What do you prefer to hear while on hold? Music? Nothing? A voice telling you how much they care? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

A real lesser of multiple evils.

The hold noises I hate the least is classical music. As long as it’s a high enough quality to not become garbled by the phone’s bandwidth.

    "The glory of creation is in its infinite diversity." - Doctor Miranda Jones

    The Enterprise is ordered to transport the Medusan Ambassador Kolios to his homeworld. Traveling with him are Doctor Miranda Jones, a human telepath that was selected to join minds with Kilios and Larry Marvick, one of the designers of the Enterprise's engines. Captain Kirk, Commander Spock, and Doctor McCoy join the two for dinner to discuss their mission and accomplishments when Jones suddenly senses the desire to murder coming from someone. When she returns to her quarters, Marvick follows her and confesses his love to her, pleading that she not go with Kolios to the Medusan homeworld. She lets him down as gently as she can, but he becomes enraged and attempts to assassinate Ambassador Kolios. Failing to do so, he retreats to Engineering where he momentarily commandeers the ship and sends it through the galactic barrier at high warp. In a void outside of the galaxy with no bearings to find their way back, Spock proposes a risky plan to mind meld with Kolios, an expert at astrological navigation, so that his being can take control of Spock's body to return the Enterprise to known space.

    All modern printers save documents as a multi-paged image (read: a PDF) in their memory before printing it onto paper. It's trivial to make the print dialog save a PDF file because you're telling it to give the file it just made back to the computer instead of giving it to the printer.
