That thing where you can’t get #Prokofiev out of your head because of last night’s @nyphil concert so you keep attempting to sing chunks of it, annoying someone so much he shuts down Skype & refuses to speak to you for the rest of the day. #sorrynotsorry

What bothers me most is when clearly isn’t a hardware issue and they keep saying like you have to go to a nearest office to someone fix. No buddy, i don’t think is possible that you can’t help me fix that via phone/skype or whatever

If it removes a bunch of jerks from the education of children and the kids are biased from under a mile away ANYWAY I don't see a problem. It's a new world and most of this stuff could be done remotely by @Skype. Just saying.

Got my flight delayed two hours on the way to a job down in Cardiff which meant I had to do a Skype interview for another job in the airport. Buuuut didn't happen because somebody broke one of the doors going out of baggage and we got blocked in for half an hour.

$MSFT Skype #skype has to be the worst ******* app ever. If you know your password, just answer 19 questions. If you don’t, no problem, just tell us when you lost your virginity, her name & 3 facts abt it. Seriously WTF. I need to make a call but will create a non-Skype account

@Jim_Stone12 @CONDESCENDANT @rockdaboatNL I guess his going over there will frighten them into hurrying it up. Why not stay home, sit on his arse, and use Skype. If you were an electrical engineer at MF ,your problem is you were and maybe still are afraid to think. Your concrete block is on its way.

@TaniaWalker I’ve never done video calls with but voice works fine on Skype with the iPad. Most of my VoIP calls across the various services (Skype, Discord, Zoom, etc) are done on my iPad now. I am more and more often travelling just with my iPad and rarely hit any issues.

Hey @blogtalkradio I’ve been trying to get support for weeks, but I’m still having issues using direct connect with one of the mics you even suggested. Considering I pay every month for my show, I hope someone gets back to me with a fix. My last few shows sound awful w/o Skype 😣

@q_professor In today’s age of email, Skype / Zoom, etc., you’re definitely not too far to be of help. I’m trying to put together a rough idea outline in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps we could exchange some thoughts on it around then. I would very much value your input

@Inkblitzer @RenTradewind Kinda sorta... MS is trying to push everyone to Teams (ugh), but Skype for Business will still be supported for a while... SfB Online is being shut down at the end of July 2021, but the on-premises server has support through October of 2025. #itnerd

@benedictevans Seems to me some hardware companies have the opposite problem today. Their gadgets last too long, so they upgrade the operating systems to the point where the hardware becomes obsolete e.g. my perfectly good iPad II can no longer run Skype because the OS has maxed out.
