Outlook.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s?
Agile
I can sometimes hear Teams notification sound from neighbour’s apartment, triggers me to check my phone almost every time.
They added the teams call sound as a horn to forza horizon 6, I made a few people tab out of the game with it lol
Amazing
Enabling sound notifs for teams is pathological self hating behavior
“No Trespassing” signs, written in Goa’uld.
Honestly, anything written that we could understand without deciphering would raise a couple of terrifying questions:
-
Who / What wrote this?
-
Do they know our language or do we know theirs?
-

“Didn’t you see my post in the channel?”
“Sweety, I don’t know wtf is going on in this cluster fuck. Be thankful I even replied”
Or maybe you believe in the Great Filter hypothesis, and signs of life discovered on Mars implies that this filter may be ahead of humanity rather than behind it
The most impactful moment of our history: explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time. They called it the greatest discovery in human history. The civilizations of the galaxy call it
If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.
Who knows what signs we might find in ice cores from the Martian South Pole.
If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.
Finding signs of technological development on Venus on the other hand would be interesting…
Even if this were the case though, life on Mars (or anywhere outside of Earth) would be a really cool discovery!
I saw a conspiracy theory that said we used to live on Mars but we polluted it so much that, to survive, we had to send a rocket with two children to the next planet, called Earth. Then everyone died.
The children’s names were Adam and Eve.
thats stupid in so many ways. nevermind the mountain of evidence that we evolved on this planet, two people cannot found a stable population. their children would be fine, but after that they’re speed running inbreeding. it would only take a few generations for all kinds of genetic problems to start coming up and they would only get worse.
That negates the entire biblical story too.
Indeed it does. But it’s not like people actually believe creation myths anyway >.>
