The crease in the seat leather? I don't think any non-luxury brand would bother with that.

Some of those concerns look legit. Some of them seem like incredible nitpicking. I need to go try a Lexus or something so I can appreciate what a truly perfect car is like lol.

MS' support at their physical stores was fantastic. It's a shame they gave up on that. The phone support sucks if you have a hardware problem.

I think that's a pretty hardcore exaggeration. The last couple of times I talked to people from Apple (about getting a job there) they were pretty open about what they did and the tech they were using - and what they were looking for i

Last time I had comcast internet, they charged me a rental for a modem I never even received in the first place since I told them I had my own modem from day 1.

Yeah seriously. The company I work for doesn't allow corporate stuff on personal phones, but they do give them to everyone who asks for them. It's pretty nice, you get a choice of android or iOS phone and they just ship new ones o

I'm a little more open to taking a break from work to deal with household chores. On the other hand, I'm also a little more open to randomly taking a call outside of when I'd normally be in the office. Right now working from

You find a lot of these guys in the space industry.

I've been working most of the last 6 years at a rather small space company. After discussing work conditions with enough people who worked at other space companies, I'm pretty damn sure I'd never work in the space industry ag

There's also demand for the things that shouldn't need to be profitable, to be profitable. I saw a news article like a week ago making a HUGE STINK about how a bridge was "losing tons of money" when they looked at the br

Emphasizing diversity in your hiring doesn't necessarily mean lowering the bar. It may mean trying harder to find candidates. Of all the companies out there, Google can afford to be that picky. More importantly, they can look into why

A lot of malls I've been in have a "terms of conduct" sign near the entrance when you walk in. Similarly bizarre are the signs at the parking lot entrance that act similarly. I'll take that one further! Every street that

I think that depends on the person doing the interview. Like if I were interviewing someone, and discussing salary was part of my role, and they named an expectation 2x what we were planning to pay, I'd ask them why. Perhaps that'

Please show me where this is stated in the law. In California it's definitely illegal for an employer to ask you that information https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...

A lot of commercial properties are not owned by the companies residing in them, but property holdings firms that have owned them for decades. And/or business people who bought in the right place at the right time lol. The property tax

To be fair, my home printer is a Canon MX860. I bought mine around 2009 or 2010 and it has wifi, an LCD (albeit not touchscreen) and the only time I've experienced a jam, I was trying to print on sketchy paper anyway. The best part is,

I don't think it usually is. It's not like earrings are sold exclusively at jewellery stores. You can find them at drug stores, grocery stores, gas stations, random street vendors, and all sorts of other places. You can easily buy

I don't get it either. How did they suggest using an XML document to act as a priority queue? I actually would have found that highly amusing! My naive contribution: A linked list with pointers to the tails of various priorities. The g

I recently bought a couple of Alienware AW2521HFL monitors that are 8-bit IPS and do actually run at 240Hz. They don't even use FRC to achieve that 8-bit color! There's also the MSI MAG251RX which uses the same panel but adds FRC

I was able to get a c920x last week for $69, and while I am super happy with it, the video quality really sucks for 2020. Ah when the iSight came out, the best thing about it was the stereo microphone array inside of it. Well, that and it l

I'd rather pay a little more than have the driver risk their life and my life because waze told them they can make a left turn on a 45mph street across 4 lanes of traffic with nothing more than a stop sign and save half a minute.

Or they pull a walmart, where they have the brand name product for a lower price than everyone else. Then one day they introduce their house brand product at that price and raise the brand name product's price. Then the brand name&#x27

They did try to do something like that, where Netflix counted against your bandwidth cap but Comcast's own IPTV service did not. Maybe it was AT&T? I do recall it being a thing.
