Indeed, people working in services in Japan people are paid significantly better than in the US/UK so tips aren't required. Also the culture is totally different and I prefer it that way too. But using Japan as an example for th

@junaru have you worked in the service industry? Are you suggesting that people who work in areas where tips are common should just be paid more by their employers? 100% Agree that people should just be paid more. But it's not that s

For better or worse - excel is how most businesses and especially finance still run. It’s very ingrained and unlikely to change any time soon.

Disagree. SpinRite is for a hard drive that still runs but the computer does not recognise. i.e. it's a great diagnostic tool! If the drive doesn't power-up or "clicks" (because the reader broken) then yes, of course ta
