my cheapo firm makes us use Flock which is like a retarded version of aim after boot it opens and shows me a tab of every single chat i've ever had on it, and flags each line in each one as unread, every time this includes every alert the flock devs have sent me, about various new features

Faster computer methinks?

PleasureKevin posted:imagine you sit down to have dinner at a restaurant with your family. the server comes over and gives you all breakfast menus even though it's 6PM. you all flip over the menu and look it up and down a few times, only seeing breakfast. a simple mistake. the server comes over to collect the menus--but just then the tiny bell held above the door by shoestring rings, and inward begin to pile frantic fragments of humanity. one arm and one leg belong to a journalist, because the Canon camera and sling have them tied up quite nicely. a flower dress amongst them suggest a grandmother but it's soon clear from the movement that no hip replacement is involved and it's an ironic millennial wearing dumb garbage. like a scene from Spirited Away, the restaurant springs to life. someone yells "take a selfie of me in front of the all-night breakfast place!". this wasn't meant to be a place for breakfast-seeking hooligans. but market demands spoke loudly. the server withdraws his hand. his life is breakfast now. you nod and leave with your family. as you curb stomp your children in super smash bros XI, letting the self-driving car self-drive itself home, you have time to think to yourself. when you were a kid, Reese's for breakfast was a _game changer_. will you stand in the way of progress? the next night you return to the restaurant. as expected, they are still honouring their mistakenly put-out breakfast menus, with Pill Gangs now feuding over seats or defecating in newspaper boxes half a block up. "table for 5" you say, and after the server sweeps some broken glass off an enviable booth table, you're reading to take on the future. breakfast, in the wrong place, at the wrong time. the next gunshot your hear tugs you awake. how many shots was that? are those Cop Drone rounds or Illegal Shots? it doesn't matter, you think, even as a Cop Drone careens into a building across the street and spills fire and smoke over the whole block like a bowl of spaghetti and pasta sauce just jumped off a super-sonic merry-go-round. "raspberries" says your wife. "french toast and raspberries". they don't fear death. they want raspberries. and come hell or high water, your family will have raspberries, with some left over for the self-driving car to munch on too. you clench your fist with cocksure determination. but as you slowly unclench your fist, the gravity of the situation rains down. sticky. your hands are sticky. there is syrup everywhere. holy poo poo. ew. no no no. Lol. quite a lot of pleasure in this post

yep! The problem is shadow IT, most likely because the main IT tried to block or ignore it and people used it anyway. Another key factor is usually corporate IT being hide bound to Microsoft and/or being slow to implement anything officially. also with SaaS it’s so easy for a VP or higher to just stick it on the corporate Amex and for it to reach critical mass to where IT has to adopt it. For example we have O365, gsuite and Dropbox paper floating around at the moment for document creation and depending on what group I’m interfacing with dictates which one I need to use. it’s maddening.

Silver Alicorn posted:my org uses Skype but they are trying to get us to use Zoom instead i mean, zoom's a thing, but if you have anything that is non ephemeral, it's going to suck really bad. it serves a diff purpose from slack/hipchat/etc slack is nice b/c you can search that poo poo for when somebody mentioned this obscure server or code function last 11 months ago 99% of our communications is slack and zoom. the latter is hooked up to all the conference room ipads and such and our google calendars. i do not mind it. but we definitely only use it for videochats

for some reason zoom obliterates the cpu/gpu on my laptop. also it doesn't do volume leveling and has super loose voice detection so you get people breathing into their mics over people who are too quiet. go to meeting is still the best general purpose meeting client. teams/skype meetings work really well for internal stuff but lots of people don't know its a thing or how to use it.

yeah zoom audio is horrible. our new (my old) denver office has all the conf rooms in a ring around the open plan, and all of the hvac gear is up in the ceilings above the rooms. low wooshing noise when i give a class now i put on my gaming headset. no shame. everybody says i sound great and i'm giving slide decks, not on cam so who cares

If I were to write a conference software it wouldn't allow dial ins or audio devices that aren't headsets or actual conference phones.
