I've seen so many YouTuber's doing this too. They'll make a 30 minute video showing a few low comment reddit threads and some upset tweets.

I had to suffer with many dinosaurs in a University I worked at, and they did in fact do pretty much everything you mentioned. Was a pain in the ass to upgrade/improve sites while trying to make sure these sites could operate without J

Yeah, I have to agree with this strongly. I worked at a University before and it was only the super old employees still using plain text email clients, everyone else was using Outlook. Most of the reason for not switching was simply due to

Honestly, I had no idea JavaScript was even a trademarked name. I've always just assumed it's the name of a programming language and had no idea it had anything to do with Oracle. I guess I don't feel bad not knowing this tho

That's neat, thanks for sharing! We had the ability to accept a what3word location however it was a really convoluted process to actually attempt to use it. Unfortunately I never personally had anyone use it to give a location, even t

I have the same dilemma, but it has even more factors to consider such as different staff entrances and parking lots. For example, at my work I enter on a different side of the building with my vehicle as a staff. When on foot there is also

It's funny because sometimes Teams uses more resources than the Edge browser. Despite Teams being Edge based for their application. I think overall many companies have gotten lazy/sloppy when it comes to optimization. Game dev is

From my understanding, don't many places like big retail stores or malls already use facial recognition with their security systems? Whether it be to deal with flagging banned individuals who come on premises, or for things like tracki

Where I live many places even use scanners to scan the barcodes on the back of ID. They claim this is to do things like banning people from the establishment and to try and prevent issues with fakes. However I really don't believe this

Thanks for that perspective. I wish there was more of a focus on people trying to improve their own countries versus running to another country, but I can understand why people would choose that option. The problem I've been seeing in

It's possible they are doing such a thing, however I also am sure there are many legitimate users in the comments. I personally have been using them on the free tier for over 10 years. I signed up soon after Microsoft was stopping allo

I've seen this kind of stuff used in some activist style groups as well before. Someone may be trying to push some kind of agenda. While in an argument with someone they link to a Wikipedia article. That Wikipedia articles source ends

If it's under 7 days it's probably because the airline is just less sketchy and it's super easy for them to get the money for you. The ones that take longer are probably the ones that are a bigger pain in the butt.

What do you mean lots of work? They replied to a few customer service responses and then sent an email with some proof to the relevant authority and got paid. That's a good amount of money back for a fairly small amount of work. Honest
