  • 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 😅



  • 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



  • 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].







  • I’m assuming you’re from the us since you mentioned pto.

    Are the benefits equal other than the pay? Or are you taking an increase in pay and losing pto, healthcare, 401k, etc?

    If you lose out on other benefits I would pass. The 25% pay bump won’t count for much if your healthcare cost is non existent or so over priced it may as well be.

    Work life balance and a pto are crucial for your health and life in general. I’d recommend avoiding work places that don’t value work life balance if possible. Unfortunately it’s hard to gauge their sincerity here before you join.

    If the benefits are about the same and you get a 25% bump in pay then it’s worth the risk.
