I have an excel VBA macro that can find emails that outlook says don't exist

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 20 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know what the hell happened to outlook's search function with the update to 11, but I'm convinced it was actual sabotage.

Outlook insists that no one has ever sent me anything. If I search for an email from a specific person, that person doesn't exist. Unless sometimes they do. The first three letters of their last name, out of order? Fine, can find them no problem unless you're looking for when they sent you an attachment. Then no.

Copy and pasting their name in to the search bar? Who the fuck you talking about guy??

Looking for an email that has "and" in the subject line?

Here's every email you have with the letter A in it. Hope this helps! By the way have you tried CLAUDE?!

[–] d00ery@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Yah, I had a similar thought regarding Google and the SEO which changed recipes into page long stories about the author's grandmother. Instead of wading through all the text to find the ingredients, just use ai.

[–] yesh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 17 hours ago

Please share!!

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 30 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

That's easy, you start in the first folder, look at each email until you find the one you need. If you reach the bottom and haven't found the mail, move to the next folder and repeat.

For most that shouldn't take more than 3 to 5 workdays.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Bro, I have 900 unread emails alone. Ill be done in 3 weeks.

Making CEOs use their product live is a great idea. It'll never happen because it's a great idea.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 2 points 12 hours ago

Use? Their livelihood should depend on using functions of their app. "Couldn't find that email in two mins? Sorry you just lost 100K."

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Tell that to the McDonald’s CEObot

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I would pay money to see the McDonald's CEO eat an entire McDonald's burger product in a single sitting with zero camera cuts.

[–] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 4 points 20 hours ago

Would be interesting for the CEOs of businesses that make BDSM products.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago
[–] demizerone@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Do it while being asked by a middle manager if you saw the email last week. Fucking story of my life.

[–] Supercrunchy@programming.dev 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Life pro tip that will make your IT deparment hate you: you can use Evolution and change the client id to match outlook's one in the advanced settings. It'll look like you are using the standard outlook client from your IT department point of view, but you'll actually get a usable interface instead. I assume that thunderbird has the same options to override the client id, but I haven't checked.

Don't blame me if you get in troubles though.

Make Elon Musk sit atop one of his shitty rockets the next time it launches.

[–] redsand@infosec.pub 2 points 11 hours ago

It feels like he has to Titan submarine himself at this point. Maybe it'll be a cybertruck

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

SpaceX rockets are all but shitty, but you can claim it's despite Musk's involvement. Since it's been known he fires all the capable engineers who disagree with him.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

In fairness, the Falcon 9 / Dragon capsule systems are solid and reliable, with good track records.

So its not literally all SpaceX stuff.

But... yeah, the Starship/HeavyBooster is what happens when Elon is in charge, utter shit show.

And also, the Falcon 9 family never actually got close to the cost reductions Elon initially said would be delivered by the re-usability paradigm.

It would have to be roughly an order of magnitude less expensive, for a ton to orbit, than what it currently is, to match what he said it would achieve.

as 18107 says, yeah, at various Musk companies, their have been people whose main job was primarily to distract him from getting involved very directly, but this has apparently stopped being a thing.

Just go find the conversation he had with some of the high ups on the Twitter team, when he took it over.

He just knows buzzwords, beyond that, probably most of the people in this thread are more intelligent than he is, on literally any subject... he has no idea how anything works beyond a very big picture / conceptual level.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

This is what I was claiming, too.

You remind me of the recent declaration about launching data servers in orbit.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

God, don't get me started on orbital data centers.

Either you cause kessler syndrome by launching a million microsats, or, you just I guess invent scifi level orbital engineering, and come up with a scifi solution for thermal regulation.

Also like, server databases require, you know, on site maintenance.

... its a very dumb, expensive idea.

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 13 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I heard there was a person hired specifically to keep Elon away from the critical areas so he doesn't try to overrule a decision and destroy the company.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

There was the whole department for it at Tesla, that's why their previous stuff was basically functional. Then something happened and they failed or got disbanded, and that's how cybertruck happened.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Probably give him a few easy to spot ‘problems’ to overrule, so that he doesn't meddle with the important things.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

More than one, apparently

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 47 points 1 day ago

I prefer he sits at the bottom better.

[–] Bieren@lemmy.today 47 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Make the servicenow ceo search for something in their product. Anything. Not even in a case. Just use the product.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 day ago

Service-Now CEO would be the middle piece in my human centipede

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

sorry, but he's too busy trying to figure out where else to shove ai

Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

[–] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I don’t know. Between him and the CEO of Atlassian, I think the last will have more trouble. But… why not both?

[–] CTDummy@piefed.social 51 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

Bro why is Atlassian actually so shit? Two of their open facing tickets I came across last night. One for them to fix table rendering in the description field of tickets and the other to enable the option for collapsable fields in Confluence to be expanded by default.

Both were the better portion of a decade old and both with 1-2 year old updates saying “sorry we’ve taken so long to provide an update on this request”. The confluence one was closed without word and move to another ticket, reducing the votes/views and therefore dev priority. Such basic functionality left unaddressed for a decade. Bizzare-o world with some of these tech companies I swear.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

collapsible fields doesn't improve shareholder value

[–] CTDummy@piefed.social 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah and it doesn’t help when the new (as of ~2 years ago) dev ops lead is an “AI first” type. I get all that but like 4 years in, tell us to get fucked “your fields are remaining forever collapsed”. 8 god damn years the initial confluence ticket was open.

I came across it while setting up a wiki page last night, there were people who had been monitoring it for years. Some real “abandon hope all ye who enter” type shit.

[–] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Every time they add the feature, half of the product breaks. The other half start using twice as much memory and compute, somehow.

They've got a pile of technical debt disguised as a product and the development velocity of the snail as a consequence. Very typical. The real question is "why hasn't the competition eaten their lunch already".

Not only that but make him eat a McDonald's hamburger

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

wouldn't they just ask Copilot?

and trust whatever it says

[–] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly copilot search of emails is definitely a step up to the outlook search... Which doesn't say much...

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

That's the plan. They have so much put into copilot and no one is willing to use it. I wouldn't be surprised if they fucked over search to make it happen, but outlook search has always been an unusable POS

[–] RunJun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Outlook search has gotten way worse in the past year + 🤬

[–] lemming741@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's still bad, but you can save an ounce of sanity by keeping a copy of everything locally.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 1 day ago

I only ever used it in the past because it was at work and that was the only allowed option.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Surely he has 3 assistants for that.

[–] Greg@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 1 day ago

WeAreDevelopers conference 2025, CEO of GitHub was vibe coding for the last time as a CEO of GitHub.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Next can we get a super cut of the CEO using teams to connect to a few different meetings? Sure it might be fine a couple times in a row but that software is such dogshit in general.
