As someone who worked in a large OEM company releasing tons of smartphones, I'm actually impressed it only took 100 people to getting this out. I presume there was an incredible amount of sleepless nights, as this is no easy task. To b

I've pushed OTA updates to smartphones before: there is a rigorous certification process that the software has to go through before reaching the customers. We've had times where we had to push emergency OTAs soon after, but never

You can easily keep your transactions private on Venmo. I think the benefits outweigh the negativity mentioned in the article - it has made our lives more efficient. However, their scam protection ( https://www.theverge.com/2

Not trying to brag, but due to my background I ended up trilingual (Korean, Spanish and English). It all depends on circumstance - I spent a few years growing up in Korea, Latin America and the U.S - and went to school in all three countrie

(Disclaimer: I worked at an Android OEM company). Someone at LG or Qualcomm can definitely fix this easily and it takes about 30 seconds to do so. All it takes is to do a "chip erase" which will clear the QSEE sector and allow a c

A friend of mine quit this company after working there for 3 months. As a PM, she mentioned that it was impossible for her to do any meaningful work. Mind you, this was back in 2014, when they were doing fairly well. She even removed traces
