the magic mouse is clearly a prank. i'm a mac user myself but there literally isn't a single valid reason to ever use one of those things, they're awful.

i don't mind using it too much but holy fuck the cpu usage. i work at a company that insists on pair programming via teams whenever possible which means that my cpu is totally maxed the entire time my screen is shared, cutting my productivity down by probably about 60%.

you could play dumb and ask what they mean when they say "regression", then ask if there's anything they need help with since the QA tickets are barely moving for the past month. pick some examples of the test cases you mentioned and ask if they ran into issues since it took [x days].
either they'll have a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything or it'll be very clear to everybody in the standup that they've been doing fuck all. -
ef is a shit solution in search of a problem, shoehorning it into projects just because a manager read about it on the internet does absolutely nothing useful and makes everything a fucking nightmare to work on.

@spongessuck probably more of a combination of the two than one or the other but yeah actually a large part of it is msbuild tbf
@PaperTrail yeah the sheer amount of dependencies upon dependencies upon dependencies with npm (and cargo too) is pretty messed up too to be fair, but i'll happily take 1000 mostly pointless dependencies that work over 20 dependencies that don't! -
this is definitely an opinion you could only have if you've only ever worked with .NET and/or ancient tech stacks from the early 00s
npm and cargo are just two major package managers i can think of off the top of my head that just do the very simple job they're designed to do and don't require you to dig through your drive deleting temporary folders and config files while spamming "clean" and "rebuild" and "restore packages" for literal hours and every time it says "Everything is up to date, there are no packages to restore" while you're being slapped in the face with 700 fake errors about how System.Object is undefined, so you keep scrolling through the infinite stackoverflow answers, all of which are different, until one of them randomly makes the project build
in other ecosystems that aren't just complete and utter dogshit, you can clone a repo, build it, and have it actually just gather the dependencies and build without crying about it or refusing to try -
why are you reading work messages on your days off?

8-9 hours. wake up around 8-8:30am, go to sleep around 11pm-12am

what's wrong with spending 5 hours on something that used to take 5 minutes before Microsoft created the solution to all of your problems with abstractions that nobody asked for which you have less control over and can't debug or easily troubleshoot when they inevitably don't work because Microsoft?
