It's 2:15PM and you send me an invite for a 4pm meeting. How about ... no.

why the ****, in the year 2021 of our lord, are we compressing videos to the point of audial and visual indecipherableness in group texts?

maybe it’s just an apple being apple thing but it’s really annoying

Speaking of, had an “urgent” ticket Friday afternoon from somebody whose PowerPoint was constantly crashing in their Citrix desktop. Dude was embedding high res video files directly into the presentation, and attempting to save the 2.9GB files over the network. Didn’t even want to hear me suggest compressing that **** before saving it.

It’s incredible how angry I get at echo. I have one of the better sound ones and I’ll play music from it pretty often and it’s always fun when I’m screaming “ECHO!!!!” at the top of my lungs trying to get it to hear me over whatever music I’m playing at 10/10 volume. Then sometimes she’ll hear my initial call and when I say “pause” or “pause music” or whatever she continues playing. Happens maybe once a month that she doesn’t understand the word pause/stop/whatever.

Also:
“Echo play Kids by MGMT”
“Playing songs by Management”
“Echo pause. Echo play the song Kids by MGMT”
“Kids by Management is only available on Amazon music” (I have Spotify premium, it’s my default player and Kids is on there. I play it all the time. What the ****)

I think I get extra angry because it’s a computer and shouldn’t have variation in how it interprets the same voice commands (other than for weird edge case bugs)

I’m a pretty calm person. I rarely if ever yell at another human being. But my echo makes my blood boil sometimes, which is hilarious because I use it often and love it. But it makes me irrationally angry too

It's definitely an Apple thing. My wife's whole family has iPhones and when they send a video it's like trying to discern five pixels.

Yeah have to give it more context. I thought you were an IT guy

“Alexa, play Never Gonna Give You Up from My Music on repeat at max volume.” Works every time

Excel and how it trims leading zeros when you save as CSV.

But then you have and apostrophe in your data.

You can also do ="005" and it will keep the leading zeros.

I’m at 6-8 calls a day now, with a standing daily one at 5-6 with my boss. Had 12 calls last Tuesday. There’s no such thing as lunch anymore.

I miss doing work at work.

Oh yeah. The apostrophe is for displaying data, not manipulation

We had a Spotify playlist called "123 Summer". Our first time asking Google Nest Mini to play we said "Hey Google, play the playlist 123 (like saying each number separate) Summer on Spotify" and Google would play some other unrelated Summer playlist. So we learned we had to tell Google by spelling out "one hundred twenty three Summer" and it would play the right one. That was too much of a pain so we renamed the playlist lol

Do you send an IM that says "Hey John" and just wait for them to reply? Or do you put the important stuff all in one IM like, "Hey John! I was just wondering...blah blah blah".
