Same here, zoom is on our 'ban' list. And MS teams is getting there, what a load of crap that is, it is so buggy it is embarrassing.
It isn't if you're on a laptop from 2021. But that vast majority of people aren't. Companies don't provision new computers to their employees every time a new computer comes out. At the companies I've worked for, the minimum refresh time is 3-5 years, depending on tax laws, and financial ability.
It's also not a big deal if the computer is only used for Zoom. Most people, whether office drones or developers, run many programs at once.
That "ram is cheap and plentiful" is also seriously not true for Mac laptops, which both caps how much one can expand them and also charges unreasonable rates for the additions they do allow
Oh man, I'd love to live in the wonderland where you posted this comment from.
My laptop from 2019 also had 32g and was less than 2000 usd.
Obviously most people don't need that and I'm sympathetic to anyone having to run teams on some shitty IT-provided low cost laptop loaded with 7 different management spyware suites, but 16g-32g is not baller in a limo outrageous.
On 16GB I was constantly running out of memory at work. It’s not just 1GB it’s 1GB times all the other crap you need running.
what's so bad about team's security that its almost on your ban list?
Well I did say I assume I'm not being trolled so I'm not sure what you're referring to. As a teams user I asked a good faith question to try and flesh out her reasons for considering banning Teams.
But to give you a reason why someone might assume a troll
- random internet stranger
- Microsoft mentioned, some people just don't like them as a company
- no actual reason given, just a comment with zero supporting evidence.
How many more reasons would you like?
