Japan eliminates the usage of floppy disks - in 2024?
-
@Madchatthew yes, even the CD-ROM drive disappeared from mainstream pc’s some time ago. I know floppy disk usage in Japan went on for some time whilst other countries deprecated them completely.
Surprising really for a country that leads in the technology market.
I’m also surprised M$ are killing Skype. They have been trying to move this user base to their flagship teams product.
@phenomlab I’m sure that some people like teams, but I think it sucks. I am sure there are better platforms out there that work better. I think that is what they are going to make us go to eventually where I work. We use Webex right now and that doesn’t seem to bad, but try to used teams for some things and it sucks.

Yes, you’re not the first to say that. My team and I use it extensively for work and wouldn’t be without it to be honest. When we were effectively “in the market” for a messaging app, we also looked at Slack. Nice product, but so expensive. We onboarded Teams because with our Office365 licensing, it made sense.

@phenomlab yeah that makes sense and it would make sense for my work place to 100% switch to it because they also subscribe to office 365. Some people are using it where I work, but I just don’t want to switch back and forth between application and have conversations in two different places. If they do actually switch and get rid of Webex, then I would do everything in teams. Even if I do dislike it. I do like how it is easy to share files and such in teams.

@Madchatthew Yes, it does have it’s benefits. Personally, my job would be much harder without it.

@Madchatthew They are constantly updating the platform, and I have to admit, it is better than it was when I first began using it.

@phenomlab that is good to know. I will check it out more closely

I am playing around with Teams and am wondering why they don’t have outlook incorporated into it or an email app. I see that there is an Activity section, but that appears to be only the calendar portion. I see that they have the icon there is all apps, but that brings me to a browser webpage. It would be nice if it could stay in teams.

@phenomlab doh, they have that teams email webpage blocked. I am surprised they even let us go on the internet at work. My theory is that we are all adults and if people are wasting time on the internet when they should be working then that is going to show. Then deal with them. But I can kinda understand it as well. To bad, I would have liked to have had that in teams.
Maybe I will download it at home and email it to my work email and see if that works haha
