As much as I’m on-board with EVs this isn’t as compelling as the Ford Maverick at the price point. As you add features they’re at price parity and you arguably get much more for your money with the Ford.
Outlook has been an embarrassment for years. Poor defaults, bugs that have existed for years, and sub-par performance.
Search for a meeting: it shows you the oldest first.
Busy search calendars? It may or may not show working hours. It’s incapable of helpfully locating a mutually agreeable time in the way more modern agents can.
Search for mail? It’s an abomination trying to prioritize what you actually want.
The settings aren’t intuitively organized and a hodgepodge of UI standards.
I had two friends (both PHDs, both worked for the CDC) leave the US this week.
In addition to the tumult at the agency, they were being monitored for what they did on their own time. Truly draconian stuff.
Want to collaborate with the WHO? Forbidden. Speak at a conference abroad on vacation time? Nope.
I don’t blame them. The autocratic push at the top feels different when it extends beyond work, and touches causes you feel deeply about. It’s a huge loss for the US.
My two chief complaints are instability and lack of consistency across the UI. There are 20-year-old dialogs lurking behind shiny new interfaces.
Search doesn’t work reliably. Right-Clicking on a file twice in a row will often present different options. Finally, inserting AI where you least expect or want it just slows common tasks. I don’t need AI to guess the next data value in a series.
They’ve left a huge opening for Google, more so than Apple, to get a foot in the door for corporate computing.
It’s shocking that this hasn’t happened sooner. At its height the cost was over $10k and at that point Tesla had all but doomed its cars by removing sensors they deemed unnecessary.
It’s also appropriate to point out: Waymo and others have been doing this for years. Tesla is a fraud.
While understanding their motivation to combat fraud they have a 20-year purchase history and have already established identity through payment methods. This is just lazy and perhaps additional data harvesting.
Amazon got so large they stopped paying attention to the details.
