Good Bye Old Friend

The universal scapegoat of the tech world strikes again! When your Windows crashes, your Microsoft Office subscription expires unexpectedly, or that weird bug appears after an update — just blame Bill Gates. Never mind that he hasn't actively run Microsoft since 2008. The best part? This excuse works equally well for non-tech people trying to explain why their printer isn't working and senior developers who can't figure out why their legacy code is suddenly failing. It's the tech equivalent of "the dog ate my homework" — except everyone nods in understanding.

Visual Studio Code from the future is apparently just an AI delivery system now. The "many updates" in the March 2025 release can be summarized as: AI, AI, AI, AI, AI, and... wait for it... AI! Microsoft's subtle approach to feature diversity is truly inspiring. Why bother with performance improvements, bug fixes, or new developer tools when you can just repeat "AI" six times and call it a day? Coming in version 2.0: Your code now writes itself while simultaneously reporting everything you do to Skynet. But hey, at least it autocompletes your semicolons correctly!

Content r/developersindia Join u/Teleyks • Fresher • 12h Azure - racked up a masiive bill of 34,000 USD / 28 lakhs INR - HELP Help 1 am doing my undergrad in ENTC and for one my projects I tried to use Azure Open Al services. I first used the free trial which got over almost immediately and then I picked the pay as you go subscription because there was no other option available. I tried to deploy chat gpt 3.5 but didn't connect to any API and didn't use any tokens either. Even completions didn't show anything. Before using azure I did watch a hour long deployment videos none of which mentioned these costs and these costs were not visible. I also set a 20 USD limit on my credit card and thought that any charges would be automatically cancelled since I've set this limit and so the amount CANT go through but realised later that the bill cycle was monthly and I was wrong. A week after creation of this, I rechecked my azure account only to realise that there was a 28 lakhs bill. I have since deleted the resource and deployments. After some research I found out that I picked the PTU option and not the standard. And that has charged me hourly for a week straight. I have raised a ticked to Microsoft. I am unemployed and in university and I don't have any way of acquiring this kind of money. Please help

Microsoft's "brilliant" business strategy exposed! 🧠💰 Step 1: Pay engineers to build something Step 2: Fire those same engineers Step 3: Make the product open source Step 4: Watch the now-unemployed engineers maintain it for free Step 5: Profit The ultimate corporate galaxy brain move - why pay for labor when you can exploit passion projects and community goodwill? Nothing says "we value developers" quite like turning your workforce into unpaid volunteers!

Behold, the evolution of power levels in Windows! Regular "Run" is just some guy casually jogging through life with zero permissions. "Run as administrator" puts on a business suit and suddenly has the confidence to modify registry keys. But "Run as SYSTEM"? That's when your computer literally bows down before you. And then there's the FINAL FORM: "Run as TrustedInstaller" – the mythical god-tier permission level that makes even SYSTEM look like a peasant. You know you've reached peak Windows wizardry when you're running stuff as TrustedInstaller, the account so powerful that Windows itself is like "wait, are you SURE you want to do this?" Spoiler alert: you probably shouldn't, but you're gonna do it anyway because that one stubborn file refuses to delete.
