Wow that was a blast from the past. I remember hanging out on the K-Lite forums back in the day and when a new release was exciting.

On Ventura here, and it only does that if you click the app icon on the dock or use Alt-Tab to switch apps. If you just click a window it does not bring all of the other windows fr…

You really think Apple's success with the iPhone is because of them manufacturing them in China? That has nothing to do with it, as hardware pricing is not why Windows Phone failed…

What marketplaces do you use?

This is on par for Meta. Don't forget that Cheryl Sandberg was their Democratic Party liaison.

This reminds me of how as times changed, once illegal behaviors are now considered normal because "big tech" embraced it. Remember Kazaa, BonziBuddy, Gator (The OG adware), etc.? T…

I've just encountered this happening today, except instead of something complex like coding, it was editing a simple Word document. I gave it about 3 criteria to perform. Each time…

The music industry is 100% invested in streaming music services, so they don't care if Apple offered high-capacity iPhones cheaply. Rather, it's Apple who has intentionally been ke…

I've also read of exploits which found ways to burn out the Macbook LED light by somehow messing with the power being supplied to the webcam without damaging the camera. Thus after…

99% chance it will not stay alive for more than 1-2 years. Shazam is the only Apple acquisition I know of that still exists independently, and that's only because it promotes Apple…

I'm still waiting for tech to return to the decades of UI/UX design guidelines they all ditched during what I call The (Not-So) Great Flattening. Actionable items were indicated by…

I don't think so. Mac sales have only grown and the whole "you need a Mac for creative work" hasn't been a thing since the 00's. I think this is more about having the team put adva…

Thank you!! I pay for Office 365 to use desktop Word even though I'm a very basic user of it. I'm well aware that LibreOffice exists and serves most of my needs, and that Word Onli…

Part of the movie's point is that Mark wanted to be accepted and "cool" so badly, that he was willing to do whatever it took in his own way to achieve that. Even at the expense of …

What data is left behind even after GDPR deletion? For example, data that is merely disassociated with your account but will forever live in their system.

For software engineering, I have heard stories from all around about the PIP culture due to an 8-12% mandatory URA quota. This results in gaslighting and forced firings to engineer…

That's the point. It was a sarcastic response to point out how ridiculous it sounds.

Ok, so your company ended up raising salaries because you were underpaying. That certainly wouldn't be the case if you found out your salaries were ABOVE average. You'd keep it the…

Google Voice was also supposed to revolutionize how many parts of cell phone service were to be provided -- signing in to an account instead of SIM cards, multiple phone numbers on…

Apparently Google and finance firms are the ones that still ask dynamic programming. If any non-FAANG company is asking that, especially startups, I'd tell them to get off their hi…

Honestly, the value in most business software isn't the actual technology. It's the customer base and data held by the platforms. Someone could already easily clone HubSpot relativ…

Back in the day, piracy was seen as a symbol of free speech and censorship much like how abortion is still a symbol for women's rights today. The premise was that these services di…

The FOMO would only work if the content was exclusively available during that livestream, and not re-posted later. That being said, I think the last thing society needs is to make …

Apple's longstanding App Store guidelines always forced a certain level of "quality" and good customer experience, yet they're now allowing apps that are the exact opposite. Most o…
