  • HipCounsel HPC | #HIPCOUNSEL | HIGH PERFORMANCE COUNSEL (@HipCounsel) reported from Sutton at Hone, England

    @LottieJohn1 @ItisJudge First there was a spark. Then a flame. Then a fire. Then a bonfire. Then (big gap) a lightbulb. Then TV. Then videoconferencing with issues. Then Skype. Then video for everyone. Then chaos. Tech is a beautifully dangerous companion thrust upon the unweary traveller. #hipcounsel

  • DameQueso Mamie Douglas (@DameQueso) reported from Bensalem, Pennsylvania

  • pankaj8958 pankaj negi (@pankaj8958) reported from Deola Talla, State of Uttarakhand

    @BSNLCorporate @CMDBSNL Going for BSNL fibre internet: anyone out there don't go for it, it has frequent request timeout issue, latency is bad. If you are working remotely or into multiplayer gaming don't go for it. U can't do a proper Skype call with a 15mbos plan.

  • castromau Mauricio de Castro (@castromau) reported from Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul

    During the 1 hour Twitter was down I also kissed 10.000 frogs. No prince yet. 🤮 btw, my Skype thing is actually true

  • Sophie__Mason__ Angry Lemming (@Sophie__Mason__) reported from Bristol, England

    @elenadice1976 @dementia_physio Yes! When my late dad went into his care home his main requests were a TV to watch the news, WiFi so he could Skype his grandson, and the @FT delivered every day. One of the very last things he did (with help from me) was put a cross on his postal ballot paper.

  • jdouglaslittle Doug Little 🌹✊ 🍊 (@jdouglaslittle) reported from Toronto, Ontario

    @WardaDave @calphonso Problem is how many. Denmark solved the class size problem with Skype but only 12 were in class and 12 on remote - not home. Requires a teacher centered approach but that's not the end of the world. The remote kids just watch though and get a handout. They are in class nxt day.

  • shiofficialxox Shi Official (@shiofficialxox) reported from Sheffield, England

    @How_can_I_lose @BarryMeps I never scammed a single person I have had legal reasons for not doing one contest and rescheduled a very short percentage of my Skype calls. People have refused refunds and I can’t help that

  • DavidSmithTV TVDirectorDavid (@DavidSmithTV) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @LyndaCampbell9 Such a shame Skype let us down tonight on that one this evening. Trying times indeed.

  • LwaziSiyaphi . (@LwaziSiyaphi) reported from Bekkersdal, Gauteng

  • sarahhbickerton Sarah Hendrica Bickerton 🏳️‍🌈 (@sarahhbickerton) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    I used Skype this past week for the first time in forever, after a 2020 filled with Zoom, and GOOD LORD is Skype a hunk of utter shite. It’s a massive resource hog, both of system resources and bandwidth (I shut down background processes, apps, and cut off access to my wifi)

  • DinaGlyphs Öpéyëmí D. Bámidélé🥵😠😡🤬 (@DinaGlyphs) reported from Ibadan, Oyo State

    If the crocodile will be real, these steps will help. Step 1 - Paid\Free VPN Step 2 - Skype Phone number Step 3 - Bind the numbers to your social accounts and your mail if possible @EndSarsResponse could this be advisable for those who want to be actively involved online?
