You're thinking just of the amount of data sent, not the amount of work that's done on the back end. Just because it's only showing you the most recent 40 messages or something doesn't mean it isn't doing a signifi

A list of emails. That's essentialls a database query that is taking X items and sorting by the date field, most commonly, except that the average user can have thousands, or even tens or hundreds of thousands of items that are unique

Mail is good for a SPA because the main central view which shows the different items (emails) to view or take an action on is based on a resource intensive back-end request, so keeping that state present and not having to refresh it on many

It begs the question "Why", but I think there's already a few very plausible possibilities (more plausible than RF-EMF in my opinion). In my mind, increased calls are linked with increased cases of emergencies (because much c

Eh, no. That's a reach. A company policy would be something that the whole company is expected to follow. If only the teams that coordinated on it follow it, that's not a policy in any way, it's just a choice that a portion

Is it a company wide policy that Microsoft apps open links in edge, or a Teams and Edge thing? Do office apps open links in edge? Does VS code? If they do, then I agree with you. If they don't, then I don't, for what should be obv

That's sort of like condemning all of the U.S. because one state does something you don't agree with. In a large organization different departments may do different things and have different incentives, and until they overstep to

I think you're missing the point, which is that to make such a change in a day would be chaotic and problematic. I'm not saying Microsoft and Google need to stay, I'm saying that it's not something that could change over

That's a combined 400,000 employees out off a job in one day. I wouldn't wish that hardship on those people all of a sudden, and that's before we consider the wider ramifications to the economy from those people being unemplo

I don't. In a fight we all as end users lose. Competition is beneficial to the end user, fighting, where they sabotage each other or bar each other or their own apps from platforms is not. Did end users benefit when YouTube was blocked

Or set up local DNS and search domains, or even just add entries to your hosts file. `ssh fw` is easy, as is `ssh server`, which while more characters are more in the central typing plane.

While I agree paying out based on time spent may incentivize games into poor behavior, I think there are ways to account for that (e.g. weeks of the month the game was played more than an hour or two total). Greatly reducing the up-front in

I'm confused why you think they aren't tracking what games are played for how long, and won't optimize based on that. I would assume there's some royalty type situation with gamepass where the games that get played more

Many safes allow for securing to the floor, making porting it away require a bit more effort, possibly including power tools which are quite loud. Also they're quite heavy usually. I remember as a child someone broke into our house wh

That sounds like an industry where a few large players have gobbled up everyone else and entrenched themselves, and they're all relatively happy with their market share (i.e. they aren't competing), and are thus happy to help &quo

It would be kind of cool is for April fools day he found "redstone" and each successive year on that day he built on that to eventually make a CPU. It would take some clever (practical) special effects to do well though.

That depends quite a bit on the area and on what is being remodeled and the current state of the market. Near me, $10k-$20k of landscaping can go a long way in affecting the listing and eventual sale price.
