WebEx is night and day better than everything else imo. The only advantage teams has is NDI, but otherwise it’s a complete joke in every other comparison.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•Credit Cards Don’t Require Signatures. So Why Do We Still Sign?English8·7 months agoBasically, the US banking system is made up of many smaller banks, unlike most other countries where there are fewer, larger banks.
This coupled with a large land mass with high population makes it more difficult to make the expensive infrastructure upgrades necessary for modern banking innovations like tap to pay and the loss of the need for physical signatures.
Many of these innovations are only making it to the US now because of larger foreign banks entering the US market, as well as the plummeting costs of technology.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•For the dudes here... What "girl" song you secretly love?32·11 months agoPossibly because this thread is about the songs, not the producers, but please I would absolutely love for you to expand on what it tells you about how music is perceived in the mainstream, should my eyes ever stop spinning like a one armed bandit.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most recurring theme/element in your nightmares?3·1 year agoFalling down a flight of stairs, or otherwise tripping on something.
When I was younger it was dreams about infinitely large objects, usually a cube.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Who else wakes up and has to blow their nose or clear their airways every morning and why?7·1 year agoI have mild sleep apnea and a night device that improves my airways has eliminated my sinus congestion in the mornings. Talk to a dentist that specializes in sleep apnea.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•When you're writing a song, how do you know it isn't just a song you've heard before but don't recognise?1·1 year agoYou can’t, so you must assume that whatever you create has already been created and if people notice it’s a sign you did well to emulate the source material.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•how did "step" porn become so popular when we did such a good job keeping scat and insest porn out of the mainstream for so long261·1 year agoBecause you can just mute it and it becomes regular porn, so it does double duty.
I’m just happy to know others acknowledge that bearglove (and wolfthorne) are the best smelling wildly available deodorants. White is antiperspirant, blue is still just deodorant.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?English1·1 year agoExactly, lttp was perfection and we already had decent 3d with mouse and keyboard controls on PC, it was a major step back. I guess that was just Nintendo nintendoing what Nintendo nintendoes.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•Which games do you dislike, but the rest of the world loves them?English2·1 year agoI’m so glad someone else feels the same way I do about OoT. I could go on for hours about how Nintendo ruined their franchise with cheap gimmicky 3D at the time, and that damned controller.
I’m not so on board with the rest, being a massive dark souls fan myself, but diversity makes us stronger and all that, you do you.
Canon laser, no question.
I believe they manufacture for other brands including brother, but I just woke up and I’m too lazy to reference. You like doing online research like this anyway, so you’re welcome.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•TikTok says it’s not the algorithm, teens are just pro-Palestine — The company denied allegations that it has been promoting pro-Palestine content in an effort to sway American opinionEnglish1·2 years agoI’m convinced this whole tiktok is manipulating the algorithm thing is actually US propaganda.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•After Axing Headlines, Elon Musk To Hide Retweet, Like Buttons On Twitter25·2 years agoI never understood the appeal of twitter before Elon bought it, and I understand it less with every news report about it since.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What games do you think would be great if they'd get properly remastered and would be a hit if it was done?4·2 years agoE.V.O. Search for Eden
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Games@lemmy.world•The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 02-10-2023English5·2 years agoDecided to give cs2 a shot, probably haven’t played CS since shortly after csgo was released. Community seems worse, but do those reflexes kick back in even when you’re an old man, and hearing the laments from young people as you mop the floor with them is an unexpected joy.
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato Gaming@beehaw.org•What type of game you want to see that doesn't fully exist yet?6·2 years agoZombie apocalypse game with souls like combat but all slow zombies. The game takes your GPS coordinates (or any coordinates you enter) and uses a maps API call to generate the game map based on the real world. It would take things like residential/commercial/industrial areas and generate similar structures but not exact to not be a privacy issue. All major landmarks would be generated. So you could start from your house, or the Eiffel tower, or the middle of the Amazon. Things like grocery stores and malls and schools would be in similar locations, roads and highways etc.
The game would generate slightly different every time you create a map so while always based on the real world, things would be different.
You then must rescue your partner who is across the map (random generated) and find shelter.
There would be some crafting and survival mechanics, but mostly action based combat, skills to level up etc. Minimal if non-existent gunplay, though I’d be open to it if done well.
Very gorey, rogue like/light with persistent stats and incremental style progression (get so far then reset/start new map with higher their upgrades)
So think dead rising meets dark souls, mixed with vampire survivors and incremental games, all with this AR framework. I also considered a multiplayer persistent map br style mode but would prefer a single player experience myself
adaveinthelife@lemmy.cato World News@lemmy.world•American XL bully dogs to be banned after attacks, Rishi Sunak saysEnglish73·2 years agoHow many Basset Hound owners are wannabe tough guys? Not trying to excuse the behaviour, but there is definitely at least a correlation between behaviour of the dogs and that of their owners.
I have limited experience, but Cisco using the same part number for subsequent generations of a part is just mind boggling. Having to call your Cisco rep to demand a picture of the part they’re sending because they’ve sent the old version twice now is just mind boggling.
And yes, I’m prepared to receive a picture of the old part, I have embraced it.
