In all honesty, I think you're right. But I do feel something has happened. I definitely enjoy new blockbuster films a lot less then older ones. I still think fantastic films are made, but they are usually more independent films on sma

I think this is correct, but it's also what the article says between the lines. A problem with a lot of movies these days is that they got this great new toy, CGI, and then they don't when to stop. Whether the CGI is good or bad,

In an earlier role (tech support) they had a clause like that, and I pointed it out and said I wasn't happy with that. They asked me to still start the following Monday and promised to get back to me about the contract ASAP. They never

"It is marketed that Teams would consume 2x less memory as a result of the transition." Not sure if that's the article or the statement from Microsoft, but what does 2x less memory even mean? Half the memory? Quarter? If so,

That you're not tied to a single provider/client/platform... Also for some people it's just a nicer, more on point, communication platform. But for most people the barriers are greater than the benefits, so it's not

to be fair though, it can be a hassle to get something on wikipedia - writing a well thought out addition to a page, only to have it immediately reversed out can be disheartening. I remember making a small edit to the page of my kid's

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but these food delivery services does have a convenience factor in their favour: Unified UI (no more weirdly scanned PDF of their menu, or other nonsense), no having to explain over a bad phone

I remember London public transportation used to be shit and expensive. Disregarding his later downfall, Ken Levingstone did a tremendous job during his tenure as mayor, with Oyster card, introducing the congestion (which subsidises TfL) and

In the 90s, I disliked Microsoft with the passion and irrationality you can only really drum up with teenagers. (I continued to somewhat dislike them, even through the mild good guys years, and feel somewhat vindicated by where Windows 10&#

My kid loved this show (Not from the US, but a lot of them were available on Youtube, and... uhm torrents). It got a bit creepy when they went 3D to be honest. The episode with the green chip is a classic.

Without knowing your age and location, I'm going to suggest this is probably survivor bias, and I'm very glad you were able to stand up to it and not be affected, but I saw quite a lot of bullying when I went to school (80s and 90
