This is especially annoying when it hops onto a 1 bar xfinity WiFi that barely works at all, or one that I just passed by at 60 mph, instead of just using 4G. I could never get my S6 to stop connecting to them, even after doing "forget

The issue is that it is presented as if it is actual, current gameplay. I don't think anyone would have an issue if there was a giant watermark that said "CONCEPT" across ones that are no where near being represented in the f

In all honesty I don't know how anyone can make 60$ purchases on games without seeing what it looks like. I can't comprehend it at all. Preordering was never even a question for me even before all of the recent issues with it. I j

The flickering thing has always made me feel bad for my dog and dogs in general. My entire office room is monitors/TVs and I can only imagine what she sees, like a rave 24/7. But she will still sleep in here when she can go anywhe

Fortunately I don't work with any electronics. I never had the patience for dealing with PCBs or even breadboards.

Some of the Harbor Freight stuff is great. For wrenches and ratchets that get pushed to the limit though I'll exclusively use one of the more pricey brands just out of fear of slamming my knuckles after a tool snaps. Its one of my bigg

This is just SnapOn's attempt to get you to buy a 50$ 12" prybar. Also to stop you from sending your screwdrivers back on the truck every week. But who cares, they're replaced for free and delivered :)

Ask a random nine-year-old to create a Word document. If triviality is your concern, everyone is at some point required to learn Word. It is quite literally one of the first software anyone in the US is introduced to. You are absolutely gua

All of those things are collaborative. Project managers aren't going to learn how to edit those documents. Sales guys aren't going to start including their bits with markdown and the marketing team isn't going to fiddle with

I've seen anything and everything passed around in Excel. Project timelines, infrastructure descriptions/allocations, working on systems that allow users to deposit parts of their workflows via spreadsheets (financial related), so

My main use cases for MS Word is RFP responses, architecture descriptions, requirement definitions. Neither of those options would satisfy that an an inter-operable way with the rest of the relevant people. I guess if you're purely wri

Word and Excel are probably worth running Windows/Mac over Linux GUI alone if you have to spend any time in them, which I do in a non-Microsoft stack for business-related things. I'd imagine most people have to spend some non-negl

I have an Alfa Giulia and the knobs are amazing. It is always in reach of my hand since they are located right in front of the gear shifter and flipping through the menus became intuitive after a couple hours. No fingerprints is an added bo

I'd be curious if there is any correlation to people's daily routines being disrupted and then having any sympathy for the protester's cause. I mean, who is going to get stuck in the air for an extra hour, land, and say &quot

Although which Amazon product wasn't specified, the AWS console is a shining example of something that does micro frontends badly. To your point about respectable customers using the API, according to Amazon the majority of customers u

The AWS console is a jarring experience due to this and, in my opinion, not very well done. Every service has a different theme and it is generally ugly. From a business standpoint, I doubt many people are turning away from them just becaus

This seems to be on par with most other store cards, for example a card from Best Buy.

The answer is probably that it is a service that banks and everyone else who uses the scores has decided is worth paying for. If finance institutions wanted to do all the legwork or just decided the credit score was useless they would proba

Well he was half in my lane by the time I overtook him without telegraphing his intent. Truck drivers are some of the worst drivers on the road, at least in the US. Though fatigue is probably a large factor.

Happens often on interstates. Only a couple days ago my only option was to get ahead of a semi that was intent on merging into my lane. The other option would have been to brake and hope I can decelerate fast enough to get out of the way of

Is this outside of NA? I've never seen this feature in the US.

When you say speed limiter are you referring to cruise control? Or an actual speed limiter that won't let you go over X kph with your foot on the pedal? If the latter, it seems like a strange feature to have/want.

I struggle with this when everyone outside of tech asks me what I do. My answer always changes since I haven't narrowed down a way to describe "cloud engineering" to people. I've heard this saying before and every time I

Unless your goals are physical in nature(I want to be able to check the mail again or otherwise return to a level of mobility, become a body builder...etc) I see very little benefit. "I want to not die, and if I must, preferably at a l

I wonder if there would be any merit in replicating the experience on a fully remote team. Maybe something like everyone schedules Slack video calls once a day with a random team member. Or a quick Flask app to output a schedule for the day

That may be partially true, but there is a grounded sense of accountability in any case. I'm sure you can find issues and your occasional booger eater with any restaurant but, in my experience working in such places, typically those jo

I was never super into Java development. I started working in 2014 and was introduced to Weblogic, Jenkins, huge Maven POMs and all the rest, then went into Cloud consulting. When I sit down to do anything I get so wrapped up in all the stu

Except for literally causing financial harm to the elderly that they prey on. With email there has always been extra scrutiny, after all it is the tech literate who were and are most likely to use email. And by literate, I mean can turn on
