I suppose if the character made you a fortune, might as well lean in to it!

I read The Dilbert Principle last month (only about thirty years behind the curve, I know) and it slates purpose mission vision statements even then.

In retrospect, it looks like Adams’ edgy jokes and views didn’t age well.

That’s not the problematic metric though. It’s the 70-80% (link) install base of the Windows OS on desktop computers that Edge is installed with that’s the basis of the anti-competitive allegation.

The fact that it still only takes 5% of the browser usage is more of a happy accident.

This is how you get shot for the silliest of reasons.

Unless it’s the initial outreach team or on-premises staff, sales would be one of the few roles totally suited to remote working.

Some of the more creative or collaborative roles I can see the argument for hybrid working - even if it’s just one day a week or month in the office - but sales, customer service, or first line support seems to be the last area you’d impose a return to work mandate on.

That said, I haven’t got extortionate office rents to justify 😂

Peak science right here. Someone’s getting their doctorate off the back of this study.

I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?

Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?

Do a credit card next!

Same as the Unihertz Titan. I ran with that for two years and it was decent, if underpowered.

The dream is all but dead for all fourteen and a half of us QWERTY phone enthusiasts I think. A surprising number went to the Samsung Galaxy Flip models, though having used this for two years or so, I wouldn’t recommend it either.

Maybe one day…

Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?

It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!

Roger Freedman, absolute lad

I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?

I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.

I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.

I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.

I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.

I’ve got one and it’s cool… but that’s about it.

It’s starting to chug now with modern apps (or legacy apps with new updates), the touchscreen is becoming increasingly unresponsive, that battery health is starting to go off a cliff… but all those factors can be levelled at any two or three year old phone.

The hinge is the problem. My understanding is that Samsung has made a better design for the SGF 5 and 6, but i’m already on my second phone after the hinge caused the phone screen to bleed out from the centre, and I’m getting the crackle of doom from the hinge starting to sound already.

If you’re desperate for a flip phone, then I’d advise you stay clear of the SGF3 and consider the Oppo Find N2 or the Nubia Flip.

Very similar I should imagine, to the person who leaves a workplace/team/event/class, but stays in the group chat. Very weird.

To take it to a logical extreme, it frustrates me when a post that considers both (or more) views and is a well thought out post, is met with a single world reply - as if it’s some sort of “gotcha” or the fact that a single ambiguity in a largely solid argument somehow usurps the entire point.

I tend to think they’re either young or generally underexposed to how human interaction works.

The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.

I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?

A good point, but if privacy is their key concern then I would imagine it would have to be a two step approach - rip out the SIM and radio, but also have a couple of plan B’s such as phones with location tracking (the irony isn’t lost on me), land-based EPIRB’s, or satphones or whatever’s needed.

That, or invest in some drop-croc martial arts!
