  Oof. Then that seems more on the ops side of things. Interesting. I can’t wait for them to never share what happened so we can all continue to speculate. 😂

  As someone that works in QA, yeah, they needed something to catch this. I saw someone mention somewhere without a source that they missed it as all test machines have their full suite of software installed. In that scenario, the computer wasn’t affected. So for QA it seems their labs might need to be more in tune with the user base.

  However, the fact that they are able to push this so quickly worldwide seems like a big process issue. I get 0 day issues and that is how they justify it. But deploy to a small subset of customers before going global seems more reasonable.

  I hadn’t given it much thought as so many of the legacy systems I worked with were case sensitive. But I’m with you. Except for passwords.

  This happened where I work. An inexperienced team was making changes to a shared code base. They made changes to make usernames case insensitive, without thinking about them ready being case sensitive. So if you logged in with user CAT123, you might get cat123’s info. And then I was left on the team that had to clean up their mess and find and understand the ikpact.

  I usually move the monitors around, the move my mouse to test it, until I avoid that, as perfectly aligning then with different resolutions doesn’t work. But yeah, totally know what you’re saying.

  That’s interesting. Windows 11 is the best multi monitor version of windows ever, in my experience. It “remembers” where apps were last used opens them there. While not perfect, I find it great that it handles more than one multiple monitor setup. I have 3 monitors at home and 2 at the office. I just plug in and they are always in the same alignment. Given how bad it was in previous versions, I’m impressed.
