Gabe has stated several times that as long as he is running things he will never go public and let it get ruined like that.

Once he's gone though I suspect steam will sell for 18 quintillion dollars to Microsoft or something.

It'll probably go to shit immediately afterwards.

Dammit. I came in here to make the same joke.

That's a strange way of saying that 60% of the cuts will still lead to savings.

I was literally just talking to a buddy about dream tracks we wanted to drive. That's a photo and the link the website for the Japanese club that owns that private track.

It looks like so much fun to drive.

The data that needs to be fixed changes locations on the spreadsheet monthly. It's never the same two months in a row

Look I appreciate your trying to help, but after 3 months of calls and emails back and forth with several people at Microsoft as well as our company's 3rd party IT guys (I'm the in house IT guy) we have just determined that the only way to get it done is to have me spend a couple hours once a month un fucking the data that excel chewed up.

It is what it is.

I'm shocked I tell you. Shocked.

The data is different every month. It's not consistent month to month so it can't be automated in any way.

The program generates a report for us once a month. It can be generated as an excel file or as another file type which we cannot use. When it generates the excel file it breaks a bunch of numbers that are used often and all throughout our data as excel thinks they are dates. When we try and reverse any of those numbers in all the many ways people have recommended the data never goes back all correctly. So I have to manually replace the data cell by cell afterwards.

We are unable to preemptively format any settings in excel to prevent this from happening.

There once was a beta version of excel that had the exact feature we need (excel leaves all data untouched unless told otherwise), but for some godforsaken reason Microsoft got rid of that setting.

I have had an untold number of coders and Microsoft experts look at this problem. There is nothing that can be done.

Program 1 cannot be changed as the job requires it and it will only automatically spit out into excel. Excel immediately breaks several numbers across the spreadsheet by turning them into dates. Nobody at Microsoft can get the sheets to revert back into the original data correctly. Nothing can be done to preemptively format excel not to fuck the dates.

Based off their reactions to every thing that's being going on it seems to me that they have learned absolutely nothing.

If the 2028 election was happening tomorrow I think the Democrats would lose again.

Playing Tarkov on a screen that size might as well be impossible lol.

Imagine trying to spot killa power sliding across the halls of interchange in the dark fog from 150 meters out. Good fuckin luck lol.

Microsoft.

And it's almost entirely because of excel.

We have a program that automatically outputs an excel document every month. I then have to go into this document and unfuck all the data that excel decided to turn into dates. There is no way to format the file before the program spits out the excel doc. There is now way to reverse the change and have it go back to the original data correctly.

I have spent countless hours on the phone with Microsoft support and digging around forums trying to make it stop breaking our data, but I have been told by multiple Microsoft support employees that it is impossible.

I did find out that there used to be a beta version of excel back in like 2017 where you could change a setting that forced your excel to leave all day alone until told to do something with it, but they never finished it and it was eventually removed as a setting.

WHY WOULD YOU TAKE AWAY THAT ABILITY MICROSOFT. WHY.

No it's only fascist when other people do it.

/s

I am a little worried how many people don't see any issue with this kinda thing.

Microsoft what the fuck are you doing.

You fucking idiot's.

Fair point. Still the medias fault for the decrease of trust imo

I made my Lemmy account the day I got reddit banned. So the age of this account is how long ago they nuked my accounts lol

My little brother said the same thing. I think you're both right. Clearly that wasn't enough to push the deal through though.

You don't need to merge with Nissan to do that if you're Honda. Just buy out their design team. Much cheaper lol.

Edit: spelling

Every single right leaning person I know LOVES several movies and shows that have main characters that aren't white men.

The boondocks, blade series, basically anything Morgan Freeman or Samuel L Jackson have done, Lando, Morpheus and uncle Phil off the top of my head.

I am aware there are the super racist far right guys that probably can't even watch Scooby Doo because the dog is brown, but the grand majority of "right wing" people aren't white supremacists that lose their shit if a character isn't white in their movies and shows. Even if that's what some people here might tell you is the case.
