A cancer diagnosis and complications from chemotherapy. It’s been rough on her but she’s an absolute trooper.
A cancer diagnosis and complications from chemotherapy. It’s been rough on her but she’s an absolute trooper.
Since September my wife has had about ten CTs, three MRIs, two major surgeries (the last one 7 hours long), one emergency surgery, weeks of chemotherapy and radiation treatments and about 8 weeks hospitalised including some time in the ICU.
Total cost: $0
Unless you count the cost of parking when I visit her in hospital, in which case I’ve spent about $170 USD
This is in New Zealand with a publicly funded health system.
It’s like Kleenex rebranding to V and then telling everyone to refer to them as tissues.
It’s absolutely batshit. Way to destroy a strong brand, and any brand recognition.
IOS didn’t allow you to set a default browser other than Safari for years and still doesn’t allow third party browsers to use their own web rendering engine.
If the DoJ don’t care about that, they won’t care that Teams ignores your default browser.
Again, I don’t condone what they’re doing. I just doubt the Justice department will care.
A lot of talk of antitrust in this thread.
Unfortunately while this behaviour is disgusting and unethical, it’s not exploiting a dominant market position to stifle competition.
To do so teams would need to be in a position of dominance, which (thankfully for anyone forced to use this garbage) it’s simply not.
This sucks, but don’t count on the government doing anything to fix it.
Are there any electron apps that aren’t?
Sure, but teams isn’t part of office.
My current office, and my previous office was a mixture of windows, macs and iOS/android devices.
My previous role was the same.
Teams also isn’t in a monopoly position. There are plenty of alternatives which are in use and don’t force the use of edge.
Their desktop market share has dropped to 75%. That’s dominant but a far cry from the over 90% share they had during their antitrust trial.
To be clear: I think this is appalling behaviour and I’m not defending it.
I just don’t think the DoJ will care.
They’re not really in the dominant market position they were in back in the 90s.
Either that or you’ve got some malware.
