    Two different routers plugged into the same @MediacomCable cable. Same symptoms. IP for 20 seconds, then no more IP, only L3. Support has so far blamed this on everything that's not a problem in @MediacomCable's IP network. Sorry mom. No @Skype for COVID-Christmas.

    @itsjd4real @JMPSimor @DLidington Yes, difficult to understand why they aren't able to meet over the phone/skype right now. Maybe Nanny's already put them all down for the night.

  • Scarfey88 B S (@Scarfey88) reported

    @Skyebaby8Susan @andr3wmorton @edinburghpaper They clarified this morning nurseries are included in the lock down. Unfortunately pre schoolers can’t be looked after via Skype so it’s back to trying to work and childcare concurrently...

  • kajstrife kaj (@kajstrife) reported

    @BitchassMcGrass maybe computer manufacturers are paying Discord, Spotify, Steam, Skype, NordVPN, uTorrent, Blizzard, Origin, and Twitch to clog up memory at login so people think their computer is broken so they buy a new one

    In-person meetings help foster relationships in a way that Skype or conference calls often do not.

  • brianfharrison Brian F. Harrison, (Ph.D. but not doctor?) 🏳️‍🌈 (@brianfharrison) reported

    Dear @MicrosoftHelps: I can't login to my Skype account and when I try, it says it will send an email to reset my password. No email arrives. When I try to do chat help to speak to a person, I have to login first... but I can't do that... because, that's my problem. Help?!!?

  • gingylau laura. (@gingylau) reported

    @dtConfect I completely and utterly agree, I know it's nowhere near the same, could you Skype your parents? Something better than nothing I guess. Boris couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery let alone the country 🙄 anything I can help with give me a shout.

  • conga_gone Blue Steve (@conga_gone) reported

    @KlotzBets If her family can't understand that's their problem not hers or yours. If they want to gather so badly, let one of them host. It's better to forgo it this year so the gathering next year can include everyone and be bigger and better. There is always zoom or Skype or FaceTime.

    I’d love to choke a beta down til I maxed out its credit card then spit on its face to let it know its useless after that. No money = useless Available for sessions and **** rates #FinD #KIK #SKYPE

    JFC, would companies kindly stop requiring mobile phones in order to unlock accounts that were locked for no reason. @Microsoft / @Skype - fix your ****!

  • Orkneywren Rhona King (@Orkneywren) reported

    @JoBo1806 Does using Skype/zoom or whatever help? Just have them there to chat while you do daily stuff may help. We're planning family bingo nights in the weeks ahead.

  • mancunianmedic david oliver (@mancunianmedic) reported

    @britandjack i prefer to make fun of how slow it is and have a "not that upset" low grade moan and an excuse not to do zoom or skype. People are far too solution-focussed these days. I prefer to live in the problem and laugh at my predicament
