I’ve got plenty of bandwidth, low latency to all the web servers involved, and a fast modern computer but To-Do still takes an unacceptably long time to load. Let’s just say the issue here’s that it’s not designed with conservative web development in mind the web app loads 120 different resources and weighs in at 3,3 MB. The webpage takes over 10–15 seconds to load in a modern web browser. Instead I’ll stick to just discussing the parts that made me leave the service: its reliability, sync, and data portability problems. I wanted to write a review of Microsoft To-Do for a long time but I’ve had so much problems with synchronization in To-Do that I never got around to it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work reliably enough to get anything done. The user experience design is solid, and I like most things about the service. I’ve given up on getting organized using Microsoft To-Do after trying to use it for ten months. It has just the right number of features so you can focus on getting things checked off your task lists rather than focusing on managing your lists. Next, Redmond plans to increase the daily cap to 100 total chats and ensure that normal searches will no longer count against the total number of chats.Microsoft To-Do is a nice looking multi-platform task manager built around a workflow that I’ve found helpful for prioritizing and completing tasks. Microsoft also says chat limits (5 chat turns per session and a total of 50 per day) that were introduced on Friday to address Bing Chat's confusing and, at times, aggressive replies have now been expanded to allow for a more "natural daily use of Bing." Starting today, the number of chat turns has been increased to six per session, to 60 chats per day.

"The goal is to give you more control on the type of chat behavior to best meet your needs." BleepingComputer reports: We are "going to begin testing an additional option that lets you choose the tone of the Chat from more Precise - which will focus on shorter, more search focused answers - to Balanced, to more Creative - which gives you longer and more chatty answers," the Bing Team said. Once the new option is available, you can choose between precise, balanced, or creative replies from Redmond's AI-powered Bing chat bot. Microsoft will start testing Bing Chat tones, enabling users to switch between receiving answers that are either more creative or more focused on their queries.
