This is the reverse of this Ask HN thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11995816
- viraptor 10y agoAny corporate VPN. Hipchat. Outlook. Windows. Any printer software which contains anything apart from basic driver itself. Firmware update tools. System update tools. That's just from today and I haven't even had lunch yet...
- adomanico 10y agoXcode. A ton of great features but hopelessly unreliable and un-stable. Here is to hoping that Xcode 8 breaks the cycle.
- baptistem 10y agoSkype for business. Because I need a VM to have it running on linux. The quality is even worst than the skype for individuals. The web client is useless (no video, no audio. based on User-Agent) Their is no fallback on phone. The android client won't connect you if you didn't give your phone number. By default you can't see your full company directory in your contact You can apply most of this to office365. Excluding that the web clients are not that bad (if you forget about live edit, and phone client) Outlook too. filtering your mail without telling you. Creating folder without your agreement
