I’m not the only one that doesn’t like Slack! Teams isn’t great but I do prefer it. Sadly.

It’s being used because they’re already paying for MS Enterprise.

I would give almost anything to just be able to rename a Sharepoint folder as an alias for myself. I have so many Documents - x folders that all look the same but are vastly different. Arg!!

But only 15. Yeah, I hit that limit regularly. I just want to out things in folders. That would be a major improvement.

I must be the only one who prefers Teams over Slack. I just don’t like its design. Nothing makes sense to me in how it operates. But then again, Trams runs fine for me. No slow downs or deleting things that others have mentioned.

There are places on the US that have a similar thing going on. I can get my fiber from 2 ISPs, same line. I can also turn it off or on when I want and I can pay month to month on either. However, this is super rare here.

The real problem is that the US has allowed corporations to make laws and basically run the infrastructure. We need some serious lobbying overhaul or outright ban and lawmakers and judges to have a damn backbone to those with $. It’s ridiculous.

1.9TB is our high and that’s with 2 adults and 3 data hungry kids. 7TB!? Good lord!

Matter over Thread is similar to Z-Wave at the user level and supports a lot more device types. The below is from Silicon Labs

• Application layer: Matter is an IP-based application layer protocol that can uses lower layers from other technologies such as Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Thread. Z-Wave is complete protocol covering physical layer to application layer Its a non-IP MESH protocol that uses sub-GHz ISM bands.

• Device types: Matter supports a broader range of device types than Z-Wave, including cameras, speakers, TVs, and more. Z-Wave focuses on low bandwidth devices that require low power and reliable communication, such as security systems, sensors, switches, and locks.

• Security: Matter provides end-to-end encryption, device certification, and cloud integration, which can enhance the security and privacy of smart home devices. Z-Wave also offers encryption and device authentication, but it does not have a built-in cloud service.

• Compatibility: Matter is compatible with popular voice assistants and other IP-based devices, which can make it easier to integrate with existing smart home ecosystems. Z-Wave requires a Z-Wave specific gateway or hub, but has a large number of compatible devices that work together.

No, it’s a waste of time and resources. Kids will find a way, they ALL do.

Unless they’re strong arming their buyers it isn’t an issue. It’s business. Of course the EU is kind of showing they don’t understand how business or economies work lately.

Mastodon. Easily better than Twitter in every way, even when it wasn’t full of garbage. Can’t say the same for Lemmy, it’s not bad, and in some ways better but in some ways worse.

They really are. Popcorn lung is a thing with vapers. Plus I don’t want to inhale their nasty nicotine on accident. They need to have some damn respect for people around them instead of blatant selfishness. That’s the line for me.

Look up popcorn lung. Vaping is not better than smoking.

It’s not a secret. Ask any medical professional and they’ll tell you about popcorn lung. Vaping is worse in many ways. Look, don’t suck non “air” into your lungs. Pollution is bad enough for us. We don’t need to make it worse.

Right. Good salespeople listen to customers, not try to sell them something they a) don’t need or b) won’t work as advertised.

They were on the path of self driving cars till Musk pulled the plug on the LiDAR and opted for cameras (cost less). He is directly responsible for why autopilot isn’t so auto.

Hate to break it to you Indonesia but you have zero clout in this relationship. I don’t think Google nor Apple care.

So Lada quality. Got it.

Honestly, even 3 isn’t enough at times and I’m not doing anything crazy. Mostly Chrome, Teams, WhatsApp (ugh), Outlook, and Excel (god, so much excel).

I mean, there are all kinds of creatures in the soil, why not under the sea floor? We’ve known about fish, etc hiding in it as it is. This isn’t that much of a stretch. Very cool to actually see it though.
