It's a debt though. Because people will forget it's there and then at some point someone changes a counter from milliseconds to microseconds and then the issue happens 1000 times sooner. It's never right to leave structural i

The main reason it hate Excel is that people abuse it as a database. Having whole stretches full of vlookups but some single rows overwritten with manual input data. It also chokes on sheets with only a few hundred thousand rows on my 16gb

5G has lower latency again than 4G. There's also more capacity making it possible to use it as a real connection than just backup.

I'm glad it has a physical SIM still. I always use regular prepaid phone plans for my 4/5G backup but the providers don't like these being used with modems. So they have more options to block them with eSIM.

Also I feel that when this bubble bursts, we'll have much bigger problems than some expensive ram. More like the big 2007 crisis.

Yes it's in combination with KDE that it doesn't work well yet. Simpler window managers are ok. But big desktop environments still have major issues with freebsd's wayland. KDE for sure and I believe Gnome also (I don't

Not a Linux user but Wayland on FreeBSD is not production-ready. So I don't have a choice yet.

Data centres have big halls, usually no windows whatsoever, and are wide and flat so windows are only possible at the edges. They're even worse for conversion than office buildings. Better to raze them and build apartment buildings.

I really hope they will find it this time and have some real answers for the families of the victims. They deserve it.

For a while, yes. But I'm sure they will want to sell it for longer than a year or so. Even Samsung is running into this issue now: their own internal foundry is refusing to give them a long term contract now so the S26 series will bec

I also hoped it would crash and burn. The real value added usecases will remain. The overhyped crap won't. But the shockwave will cause a huge recession and all those investors that put up trillions will not take their losses. Rich peo

They are merit based. Especially with DEI. It just aims to remove the common human bias to trust people more when they are more like us. With training and hiding names/photos during CV preselection. So it is only based on merit.

These accounts are not required! I use my Samsungs without a Google account. And I only use a Samsung account on some of them. It's harder to install apps but I use aurora store. Push messaging still works without a Google account.

They don't care about security at all. They once shipped a backdoor in their macOS app. It was noticed and called out and they refused to remove it. It took Apple blacklisting it for Zoom to finally take action.

The cybertruck is not approved in Europe. Some people manage to use individual loopholes to import them but Tesla doesn't sell them here.

Well really most people don't where I work. They don't make a big deal of it because the office would be overloaded. Except the people that are super socially oriented or want to escape the family at home (I don't have one an

I don't think you understand my point of view and also smokedetector1's with whom I wholeheartedly agree. Economics and money is just numbers. It's not a measure of happiness in life. I just want to have enough money to not w

Pay is relative because they have to live there too. Costs of living are much higher over there. Even just healthcare, here it's free (well, paid from taxes). In the US it's a big expense. Also they get much fewer holidays (I get

Soft quotas are not great but at my work (also a huge multinational but headquartered in Europe) we just use stats as a guide. Obviously if a country has 30% people of a certain ethnicity and in your employ it's 2% you're doing so

Not directly but they do create an open and fair working environment for all. Once you leave room for discrimination and bullying, everyone suffers because it makes company culture harder. And it's not just about "quotas". Th

Yeah those open floors are so terrible. When i started late 90s I had my own office when as an intern. Everyone just had a little office. You could close the door if you needed to focus and you could open it if you needed a chat. Then came

I notice US tech companies have also become really tough on white collar workers in order to suck up to Trump and his country goons. No more diversity programs, work life balance no longer promoted, that kinda stuff. This fits in with that

Yes!!! Before the pandemic we had an it floor that was quiet. Now we sit next to loudmouth sales goons barking into the phone all day. Ugh
