I had an issue with my Samsung smart phone at one point. However, I couldn't part with the phone for x number of weeks, to send it in, for an assessment.
After that, I realized ease of support on iPhone was the biggest differentiator between Apple and other brands
Why can't you have image inline with text? I hate to waste energy to refer to attached images in my text ("regarding the 2nd image")
WTH? Why not?
It's a really refreshing feeling to know, that channel of communication is not available for anyone in my company.
it's like a veil has been lifted off my eyes
In Windows 10 + 11, that prompt does not exist, if you are signed in with the admin account.
It's just a pretty skin on top of the same Windows NT Window chrome. The modern UI skin is baked in with a bunch of none-sensical UX decisions.
I also hate how Windows' happy-path setup, does not encourage use to create and operate with a low privileged local account. Instead, if you click through the setup process, you end up running the OS w/ an admin level account.
It was image compression. You "reduce" the file size of the images by using an algorithmic approach to reduce the color palette, while achieving as much as the OG image quality as possible.
I recall dithering being heavily used in the days of very finite color palettes - BMP, GIF16 etc..
I hate pinterest with a passion. I may need to get a "his" laptop separate from my wife, since she needs that darn pinterest extension for pinning photos.
A cost of living (COL) variable in your compensation keeps things rational.
Plus people are missing the fact that the original compensation of X was established in the context of some geographical region. So people complain if their COL adjustment decreases their pay but all good if COL increases their pay?
You gotta have it working in both ways.
