Did you solve it? It looks as if it’s generated. I would guess it’s the lower fridge in case the items are supposed to be falling and the fridge will be the first one to hit the floor.
Stopping smoking is easy, i used to do it every time my cigarette went out, quitting on the other hand is a lifelong task, but it is worth the struggle. I still crave cigarettes to this day, but dont miss being a slave to that addiction. I would literally collect cigarette butts off the ground and reroll them. If i can quit so can you.
I hate it so much. I want to do one simple search. Instead I get bullshit ad google links that are irrelevant, then MS MS Edge pushes me into Copilot for more garbage, which I have to mouse out of. Stract has become by search engine to get back the nostalgia of when the web wasn’t all shit
Thanks for the suggestion. What differences have you noticed compared to Google. Do you always find what you’re looking for. Have you tried searching niche stuff like some really old painting or an obscure compiler error etc.
Weird that it gave me a link to franchise a taco joint when I searched for tacos near me.
I wouldn’t consider “tacos near me” a representative search; google specifically optimizes searching for products and especially local food.
I just searched for “first speedrun” and the first few results are decent but wrong, and the videos, shorts, and related searches after the first 2 entries are complete garbage.
Being served 70% links to products sucks when searching anything related to a product isn’t fun either.
Oh, whoops, I wasn’t comparing Stract, I was comparing Google. Those are the reasons I don’t use Google search, I hadn’t tried Stract yet.
After trying it, it seems cool. Not the best at broad meanings though. “Ram” returns an Indian politician as the “answer”, a site in Japanese for the first link, and then mostly results for Random Access Memory after. No reference to the Dodge Ram (thank Odin), but also no reference to male sheep.
It also feels very anti-store, which is a nice change, but might ve an artifact of the seemingly anti-SEO stance, with random results from anywhere. Maybe that’s just the European focus?
It also has issues with getting context from multiple keywords, and doesn’t prioritize say “street car” over pages that happen to contain both “street” and “car”. Excluding keywords with “-” works though, very nice. Quotes can help with phrases to, so " “street car” " finds exactly things called “street car” with the space. Both still miss streetcars though. Misspelling corrections are offered but not assumed, which is very nice.
Definitely the biggest issue is the seemingly random results. This might be good if you’re searching for an exact string that is only present in a few places, but anything common and it’s a crapshoot. It’s nearly unable to find anything to do with shamrocks, prefering to find business’ named Shamrock.
Yeah, likely they’re using the same backend to provide voip services (maybe skype’s backend just scaled up) . Teams must’ve borrowed something from skype given how haphazardly it was developed and released.
MS Teams actually makes use of WebRTC. That’s a standard for VoIP (and similar) via web browsers. Mozilla and Google standardized that a few years ago and implemented it in their browsers, so what Microsoft did, is that they basically shipped a whole Google Chrome to users.
I believe, they did rip some code from Skype for Business for the integration into Windows, though. In the early days, the OS would say that the Teams notifications came from Skype for Business.
yep and running teams would have skype services running…here is MS PR
Transitioning from Skype for Business to Microsoft Teams To deliver smarter calling and meeting experiences with intelligent communications, we are bringing Skype for Business capabilities into Microsoft Teams
I mostly use it to make international calls cause sometimes the country my folks are living in shuts down the cellular internet for some reason when major exams/riots are happening and whatsapp stops working.
Imaging telling a whole nation of people they can’t use internet on their 500+ dollar phone. The fuck did they buy them for, playing temple run?
Btw you can suggest them the Briar messenger app. It can send messages via nearby peoples phones if they also have Briar. So if enough people installed it, a city could have it’s own messaging network even when the official one is down
It’s still one of the best options for video calling. Available on all the major platforms, no time limits, the quality is great. International call rates are some of the cheapest out there.
To rip off investors. If they pretend to be on the same hype train as everyone else, and lie about what their product does, there’s a chance some idiot will give them more money.
Fuckin’ hell, investors don’t know shit about the shit they are investing in do they, if all you need to do is slap some bullshit buzzwords on it and they’ll suck your dick.
It’s a buzz word.
ChatGPT came out and all the other tech companies like Google freaked the fuck out because they weren’t first to the market.
In response they started adding AI to Google search.
Well, Microsoft can’t let that stand either so now they’re both in a mad dash to put it in fucking everything before the other guy does.
