They are problems and also opportunities. But none of that changes the fact that they are still annoying problems.
Is kind of like you are trying to make a tasty burger, but the stove is designed poorly. In the end, you spent half the day fixing the stove, while you really wanted to finish making that burger.
You are right, that perspective is more single sided (not everything is like game software). But it probably isn't going to move toward your direction in the same way. (dev moving from x86 to UWP)
You see, app store takes a 30% off from the developers. (This IS Microsoft real goal) That's a lot. However, consider the promotion and ads you get from the app store (for the apps), it became a plus for the developers.
Windows on the other hand works differently as it is already matured. Small developers already made use of website and website ads to promotion their software. Large developers already had lots of customers. This caused the developers unlikely to want to change.
Think about it, all because of Microsoft you lose 20-30% off of profit. That's a lot to lose in profit that you shouldn't be losing. This is why UWP didn't grow as big as the other mobile platform. Why lose 20-30% on UWP when you can get 100% profit using traditional x86 program?
Their struggle will continue until one point they find the cost too high to be kept x86 program. In that case they could very much also move on to another platform. ONLY then will they move.
From the user perspective, everything remains exactly the same.
That's what you think and what the user thinks, until something breaks.
New features always meant new bugs to be fixed.
We have seen updates on different software including google chrome browsers breaking something.
For casual common users, it probably wouldn't matter because they don't think it matters. But for business it is either wait and lose business time until google fix it or avoid the time lost by not getting the update or using an alternative.
Also a change from 32-bit to 64 bit meant that a memory leak now can get up to 4GB+. This means when common users go to a badly design website, now it will eat up to 100% to 50% of their available RAM, slowing their computer significantly.
All google chrome installations are default to auto-update. Also to change it to not auto-update, you need to change regedit settings, entering commands and/or manually deleting stuff, which sounds very familiar to hmm Windows 10.
It is clearly not user friendly and focused upon users.
For any sane business aiming for stability, it's definitely not the best pick.
CS degree IS overrated. In fact, more than 60-95% of available degrees ARE overrated.
Tell us some things that you've learned from that degree that helped you in your job. If you can name at least one, you are lucky. Add that with the tuition cost, degree is overrated.
As a matter of fact, college education doesn't really prepare you for business world, because college education is academical skills learning not commercial skill learning.
Now compare to high school education. Tell us some things that you've learned from there. I'm sure you've learned at least some presentation skill, some communication skill and math from it. Most of which, you can use in the real world.
It is worth escalate all the way to legal? That's assuming that is your only choice. In reality, it's not that black and white. They had alternatives, they didn't use it and now they get poor publicity.
They could just process the documents and sent back to the lady that due to technical difficulties, there will be a delay in the process of the new card instead of straightly declining it. Not to mention in legal case, declining service without stating (the transparency rules) could bring out a lawsuit and may also involve age discrimination (different countries have different laws for this).
Just like the case with United forcefully removing passengers. They had other choices, they didn't use it.
After posting, I've already notice a number of AAA titles that would take tokens that is worth per year instead of per month. An example would be bioshock. Here the 'funding' just gotten harder to resolve.
Voting with money as an extension of our time (down to hours) is a not the best idea for games. This is because now games will be designed toward length rather than content.
Have you seen idle games like farmville or Clash of Clan? hardcore players probably don't even consider them fun or interactive, but under the money per time, those games will earn the most. Players leave their game on for the day in exchange for rewards.
Even MMO or FPS games will end up with farming or loading screen before you get to the action, just to get longer "gameplay" time.
One alternative is to change it to base on a monthly (or longer) token (per game hidden from players) where if the players open the developers game once within that month (or longer), it will use the player's token and the developers will get their funding. Hopefully encouraging the developers to create content that brings back player every months (or longer).
There are still loophole with this alternative like 'what is the funding', but hopefully this is a good starting point if the option to subscribe takes place.
well, this is hard to say, but I looked at your portfolio. You seems to be doing fine now, so perhaps you are still not satisfied? Heck, I believe someone else would have been satisfied being in your current position. As "most" art major graduates can barely get pass their minimum requirement to live. Forgot about retirement for them.
First thing first, you graduated with degree. Congratulation, except like most degrees the paper is mostly worthless, so don't count them in after your first few jobs. How to know the degree's worthlessness? Try to think of one thing that you can reuse that came from the degree. None? It is worthless. You on the other hand can be better than that piece of paper.
If you are still unsatisfied with your current incoming, then you need to upgrade your worth. That is making yourselves worthy in the eye of an employer or client.
Here's a tip for the approach to upgrade your worth. You work on arts a lot. If you have an afternoon free time to make something that you can sell, what will you make? Can you convince a costumer to buy it? If you have a hard time finding one or selling it, it means you that's the area you need to improve. Not to mention, you still have areas that can be improved.
Remember only you can alter your future. Only you can prove yourselves wrong. Do update your portfolio with everything you've improved over the years, and only leave items you feel still worthy of presenting you.
He is an engineer. But he didn't say he's a registered/ unregistered / official/ unofficial/ practicing / not practicing / civil / electrical / software / science / industrial / computer / oregon / out of state engineer.
Also, if "declaring yourself an engineer is a violation of the regulations in most states", engineer visitors are surely fined and kicked out when they have to answer "what are you working as?" at the boundary gate.
This is just another stupid case. Whoever has more money will win this.
5. Consumers have to return broken device or re-purchase cheap IoT until they felt it is no longer worth constantly replacing broken device. Lowering the demand for IoT device.
6. IoT developers have to constantly replace broken device until they either drop the IoT design, update security or face bankruptcy.
they may sell more IoT device in the short term, but overall they will fail to profit in the long term.

Up next, new app scam named "Goggle, Inc.". Another 1 million people clicked on it.
Now imagine going back in time where we still have square monitors .
That's going to hurt when K12 kids managed to get it to drop from the table.
...like putting them into office cubicle with papers and a calculator? I'm sure that kept them pretty far away from the iPads.

Right. Windows RT on Surface was on ARM processor, so it did have issue running traditional x86 programs.
The community however did an amazing job in creating some compatibility layer (emu? apps?) to Windows RT in order to run some traditional programs.
Windows 10 S would probably be easier to do that as it already has to be compatible to some x86 apps in the store.
You're using Google's software and especially google chrome. You shouldn't expect any.

Psychopaths post live on FB, making it easier to find them and remove from sane society.
In the long run, psychopaths are greatly reduced.
I suppose FB could use some employees to give us a warning to the live video content ahead, so common people don't get PTSD.
"you can almost do anything and be anything in life".
FTFY. Now it's not a lie. Also tell them to stop mowing down my lawn. Just because they can doesn't mean they should.
They've wasted $80 million on an inferior spacesuit. They should have spent more on spacesuit!
Now where's that pooping spacesuit we've all been waiting for?
It's not worth rushing it

If it compiles... ship it?
I'm sure the squirrels would notice the difference.

Good luck
Meanwhile, the millennials are still trying to find a job.
Retiring at X age? What is this fantasy?
if you are talking about the robots. Yeah, they'll be lonely.
but if you're talking about the humans, they'll be busy banging their VR pals.
Also, if "declaring yourself an engineer is a violation of the regulations in most states", engineer visitors are surely fined and kicked out when they have to answer "what are you working as?" at the boundary gate.
