I bought a giant pair of bolt cutters a while back for a use case other than bolt cutting (shark fishing; cut the big hook instead of putting your hand near the mouth). I never caught any big sharks like I thought, but now my wife runs a re

Teams is better than Skype or Lync. Is it better than Slack? Unclear. It is better than it used to be. Assuming you have noticed it acting weird and restarted it as many as 3 times until all the updates have been applied.
