I have read and watched every piece of SW media I could get my hands on for the last 30 years. There were absolutely some trash books or plotlines but nothing is worse than the 3 sequels and the Book of Boba Fett. Also, Solo got a bad rap.

The Apple iOS method. See a great app or product on your platform. If they won’t sell it or want to much Apple just makes their own version and prohibits the original.

Did we forget Russia invaded and captured Crimea and then said they had no further desires to expand or wage more war against Ukraine? GTFO

The battlefield isn’t even being faught on the Ukrainian side using the most cutting edge of Western technology and you want to keep fighting? Holy shit.

I am the lead on a team of 5 and technically we have an on call rotation but it is rarely used. In the last 3 years I have been called after hours a total of 4 times and TBH it was usually due to an AWS outage which resulted in us saying well let’s see how long it takes for them to o restore services and then someone run a safety check to make sure shit is normal.

For that I make $120k, have unlimited PTO, and work from home.

It worked for The last of Us and Spiderman. Optimization through exclusivity allows the publishers to spend less time chasing down random bugs and rendering issues.

Came to say this. I enjoy hunting and outdoor activities so I have a multitude of gear. What I use depends on where I am going, who is going with me, and what activities we plan on doing. Such as:

1. 30ft Toy Hauler Camper

2. UTV and flatbed trailer

3. Truck bed Tent

4. Tents of various sizes and various types of climates

5. Sleeping bags for various climates

6. Hiking/Hunting clothes and shoes for various climates

7. Binos and Spotting scopes of various styles

8. Backpacks… So many backpacks

9. Rifles of various calibers for hunting different game and environments and various fishing poles

10. Lifejackets, paddle boards, and kayaks

I know 2 people who wrote COBOL code for some major healthcare systems a long time ago and they came out of retirement about 5 years ago to update/convert that code. They made six figure salaries working from home to update that code.

I use Windows for work and gaming, MacOS for app development (mostly because I can code for iOS and Android in one environment), and ChromeOS for my daily browsing.

I just enjoy how chrome always works when I need to just browse the internet or buy something online without issue.

When I worked as a IT Tech at a University years ago we had a lot of MacOS users who believed they could just pick it up and use it like their iPhone. It was absurd how well their marketing worked because those users either forced themselves to learn it or dropped it and went back to Windows.

I know a lot of iOS users who have iPads and iPhones but still have windows PCs because they don’t have to worry about compatibility issues.

I have lived in the desert my whole life. So I guess I’m an expert now. I can tell you that it’s hot as fuck and it can still kill me. No amount of planned “exposure” is going to prevent dehydration or heat exhaustion.

Yep. Went to Disneyland a year ago and the trip there was very affordable. The trip home was 3-4x higher since it was closing time.

Well Bears are fucking massive so if they slapped you without claws they still have the ability to break bones and cause other severe injury.

I wish Wild Arms had an official mobile port. Such a great series with no modern IP usage to take advantage of its cult status.

It does when your employees are also some of the end users.

I bet this has to do with complying with court orders. Can’t turn over something you don’t have.

Like I said. “Real” Confession Bear memes.

Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite

I think that’s actually closer to the mark than many realize. Awards are great when they are not directed at the company or it’s rep in a negative manner as they show positive engagement and help the company with sales marketing. When awards and upvote/downvote counters are used to highlight that the users are having a negative experience then it hurts the platform image. Similarly to how YouTube removed the downvote tracker because their marketing team realized it hurt their sales revenue with business partners.

I have 4 vehicles you know what all of them have in common regardless of the year? Apple Carplay/Android Auto and backup cameras.

If any manufacturer believes their shit maps and apps are better than Android or Apple they can fuck right off. I will hack or replace every system in my cars.
