Good news! There is a phone for you. Android allows that. Why not allow others who want their device partially controlled by the vendor to have that option? I agree with the GP and…

> I, like half of us, took a ton of Spanish in high school, enough to generally stick even without continuing to build it afterwards. Can confirm. My wife and I both took 4+ years …

> At this point iPhone isn't a product. What? This is a weird statement. iPhone is 100% a product. There are many alternatives. > Imagine if Tesla charged Starbucks money to drive …

I'd be interested in reading more about this. I'm curious if that correlation is due to people with lower bodyfat being more likely to exercise regularly which, in turn, would incr…

Some of the QA staff we had made barely more than min wage. It was really depressing talking to dudes that had been there for years being happy they were getting a raise to $17/hr.…

While they may make above average in the overall assessment of income for a country, they make well below average for the type of work they are doing. Many game companies know they…

This is yet another instance where piracy provides the better product. Installing uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock makes Youtube a much better product than simply paying for premium.…

Very well, but people don't seem to want to apply to jobs in Healthtech. I say this as my company has many active openings that we just don't get many applications for.

My perspective is that if it doesn't serve ads it likely doesn't have a future at Google. I would be interested in playing around with this tech, but I wouldn't integrate it into m…

This is what we do also. I have many streaming subscriptions. If a show is not available or is only available with ads (Prime Video does this a lot), then I feel zero remorse torre…

That reasoning aside, there are an infinite number of ways to solve this that would be less "weird" to look at than simply nothing. Even a simple colored half sphere would be bette…

I'm in the same situation. I have a 2012 MBP but I use my desktop daily and most of it's components are from 2012-14ish, other than a 2080 video card that replaced a dead video car…

This is yet another reason to be apprehensive about Occulus and the "Facebook metaverse". I think it is only a matter of time before the mission for Occulus and the "Facebook metav…

> recently we found that a major podcast network was autoplaying podcasts in order to juice their numbers This is a tactic that some video game streamers use as well. One big examp…

Yes, you can. Easily! The point I was making about Spotify is that even if I solely listen to music as full albums, I only get recommendations for playlists. I rarely want to liste…

I really miss Google Play Music. For my needs, it was the perfect streaming service. Youtube Music is a huge step back. Spotify is far too playlist and recommendation happy, I want…

That post or user did not get shadowbanned. I can see that comment just above this one. Yes, it has been flagged and downvoted, but you are not shadowbanned.

This type of decision has fully cemented that Google is an advertising company. Every decision they make is to benefit advertisers regardless of how it affects users and developers…

This is what I see for a vast majority of Diablo3 players. We are all forced to play online, but nearly everyone plays alone most of the time from what I've seen.

I'm sorry, but my feelings are more important than your feelings, so your free speech matters less than mine. I see this type of attitude often and it is very frustrating, not beca…

Thank you for both of your responses. This one made me laugh, which was needed this morning.

Sorry, this is completely off topic. Why aren't you using capital letters? I've seen this trend starting to gain more traction and it makes no sense to me.

It should have been "netflix for games". If it were, it would have been hugely successful. As it was released, I had zero interest in Stadia for all the reasons mentioned elsewhere…

I don't mean to be rude, but your list of questions is a perfect example of why this type of test would be meaningless. * What is a data base - Are you asking what type of military…

As a dev that uses Unity on a daily basis, here is my perspective. If this was simply a matter of "Unity wants to do ads better" and they purchased an adtech company, I doubt there…
