   Have been handed a Windows 11 device for the first time after ~32 years using Apple devices.

   May I just say: if this is how the majority of the world is treated by their computers, I don’t know why there haven’t been more Unabombers.

     For a good (?) time, I’ve spent the afternoon sending cheerful earnest messages to the IT helpdesk…

     “Where’s the unified inbox in Outlook?”
     “How do I turn off ‘Co-Pilot’?”
     “What’s the Windows version of Time Machine for automated backups?”
     “What’s the difference between One Drive and Sharepoint?”
     “Why are there two Outlook apps?”
     “Why are there three Teams apps?”
     “What’s the difference between Control Panel and Settings?”

     Everyone tho: ok, how do you live without a unified inbox?

     (I aspire for this to be like one of those Reddit threads where Americans learn Europeans don’t have to pay for healthcare.)

     I feel like I get about 24 hours of getting away with this before they shut me up with a MacBook.
