    Static crackles in the astronaut’s helmet as he makes his way onto the red soil. A message pops up on his display. “Hey, got a sec for a quick teams call?”

    Just started at a place that uses teams. The window always says I have two unread messages. I don’t.

      If you go to notifications and filter by unread you will probably be able to find what it is

      Probably missed calls. It’ll keep showing a notification bubble in both activity and calls until you bother clicking the missed call as if that makes any difference or sense to anyone or anything but the notification counter.

          Yeah, those don’t work well with Outlook. I get an e-mail from Microsoft telling me to login to the web version only to see that someone put a 👍 on my e-mail. It completely defies the purpose.

          Microsoft really knows how to keep office workers occupied doing nothing at all.

    Bugs or organisme from earth.

    It would means we have already contaminate this environment and we won’t be able to tell if any discovered life form came from mars or from contamination.

      Here’s a fun one. We find an archive. Stored in a form durable enough to last eternity, we find a vault, the last remnant of some long-forgotten Martian civilization.

      They include the usual history, culture, historical artifacts, etc. But what shocks our explorers most of all? The biological archive. DNA sequences, freeze dried tissue samples, etc. Their language, once cracked, reveals the truth.

      This isn’t just a library or archive to remember the Martians. They knew they were on a slowly dying world. They never got rocket technology, though they did master advanced biology before the end. So they included everything needed to revive them, to actually bring them back from the dead.

      Then we have to figure out what to do. This isn’t the dodo bird or some other species we, humanity, are responsible for killing off. The Martians died of natural causes a billion years before our ancestors crawled out of the water. We have no ancestral moral debt to the Martians.

      Sure, we could bring them back. But think through the implications of that. Mars is their world, the very planet we were planning to colonize. Will they want it back, maybe ask to live on Earth in the millennia it takes to teraform it? And even then, we’ll now have a literal alien civilian right on our doorstep. Do we really want to open that Pandora’s Box?

      I was introduced to the concept of the moral dilemma of bringing back extinct aliens from Isaac Arthur, and it’s a scenario I truly love.

        Given how humans treat humans probably better to keep them extinct.

        Like if they were all hot female big titty race lots of humans would be receptive but species supremacy groups will rise.

    I have to use Teams for work and it baffles me how unbelievably bad the interface is. Everything that should be easy and quick to do is made difficult and time consuming. Every time you try to do something simple you’d expect to be able to, it is blocked or limited in such a way that you can’t do it and you have to find a workaround. It fights you in every way it can whenever you’re trying to accomplish something. You also have to sign in with two factor authentication multiple times every day. I don’t understand how this so-called “productivity” suite is even tolerated by private companies. It cripples productivity.

      While I agree the UI needs some work, getting prompted for MFA multiple times a day for just using Teams chat and meetings is not normal.

          Your IT has set up Conditional Access policies with a Sign-in Frequency set too low (it should really be labeled as a period, because it defines the time period that will occur before reauthentication is required). For regular users like all of you, forcing reauthentication that many times each day is excessive and just cruel on the users. They maybe thought it would make them super secure, but it only trains the users that MFA is an annoyance rather than an important security feature.

          It’s a setting that can easily be changed, so make some noise and see if you can get some feedback passed through your org structure to IT.

            I don’t think I’ve ever had to sign into Teams (PR Outlook, for that matter) in my desktop. Mobile, I have to after changing my password. I assumed all the MS apps signed me in with my domain login on my laptop. On weird issue I have is things like SharePoint and Dynamics 365 asking me to sign in again after its already brought up the site, and clicking the button to do it just brings a blank pop-up that immediately disappears and I’m logged “for real” I guess.

              Yeah that’s usually the case, but some orgs don’t domain join devices cause they are bad.

              Also the dynamics blank popup thing is your windows auth working

          I’ve worked at different places that used Teams, and that thing with having to re- login regularly is certainly fault of whoever administers Teams within your organization.

          Yep. I sign in once when the app is opened (which happens automatically as I’m logged into the computer as my Entra ID) and then am never prompted again until I close and reopen Teams.

          Something is misconfigured in the environment, or there is a security policy that is set way too high, or one is scoped incorrectly. It is definitely not the normal or expected user experience.

          Teams has a lot of faults, but that one is on your org’s admins and security team. Hopefully for you it’s a mistake and not done intentionally.

        You can get multiple sign in requests if you change devices regularly. It’s common to require authentication any time you change device

          Not in my experience. I sign into lots of different systems every day and run Teams on all of them, and I never see any MFA prompts so long as I’m on a managed asset. Every system logs in to Teams automatically just by opening the Teams app.

          Now, if you’re talking about a pinned app or SharePoint link or something once you’re in the app, maybe. But default chat and meetings should be the same experience, in terms of authentication workflow for the user, as launching and using Outlook.

    There are no Teams servers on Mars and the client will time out before radio signals can reach Earth. So any copies of Microsoft Teams on Mars are just a waste of storage space, and not very terrifying compared to “actual” malware that could be in the same storage space.
