Meh. I would not take either. In fact I actually didn’t. I went to a showroom and got inside their EVs and PHEVs while looking for a car. My immediate reaction after sitting in the driver’s seat of their PHEV was “I don’t want to drive this”. Same thing with the pure EV. I’ll give you the wheel, but those A/C controls next to the “shifter” are touch surfaces instead of actual buttons, and they’re just as annoying and worthless as touchscreen controls. Which is sad because those cars have fantastic stats on paper and very competitive prices. Unfortunately most EVs on the market have fucking stupid interior designs. Very often you have to choose between affordable and well designed. Not very many that are both.

In the end I decided not to buy a new car at all. Still got my 2015 Leon.

BYD cars don’t have very many buttons either. See here. They’re tablets on wheels too. I quite dislike BYD interiors.

Here’s a real and true story about how separate Microsoft teams communicate and coordinate:

Few weeks ago, some Microsoft team from the US deprecated some critical service used by other Microsoft products. They just shut it off without notifying anyone. Other teams from other Microsoft offices in the rest of the world found about this deprecation when their production builds started failing to log customers in to the applications that they need for their businesses. People were called in from their vacations, emergency meetings were held to play hot potato with responsibility. Clients were PISSED. I stopped following the drama before it was resolved.

What does she think of Microsoft Teams?

That was said by some random Microsoft employee who had no official capacity to say something like that, and the whole thing sounded like they meant to say “latest” anyway. It is and was a worthless statement that got way more attention than it deserved.
