@paulg Because this is how we've always done it has never been a good enough answer. Why fight reality for temporary comfort? Embrace the opportunity to approach the world unbridled by the past. Do you want to get back to "life as normal" or embrace the chance to define the new normal?

You can tie it all together in one ecosystem that you control. I have RGB lightbulbs that change based on my Teams presence so my family know when I'm on a call. The tools for creating dashboards and custom UX front ends are pure awesomeness.

Their Node-Red support makes integrations, and these scenarios much easier. You can create some pretty cool things with it too.

Changing RGB WiFi bulb color/pattern for visual status indicators. Text to speech for audible alerting via Amazon Echo, etc.

@UCMadScientist I've been toying with an idea for Teams for a while now. This is what's missing. Want to build something cool?

@kenlasko @HabibMankal You might check your rules for Kazakhstan. Had some problems with Almaty area code showing as Russia because of the country code.

@inconvergent I'd love to help find the root problems with you. Tech should be an enabler, not a roadblock to communication. The user experience is what matters. Tools shouldn't create more work.

@markmanson Cognitive bias? Nurtured by nature or natured by nurture? Chicken or the egg?

@chamath You're arguing apples and oranges. There's something much much bigger at play. Very few have seen it yet, but it's coming and it will change everything.

@kenlasko Found this today. https://t.co/Dg5KFZHRYJ The 32-bit virtual webcam Windows installer version works with Teams. You can feed it video files and do much more. 😈

@elonmusk Totally get that you're out there doing you're thing. What's it take to get 30 minutes of your time to talk about saving the world?

[Chris Cook @Empty_Message]

@kenlasko Got it. I was using the swaggerhub API key. I'll shoot you an email offline.

@kenlasko Can't seem to get anything but a 403 from the UCDialPlans API. I promise I didn't break it, it was like that when I got here. Am I missing something?

@UCMadScientist Haven't seen a big change in CPU or RAM usage, but I am open to feedback. The most common issue I've found is almost always over-subscription at the VM host level. This article outlines the issue well https://t.co/3wuFKzo8kC More cores aren't always better.

I've been a customer for over 15 years. Please tell me you can help me figure something out. Your team failed to follow established policies for SMS verification, made the sale anyways to someone with an out of state ID, and are leaving me to clean up the mess. #unacceptable

@JohnLegere Last year @TMobile sold a guy a couple iPhones on EIP with no $ down on my account. He tried again two hours later at another store, luckily that store mgr at called me to verify. The fraud team said they cancelled the transactions and backed out the purchases.

[Chris Cook @Empty_Message]

I was told I could not press charges and the store would not provided information to do so. Turns out you also got me flagged with his credit history. Guess who now has a 125+ point ding on his credit score and a $25k back child support order from the State of AZ.
