Microsoft can't afford to proofread the slide decks for their HIGH PROFILE PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS by the CEO any more.

@cstross

Also a typo that literally every word processor would put a squiggly line under

@eedly @cstross
"They've clearly stopped giving a F."

No notes. *APPLAUSE*

@cstross This might just be me, but the capitalisation also does not seem to follow any reasonable logic/style.

[masek@infosec.exchange]

@cstross I don’t think they used AI. Even that is better at that .

[martin@social.mdosch.de]

@masek@infosec.exchange
But looks like the guy is ai slop. Look at the hands.

@cstross That's why my "Surace Laptop" runs on Linux now.

[vak@c.im]

@cstross at least their LLM has spellcheck turned off..

[uilebheist@polyglot.city]

@cstross Next time they'll add the missing letter: "Moist ports".

[thriftwicker@mastodon.social]

@cstross I hope they go completely tits up when the bubble pops. Talk about a paradigm shift.

[cinebox@masto.hackers.town]

@cstross also please let “most ports” be the new tech trend it would be so funny

[scott@sfba.social]

@Uilebheist @cstross ah yes and who isn’t excited for experiencing the moist farts on a surace plopplop? I know I am!

Oops sorry I accidentally dogfooded the AI and it further degraded the presentation

Oh well at least we used a bunch more tokens!! #ReturnOfClippy

[eedly@mindly.social]

@Uilebheist My eyes keep correcting that as "moist parts"

@cstross

[flexplate@mas.to]

@HeptaSean @cstross Surface Laptop is a specific model so it gets a pass, but "Most" should be lower case. But then it'd look weird because of how much they de-emphasised the "The". I think whatever they did it'd look goofy, but they obviously don't care anyway given "surace".

[markotway@mastodonapp.uk]

@cstross Missing the main point too - wgaff how many ports a laptop has? Give me 2 or 3 USB-C ports and I have everything I could ever need. Do Microsot (sic) still think it's the 90s?

[zzt@mas.to]

@cstross 3 entirely different font styles, and it looks like they don’t line up on the left margin or have sensible line width between them

maybe that’s minor compared with the obvious but this slide keeps getting worse every time I see it

[fooker@infosec.exchange]

@markotway @cstross Most ports isn't important. But at least give me a full sized hdmi and a type A for a mouse or thumbdrive.
At home I have all I need, customers and conferences.. not so much.

[daswarkeinhuhn@netzkae.se]

@cstross@wandering.shop Surace 🤌

[bstacey@icosahedron.website]

@cstross "Surace" to rhyme with "Versace"

[bstacey@icosahedron.website]

[zzt@mas.to]

@cstross also, to beat a dead horse:

(The)
Most ports
_ever on a Surace Laptop_

and then directly underneath that there’s a giant image of the side of the laptop that has noticeably fewer ports, and the side with more ports (still fewer than a thinkpad but whatever, I realize they think they’re going after Apple) is in shadow and framed so you see much less of it
