That the infamous Windows BSoD, at least since the WinNT era started, are almost always caused by dodgy hardware, is common knowledge to anybody who has spent the least amount of time as a support tech on Windows machines. It's true that they could be better at communicating this.

I've never used ECC in my personal machines - I'm sure it's great - but since the early 00's or so, BSoDs are just not a thing that regular users experience unless they have bottom-tier or broken hardware, and people that buy low quality stuff are not likely to want to spring the extra cash for ECC anyway.

That's not the implication here.

The second sentence explains it perfectly fine to a layperson, and anyone used to interpreting plots has no real problem even without the supplied explanation. The only points of confusion for someone unfamiliar with the different models are the are the labels.

Perhaps those railing against high schools, colleges, and even post-graduate education, need to go back and deal with their *own* biases and self-delusions. The institutions and systems are there.

"imply"

I see you're trying to post a dupe on /.

We helped our uncle, Jack, off a horse.

Out of curiosity, I opened the web version (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fteams.microsoft.com%2Fv2%2F, in Firefox 144.0, on Mint 22.2, using Cinnamon 6.4.8 on a Beelink mini-desktop). To make the usual "test call", I can't go to three-dots (...)--> Settings --> Calls --> Devices (there is no "Devices" under THAT version of "Calls"). However, I CAN go to the "Calls" menu on the far left of the window --> Custom Setup (gear menu) --> Device Settings, and then do a Test Call.

From there, all works fine, including sound and video. Of course, all my Sound Input/Output devices work OK in the OS itself....

I used Firefox (not sure of what the version was) to successfully hold Teams meetings on the web on Mint (likely ~20 or 21), and Vivaldi on a different Mint system. I'm sorry I can't remember more. It was 6 months ago or so.

I have a couple of people I *can* "upgrade" to W11 from W10, but I think they're ideal candidates to move to Zorin or Mint.

MS used to supply a desktop client of Teams for LInux, but hasn't for a year or more at this point. However, the web interface works well enough. And if you don't mind snaps on your system, you can try wrapping the web interface in a sort of desktop app: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsnapcraft.io%2Fteams-for...

But the West restricts EV imports, so the prices are much higher.

We do the same thing with light trucks, yet they still sell quite well domestically, despite the higher price. ... maybe price isn't the only determining factor?

Cute, even with the unironic discussion of irony self-contradiction.

No one will know if you actually know what 'irony' means.

Time to start visiting the Church of All Worlds!
