I actually put in an IT ticket over it today right after I made that comment, because I accidentally hit that goddamn key again while typing up an email.

IT came back with - and I shit you not - "Open the Microsoft store and install Microsoft PowerToys"

For context, this company takes security extremely seriously. Just a few months before I started, they had recovered from a major ransomware attack, due to some moron that downloaded an attachment from the wrong email. They don't even allow flash drives, except for Apricorn encrypted drives, but those you have to sign out directly from IT and the serial number is tracked. Plus the usual KnowBe4 simulations, regular training, etc...

So IT coming back with that response was a pretty big surprise to me 😅

Yes, but only once, until they decide to upgrade the chair.

"Buy him out, boys!"

I honestly don’t understand why I would ever write up or share a Microsoft document.

Corporate execs literally cum over MS's next big thing. A lot of companies use MS-based infrastructure and applications.

My work just issued me a Surface 7 a few weeks ago (RIP my former Thinkpad T15 G2), and while it's nice, the fucking copilot key is driving me absolutely insane. I can't disable it unless I turn on "Fn Lock" which switches it's function to open up the Context menu (i.e. right-click menu). HOWEVER, if I do that, then the F1-F12 keys' volume, brightness, and home/end/pgup/pgdn functions are disabled. I'm convinced this was an intentional decision by MS.
