I wonder what exactly Microsoft did with “New Teams” that was supposedly written in Rust and uses the system browser engine or whatever instead of Electron. On release it seemed better, but now it seems as bloated, slow and annoying as the Electron one. MS Teams seems to have some incurable infection.

If I could, MS Teams would be the second tool I’d eject out (after Outlook and Exchange). But the company I work in is tied to MS 365 and will not give up on Teams and its useless cousin SharePoint.

Gold has a few properties: one is that it has had value through history and another is that it’s a physical asset, and because of these two properties, it’s quite liquid. It’s also a metal that doesn’t naturally corrode.

Central banks of countries hold various kinds of assets, including bonds and currencies of other countries. But bonds and currencies are just “paper”…or are more vulnerable than gold to shocks in certain conditions.

The disadvantage of physical gold is that it doesn’t generate any income by itself, as compared to bonds.

During times of higher uncertainty, people and institutions (including central banks) flock to gold.

Not GP and haven’t participated in this thread. I’m clueless on what the point in your earlier comment is. Can you elaborate, please?

I can try. Which part is confusing to you, the "nvidia will charge as much as it can" part or the "utilities won't" part?

Sadly, this site requires a login or registration with an email just to get the shortcut. I guess I may be able to find a similar one that’s just shared by someone on their iCloud storage.

Oh that sucks. Wasn't trying to shill for that site. I've got this one but I can't remember where I got it from and it doesn't work for youtube links. There's probably a better one out there if you look around.

> but the reality is that these OLED panels offer industry-leading image quality

Except in scenes with fire (like a campfire) or where some spots may have high brightness compared to the surroundings. The LG OLED TVs I’ve seen all go blank in such scenes. The TVs I’ve seen that have LCD panels don’t have this issue. It seems like the only way to disable it (after turning off power saving and a few other things) is to buy and use a service remote to turn off ASBL. From my online reading, it seems like doing this may void the warranty and probably have negative effects on the life of the panel.

I have an LG OLED and have never seen it go blank on any scene.

It just looks great all the time. Especially on scenes like you describe with a dark scene with bright highlights. Campfire scenes look great, space scenes look great. That's what OLED is best at.

If you're talking about ABL, I've only noticed the dimming on ads or powerpoint lectures that have fully white backgrounds, and I've been thankful for it at those times because I find all-white backgrounds too bright to watch anyway.

Wow, I hadn’t heard about this before. I like that it’s FOSS with AGPL 3. The OnlyOffice screenshots of the spreadsheet application look beautiful (compared to the ugly LibreOffice Calc ones). It says that it works with ODS files (which LibreOffice Calc uses).

Any gotchas to be aware of with OnlyOffice?

It can't handle OpenDocument files (odt, odp, ods) well. Only a one-way import is supported. https://helpcenter.onlyoffice.com/docs/userguides/document_e...

There are parts that are not released under a Free Software license but that's unclear from their marketing-communication. #openWashing

https://www.softmaker.com/en/products/softmaker-office is a thing as well, and I prefer it to Only Office. The maker is German.

It's a bit slower performance wise

I sometimes use Apple Numbers for some quick and dirty lists, but it severely lacks in keyboard use and keyboard navigation when compared to Excel.

> Excel is the best spreadsheet software in my experience when you have to move beyond the basics. I’ve even tried hard to use the open/Libre alternatives.

I strongly agree, but even for the basics! I use LibreOffice for personal use and put up with it only because it’s not Microsoft. It’s laggy, copy paste sometimes doesn’t work, the user interface is quite dated, the fonts are ugly…the list goes on. I donate to Document Foundation so that it can get better, but it moves very slowly.

Have you tried LO's other interfaces under View > User Interface? There is Standard, Tabbed, and five other variations.

I have used Typst as an alternative for spreadsheet use cases.

Security has not been Microsoft’s priority for many years now. The CEO just says some words that don’t mean anything.
