no headphone plug

This used to be something I cared about until I found a bluetooth headset I really like. Going wireless is fantastic, in my opinion.

Teams definitely feels bloated, but having used it for years at my lost job, I can't say I ever found it buggy. The only issue I ever had with it was actually with my bluetooth headset sometimes not being recognized, but it was never clear if that was an issue with Teams, or Windows, or the headset itself.

The Outlook integration for planning and joining meetings was super handy. If there was some way to get email in Teams then I never would have had to open Outlook again. That would have been nice.

I think the features need a lot of refinement, though. Having threaded and non-threaded chats is clumsy at best. I found the threaded chats to be far inferior, and the inability to search for non-threaded chats was very limiting. Search in general was borderline useless.

Are there any good strategies for avoiding painful upgrades?

If you're not already doing so, hold design reviews with your users. Breaking API changes should be communicated early and in a way that makes it clear how the users benefit from the change. If the users don't benefit, you should reconsider why you're making changes in the first place.

My black cat does the same thing when she wants her tummy rubbed.

While this looks like a handy tool, it does make me think shell scripting itself needs a cleaner approach than what we have currently.

Officials immediately safed the Gemini North telescope and stowed the massive instrument.

While it's good to be cautious, it's wild that hardware would be exposed to external actors in any way.

While I do enjoy cheesing fights in BG3, I've run into a few which seemed impossible if I didn't find a way to cheese it, which is kind of a bummer. Shoving the big bad off a cliff should be a strategy, but shouldn't be the only one.

I enjoyed the ship battles in Assassin's Creed 4 way more than the platforming and main story. I probably spent twice as much time at sea as I did on land.

No leaks necessary; there are a number of open-source LLM's available:

The key differentiator between these and proprietary offerings will always be the training data. Large amounts of high-quality data will be more difficult for an individual or a small team to source. If lawsuits like this one block ingestion of otherwise publicly-available data, we could have a future where copyright holders charge AI builders for access to their data. If that happens, "knowledge" could become exclusive to various AI platforms much the same way popular shows or movies are exclusive to streaming platforms.

I group up with strangers for group content in World of Warcraft, but not very often. I mostly play the game (and others) solo.

If you got rid of those books you'd have more room for cats

Elon left OpenAI a while ago and is doing his own AI thing now.
