In the past few years, my workplace has used Webex, Zoom and Teams. I definitely hate that we're using Teams now because the others are better when it comes to meetings. Teams is unusable for me half the time while the others just worked. Lag spike during the call? Now the microphone doesn't work. Or it will work but no one can understand you while you talk.

Now, instead of debugging the code, you have to debug the data. Sounds worse.

  1. "Repair" computer.
  2. Use MS Edge for the first time.
  3. Use bing.com for the first time.
  4. Search for "best Linux distro for gaming".
  5. Ditch Windows.

Every update, some thing breaks. The "new" Teams does not work well with the microphone on my work laptop, I've had to resort to using headphones. The interface just sucks too. I hate that the left pane auto-hides now. So inconvenient. It's not just Teams too. Every part of Office has broken for us during previous updates. I miss the times when Windows was just an OS for the most part and MS was not trying hard to be Apple.

Oil companies really made hydrogen sound evil. Maybe that's what they wanted all along.

There are a lot of Linux talks, but I can't stand all the people who keep saying all this place talks about is Linux. They are the ones who are everywhere here.

By the way, I came back to reddit briefly for a very specific community and ever since the stock sale started getting this:

whoa there, pardner!

I hear Zuck once threatened to pull Meta out of the EU too. Musk is a real man though. No joke, he can probably be goaded to do it, just like how he got baited into buying Twitter in the first place.

We don't rip CDs anymore so you can store them as MP3s on your phone? People have forgotten how to do that? I'm getting old.

A porn actress was made accountable for similar actions in less time and with more impact.

How would cooling our jets help? I really like the idea of going into Linux, and the more MS pushes the subscription/rental model, the more I'm encouraged to do so. Corporations like to float their ideas to the media as a way of surveying the market. These rumors could be just that. The idea of building a Linux PC sounds fun. I never had the need for any of these subscription services. I have a backlog of games I own, my own HDDs, MP3s, from CDs or the like, that I bought. I don't need to pay yearly for those.

I remember a time Windows pushed a major update on my laptop as I was about to sleep. I wrote a routine that shuts down my laptop after about 30 minutes, so I can unplug the machine while Youtube or something is on as I fall asleep. Well, it backfired at that time as I had to re-awake after 30 minutes, and plug the machine back in. It was stuck at 30% for a while. "You're 30% there". I'm 30% there? It's not me, it's you, you stupid OS!
