This. I'm honestly not quite sure what kind of supercomputer would be needed to have Teams not lag. I'm kind of OK with having to wait around for a compile or other heavy "modern workload" (though I must say I don't do this all day every day). But it drives me absolutely crazy to have basic software lag when I type. This absolutely kills the experience for me.

I use Teams daily on a MacBook Pro with 32 GB RAM. If I walk away from the laptop and Teams detects idleness, it starts consuming 100% CPU and the fan turns on. Returning to the computer, everything is dog slow for several minutes. Drives me crazy. The other thing that drives me crazy about Teams is there still is no “temporary mute” for channels. I can’t mute a channel for say, an hour. I have to suffer through noti…

It's probably mining crypto when idle.

Yowsah. I’m so grateful that I’m not required to use Teams frequently.

Does Teams have a docker image that you can run with cpu/memory limit?

Foobar is the "new" Winamp, it has been for 15years+ https://www.foobar2000.org/

I've used both Foobar and MusicBee (on Windows) and personally I prefer MusicBee's interface. It works well with my library of 21k files - not sure how it performs with libraries much larger.

I never got on with Winamp and switched to foobar2000 after getting hold of a fairly early release (pre-v0.3) sometime in 2002. It's been my mainstay audio player ever since.

Older software like this runs extremely fast on my newest hardware. Switching to lightweight native apps is sometimes more of a speedup than dropping >$3000 on new a workstation class laptop. Of course, you usually need the latest hardware to eat through modern workloads. But aside from that, I sometimes forget clearing out software bloat is a much more effective way to gain performance, productivity and improvements…

I use a 14" M1 MPB. The ARM version of Teams running on it is by far the best Teams experience I've had. I still loathe Teams overall, but we have to use it at work. It's definitely much less bad than it was on my 16GB Ryzen 4800u laptop.

I just disable all notifications. Life's better that way

Can't do that if I want to keep my job. Expectations.

Hadn't thought of that - maybe you're right.
