Can someone translate it? The title seems to have nothing to do with the post, unless I'm misunderstanding the title, which I'm sure I am. Because it's nonsense.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say a product sold as a powder, and called Liquid IV, when IVs are traditionally liquid, is not to be taken seriously.
Just in case anyone takes this the wrong way, part of the purpose of over current protection is to keep wires from melting, so if your protection and the thing you're trying to protect both melt at the same time, your protection isn't really working.
I find it disorganized, poorly designed and buggy.
To test your quality, you need to make a test call, where it dials, rings, and connects. Then it plays a little message and you record after the beep, then it plays it back. For every other program I've used, you hit test, talk, then it plays it back. The Teams methods takes at least three times longer, incredibly annoying when trouble shooting.
If you start a test call, and hang up before it connects, it will ring on your computer forever.
There's a keypad where you dial numbers. When you connect and need to press numbers in an automated menu, you can't use that key pad. There's a different keypad behind a pop-up menu.
Some companies use letters in their phone numbers, like 1-800-AWESOME. It doesn't sort that out for you. If you type letters it tries to call then immediately hangs up without explanation.
These are all pretty small things, but there's already better things out there that don't have these problems. It's also almost unbelievable that it's like this. Teams is at least version 3 of MS's foray into telecommunications software, and it's developed by a team of career professionals. It's absurd that it's so unpolished.
First, it's not a very good analogy. Second, you can put a different radio in your car; you can't remove Teams without removing all of Office. Third, people would be pretty mad at Honda if their cars shipped with a piece of shit radio instead of something at least nice.
Edit: I take back the part about uninstalling Teams. You can do that. I was thinking of Skype for Business.
Yes, I've just said that languages evolve. I'm saying that "technology companies" has not yet and will not ever evolve to mean "companies that develop, produce, license or sell technology or technology services, and also Twitter". When Twitter starts getting involved in tech, it will be a tech company.
This statement indicates that what is technology is decided by popular opinion, not by any inherent meaning in words. Certainly the meaning of words change with time and they have no inherent meaning, so in a very real sense, definitions are decided by popular vote. However, if Twitter is a tech company, then so is every newspaper, magazine, bank, credit card company, any business with a data base for inventory management. It's a useless definition. Let's go with the actual mainstream definition of a tech company, a company that develops, produces, licenses or sells technology or technology services, and Twitter doesn't do any of that. It sells ad space and subscriptions, the business model of a media company.
It seems a lot of people here think that anyone who runs a Web site is a tech company.
A post about a tech company would at least be relevant, but Twitter isn't a tech company.
Twitter isn't a tech company any more than Visa or the New York Times are. Twitter uses technology. They do not develop, produce, or sell technology products or services. It is a media company that sells advertising space and subscriptions, just like a newspaper, something no one would call a tech company.
And all of the fractions in metric are just powers of 10: one tenth, one hundredth, one thousand. Powers of two are great when you're working in base 2. It's a big hassle when you're working in base 10.
Everyone also gravitates to length and how fractional powers of two are sensible. I'll grant that they're at least sensible although awkward in base 10. But what about every single other thing? For lengths greater than one inch, there's no consistent pattern. For volumes there's no pattern - mass, weight, etc. The thing is a monstrosity. People pick out one part that's halfway acceptable and act like that's a defense of the rest of the pile of garbage.
