My work sent me a free monitor, chair, and keyboard and mouse for home working so I'm pretty happy. Worst is that now the threshold for calling a meeting is 1000x lower than before, so my day is just back to back meetings and no one actually has time to do any work.

yaffle posted:Our school switched from zoom to teams because "zoom is banned in china" (it still works). If you think zoom is irritating, try to imagine a Microsoft version. And, if you're bored you can switch it to "under the sea" mode where then on your screen (and your screen only) all of the participants with cameras on are bobbing about among the ocean coral while they're talking about today's numbers.

shut up blegum posted:How do I do this? tia Switching to together mode doesn't change it for anyone else. BUT, when you change scene anyone else that happens to be using together mode will switch to that scene too. So you can have separate IMs with your buddies loling when you change the senior management pep talk to under the sea. Looks like this https://twitter.com/codepo8/status/1329117179468541953

My work will buy me home office stuff for WFH. It's a pretty good deal. It's a massive company, so the policy is set centrally but the people that do the purchasing are just your local dept's admin staff. We have a budget of £35 for a headset for conference calls. I've asked them to just get me £12 in-ear headphones with a mic (think standard no-brand wired apple earphones). They are refusing to order them for me because "it's meant for a headset not earphones". (90% of people on calls use normal earphones not headsets). Similarly, we have a specific catalogue for office chairs, with the policy saying we must get these ones because they've been assessed as suitable quality & compliant with the various health & safety regs. I choose one from that list, only to get told "sorry it's too expensive can please find a cheaper one from Amazon and we will order you that".
