Yep, smartphone cameras are optically terrible, which is then compensated for with clever tricks. These tricks optimize for popular use cases: people, food, etc. One aspect that is little discussed is the inflated quality perception of such

It doesn't work that way as employment terms are based on industry norms and expectations. That makes the relation asymmetrical and your personal leverage is about zero. Three years ago, if you'd skip over any employer not offerin

The layoffs make sense now, at this rate Microsoft only makes a yearly profit enough to buy a tiny country.

Exact same experience here. I even let episodes roll past the credits to the absolute end. And it still doesn't work.

Not even episode syncing works (for me). I clearly finished watching an episode yet regularly on another device the next episode would be the one I already watched. Just one of many basic things that doesn't work. I forgot to add that

Yes, that is a core truth, but doesn't excuse the current behavior. There's a lot of middle ground between "employment for life" and "you're a disposable object". For sure you can treat employees as dispos

In the tech sector, "taking responsibility" means admitting your decisions led to the situation yet you'll externalize the consequences to employees. In other words, it means nothing. Taking actual responsibility could includ

No, I'm not an incel, as that it was you seem to imply. I'm happily in a relationship for 15 years. I'm not on board with characters like Tate and Jordanson, they opportunistically exploit a symptom: a total lack of care or i

The female part of the patriarchy (a word I hate) is not to be underestimated. The idea that men should be more in touch with their emotions is nothing but a narrative, reality is exactly opposite to it. Women do not select for emotional me

"As a man, I have lots of people in my life who love me, but they consistently fail to take notice of my emotional needs." Although every man's circles are different, your experience is highly common. I'm going to intent

I agree, I can't see it end well for Russia. Still, we should not forget that even a failed state or defeated country is something to deal with.

I'm sure that beyond data Google also has a future use for Stadia tech elsewhere, secured a zillion new patents, and so on. That's the thing with Google. They can get away with anything and keep failing upwards.
