Yes, but proprietary methods encourage fragmentation. Id rather they build on a universal standard that gets updated once in a while. If apple were to open up iMessage, I’d be on board. But not holding my breath waiting for that to happen.
I bet their version of RCS is also minimal. Just so they can complain about how broken RCS is. Thanks to their shenanigans, third party messaging apps thrive outside of the standards and market fragmentation is real. Getting to be a damn pain having to check which apps a person has before being able to communicate with them.
Would be hilarious, in light of sonys recent decisions, if it required a Live account to play.
The graphics in WC blew me away. The sound in wc2 (rise thrakath) did the same. Wc3 movie production values. Privateer open galaxy navigation. Chris Roberts was on a roll!
The ushering of the $1 price point did it. Most apps aren’t worth even that, so the developers struggle to make ends meet, resorting to subs and ads to make it work. Even the ‘legitimate’ app developers suffer because a $60 app looks ridiculous in a sea of $1s, so they have to swallow the pill and undercharge, hoping the volume would make up for it. It’s sad, and given that most successful apps aren’t the first from a developer, and well, you get the picture.
Oh. The ‘idea’ guys and the app store get their cut, regardless.
I think it’s well known that they use state of the art algorithms, hands on guidance by human qualifiers, and fifth generation AIs to isolate, statistically rank and identify particularly obnoxious passengers to compile in a list of candidates for people to seat next to me.
If people say ‘i have excel competence’, the difference could be between ‘i can resize fonts and do tables for my company forms because I don’t know how to do them in word’ to ‘fully modelling a business plan for a Telco, including it’s subsidiary units’. Make sure you test for the level of competence you’re after.
Learn a new formula every now and then, or at very least learn to read other people’s formulas, then google what you don’t know. Literacy in any field is the result of a long process of learning.
(Reread your question) Outside of IT: if an appliance stops working, it’s sometimes just a fuse that needs replacing. It’s cheap and easy to do.
Not a dishwasher, but may be related. I air dry my clothes indoors, sometimes overnight, and used to get that damp rag smell on my clothes as a result. Solution: toss in a tbs of baking soda - no more smell.
Oh, and I can’t pay you up front, but you may use me as a reference for any future opportunities you may have.
I never said you did. I just said I’d keep my Firefox as an expression of my choice. Gun to my head? Really? You seem awfully sensitive at all of the comments here. Is everything ok? Just keep your chrome and uninstall Firefox if it doesn’t work for you. Jeebus! Chill man.
Firefox is like the faithful buddy who, while not perfect, does his best to get things done for you, unlike the popular kids or the TikTok cogniscenti, who expect you to play ball or get dropped like a hot brick.
I’ll keep mine, thanks.
Heh. I use Firefox with DDG as my search engine exclusively now. No ads for me.

Uh… they sometimes kill players when they mess up in crucial games (soccer - colombia national team), and stab other players who threaten their favourite (tennis - Monica seles fan).
Edit: it was a Steffi graf fan who stabbed Monica seles.
Because lawyers, accountants and MBAs making policy for things they don’t understand.
Only if he promises to bequeath half of his fortune if you pay a small fee to help him set up a local bank account in your country to move his monies out because he hates Biden.
It’s like the green/ blue bubbles thing. Anyone who overemphasizes superficial things like that aren’t worth your time. What matters in a professional environment is the value behind the communique. If the real bill gates messages you from a Hotmail account, you’ld probably want to pay attention.
Spaghetti storage. What you described I’d do with an old tennis ball can. Glass jars have uses.
Huh. My one+ lets me hide apps and lock the hidden drawer behind a code from 2020.
