That's crazy! My uni had senior design projects, and labs. Shoot, my community college had those, too. Most of our classes had lab projects, and sometimes the lab projects were group projects. We were encouraged to help each other out.

It's really not just two companies trying to pull this bullshit. Microsoft and Samsung also try to do the "ecosystem" bullshit. If you try to use a streaming music service other than Spotify, you'll eventually notice alm

Not to mention it integrates with Azure365, which damn near certainly the IT department has already standardized on, feels comfortable with, and has been flooded with enough propaganda to believe anything else is massively less secure. Plus

Kinda. In 2006 they launched "Google Apps for your domain." The name quickly changed to "Google Apps" and then in 2016 it became "GSuite." In 2020 they changed the name to Google Workspace. And of course, in 20

The fact is a bunch of web devs are lazy fucks that want to see Firefox die because they are lazy and refuse to develop for anything but chrome. :S

Samsung phones (and I guess iphones too) already do this lmao. https://www.insider.com/samsung-phones-default-beauty-mode-c... My favorite one is the phones that put a fake picture of a moon in pictures where the moon is de

I used to keep a powershot digital elph in my pocket whenever I left the house. TBH I took way more pictures with it. I could blindly turn it on and snap a picture while driving, without ever taking my eyes off the road. There's no way

It also felt so much different to use a computer. Like, even my computers in 1996-97-98 felt like a different sort of beast. The software was very self-contained, and even as late as 2000 you could use a computer exclusively offline and nev

I've heard all of the above, often "stroking". I never used those because I like systems where you have a random challenge code to respond to. Then the software has to not be acting as wonky to react correctly.

The problem with this is that you need to make those updates something people want to buy. And at some point, you have a game of diminishing returns. Even the hardware is starting to feel that way. Yet, security updates aren't "fr

I had a similar crash about 5 years ago when someone in a pickup abruptly made a u-turn in front of me. Said they didn't see me lol. Based on how the crash felt, I was stunned when I saw how fucked up the front of my car was. Well, tha

I'll argue the fucking garage opener shouldn't even be connected to the internet. It, like every other "smart home" device should be connected to a zigbee/z-wave/thread gateway that can be replaced when it gets

Someone else said they put a sign requesting not to ring the doorbell. No, that doesn't work. My solution was to adhere a plastic cover to my doorbell so people can no longer press the button. Problem solved - mostly.. doesn't sto

The other reason to not want to sign away your likeness to a studio: You won't have a say WHAT that new footage is. Imagine seeing yourself end up in AI porn.

Somehow every other car dealer in the world already has a solution to this problem and it doesn't involve the manufacturer having basically unrestricted root access to my car lmao.

Yea, ya know... if your reason for avoiding remote work is because you're afraid a paper trail will expose your company breaking the law.... your company.... has some big problems lol.

I also have a Panasonic Microwave, in my case I went with the 2.2 cubic feet NN-SE982S. It replaced an older 2.2 that died after about 6 years of heavy usage lol. I LOVE those machines. The inverter is great because it doesn't make the

Ah, Californian checking in here. In both CA and NV (states I'm familiar with), tipped employees always get the full minimum wage on their check (none of that 'credit' nonsense). You're still expected to tip.. but you&#x

It all depends on how they manage them. You can and should just make a youremail@company.com icloud account. I'm actually surprised that's not the norm so they can take over stuff like activation lock. I don't use a personal

I don't work for Apple or (honestly) know anyone that does, but from at least one news article, I get the impression Apple openly encourages (and maybe even requires) it. https://www.theverge.com/22648265/apple-emp

You sound like the people who explain that they're good drivers while using instagram on a phone because they have a lot of experience driving cars and using phones.

Yea that doesn't surprise me. This is how they have that unbeatable marketshare lead over practically anything else when it comes to gaming. They'd probably drag bill gates out of bed at 3am if it was important enough.

To me that sounds like the argument from a business department in an engineering org. The solution is for your department to hire its own software developer(s). I'd say the same thing for an organization that is heavily business-orient
