  • I use it 5 days a week for work and don’t have connectivity problems.

    These issues are company wide and are not unique to me. I would switch isp providers if that would solve the issue. It’s bad enough that if you want a new computer you just talk to tech support about the issues and they’ll send you a new one since they can’t fix it (not that the new laptops work any better with teams)

    Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

    The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

    It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

    Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

    Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

    Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

    And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

    And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

    I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

    And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅


  • I agree. It’s a terrible idea for many reasons. The fact that we can’t trust something like that to run in good faith is among the top of those reasons.

    The comment I was responding to was saying this proposed law would strip our ability to speak our mind because it would create a new 3rd party group that would validate each post before allowing them online.

    I was pointing out that making specific content illegal is not the same as having every post scrutinized before it goes live.





  • You’re getting played if you don’t use one. All those rewards are not from the people racking up credit card debt, it’s from swipe fees.

    If you don’t use a credit card you pay the same price as the ones paying with a card, except the ones with a card get rewards. The ones without pay extra since stores charge extra to cover the fee

    They even lobbied successfully to prevent merchants from passing this on to credit card customers. Which means they pass it on to all customers instead.

    The fees are currently capped at 2.5% but that’s just for the swiped. There are other fees as well that end up costing the merchant more.
