Maybe it's because I haven't watched him in anything lately, but Ryan Reynolds looks like he's suddenly started aging as well in the trailers for that new family movie he's in

I’m hard locked into using Outlook and Teams because that’s the only thing my employer will allow, AMA. Also we’re not allowed to use Google Meet at all, which makes it super cool when every other local agency has that for their default meeting app, I get to be the weirdo who calls in by phone line and can’t see the presentation.

Hah we're finally fazing Zoom and it's going to suuuck since our courts use it for hearings and we frequently do our family and client meetings over it too. Participation is going to tank until someone high up complains.

Teams is the worst except for that the permissions model is broken in some funny way for edu accounts so when I am invited into someone else's meeting at another organization, if I get there before them it lets me be the owner of it.

Anyone here use FUBO tv and have an opinion on it? I'm ditching cable and going Starlink, looking for iptv that has DVR capabilities that doesn't suck, and this so far seems like the leader.

I tried it and a few others before landing on YoutubeTV and haven't looked back. I think most have trials so you can try a few out to see what you like.

I use it, solely because it's the only iptv that has my regional sports network so I can watch the Kraken and Mariners.

It's... fine? Doesn't have turner networks, which sucks. But there's decent sports options, and NBC, FOX and CBS have 4k channels (when they actually broadcast 4k in). If you sign up for Beta you can get 20% off. It's still more than I want to pay.

And there were also a few posts in the group team chats asking if anyone’s new Teams kept closing itself lol

My company keeps bouncing around between video chat providers and we're currently on Teams. Agreed "new" teams seems basically indistinguishable from the old one, at least on mac. It's... fine? Apparently we are switching to the Google suite whenever our MS contract is up, for Reasons. As far as I can tell Google completely changes their video collaboration product every 3 months so who knows what it will look like or even be called by then.

I do a lot of work with AWS and can confidently state that Amazon Chime is the worst video call software ever produced. Amazon hard requires using it for any calls with their employees. If you are going to force your employees and customers to use this product you made, maybe invest some resources in making it not a total unmitigated piece of poo poo??? It's embarrassing.

I wouldn't get any notifications in the new Teams and after like three days of dealing with that poo poo I switched back.

On one hand it was really relaxing not getting message pings or call notices, but on the other people thought I was ghosting them lol

Had a two- or three-month period late last year where I couldn't get Teams to work on my laptop, and company IT basically told me to kick rocks until it was my turn for a laptop upgrade. That was a fun excuse to skip a lot of meetings, at least.

I’m so checked out of my job mentally it’s not even funny. The only reason I’m still here this week is 2-3 very close friends I’ve made here are taking over the role I held, so I delayed giving my notice by a week (Was gonna do it 1/26 and finish 2/9, ended up doing up 2/2 and my last day is this Friday) because I knew they’d be utterly hosed. They are still somewhat hosed for various reasons, but the extra week helps them a lot.

Ok, so the Burritos are going to Universal. We’re driving down I-75, and there’s a billboard asking if we want to drive a tank. I look up the website, and indeed there is a place where you can drive a tank half a mile for $200 and up.

I gotta know. My Florida goons, have any of you ever driven a tank before? I won’t lie, if we didn’t have the kids I’d be tempted just for the experience.

I have never done it but have a good friend who has. He had a blast. He went with some techbro friends so they shelled out to run over a bunch of poo poo like an old car and later shot off all sorts of weapons of varying legality.

There was a park by me that had a great sledding hill when I was a kid.

Though right at the bottom it turned into gravel with a wall with a ~4 foot drop right past it, that if it was icy at all you could easily skid into.

Safety is for the weak.

There is a snow tubing place by my parents house in PA. One year we thought it would be fun to link all the tubes together and go down the hill. We went thr length of the runway on the bottom, over several stop strip mats, through two snow barricades and up the embankment and into the parking lot before coming to a stop. Now there are signs everywhere explicitly forbidding it.
