Which customer support?

The problem with Google takeout is that if you haveany photos, let's say 300gb like myself, you end up having to manually download 50 or so files. This could be easily avoided if photos where synced to a pc like before, unsig Google drive.

Our minds and bodies are made for "real-reality" and not for "virtual-reality". That is one of the reasons why you cannot turn a webcam on a beach and say you are on holidays on the Caribe. Even if you heard all the sounds and try to relax, is not the same.

And why wouldn't be? He is offering a premium from the current valuation. You either accept it or reject it if you think the premium is low, or am I wrong?

I live in Berlin, but I am not from Germany, nor from Europe. I never understand the complains on the quality of trains (or the public transport in general) in Berlin at least. And I am from Buenos Aires, where we have great transport system (subway, buses, trains). Still, Berlins is much better.

Is that a Chrome for Mac feature? Never seen it before. Care to elavorate?

Agree with you. It is a matter of what software do you need.

That said, for my use case, I have never found a software that I need on Windows that is only available on Linux.

The opposite happens to me a lot.

I have to agree with you.

I consider myself a geek, a fairly advanced user of software and a software developer.

I have been trying different versions of Linux since the Mandrake Linux times, so about what, 20 years?

I always come back to Windows, which from Windows 2000 has been getting better and better. Of course there have been sh*t moments like Windows Vista and Windows 8, but Windows 2k, XP, 7, and now 10 (enterprise version), have always been good to me.

I can use Linux for sure, and I appreciate the effort the community does, however, for my use case, I don't see the advantage of using Linux over Windows, and I find many disadvantages: missing software (office, adobe, although I have run it under wine), missing or not perfect drivers (energy efficiency is a problem even on thinkpads).

Again, I really like the effort, and if I must use it, I can, but I don't see the advantage.

Now, I use it on my dad's computer (he is 80), as it is much difficult for him to screw up than Windows.

Interesting article. I personally think that some of the advantages are easily solvable, like the remote thing.

From my point of view, case sensitivity in filenames is not an advantage but a disadvantage.

Why would I want to have "presentation to management.ppt" and "Presentation to management.ppt"?

Same for some of the restrictions in file names. I never found any problem. Maybe it is because I write in english and spanish.

Impressive. But which one is your mother tongue?

that is firefox preview.

Works perfectly in windows. And I have not the best sight.

That is totally different. Of course you want to care first for your people. So if USA said, exporting of ventilators is forbidden, that is one thing. Another thing is intercepting a rightful order of a 3rd country and taking it as their own.

I can understand you working 100% and no more. And I can live with it if I was your manage.r But no loyalty, no team spirit? No way. For me it is a two way road. I give you flexibility to work remote some days, to arrive at 10 some days, to leave earlier others, but in exchange I expect that you some days will work more hours, arrive earlier or leave latter, and maybe work some weekends. It should be a balance.

I think that is a US thing. In Europe and South America at least we don't use much wood.

If you kill 100% of your hosts, to which other host will you go? 100% means all.

The problem seems to be more how crazy long some word in German are ;)

Before the Agile manifesto, before Scrum/XP/Lean became popular, I had my own way of delivering software which basically was: meet with users/stakeholders, talk about what they need, build a first version in 2 to 4 weeks, release, test, adjust, repeat. For me it makes so much sense agile that I don't get why some devs don't understand the beauty and simplicity of it.

If you want to know more about the why of the standup, and what is the idea behind it, read Borland's tell: https://www.scruminc.com/origins-daily-standup/

Still, they say "Our first priority is to help make this transition as easy as possible for you." and give two weeks?

I really don't get why companies use slack and pay 13 a month!!! when you can have gchat for free in your 12 a month. I mean, yes, gchat lacks some features, but for the most part it works.

If 90% of the people in the world die because they cannot pay this vaccine, do you think they can keep making money with only the 10%?

In South America we have a similar situation with Mercado Libre (ironically called Free Market in spanish). For example, they started charging 1.5% commission, and by the time they had no competition, they have raised it to 11% or more, which is crazy. They force you to ship things (I only want to sell in person because people then dispute things and keep the orders and the money), etc. But at this point it has gotten so big that it is almost impossible to not be there. You just hope that the next purchase will be not through they.

I don't get why promoting your product would be an anti-competitive behavior. Anti-competitive behavior would be not letting Edge users use google or gmail.

Exactly. Phoenix bios company made the complain. That said, I think Firefox is the better name.

Never had the problems you mention till Delphi 7.

I don't see your point. Skype was done in Delphi, and it was pretty much end-user and very successful. There are many other apps: Skype, Nero Burning Rom, WinRAR, Partition Magic, Panda Titanium Antivirus, TuneUp Utilities, Aida64, BeyondCompare, Total Commander, CloneDVD, Ultra ISO, KMplayer, Gold Wave, Sound editor. And I am sure there are many others.

It doesn't matter if it is easy. If you have to waste time because the language-of-the-week came, which multiplies for N number of devs, is still a huge waste of time.

Crazy thing is my home country bank website only works with IE. The incompetent f*cks have re-done the website 3 times in the last 4 or 5 years. They still require IE.

They key there is the down part.

How is that an irony?
