I don't need any of the "premium features" either but I pay for premium. More folks should do this when someone is asking a very reasonable price for a wel run and made service. Please support the developer and pay the measly $19.80 a year for premium. Perhaps, this will prevent "enshitification"

In 2022/2021Teams rapidly became popular with businesses once MS bundled it for free with 365 subscriptions despite users hating it. At the time it was a horrible application that was buggy, low quality conferencing, and had multiple versions that didn't interoperate (i.e Teams business and Teams personal different apps).

I remember quite clearly business users all complaining ("Ugh, Teams sucks") but they had no choice once their IT department got deals for Office with teams and then dumped their Zoom, WebEx, etc services despite them both being a lot better..

Shame he didn't know what he was doing or wasn't into the taper scene who could have taught him how to make far better quality recordings.

By 2000, no one into live concert recording would touch analog cassettes tapes; everyone in the scene by 2000 all used DAT and some were moving to hard disk/solid state recording. The only folks using cassette by as last as the mid-90s didn't know what there were doing or were extremely poor (portable DATs could be had for $400).

Onlyoffice is great. OnlyOffice has less features than Libreoffice it has a lot cleaner interface. Id love to try EuroOffice, is it available for download binaries without having to compile it?

What auto apply tool for jobs actually works properly? I’ve looked at them and they all seem buggy.

IBM plans to do many things...doesn't mean they will. Well, except for firing their more senior employees.

There are two main drivers of age bias:

1) The conscious, economic one.
Experienced workers cost more. While experience can generate efficiency gains, those gains rarely show up on a balance sheet after the first year. The loss of that institutional knowledge only becomes visible later—often when organizations end up rebuilding or reinstalling the very systems they dismantled.

2) The subconscious, psychological one.
Older people remind younger colleagues of aging and mortality, which creates discomfort and bias even when no one intends it.

Thanks never noticed that. All moot since its a paywalled article anyway.

I know slashdot editors like to play hide the article link, but this time they didnt even include an link to the wired article from which they copied their blurb text.

$4000 a terabyte! Forgot how expensive a 1tb spinning disk was back in 2001!

Not really. Apple has a history of tech partnering until it decides that it wants to do it itself (maps, CPUs to name two examples). Im confident whatever apple does with Google it will put privacy protections in place that matches it's corporate policy.

Why would RAM on the SOC make them immune, the RAM in the SOC comes from somewhere? Additionally, Apple does have multiple year supplier contracts, however if prices dont come back down at time of the contract renewal, Apple prices will go up.
