@geochili Current findings: Problem is, these days, is resumes are ran through AI software before they pass and get to a human; some want video/audio recording for "first interviews" (not even live Skype or the like); or ask for "text to apply". It's all completely impersonal and sterile.

@Outlook Signing in is not the problem. It’s the verification after. I don’t have subject lines or Skype names from years ago.

A friend who’s an innovation person at pharma says it’s worse for them because everyone thinks they are a tech expert because they use Facebook sometimes. They are also confused with IT and are asked to fix Skype or email problems

@MelBala Meetings must b on Skype if one expects productivity. Heavy rain and traffic lights not working means chaos and taking Bolt or uber is madness, under these conditions. Sowi boo. Think we need to live differently to cope with the new Dawn. Generators, petrol or gas. I dont gas

@4ndyman Well, taking a picture is a good start! That counts for something. And I’m happy to help at any point. Heck, we could even chat over Skype video and we could walk through the major features and such—or whatever might work for you. (Or if that’s not your thing, that’s okay too.)

@ogsaltqueen @lindsaydemeola No! I did it online for anxiety! Was $150 total for housing and flying papers. I spoke to a therapist on skype for 15 minutes, had my paper within 20 minutes and have not had a single issue for either of my dogs.

It’s so weird that when @discordapp goes down we’re at a complete standstill, but just a few years ago we jumped between Mumble, TeamSpeak, Skype, hell even Xbox live parties

The problem is bloody useless WiFi - obsession with 5 G before decent universal WiFi provision - is do Skype visits if my so called ‘optical broadband’ worked

@momo7reza @Babak_BKHT @SoOpranOoS @mahdi @Skype @commerzbank Yes you can. They had some issues with postident for couple of months and now it is fixed. People from several other countries had same issue. I already have an account in n26 for couple of years without any issues and I know people who opened one recently. Try again...

@thomkearney @LibraryArchives All is managed *properly* in backend; IM invisible to users. Collab can be enable with an EDRMS however problem is firewalls bc security. Yes, some folks care about security. Now on WebEx. It’s sucks but better than nothing. In my dept we use Skype & Skype for business w outside.

@AlexHolmeset @cchiffers For Skype or any import module I write a connect function and then in my loops catch the session timeout error and re call the connect function. Another tip is if your script takes a while then write in disconnects and new connects to release shell session limits

BIG SURPRISE in the middle of a really important Skype call, my @Xfinity service stops working properly. Some things never change.
