There's about 5 different Hermes/Evri couriers here and it's a complete toss up as to whether your parcel gets delivered or delayed or thrown into a random garden.
DPD are outstanding, though.

I think its DPD where you can nominate a pickup point in town which is a magic combo of a Parcel Point, a third party printer ink cartridge shop and a vape shop.
You can drop off a parcel, grab some toner and stock up on candy floss apple pie vape juice.

Don't forget to rate your delivery, in a real life version of Black Mirror's Nosedive

As a recent convert from Slack, MS Teams sucks ass.

Wait! Is that my package under the hedge? Yes! It is my package! Damp and covered in mud. The last time I had a parcel delivered to the hedge, they'd put it inside a sturdy plastic sleeve, which I thought was quite nice. Still annoying but I appreciated it

*starts a new Teams conversation*
"Hi <name>" "Quiques tionck"
Second line gets jumbled to shit every single fucking time. Piece of shit!
At least they finally seem to have fixed the image preview not working.

Been using teams for a few years and never seen a line of text jumbled like that.

Me neither. I don't have any issues with Teams really.

At mine we have multiple IT networks across the company. On the network I have to use teams doesn’t work, however on one project I’m on we’re using teams. Some can use it, some can’t, some never tried.

It's only if you start a conversation with someone new and type two lines in quick succession. In fairness I've adapted to it and just give it a second to sort itself out. Or better yet, just don't talk to new people.
Pretty sure I saw a similar complaints on Reddit before, but it might just be a quirk due to something in our environment (our web proxy is absolute dogshit, so I wouldn't be surprised)

Mine lags a lot. Teams is surprisingly memory heavy. It also sometimes doesnt show the 'meeting has started' notification, which is annoying.

It's shit on OSX, too. So bad that despite having a fully licensed client installed (from O365), if I have to, I use the web client.

We switched from Google Suite to MS365 last year and I hate Teams with a passion. It’s shit.

The Office suite has always been an especially shit experience on Macs. Office 2011 was just plain awful!

You feel my pain. Also missing all the nice bits Google added to their productivity apps which are missing from the Office equivalents.

If you have workplace joined Macs then bug your IT to see what release cycle you’re on and opt in to public preview (click the ellipsis, about, check for public and/or dev previews). Mac Silicon Teams came out a little while ago and is a thousand times better than the Rosetta/Electron balls that got hastily thrown together.

Speaking of Macs, our employee purchase scheme opens tomorrow and Im probaby going to get an iphone and a macbook. The scheme is through an apple reseller who have finally bitten the bullet and changed their name to Select from....
...Stormfront
I genuinely cant believe how long they battled through having to wade through two pages of Nazi shit and The Boys character bios before anyone found their website on google. Absolutely fucking amazing.

Holy fuck. Imagine asking someone you meet at a party what they do and they come out with that bit of info. Love that press release that very blandly avoids the massive elephant in the room.

'They rebranded because people are returning to the high street'. Lol, no.

Absolutely fucking amazing. Oh good God. I just got flashbacks to some poor guy on GameFAQs that had the username Stormfront## (some number I can't recall). There was a Pokemon TCG expansion with that name at some point and he thought it was cool (FWIW it's also a weather term). He was suitably mortified when people explained to him what it was more commonly associated with after a chance encounter with a troll... Said poor schmuck was yours truly, BTW. I'd genuinely never heard of the Nazi group before (and was like 14 at the time, if that). Thankfully most users that actually caught it were sympathetic to the explanation and I otherwise had a pretty good experience in the forums back when I was still actively posting. Would definitely create a different account if I ever went back though!

I always wondered why skate brand Independent had an Iron Cross as their logo. I know they strongly deny that’s what it is, and technically it has rounded sides instead of straight, but it’s still almost identical to a universally recognised hate symbol and probably not ideal for your brand.

I really like that the ITV trails for Aquaman feature Amber Herd pulling a "stepped on a bee" face.
