Same. Cannot unsee it.

It would be possible to argue about all of them, as each has genuine use cases. Just not to the extend they were praised during the hype.

Most likely the mic is simply powered by the voltage which also powers the headphones.

But there’s also mics which don’t need voltage to work at all (unlikely for headsets tho).

The 90s ended 23 years ago. And to not just live through but also “care” about MsS doings in the 90s someone needs to be even older.

Its really not that far fetched that a lot of younger people may see MS in a more positive way than you do apparently.

Fair

Spoofing the agent only makes it look like Firefox is being used less, and websites will care even less about it.

Seriously who downvotes a bot.

Nobody’s getting hurt by a small grammar correction. People may even learn from it and be better off.

Factorio, Minecraft, and… Counter Strike. I exclusively play with a full squad of friends and even if we have a bad game, at least I’m spending time with my friends. Keeping contact with your friends is super important and getting harder every year. So it’s quality time.

Only because they produce them the cheapest and in the largest quantities (which goes hand in hand).

Basically any country can produce solar panels and wind turbines. Both technology and resource wise.

The most secure and privacy respecting chat app doesn’t develop and run itself.

CISO and developers in that field earn into the millions, and Signal is competing with the top dogs here (MANGA). There pay is ridiculously modest.

Yeah, and about that historical comparison… WhatsApp sold out for $21bn. Signals top earners collectively would have to work for 4200 years to get there.

Those guys deserve every cent of their paycheck, because probably any of them could easily earn multiple of that at another company… given their skills and knowledge in the field.

The biggest miracle is them not selling out.

Well, obviously someone did the math and figured out it’s better to have these titles than not. So I’d say you’re wrong.

If the title makes more people click in the first place and the amount of people who stay to read at least until they know they’re not interested, is bigger than the number of visitors if they had a normal title… the stupid title wins.

Unfortunately that’s not just gaming related news, but all news (and non-news).

It’s by design. It leaves you wondering (and ideally click on the article).

What I actually would like to know if journalists, or whoever writes the articles, are picking these headlines consciously or if they’re following guidelines. I can imagine both scenarios.

Oh, I had no idea. :/

Just wait until YT makes high res video options premium only. :)

Edit: I adblock, because fuck ads. But I also use yt less than ever before. I used to use it for entertainment, but nowadays I only use it when I specifically search for something.

Unfortunately, if anyone, I do.

We do that for some of the more complex business logic. We wrote libraries, which are used by our tests, and we wrote tests which test the library functions to ensure they provide correct results.

What always worries me is that WE came up with that. It wasn’t some higher up, or business unit, or anything. Only because we cared to do our job correctly. If we didn’t - nobody would. Nobody is watching the testers (in my experience).

Who tests the tests

I didn’t need a study for that. I mean we vaccinated ones are still pretty much alive, despite all the warnings of the dum-dums.

You don’t know anything about me or my work experience.

Throwing around insults is not helpful, but neither is “trust me bro”.
