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 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)
I only communicate with internal employees, so we’re all in the same network with company issues laptops. I even tried the app on my phone for a while and that wasn’t any better so I ditched it
I’m honestly surprised anyone has had a good experience with Teams
Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.
Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.
I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.
I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.
Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.
I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.
Where did it say anything about a Ministry of Truth deciding what can be posted online? Making it illegal and having a 3rd party decide if every post is allowed are two very different things
If it’s illegal then there are ramifications for the platform, the user posting it, and the tool that created it.
Content moderation is already a thing so it’s nothing new. Just one more thing on the list to check for when a post is reported
Well, you’re about 20 years too late. It has already started
See any of the tor sites for examples of what is currently filtered out of the regular internet. It even gets your google account permanently banned if you log in via the tor browser
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.
A Colorado man who was placed on life support after he was bitten by his pet Gila monster died of complications from the desert lizard’s venom, an autopsy report obtained by The Associated Press on Friday confirmed....
Only some lizards are venomous. He probably picked it without worrying about the bite since their bite hasn’t killed anyone since 1930. Also probably didn’t realize he had liver problems.
Their bites aren’t usually life threatening on their own. Looks like this death was a bad combination of liver problems ontop of the bite itself.
This video is another critique of democrats vs republicans and how democrats offer a lot of lip service for being inclusive, fair, liberal, etc but have very lackluster results and end up being a lighter version of their republican counterparts instead of pushing liberal agendas that they ran on.
Owner occupancy won’t go up. Landlords are already occupying a place.
As far as passing the cost goes, it won’t be. Rent is already as high as it can be and will continue to go up as long as our regulations allow this artificial shortage to be maintained. See The End Hedge Fund Control of American Homes Act as an example.
As far as the damage goes, it’s pretty much counted on by landlords. Anything they do on the property counts as a tax deduction and the repairs are usually half asses at best. See “landlord special”.
And, in particular, the poorer renters have a massive incentive to take care of the place, as any unpaid damage gets them kicked off of housing assistance.
Furthermore, the law doesn’t blindly allow any and all pets for any reason. AB 2216 will require landlords to have reasonable reason(s) for not allowing a pet in a rental unit and only allows landlords to ask about pet ownership after a tenant’s application has been approved.
I think this is a good change overall. Landlords shouldn’t be allowed to tell their tenants how to live their lives.
As far as I can tell this is not a change in corporate policy but a desperate manager trying to improve sales metrics. But either way it’s underhanded and dishonest
If extra purchases are necessary then it’s dishonest. Especially if it’s advertised as free install with purchase of appliance.
The hoses should either be included in the price of the appliance or specified in the offer, ie: free install with purchase of appliance and accessories.
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.
Visual studio and visual studio code are not the same thing. Visual Studio is a full IDE and is expected to have those features and is clunky because of them. Or was, not sure where it is now. It’d be in the same category as netbeans, eclipsed, and intellij
Vs code is an enhanced lightweight text editor
Notepad++ is the original enhanced lightweight text editor
My point was that Notepad++ came out way before vs code and didn’t copy features from vs code.
Copied from an ide, sure? Not really a good comparison as they are solving two different problems
Most cities have a law where a car can only sit for X amount of days. It has to be moved occasionally.
If someone calls in an abandoned vehicle, they’ll put a tag under the wiper blade saying they’ll fine/tow on date that is X days from now and they might put a white chalk mark on the tire so they can tell if it’s moved and parked in the exact spot again
If it hasn’t moved after X days from the notice then it gets towed.
Edit: this is for parking on a public street. Parking in your driveway/garage/private spot does not have these restrictions.
How many dogs are roaming around biting everything that moves? That’s about the only time they should be publicly executed.
Obviously animals can be dangerous and all that but there is a clear lack of oversight on police officers actions and an almost non existent repercussion for wrong doings.
Dogs with regular violence issues are dealt with by animal control and a vet. They aren’t taken care of by a police officer emptying their gun into the animal in someone’s yard/home.
I am pointing out that dealing with animals falls under animal control. Not police officers. The exception being an in progress attack and even then a gun probably isn’t the best choice considering the animal would be next to/on the person it’s attacking.
The article points out that the reason is unclear. Based on what we know about how police offers act, how police departments respond, what punishments they face, and how they update their procedures/trainings, it draws a clear conclusion.
The reasons for the high number of pet killings by law enforcement are not clear. Some factors include mistaken identity, warrantless searches, lack of training, and legal protections for police officers when using force, including against animals[1].
In addition to that, the police were in plain clothes and unannounced and his partner provided false testimony as well.
“ Goldschmidt testified that, despite not being nearby during Wallace and Crumbaker’s confrontation, he could see that Crumbaker’s hands were at his sides when Wallace punched him. Goldschmidt said he rushed to Crumbaker’s aid and told the jury, “I think he’s dead at this point, he’s just still.”
