The point is - they have different plans at different rates (prices) and they base it on what they believe you use it for. So you can’t just be dismissive of someone thinking that …

I'm afraid I don't understand this logic. Their own logic seems to be - the rent covers all utilities (they have assumed a certain cost for utility based on some logic that assumes…

How is Comcast a poor example? It is a major internet service provider in the Bay Area and in some places is the only one available. For better or for worse, you have to go with wh…

Some Internet providers have different rates for different capacities/bandwidth. Last time I used COMCAST, their wizard walked you through different use-cases and you got different…

The point I think the landlords are trying to make is that if you spend majority of your time at home, they assume (expect) the utilities to be higher. Keep in mind this is a 1 bed…

Context matters... According to the article, the lease (rental rate) includes fully paid utilities and internet. The landlords are then saying - if you're going to work from home f…

I think the 2 laptops you mentioned are targeting different markets. The Surface Laptop you linked to is - 16GB of RAM and 512GB of Storage (no 8GB of RAM option) The $599 Mac Neo …

I refused to use chatGPT until they created the public version that you could use without signing-up. I later started using Gemini but I use it without signing in to try to ensure …

I was in Enterprise software and even though I didn’t visit users, I dealt with them regularly eg through video calls or engaging with them via support forum if support escalates a…

1) This also happens to non-workspace (regular) gmail accounts 2) I didn't change the policy on the workspace email when I signed up for it The point is still - why ask me to authe…

It isn't just the backup codes. More than once, I was in a different country and tried logging into a workspace gmail account. Google flags it as a strange activity (fair enough) a…

….every ERP sales process includes an you can customize the edge cases… This isn’t what you think. First, large ERP vendors will repeat the mantra that you shouldn’t customize and …

I don’t agree with this. Yes, there are times when processes/procedures are truly unique to a firm but it usually isn’t and the firm can ‘standardize’ their process so that it fits…

People love to blame Oracle or SAP for every botched rollout without actually looking at who is responsible. If you used consultants for the implementation, how is a botched rollou…

> It’s hard to be a Product Manager without owning a product I'll say it depends on the size of the product. If you're dealing with say ERPs (Oracle Fusion Apps, WorkDay, SAP, etc)…

This mindset is also part of the reason why some products are atrociously bad. Developers build products with the latest tech, whizzes, bells and whistles and totally miss the 'act…
