Old school…Office communicator.

You can like it but I have no idea why. Even if you exclusively use it as a chat app…it sucks. The most recent message is always pulled up/down(depends on settings). The nomenclature is terrible. Go to the ‘whatever team’ in Teams and post a message in the ‘whatever channel’. Saying that verbally to somebody makes it even less clear.

The notifications settings are woefully lacking. Somebody created a chat in the wrong Team? Can you move it? Nope. Had a productive conversation about something that you want to save? Can you export that chat? Nope.

Mind you these are all features in the top 20 or so of most voted on feature request in the Teams community website. So people really want them.

This is mostly a settings thing controlled by the admins but all of our messages auto delete after 60 days. So going back to double check that thing somebody said? Nope. Didn’t write it down elsewhere because it wasn’t important…until it was. That export chat feature would be super handy…

The only place I’ve ever seen that huge Kirkland bottle is in a workplace. I don’t even have pain killers in my house right now…also American.

Let’s get this out of the way…I use windows, Mac, and Linux for various things. There is a ‘Select When Quality Updates Are Received’ in group policy editor (sorry home edition users) that allows you to delay the feature updates by a year. You still get the monthly security patches. My win11 box just updated to 23H2 and not 24H2. That gives me plenty of time to figure out how to unfuck what’s coming down the pipe.

I buy almost exclusively physical media. I don’t care about streaming so crunchy roll was just a thing I ignored. Then they bought like everything… Funimation and Rightstuf/Nozomi being the largest. I use to have probably a grand on preorder with rightstuf at any point in time. Talking easily 10K+ a year. I haven’t bought a damn thing off crunchy roll’s site. I don’t care for the company and their site sucks. Which is saying something cause rightstuf’s site was slow and clunky but it was simple and got the job done. Crunchy roll’s store site is just a giant ad for their streaming service that they also happen to sell stuff on.

Also despise that I had to talk with customer support multiple times to get off their damn mailing lists that they just signed everybody up for because they converted rightstuf accounts. The ‘unsubscribe’ link in the email was broken…hell it’s probably still broken. Even though that violates laws…clearly they don’t care about those.

It’s just hard boiled eggs…not as appealing to look at but it’s fine.

It’s your internet. Who cancels that without already moving to another ISP? I work from home so not having internet even for short durations is a non-starter. Forcing me to talk to someone is an absolute waste of everyone’s time. They have a zero percent chance of keeping me because I already left. I just want the bills to stop for a service I disconnected from.

I understand the whole ‘game’ for pricing/discounts but when you legitimately are leaving then this is just dumb. I think the whole game around discounts is dumb too but that’s capitalism.

Not enough AI PC sales. They need to push it out anyway. Consume all the CPU and power they can and then market AI PC’s as a way to improve performance and lower your power bill.
