@LottieJohn1 @ItisJudge First there was a spark. Then a flame. Then a fire. Then a bonfire. Then (big gap) a lightbulb. Then TV. Then videoconferencing with issues. Then Skype. Then video for everyone. Then chaos. Tech is a beautifully dangerous companion thrust upon the unweary traveller. #hipcounsel

This is a disease that has a huge impact on lower wage service workers. You can’t stock shelves via Zoom. Microsoft Teams wont give Alzheimer patients their meds. Skype won’t pick up the trash. /42

If the crocodile will be real, these steps will help. Step 1 - Paid\Free VPN Step 2 - Skype Phone number Step 3 - Bind the numbers to your social accounts and your mail if possible @EndSarsResponse could this be advisable for those who want to be actively involved online?

@elenadice1976 @dementia_physio Yes! When my late dad went into his care home his main requests were a TV to watch the news, WiFi so he could Skype his grandson, and the @FT delivered every day. One of the very last things he did (with help from me) was put a cross on his postal ballot paper.

@BSNLCorporate @CMDBSNL Going for BSNL fibre internet: anyone out there don't go for it, it has frequent request timeout issue, latency is bad. If you are working remotely or into multiplayer gaming don't go for it. U can't do a proper Skype call with a 15mbos plan.

I used Skype this past week for the first time in forever, after a 2020 filled with Zoom, and GOOD LORD is Skype a hunk of utter shite. It’s a massive resource hog, both of system resources and bandwidth (I shut down background processes, apps, and cut off access to my wifi)

ONCE AGAIN an important interview - this time with a Rabbi who saw the terrible events in Vienna last night - was ruined because @BBCRadio4 insist on using Skype or similar. If it’s important, USE AN OLD FASHIONED PHONE CALL! Infuriating.

I need to interview people that either shop or sell stuff on Amazon for a homework. It will be a 10-15 min via facetime/zoom/skype, and I will pay you $15 worth on an Amazon gift card. Please help me out!
