Way I see it, is that 'just doing the minimum' is utterly soul-destroying. And if you're doing that, then just you need to focus on everything else to stay sane. Work is never going to feel better. However, if you can find at

My guess is that it's to prevent cross-contamination. i.e. wearing a mask will protect a user, but the outside of it isn't sterile. So if you come off a covid ward, easier to just bin the mask and take a new one, than wash the out

Exactly - wish I'd plucked that word. Team-building is the only legal form of hazing allowed by companies. Now that's not to say all Team-building is hazing - but...

I guess it depends what's being said. To take the "Delusional Roadmap" example above, the only thing that is every going to resolve this, is the quiet gossipy whispers. e.g. Possible answers 1) No it's not - you're

You need better co-workers. Your friends and family will listen and politely nod along to your complaints, but only a co-worker will truly appreciate your wrath, deeply sympathize, and then one-up you with some scandalous piece of gossip th

I agree. I think the ideal would be that it just happens organically - your employees get along, groups want to spend time together outside of their employment, you reap the benefit when they're working in it. It's invaluable to k

I always felt that most "enforced-fun-games" were excellent at team building. Being "asked to cross an imaginary river" etc is a great way to unite the humble employees in their universal loathing of their woefully mis-g

Handing out dividends like clockwork. Makes me think of Boeing.. Big engineering company taken over by the accountants. (Now I don't mean that as a slight to accountants - just you need balance).

The extreme sides actually join together around the back. Just the reasoning that tends to get a bit muddy - for race/country/flag/god/people. I think the line tends to be when somebody starts mentioning 'the enemy&

Just to follow on from that - I think the thing that irritates is 'cheapness' rather than lack of overt generosity. To give a couple of examples. The office was kitted out with poor monitors - cheapest Dell sold. Some people bough

I'd always looked at it as there being '2 strands' within the company. There's the main one, where you "make the money" - this (obviously) has to be profitable at all costs. Then there's the other than int

I like that - but there are other options randomly thinks of something When you file your patent, you add blind optional licensing terms to it. For $x your company can use this. Or for $y you can license each device that uses it. For $z y

That might be your opinion, but I think you'd be excused sitting on the jury for sharing it.

But that isn't the argument, so put your straw-man away. Nobody is saying anybody should be banned/blocked for who they are - just for what they say. e.g. Similar to the "gay cake" case ( https://www.bbc.co.uk&

Indeed. If you look at the storage requirements of an app, you can see it's split between "App Size" and "User Data" (along with a cache). AFAIK there's no way to actually backup/move the user data without

It is on my pixel (so worth a try on whatever's shipping with Android One). I thought it was a bit 'hit or miss' at first - if you hold the camera over the code, after a bit it decides to pop up a link over the QR in preview.

Yes - it's very easy to do a factory reset on your phone. No - There is no 'easy' way to store/restore the entire phone as I believe Apple does. (I had a miserable day doing this, when my old Pixel started playing up an

Logitech Brio is probably the most "state of the art" webcam you can find (and it's a few years old). Decent quality 4k (or 1080 at buttery FPS) with all manner of gubbins to correct lighting - amount, flicker, hue etc Oh, an

www.kurokesu.com is quite interesting. Sells sensors or kits to convert existing Logitech cameras, and filters/lenses you can add to them. It's niche - but sits between an off the shelf webcam, and lashing a 'proper' cam

I'd agree. I recently picked up a Logitech Brio (employer was paying) and quite happy with it. Main advantage to me is that it can produce a decent picture without me having to faff around with lighting. Of course if I did sort out li

But the flip-side is we're all used to receiving automatic and continuous bug-fixes and even enhancements. Even the maligned Day-0 mega-patch, is fine if it lets the game master ship earlier and fixes the bugs before I can play it.
