Let’s see… if the same problem happens under Safari, then it’s Microsoft fault. If the problem goes away when Safari runs the Azure admin portal, it’s a Google issue.

Developers should have laptops with 1366x768 screens, 4GB if RAM, and dual-core Intel Atom processors. We keep giving them server grade hardware and expect them to empathise with the muggles that run their software on potatoes.

I used to support federal laws towards this end. However, now I think the advocacy needs to be updated for the era of LLMs, as developers can just let the testing chug away and come back later. (Note: I did not actually support such laws.)

For governments and services governments delegate to third parties, being usable by low-end machines is extremely important.

I always have to point out government services should not be designed to be efficient, but fair and universal. After they are fair and universal, THEN you can make them efficient, just as long as you don’t break fairness and universality.

Make that 1 or 2gb of ram, a 32gb emmc drive and a single core 2 thread original Atom

Or a single-core Raspberry Pi with 512MB and an SDCard ;-)

Testing should be on such laptops. Development, especially in things like xcode or visual studio would be insane

That would force vendors to make Visual Studio and Xcode same ;-)
