How do you come up with these, bovine intervention? You must spend heifer day thinking of these. They are udderly ridiculous.

You'd better stop being udderly ridiculous about this, or someone's going to have their teats in a wringer about it.

Just about everything about Office 365 sucks, in my opinion. Teams, Outlook, etc. Slack, for example, is so much more intuitive and easy to use. Take the example of adding another person to a chat conversation. You'd think the button would be over on the left side where the list of people are. No. It's on the far right, in the "conversation" section of the window. And it's a tiny and obscure icon. You'd think maybe right-clicking on the current person would bring up a "Would you, dear user who knows better than me, like to add another person to this conversation and can I do that for you as easily and simply as possible?" But noooo. And don't even get me started on the pathetic space utilization of the conversation window itself, where it seems the Microsoft UI designers have a specific psychological disorder to left justification, to maximizing width, well, to about anything that actually is visually usable. It seems like they are still designing for 640x480 EGA on 30lb CRT's.
Or simple things like, ok, I click that icon. Does the cursor position itself on the edit box where I can type in the name of the person I want to add? No. So all that typing I just did went into the lost keystroke bitbucket alongside dirty socks. Click on icon. Click on edit box. Sigh.
But to my point -- I often find an email by some keyword because I don't remember the person's name or email address (infrequent emails spanning several months), so I find the relevant email, hit reply, and edit the subject line.
Except I can't edit the subject line. Outlook doesn't let you change the subject like on a reply. WTF??? In GMail, you just click on the subject like to change it. And googling yields nothing useful. Even if it's me, 365 still sucks.

Outlook 2016 lets me change the subject line on a reply with no problem.
If you're using OWA, then you need to click the "Expand" button to the right of the sender's name - it looks like a double-ended arrow. You can then edit the subject.

I threw Office in the bin years ago and moved to LibreOffice instead. It's not perfect, or even close, but at least I don't have to pay for it every bloody day ... MS: stick your subscription model right where the sun doesn't shine. And I don't mean Wales.

I found Office 2019 as a one off purchase, no upgrade, no subscription. I also got sick of paying for it every year.
It is still a feature rich bloated suite.

This week I wanted to search for a string in a received mail, could not find a way to do that !
Also the person who thought Ctrl+F is for forwarding a mail should be fired immediately

yes, but like all ms products it is feature rich bloated.
think of all those features that you may one day need to use maybe once a decade though usually less
... ms have put a lot of research and effort into these, how would they have time to do fix mundane stuff.
saw in the daily news the c# team attempting to justify some of the latest changes, few people wanted them and many even objected also pointing out how trivial and even misleading and dangerous they were.
sigh, makes me wonder why would I replace the bald tires on my car when I could use that time and money to add another steering wheel.

If I Recall Correctly... I thought Outlook 97 was bloated.
Has anything been added to any portion of the Office suite that has been needed?
I just set up a new laptop and Office 2019....
+1 Dark theme support
-1 Theme runs across the entire suite. Change it in Outlook and it changes in Excel
-1 Offering to install Outlook App for my phone when I add an email address

Going through a Linux practice test and, so far, I've found two incorrect answers
They say chmod 760 sets Owner rwx, Group r-x, and Other nothing.
They say local host should be 0.0.0.0 in the hosts file for IPv6.
I'm almost afraid to go through the rest of the test. Who knows how many really I don't know, and will end up stuffing my head with incorrect info?

by chance at the end of the test is there an advert for linux support services?
ace the test and you'd need that big time.

Option 2:
Maybe your catching errors is what they're testing ?

I'm currently rewatching all the old "Yes Minister" episodes (Jörgens fault![^]) and I checked IMDb just the other day to see if there was any of the principal cast still alive.
There was at that time...
But alas, no more[^]

I just saw the news of his passing. It's so sad. Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister played a large part in the formation of my sense of humour (except for the Margaret Thatcher involvement).

It's just a shame she thought she could act in it.
