I use fullscreen mode a lot. For work I will have VS Code and a web browser side-by-side. Every ticket I work on gets its own instance. I find it keeps me organized so I can focus …

I use Teams on the daily, and think it is a legit question. On the one hand, the app crashes at least once a day. On the other, haven't seen this issue of distracting notifications…

Those videos all sound like things that would be _very_ popular and if we could see it have a very good like to dislike ratio. They would likely be over 99% like vs dislike. If dis…
