@SamSiestas : thanks kitten. I haven't forgotten you, I still intend to have a call with you when the dust settles (I even fixed my Skype issue during an insomnia), it's just that as you can see, there's a lot going on.

Microsoft Lync / Skype for business as an external user was pretty shite too. At least it opened a little faster, didn't make you login, but it would also love to bring your computer to a crawl after like five minutes. How do you royally **** up teleconferencing so hard?

@anomiseditrix This is a super common issue in bigger corporate environments on either Teams or Skype. Hate it.

We have upgraded from Skype to Teams, much excitement abounds. Though it was the source of yesterday's outage

@Randy_Gage The only reason I keep Skype is to video call with my grandmother because it's the only thing she knows how to use. It has constant connection issues around 95% of the time for me. I much rather WhatsApp and Zoom. Neither give me the grief that Skype does.

@SantoyVo I'm using it on a Windows 10 PC equipped with an old i7 4790k, 16gb RAM, and have it plugged into a powered USB hub. Zero compatibility issues with everything from ProTools, Audition, to Skype, Discord, Source Connect. I've heard of the PC issue with UA Apollo interfaces though

Those agencies conduct fake interviews with imposters on Skype phone calls speaking broken English with a strong accent They charge their victims-ask them to transfer funds to an account in Kotak Bank in stages. The fake interviews are straight questions for managerial roles

Why does Skype have such terrible window management? How difficult is it to remember the last window size and position?

I am in a terrible mood. I am sick of covid, sick of Zoom/Teams/Skype, sick of being asked to turn on my camera, sick of living in a houseshare, sick of Boris and his clan, and I want to see my family and have a month off work.

@matvelloso Teams is 1/10th the ease of use of a simple SMS-but-encrypted service. Imagine if MS hadn't butchered Skype over the last decade! Maybe this is a segment it could compete in :)

@scalarism Yes, they did. Terrible idea. Now Skype in idle takes up ~235 MB of memory and video calls chew up most of the CPU resources. Either way, that still doesn't give them the excuse for terrible window management. Just lazy programming.

@ChristinaPykles @TheNamesQ Are you going to do a podcast about the case? That would be awesome. Just like Serial.. Quality audio is my biggest gripe. I once listened to a podcast where he spoke to people over Skype. I felt like he was reporting from inside my wardrobe the sound was terrible. Good luck

@drskyskull I've noticed the quality of Discord is getting slowly worse over the past few months. There's constantly some problem happening. We started online roleplaying with Skype, then Teamspeak, now Discord. Maybe its time for something else. Is there anything better?
