How is ease of opt out versus opt in objectively measured?
Most of the time both options are presented clearly and within a few pixels from each other, but opt-in is usually slightly more eye catching and/or more appealing. But the effort in terms of distance for mouse movement or number of clicks is the same. While that’s a design trick that will improve % of opt-in, how can it be argued that the opt-out was not as “easy”?
What do we actually lose going from cloud back to ground?
The mass centralization is a massive attack vector for organized attempts to disrupt business in the west.
But we’re not doing anything about it because we’ve made a mountain at of a molehill. Was it that hard to manage everything locally?
I get that there’s plenty of security implications going that route, but it would be much harder to bring down t large portions of online business with a single attack.
Would this make it easier to consume and store Teams data locally, avoiding the need for tagging M365 Graph API, if the goal is to build analytics or automation on top of Teams for things my personal account has access to?
The game is great. URL is horribly hard to remember.
This is my third time having to come back to hacker news to search for it.
Yes I could bookmark, or be more deliberate about committing it to memory, instead I’d rather write this so you know what happens when you don’t see return visits going up.
2 XPS-13’s in the past few years. 1 with camera’s positioned at the bottom of the screen, which was the absolute worst design ever, unless you enjoyed showing off your nose hairs.
1 with the screen flicker and an issue with an internal fan that failed to start consistently which resulted an a blaring alarm. It would go off in the middle of the night.
The last one was replaced by a Dell XPS-15 (by my employer) which has worked fine.
I also own a personal XPS-15 that was my first Dell purchase ~3-4 years ago. It’s never had an issue and I do some heavy compute and web scraping.
I have a refurbished Dell Precision T-5600 with 128GB of RAM and 16 core processor 4TB SSD + 2TB SSD. It’s a beast, I’ve had it for 3 years. Run it daily for large scrape jobs, store and process a lot of data. It has never let me down.
I’ve used Teams every day all day for the past 4+ years and I have had minor issues with it ~5 times. Hundreds of my fellow co-workers use it and I’ve not heard anyone run into the consistent issues you’ve described.
We use it for 100% of our conference calls, sales calls, 1:1 working sessions, all-hands (hundreds of attendees), virtual trainings, new-hire onboarding, etc…
I’d say it’s the most useful software we use in my company outside of email.
Admittedly, I’m yet to experience the pure bliss that comes from collaborating on an NFT project with fellow Slack team members from my Mac Book Pro while riding in my auto-pilot enabled Tesla.
Until then, I’m pretty content with what I’ve been able to do with Microsoft Teams over the years.
As a member of Domain Buyers Anonymous (DBA), I speak for all fellow addicts when I say, you’re evil. Nonetheless, definitely adding this to my browser bookmarks, for whenever I need a hit, just to take the edge off.
