@JourneymanGeek eh, depends on the level of data... most important is floating somewhere over at onedrive, less important gets single dailies... the full images are too big, so they only happen monthly. those usually get archived, though I think I missed last month's.
I still have all my archived stuff. just the first backup destination is gone :P
This will at least drive more research into battery tech (tbh I can't see that making massive jumps any time sooon) and into power generation on the small scale.
I mean I might be a snob in that case because it's so obvious for me what to do (create a single variable and pass it to two places) but it really feels like that person hasn't done any sort of "playing" or even understood what they did. Ah~ I guess I should take a break from commenting...
@Burgi I get hundreds of those a day. If someone was giving me attitude because I talked to them instead of searching the information from those mails, I'd put live snails into their coffee
@OliverSalzburg And from the other side... I could go digging, but maaaaaybe I should ask the admin responsible for the network before doing dodgy things. 'course, then I have to tell them how to look up the info they should know (or know how to find) -_-
There are many times where I could spend 10 minutes searching or 2 minutes on the phone. I know I like my concentration, but expecting everyone to work 5x as much, just because I refuse to communicate with them for the "do it yourself" reason, that's not cool
@OliverSalzburg As someone who sometimes needs to create huge mind maps of situations.... having a phone call for an 'update' on something which is already published and easily accessible would cause much grievance. Now, if something was on fire and they needed to ask me if I'd set it on fire that's fine.
@OliverSalzburg Opening the link in the email they already have, vs chasing @Burgi
@Bob last time we had talk about having a chat program that would also allow you to set a status (free/busy) the response was that we don't need such a thing. After all you can just call someone to ask whenever they have time for you. :|
We have a pretty good prefer-IM-based communication actually
Funny enough, it's the developers who have a hard time sticking to it. Because they always need to share that funny new bug they just found with the entire team
Hey you can even switch the Lync Client to the SfB/S4B interface and the EventLog for that Software is still called Lync. So it's probably still Lync. :D
As far as Skype and Skype for Business goes it does have some things in common. You actually can interconnect them from what I know. In addition it has a lot of nice enterprise features like call in conference and such. But other than that ... yeha it can be a nightmare.
I know. But hey it's a plus for them! Well I'm not using it either...
What the call in? They still offer it and it's nice feature to have. Even if it's "fake" I haven't really seen other solutions that offer it as part of the regular setup.
Well I didn't extensively look into it, that's true. :)
XMPP really only lacked good front ends (IMO) and after the big networks using it (FB, Google etc.) closed their gates to retain their customers it just kind of silently died. Well jabber.ccc.de is still a thing I believe.
I remember when my old place said they were setting skype as the business standard comms tool (they were a telecomms company, and we had offices in aus, asia, za, etc, so it kind of made sense to have something with video calling, and it was years ago)
the day that went down, was helarious
I setup a IRC server for the devs
we carried on as normal while the sales guys lost their $h%^.
'Why is skype down!!!! FIX IT NOW!!!!!!11on1oneoneone'
I just can't stop thinking about a recording of a robotics talk I recently watched and the speaker suggested rather strongly that it was a good idea to put a emergency off button on the robot and remote. Because apparently it's not fun to chase several kilos of metal to make them stop what they're doing ... I wonder how well a gun would work for that. I guess you'd have to be quite good at aiming.
