Yeah I retract my comment, I’ve worked with people in Germany and Japan before. Faxes were required for both!

If you’re in a modern country, sure.

Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.

Half of every morning meeting is trying to work out wtf is happening with teams in my experience.

A frequent occurrence is when it, without warning, changes your text to right-to-left Arabic layout, so every now and again you get a message from a colleague that reads like they’re trapped in the black lodge

I also had a moment yesterday when pop up messages took over almost my entire screen and I had to force quit teams. If anyone used to get pop up spammed back on MSN Messenger twenty years back it was just like that.

Teams is absolute fucking shite.

I have a few. And I’m not even that old (mid thirties)

• People who talk on phone calls using airpods or similar look ridiculous in public, like they’re utter lunatics talking to themselves or their imaginary friend.

• people who view life through their mobile phones are unfortunate and sad. Like…why pay money to go see a gig if you’re going to view it through your phone screen? I went to a wedding last week and I was one of the very few who was actually watching the procession with my own eyes rather through a camera app.

• Not being on social media should be an accepted norm, not a fucking exception. This is an issue when dating, unbelievably.
