IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

Yeah the mobile look and feel is ugly.

We were using Skype before so not sure the point

Teams will replace Skype at some point. I think it's fine, but I guess I haven't used Slack to compare it too. I don't really get all hot about chat clients anyway. If I can read the text and maybe send an occasional file I'm fine with it.

Thanks now I'm gonna use Bummer Burt to relay all chat messages

I actually didn't have too much problem with Arch untilI got to a weird video config issue that I couldn't get to work quite right, messed with drivers and shit for days. You know what fixed it? Scrapping that shit and installing ubuntu. magic.

Slack can't do traditional dial-in bridges even on the enterprise version, can it?

Teams is a pretty good product, not on its own merits, but because it is a true VOIP conferencing system that interfaces with the PSTN, and it's actually really well integrated with the rest of the Microsoft products. The calendar integration is very good, and it's basically its own sharepoint front end, because a Team is also a Sharepoint site, effectively.

Where it sucks is the actual IM/chatting part, aka the thing most people want to do with it most of the time. It manages contacts and conversations pretty poorly.

You need to integrate with Zoom or another tool for dial-in bridges.

Anyone used Microsoft Teams before?

Should I be mad they pushed that on us instead of Slack?

DELL isn't letting you use Slack. LOL?
VMware would riot if we were forced to use Teams.

I don't think they're stopping us, but if no one else is using it it's not like I can convert everyonen

I don't want to hear any complaining from anyone until you suffer the way I have being forced to move to G-Suite for everything, including hangouts.

Microsoft's suite of products. Corporate Gmail is just... terrible.

We used Google shit at akamai and I hated it. We were a server company and we had to use Google drive to store documents, made no sense.

This is the same company that gave me a MacBook pro to develop on an ide only available on windows and needed to test on Linux. Had 3 monitors, one for each os and vm.

Current company isn't immune to dumb shit. EMC employees had a VPN service, and they still use it today. Dell had their own. I was hired as a Dell employee but can't access file shares so had to get both vpns and disconnect/connect as needed working from home. Then they came out with a third that supported both, but it doesn't work.
