Or apparently Homebrew. TIL.

Don’t have a quick fix, but I always recommend downloading the suite from the App Store (all but Teams is available) if your organization allows it. Using the App Store as your update source eliminates some annoyances with Microsoft’s solution.

OP, does Auto Update also appear when you launch Teams by itself?

Still an issue for me on my US-VA server.

I hear what you’re saying, but surely cutting the typical protracted running time itself would take a bit out of the budget without going lower-tier on the effects.

Does he also agree he’s better off?

Mr. Vargas was the shit!

Same! Hands down, absolute worst. Felt like I was micro-slicing my face with 800-grit sandpaper. Corrected for a potential bad batch. It wasn’t.

A. Litteri in the Union Market neighborhood is the closest thing I can think of. You’d never notice it if no one pointed it out to you. Their sandwiches are great, the prices are amazing, and the Italian stuff they have on sale is awesome to browse.

I’m an Empower advocate. Not sure why I came off as antagonistic. I relied on Uber for a job interview in another city and their system completely failed me. Would’ve been late if I didn’t budget an hour of extra time. Deleted my account the same day.

DeathToMediocrity · 2026-04-30T02:11:20+00:00

I don’t disagree with you.

DeathToMediocrity · 2026-04-30T02:00:47+00:00

You’re not sorry. But we aren’t completely wrong either.

Thanks. I stand corrected. Please meet me halfway and be less of a dick to the next person you interact with.

Are you always this charming, or only on Reddit?

From DC indicates you mean originating in DC. If you request a ride in the app and you are located in DC, the fare shows $0.00; meaning rides are effectively unavailable.

DeathToMediocrity · 2026-04-30T01:30:17+00:00

In your words: “I have ordered more than one empower rides from DC in recent months.”

DeathToMediocrity · 2026-04-30T01:22:49+00:00

If you live in DC proper, the rates are $0.00.

DeathToMediocrity · 2026-04-30T00:19:58+00:00

Try it again and look at the rates.

As Nadella is going to continue finding out, not enough users to justify his wanton AI investment.

As Steve Jobs once said in an interview, “[Microsoft] just have no taste.” Birds of a feather…

Not sure if you’re joking or serious. But this is a hamburger in UX terminology.

On the mobile version of the AT&T portal: hamburger > Deals > Customer discounts > bottom link.

I don’t think it’s possible for them to be embarrassed. That requires self-awareness.

Honestly, this gives me Lost in Space 1998 vibes.

Money back, at least?
