#242They killed Microsoft Academic?! I totally missed this. I was a huge fan of that tool
Re: Killed by Microsoft
#243Contrary to Google, Microsoft often provide a migration path to another of their service covering the same usecases. Examples: Skype For Business => Teams. Microsoft Edge => Chromium Edge. Windows 10 IoT Core => It's not dead ??? Office Viewer => Web Based Office Kinect => It's not dead ??? Microsoft Anti-Virus for Windows => Windows Defender Come on, microsoft has big flaws but backward compat/keeping old product al…
There was also MSN messenger, which was more capable than Skype other than the connection to the actual telephone network (having messages be delivered later without requiring both people to be online at the same time - amazing!) and when Teams replaced Skype, even more features were dropped. What part of that is positive other than "well, you can still do some of the things but we prefer to give you an inferior prod…
When Teams came out it didn’t have feature parity with SfB, despite their claims that it did, but here in 2022, it does. At least I can’t think of a sing feature in SfB that’s not in Teams now, and can think of many features that have been radically improved. Never used consumer Skype too much, what are you missing in Teams now?

https://killedbygoogle.com/ contains Nexus. That was clearly replaced by Pixel. Disclosure: I work at Google, but not on anything related to this.
Honestly some of the things that website includes seem a bit wacky to me.
I feel similarly about the Google Home Max. Was it really killed in 2020, if the latest version of the firmware came out in 2022? Can we say that Google killed the Pixel 4, since the hardware is no longer being sold but it's still receiving updates?
The inclusion of Angular 1 is also kinda questionable to me. Even though Angular 1 code isn't totally forwards compatible, there is a pretty clear migration path for moving to Angular 2 and beyond

Chat/teams itself yeah, compared to slack; and it's mostly/only UI related. Video and audio is leagues above however, and recordings integrated with Stream works like a charm. It's unbelievable how shitty audio and video is in slack however. If microsoft got its UI/UX game, it's easier to get that right than the other way around.
Have you tried other tools? Discord, zoom, webex have way better audio and video quality and include video sharing. FaceTime has superb audio and video but no screen sharing.
Webex, really? Didn’t the zoom people leave Cisco to make a better Webex? The only people I know still using webex are the feds. Honestly I don’t have issues with teams voice and video, it seems largely commodity at this point, though zoom certainly talks up their ability to maintain quality over crummy connections.

No... Sorry just no Nexus line was an Affordable/ value reference implantation of Android Pixel is an overpriced atrocity marketing platform for Google. Pixel IS NOT a replacement for Nexus
I think the Nexus 6 cost $50 more than the Pixel 6 does, even before you take inflation into account

Yes! Teams is by far the worst "popular" software i've ever used. It's so bad that eventhough most businesses depend on teams, they, as well as everyone else, would be better off if teams suddenly disappears from one day to another. edit: Just a few things that annoy me basically on a daily basis: - The status isn't always up to date. Sometimes it takes minutes to you or your contacts to show the correct status. - It…
- Notifications will continue to trigger for chat threads of meetings I’m no longer a part of, for teams I’m no longer in. - I can’t create bullet points and numbered lists because breaklines will frequently send the message instead of continuing the list. - You’ve already mentioned this, but the ability to change volume for individual speakers should be considerer core functionality. I’d rather use Discord for offic…
- The search is garbage, and if you are actually able to find what you're looking for, you still can't get the contextual messages around your result.

#248The one I miss most was Microsoft Office Picture Editor.

>Kinect => It's not dead ??? Is it alive? It very much has an immensely passionate community of students and hobbyists using it in ways well past its intended use (e.g. it's some of the cheapest mocap hardware you can buy). But I don't think you've been able to officially purchase one for 4+ years now. Hard to call that "alive" in a business sense. Honestly a real shame that Xbox hasn't pivoted it into some other tea…
There are still games coming out with Kinect support (Just Dance 2022)
There are still games coming out for the c64.

Maybe? That doesn't tell anything about Webex being worse than Teams, though. People may also leave Zoom to make a better Zoom tomorrow.
