You mean teams… No! You mean new teams! No! You mean teams for home use and teams for work! No! You mean new experience teams! Maybe you mean blue teams for use on a moving vehicle between 25 and 60mph on a Wednesday with the windows open while talking to exactly 2 or your close friends who are wearing blue blazers and jeans while drinking coffee but not from Starbucks at their house but not the bedroom and having their living rooms painted magenta in water color teams? Is it that teams? I’m a little confused as to what teams I’m using. I only use it at work because fuck no, I will never use it at home.
Or, if it was named by users of Microsoft products:
New Teams (2) Final-Final (1) Final-THIS ONE
Skype? Wasn’t this the buggy voice chat?
Yeah, for about a week. It’s been awesome for the 20 years since. I’ve used it on some really shitty internet on a weekly-to-daily basis and I’ve only been amazed at its reliability.
So it stands to reason in 2025 America that we need to destroy something just because it works and works well.
You shoulda tried it. Too bad. It dynamically switched codecs based on congestion, it punched through nats like none before it; it just worked.
None of this “Skype in name” Lync mess.
That’s fine I’ll just use Lync.
Another company Microsoft bought and ran into the ground. It’s really incredible that they managed to get their lunch stolen. They had basically a monopoly and gave it away without a fight. Hell, the colloquialism for video calling someone was to Skype them for a looong time.
And then one small competitor comes along and it’s all gone. How can you fuck up this bad? Especially during the pandemic, in which they should have further entrenched their monopoly…
