    I have a “laptop”.

    Most of our systems are uselessly slow when accessed over the internet. RDP performs far better and my office workstation has far more capability than my useless surface (which I only use during meetings), or any other laptop I would ever get.

    I think I used the VPN once and gave up after 10 minutes. Huge waste of time.

    I also eat at my desk. Le sad...

    Anyway, segue into my P-Peeve...
    My life the last 3 days. Fuck off! I'm this weird version of hungry and thirsty or full at completely wrong times. I haven't had a beer at lunch in like 2~ish days and no wine with dinner and no rum/nog and no gin and no Turtles and no Hedgehogs and no PrimeRib/Turkey/Ham sandwiches and I need to get out of bed near 06:00 and go to bed before 02:00 and... WtF!??!

    Yeah I guess I'm being a bit myopic here, based on my own usage. I only use Teams, Outlook, Ppt, Excel, and (very occasionally) word. Capability/computing power don't impact me whatsoever.

    Yea there are a few tools I use many hours a day that performance is 10-20x difference between being local on my ssd versus accessing on the network or oracle. Doing that over the internet would probably multiple the problem by another 2-5X.

    That’s without even factoring in the low power i3 in my surface compared to the desktop i7 in my workstation which makes a dramatic difference on its own.

    I’d personally like to get more away from that crap with time but that’s life.

    Accumap doesn’t even function at all over VPN.

    Not specific to that. In general seems to happen at least half the time here.

    Even stuff that I'm selling for money I end up PM'ing and waiting a week for a response, which still doesn't include a phone number and then it cycles.

    We would run it off the server at the office and now have to locally install it on every machine and use vpn for the license. Like 5 gb update ever two weeks and it took a hundred years to install on my surface because their installer is shit.

    I’ve told people they should bake my severance into the cost savings to move us exclusively to accumap if we turf Geoscout

    Fuck that program

    I remember bringing in Geoscout to replace Accumap, but some Geos were too attached, so we ended up running both apps in parallel. Ridiculous. That was also a decade ago. Now, I just don't have to deal with that stuff.

    Running both is the worst of both worlds. I blame the geos for everything, as a rule.

    At an undisclosed former company we kept a site wide accumap license around for 2 employees who refused to move on.

    I could care less about running both tbh, it’s small potatoes in terms of cost as long as you manage your seats accordingly.

    I think at my current shop we have a near 50/50 mix of both, and not drawn clearly along disciplinary lines. I am “fluent” in both but I don’t consider that a good reason to use the inferior product others prefer.

    When people talk about rumors and say "from what I heard" as if they talked to someone they knew that had inside knowledge but all they did was read it off of a nobody on an online message board.

    Ordered through Uber eats, restaurant screwed up the order

    Restaurant won’t fix it, says I need to go through Uber eats, UE says sorry for the screw up but we won’t do anything about it

    I can side with the restaurant on this one. Even if it's their mistake, they get ground down so hard by Uber/Skip etc that they really don't have the profit margins that they would have if you ordered direct from them. If Uber won't do anything about it, are you boycotting Uber? Probably not, and they know it.
