For my current project I have to use Teams on a Mac. Priblems that I encounter daily: 1. I am invisible in conference calls, quiting and starting Teams sometimes helps. 2. Messages refuse to load. I get a notification but no message appears

We are a creature that can think we won the lottery because if we were a creature that couldn't we would not be able to think it. Also we think being human is the best because we are humans. Right between the start and the end of time

I feel you, around the same age I constantly bricked my BIOS. I forgot what motherboard it was. I had to find the same model motherboard from somebody, boot it with their BIOS, swap in when booted and use some rescue floppy to clone to BIOS

Unrelated but this message just thought me that 'to advance' some time is to make it earlier. I always assumed the opposite because it sounds like you push it forwards in time.

But here you look at chess, and not beyond it. What possibilities for games in general are opened up by computers?

I once found a huge trail of lemmings outside leading up to my cat. Quite difficult feeling for somebody who loves cats and also all other creatures. Luckily the cat has fully adjusted now for an indoor live.

First of all,.. incredible. I would not think this would become possible so fast. Also ofcourse as a programmer a little worrisome. Though I do not worry that much yet. We are talking about finding a solution an incredibly well written unam

Though is, 'you also cannot do this with a real notebook' valid argument? Neither can you upload pdf's to a real notebook or do all the other stuff that makes this device not just a ... regular notebook.
