Care to explain it for the sake of discussion?

I interpreted the meaning to be something along the lines of “remote workers can feel like they have less control of big decisions if an organization also has office workers”. In my experience, it’s an illusion (or delusion).

In this case it’s likely the ratio of units sold rather than “millions” that expresses GP’s point. You have a point that Samsung is the only company really competing in this space though. See https://www.forbes.com/sites&#x2

It’s still a good time to sit around and play with computers. Just don’t give your kids tablets and stick with desktops/laptops.

I provided VLC as an example in order to head off any responses around what built-in apps do or do not support (rather than to imply that you need VLC). Not sure where you inferred that I was using Android, but apologies if what I said led

You’re talking about _being shown_ photos you don’t care about, while GP is talking about showing your own photos to someone. I agree with the example you’re discussing, though.

Do you get the impression that novel shows are pushed out by the more corporate ones?

It certainly seems to be the trend currently. There’s money and brands to be made convincing people to stop distracting themselves with all the trends you made money and brands convincing them to do.
