I like teams. It has potential, but is no where near complete. Amusingly, the o365 roadmap lists some 80 ish features for teams that are in development.

Just use PureCloud instead. It’s pretty decent for all the things it does.

I think Lotus Notes is still pretty popular with law firms. I've only heard of it being used there, and at IBM.

Dropbox has just warned me that my freebie 48GB promo is about to expire and drop me down to 2GB Any free way to get a decent allowance again or will I have to bite the bullet and pay for it? Same question for Onedrive as I could use that instead. (Usually, I don't keep much in there, but I am doing some extended travelling and I think hotel wifi has progressed to the point where I could use online backup of my digital camera photos, instead of taking an external HDD)

spog posted:Dropbox has just warned me that my freebie 48GB promo is about to expire and drop me down to 2GB pay the money if you like usability. Dropbox is pretty good and usable. Amazon CloudDrive is their competitor. £55/year for unlimited storage in the UK, dunno about elsewhere. if you wanna be cheap and don't mind a certain degree of loving around, you could use Amazon S3 buckets directly. Super-reliable, but you can tell the interface is for sysadmins (who usually set up command line poo poo). Also you need to put stuff in it yourself, it doesn't autosync. (You may be able to kludge this yourself if you're some sorta nerd.) edit: and if you're on Linux, s3fs-fuse (I haven't tried this myself). divabot fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Our mail is on Exchange now, but we still have a running Notes installation for mail older than 2009 or so. You have to access it through a legacy Citrix environment and remember your password from 8 years ago, but it's there if you need it I guess. We have maybe 1000 attorneys, and I see a request for Notes password resets every few weeks or so.

I'm in for a USB stick or two. And I spent a year subcontracting for one of the biggie MSPs, and they were still all-in on Lotus Notes/Domino/SameTime. As of four years ago or so. Dunno if that's changed or not since, and I have zero intention of finding out.

Last time I had to support Lotus Notes it was still a horrific piece of junk that loved to break at random in ways that were weirder than Outlook. Couldn't fix a LN issue by deleting one of its 498 cache files? You had to log in as local admin to rip everything out and install it fresh. Often requiring 45 minutes and 2-3 reboots.

I'm surprised they haven't stuck with irc; it's older than AIM and it's still around despite all other competition it's had throughout all the years, most of which has died out.

IRC, being a completely open protocol, doesn't have sales agents pestering businesses to implement it or continue using it.  And of course because of that, it's also not going to just go under some day like many previous chat services have.

Yeah, aside from the brief boom IRC had in the early 2000s when especially QuakeNet got really big and the global user average hit ~2 million, it's been steady at ~600k for the past decade or more. I look forward to the current crop of chat programs which do inline-images and which let you edit the chat buffer for everyone, not just yourself, end up dying. Surely it'll be any one of these days, right?

And it is easy as hell to run. When I did my own email and web hosting, I used to run a comprehensive IRC server, complete with NickServ and ChanServ and a web based client. Wasn't linked to any networks, but it was the easiest way back in the day to offer my users chat.

I mean there's tons of services out there that really do just use IRC under the hood. Twitch's chats are if I recall correctly still running on IRC servers that they do fancy things with like recording the chat buffers alongside individual streams so they can do chat-replays when you watched archived video, stuff like that.

Supposedly Blizzard based the first battle.net chat on irc, and since basically every game since then has all-but-copied the functionality of battle.net chat, all of those are not-unlike irc. Then there's Unreal Tournament which straigt up just included ircII.

I think I mentioned that the main use we put our paid-for Slack to is outsourcing our IRC. We still call it "IRC", and access it with IRC clients. I heartily recommend Slack for all your outsourced IRC needs. Discord keep flat-out refusing to make a working IRC gateway, if they had one I'd probably use it ever.

The ingame chat in EVE was based on IRC as far as I know, and each star system was just its separate chat channel. It also meant that during massive fleet battles when the game was basically at a standstill, chat still worked fine. There was an exploit for a short while where someone figured out that if you could prevent the game client from joining the system's chat channel, you would become invisible and you could go around killing people who had no idea you were in the system.
