I do care when applications waste a lot of RAM and cores but application performance is still terrible. Looking at you, Microsoft Teams. I don't remember mIRC ever being a slouch, even on a Windows 95 PC with 8mb of RAM.
- ajsnigrutin 3y agoYep, skype is horrible too (hmm... could there be any connection, I wonder who bought skype a few years ago...), even if you use the same functionality as with irc clients (just text chat). Fucking slow to respond, replaces code snippets with emoticons and every time you send anyone an URL, it has microsoft servers open that url... "just in case"... even if it's a http://192.168.1.100/ http://192.168.1.100/ url, which is clearly on a private ip address, and there's no way microsoft servers will be able to connect to that, but you'll still have to wait for a timeout before the message gets through.
- StuffMaster 3y agoI came here to make a similar comment. I've made the same Teams/mIRC comment before myself.
