Damn, so like 99% of workforce live more than 5 miles from their job place or even 10 miles) ?
And all of them also zorks in places with no bathroom where they could change shirt to not be sweaty (apparently, biking to jobs involve you going full speed all the times to end up super sweaty)
So, in 2018, one of the biggest economies, most technologically advanced country in the world still cannot use a 40 year old technology to authenticate a payment ?
I know it might not be 100% failproof, but still...
Even countries in eastern europe manage to do that...
Well, what's the business model of you spending all your time on say, Breath of the Wild : you're most probably not spending more money than the game, and maybe a few DLC. And if you put 200h or more on one game, you're not playing other games...
I understand captive games like mobile (though I really don't see why people pay there... Seriously, who pays to play candy crush ?)
But also, the gameplay changed. Before you could say : one more level then I stop. In more continuous games, like the afore mentionned BotW, you don't have any real milestones, and I find myself playing way more than I should...
It seems to me that it is the fate of every sitcom... After a few seasons, they take that nosedive...
People should plan 5 seasons max, and it would be perfect
yep, employers suck too. Had phone interview, drove to the place for in person interview. Then, no news. No answer to email or phone.
yet company kept my contact, they got back in touch with me a few years later. Contact was nicely ignored from my side this time.
There's no penalty, because Apple was not judged here. It's Ireland that was judged, by having anticompetitive tax rules w.r.t other european countries, and were asked to retrieved the tax they should have perceived if they had done things correctly.
Why would they bother paying more for talents when so many screwups like this one cost zero $$$ ?
Hiring talented workers (note than being an american programmer does not make you necessary a talented one) would either increase costs and price (which is bad for business) or reduce profits and money given to shareholders... again, why would they decide to pay more ?
It is not to help viewers, it is to help theaters. In their mind, if the movie is available to quickly after theater release, people will just wait for the digital release, and not pay an overpriced cinema ticket (easily 15€ per person when 3D)
They had the sale rules with VHS/DVD,etc albeit much shorter (I think 6 months, reduced now to 3, not sure)
The French love stupid rules like that... In the same way, you cannot broadcast movies on tv channels on friday and saturday nights, so that people would go out instead.
you're assuming that any kind of cashless transaction is always free, and will forever be.
As far as i know, it is not.
You need to pay for the equipment, then per transaction, or a percentage of the amount.
Especially, once cash is out, what would prevent those prices from increasing ?
But then, what is the issue ? That people cannot name anybody ? or that there is nobody to name ?
What woman in tech is on the scale of any of those 4 ?
Maybe you should simply get an old 14" CRT screen with 640x480 screen resolution and you'll get what you want.
Otherwise, I see no fundamental changes except the color of icons... and the hidding of the useless File Edit View... controls. (which appear by the simple press of Alt key)
Why would they bother, they can sell them overpriced phones that would require replacement sooner. Their business is to sell as much as they can... Especially now that they are all the hype, they don't need to compete. And since no one else is actually competing on that market of non disposable phones, or almost no one (you have things like the fairphone, but the firepower behind is not strong enough to provide on both sides of repairable and actually up to date to begin with)
Why would you want people to replace battery for 60$ when you can instead sell them a new phone for at least 500 ?
you're a lucky one. Last summer i was working on a large word file (I think from word 2013, can't remember) inside libreoffice 5.whateverwasthelastversionatthetime and it was a real pain in the a**
-opening the document and closing it directly prompted for saving and corrupted the file.
- after some times it finally crashed and could not open the last saves (after a few crashs with lost work, i took an habit of regularly saving to other files, even though the document was all messed up, at least edits and comments where still there)
A real struggle.
But to be fair, working with word was also a pain in general.
In my last job it was decided we were to collectively edit a multi-file report... massive fartjob !
And I'm not even talking about the final editing into one doc where everthing was messed up, references, citations, etc...
Yes, compatibility is so 100% thing that even different versions of MS Word open and present files in different ways, as well as using different implementation of that "standard" that are not compatible, but still use the same file extension.

Don 't worry, people in Europe thought of it. And they even use credit card with pin code security to authenticate the payment.

I came here for the obligatory BotW comment, and was disappointed not to find one

I happen to have an old DIR 620 Router of which I'm locked out ....

feel free to nominate all the games in your list, it's open !
Is that another flaw that's only patched through their windows updater ?
Why are they using an old Peugeot 406 ?

Yeah I thought : "didn't they already say that for 57 and Quantum ?"
Notice the sharp drop after 2008 ? Who 'eeds kid when prospects are bad ? No job, no money, no kid. Simple as that

Despite that, they still use a lot of Seagate drives anyway... So the higher failure rate is not deterring them from the brand
Do you imply the poster is actually getting out of his basement ?
