Whoever designed this train wreck of a web page should be tarred, feathered, and publicly flogged on national television as a warning to anyone that might be tempted to make something similar.

This will come in very handy during CTF's. Thanks!

They won't show the one they actually released because it's all glue code they copy/pasted from stackoverflow.

I can't keep mine anywhere. I slides off my leg, my desk, the arm of my recliner, my center console, and my bed. I hate glass phones and I'm not 100% sure what possessed me to buy this one. I can't stand cases either, so I guess I'm stuck with it until it leaps to its death.

I used to hate open plan offices. I still do, but now a have a citable excuse.

I think the same thing every time I see a top 40 or whatever. Not only do I not know who any or them are, but when I try to listen to a few to see why it's so popular they all sound like the exact same (terrible) song. It's like looking at trending youtube videos, I have no idea who watches that shit.

I'm with you. I don't want a knockoff macbook, I want a modernized T420 thinkpad with a huge battery and a good keyboard.

I thought I was very reasonably priced considering the 19%(!) tax is included.

The point of that statement was not to say that they don't provide those services at all, the point was that providing those services aren't their "thing". There is not a paid tier of any google product that will stop them from spying on you. Any payment you make is just to subsidize their spying so they get your data at little or no cost to themselves. If you are paying for google services you are not only giving them your data, you are paying for the privilege.

Maybe someday everyone will realize that google isn't a company that provides services to users, it's a data theft company. They don't really care about bugs or frustrations because they aren't in the business of providing things to you. You are not their customer.

The vast majority of people have forgotten that they aren't an email, webapp, cloud storage, or online translation provider. They are an advertising company. They use their products to steal your information. They aren't meant to help the user, because the user is not their customer. I'm sure you will get a real human employee if you are interested in buying ads from them.

Contrary to popular belief there are many companies that provide software besides google. Use them if you want a provider that might care about your problems. "It's not exactly the same as google ____" is not a valid excuse for not giving it an honest try.

The heavy hand of Google strikes down another. Don't you know that you aren't allowed to say wrongthink words or think wrongthink thoughts? Please try again, but this time try a little harder to please the Google. Only CDC approved persons are allowed to allude to or speak of the single largest thing people happen to currently be talking about. Pick up that can.

I was led to believe growing a bonsai tree involved a lot more trimming. Maybe I'm a natural.

A remote desktop connection is not anything a million other programs don't provide, and doesn't replace any of the reasons I use a vpn.

It's been a complete disaster. Email and phone response times have quadrupled, if anyone bothers to answer at all. I think everybody is playing video games for a living now. Most conference calls involve someone's dog barking in the background. I'm extremely introverted though, so I couldn't be happier.

All these things are why I have a custom user.js. I know most people here are web devs that get a kick out of this stuff, but I personally don't want most of the things described here. Most of them just seem like anti-features and/or security holes.

The thing I've noticed about the younger generation is that they are better at consuming tech intuitively, but mostly have no idea what makes it work. They seem to be able to use technology almost instinctively, but if they have to troubleshoot or create anything they don't know where to start.

You have to design UI for 'digital natives' to be just as user friendly as you would for baby boomers that didn't see their first computer until after they were grown. Both of them would be equally lost if you plopped them down at a terminal with nothing but a blinking cursor. This is generalizing, of course, there are exceptions.

Anecdotally the only thing that separates a 9 year old and a 60 year old is that the 60 year old won't want to touch a computer because they are afraid they will break something and the 9 year old will mash away until they get where they want to go. Neither knows or cares how or why it works.

That's an interesting paragraph. I wonder why they didn't write an article about it?

"You didn't see anything, and here is a crappy vice article to prove it"

I am deeply creeped out by this, but I'm not sure why.

It will be interesting tko see who registers and who doesn't.

I'd like to petition 9to5google.com to not make me have to hit back 5 times to exit the page I just loaded on mobile.

Try to work on your hobbies after they are in bed. It's tempting to put on a tv program for them so you can work on your own stuff for a while, but they grow up so fast you will regret the time you didn't spend with them.

Check inside your shoes before you put them on.

Applesauce stops loose stools, apple juice causes it.

This is neat. As a data hoarder I thank/hate you for this.
