there's a consumer version of skype, a business version of skype, and then skype for business which used to be called lync.

quote:

If you're using Skype on a Windows desktop and your messages are appearing out of order, there's a solution: downgrade to an earlier version.

You're not alone in seeing some newer chat messages appear above older ones, which makes following conversations a little tricky: people have been complaining about it over the Christmas break.

The trouble seems to have started after version 7.17.0.105 of Skype for Windows was released this month.

"Sorry to hear that some of you are still seeing their chat messages sorted incorrectly in the currently latest Skype version 7.17 for Windows desktop," Skype community manager Claudius Henrichs said just a few hours ago in the support forums.

"Our engineers have been working to create an updated Skype version to address this. This update is currently undergoing verification and quality tests before we can share it with you. Thanks for your patience."

While Microsofties rustle up that bug fix, people affected by the glitch are urged to downgrade to version 7.17.0.104. Alternatively, you can try using Skype in your browser.

Windows itself doesn't do native UTC - it assumes firmware time is local.

Strangelet Wave: Nov 6, 2004; Surely you're joking!

Skype on my iPhone got replaced by "skype for iPhone" but the update didn't work (?) and it just hung in an unfinished state with a default placeholder icon so lol

but also its skype... on my iPhone. I know it's iPhone skype because it's skype and its on my iPhone. why does MS need to push an update which changes it from "skype" to "skype for iPhone" and for that matter, why should I give a drat which device I use skype on, shouldn't it just be skype?

also the App Store has something called "Skype wifi" as distinct from "skype for iPhone", wtf is that supposed to even mean

Do you know someone who runs apps that were clearly meant to be full screen (Photoshop, illustrator, Solidworks, etc)

neither Photoshop nor Illustrator was meant to be full-screen

they were proper multi-window Mac apps for a long time, until they let the "cross platform uber alles" people have their way with the UI

u r a dumb, ive been using macinteeshes a longass time (since before os x) and clicking on a background window has always brought only that window forward

no it didn't, the Mac always used to raise the whole app, from the advent of Multifinder

it only changed with OS X which raises only the activated window on click, not the whole application

it does raise the whole application when clicked in the dock though

they don't even have proper API full screen code, they still use what Adobe feels full screen on a Mac is like, using shoddy code that hasn't been updated in years. it's an absolute knob to use.

in the past few days my PC has become extremely slow. i only use it for gaming and haven't installed anything else. to load a Star Wars: Battlefront game takes forever. like 5 minutes and i usually give up and quit the game and try again. same when a game ends, i have to wait ages for the stats to pop up.

and during the game, the frame rate appears fine according to shadowplay, but it's actually extremely choppy. like unplayable choppy. it runs at 30-60 fps or whatever for most of the time but every few seconds completely stalls to 0.

what i often do is just work on my mac, then tap the mouse button to wake up my computer, indenting to play a game. but in recent days tap the mouse and the computer makes this has drive clicking noise like crazy. like it's doing something really intensive but all i did was click the mouse and there's nothing on the PC but games and that's it.

so basically this OS is a piece of poo poo. even keeping it quarantined, it seems to gently caress up.
