Total number of businesses maybe, but they account for something like two thirds of all employees.
You can’t really say it’s much of a business IT stack if it’s just a single freelancer using a Mac.
They wouldn’t be setting up teams in the first place.
“lots of businesses operate on macOS”
No, they definitely do not. If you go into any business in Canada or the US with more than 200 employees, they are running windows on the computers sitting in front of every office drone they have.
Very specific industries or business may, especially those who are stuck on Adobe’s software, but “lots” is extremely far from the truth.
There’s no mass exodus towards Linux in the business user space.
It’s still 99.9% Microsoft Windows.
Lync, not Lynx.
And technically Lync got birthed from the corpse of Office Communicator, not MSN messenger.
I quite literally teach and consult on Teams, and have for 8 years now. I worked with Lync, Skype for Business, and Communicator before that.
People complain about it all the time, and yet… I’ve never had any significant issues with it.
Other than M365 outages, which impact everyone, I’ve never seen it crash. I’ve never had issues not loading. I’ve never had sound or sharing issues that couldn’t be resolved by clicking the dropdown and selecting the correct option.
It can be a bit slow, especially loading file related stuff, but it’s not any worse than a network drive.
Placeholder avatars in different parts of the App? Teams doesn’t even support task assignment, tasks are handled in MS Planner which is an entirely different product that just happens to be visible inside Teams if you want.
Touch? Mac? Airpods? What the fuck are you doing? You aren’t doing real business tasks if you’re using an iPad.
Maybe the people with problems are the ones running 10 year old hardware with a barely supported operating system?
For profit news was always a bad idea.
Just the same as its a bad idea for prisons and hospitals.
For profit companies should sell clothes, and cars, and movies. Luxuries where consumer choice is easy.
Yes
Too much credit, that’s 4th grade at best.
I thought the argument from the right is always that it’s the person not the tool that’s at fault?
It isn’t the same thing, the scale and level of violence are not even close to comparable. That’s why it’s a false equivalence.
Just because two people steal something doesn’t make them the same, if one person stole a chocolate bar and the other one stole a 10 million dollar jewel they are not equal. They’re both thieves, but they aren’t “just the same”
You said “just like Trump”
That is false equivalence.
The things that happened under Biden and Clinton are nowhere near as bad as what’s happening now.
There are so many internal threats to the US from a Canadian invasion.
Then there’s the Canadians who would sneak into the US during such an event, either for safety or to cause problems. No functional amount of US military presence could protect any useful amount of it, and once across the border blending in is super fucking easy.
Then we’ll just recreate 1812 and burn the White House down after we evacuate all the people.
It wouldn’t be quite as bad as a full US civil war, but it would be damn close.
No it doesn’t. Plenty of people do it out of fear or even laziness.
You realize the animals in the wilderness kill each other constantly and frequently starve to death when the slightest thing goes wrong, right?
Watering the tree of liberty if I recall correctly.
To water the tree of liberty with?
Beef then chicken -Trump
False equivalency is bad.
They are not the same.
We’d like Hawaii for a First Round Pick in 2026 and a Second Round Pick in 2027
I don’t see your argument against teams.
It sounds like:
“It’s all together in one place, how dare they.”
At this point I don’t even bother using the desktop version of outlook, the web app is easier for emails and my calendar is in teams.
You act like cloud services are bad, they aren’t. If they were terrible, people would be switching away from them. They’re adding value beyond their cost and everyone knows it.
Could Microsoft be better at some things? Sure.
But they’re already far better than the alternative, which is a janky ass system of 30 different products from 30 different vendors.
