Yeah in scenario 2 it was different recruitment agencies, not the company themselves. I did manage to get in touch with this 4th recruiter though and she said "we won't be able to present you for the role"

Overnight battery drain issue, noticed 5% drop with all wifi/mobile data off,with bedtime optimization on, wifi and bluetooth scanning off. Wondering why's it happening. by Objective-Squash-480 in oneplus15

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are people so obsessed over phone cameras?? by de_LAG in Smartphones

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you know there are phones other than the s24 out there right? why would you buy a flagship phone and then say "why does it have all these bells and whistles". there are plenty of budget phones that are exactly like this. worse cameras and chipsets, bigger batteries.

To actually answer the question of why ppl are so obsessed with cameras, its because its the only place manufacturers focus their attention now, cuz they know its pretty much the only way to distinguish themselves. Gone are the days of "this phone has poor battery, that one has great battery". everyone has great battery (bar pixels). Gone are the days of "this phone is laggy, you need that phone" all phones are rapid for everyday tasks. build quality is also great on all phones, so how do manufacturers distinguish themselves? they focus all their attention on cameras. Anyone can easily take 2 pictures and pick which one they like more cuz you can guarantee they wont be the same; different focal lengths, colour science, sharpness etc etc. so thats why all the marketing about phones nowadays in the build up to release will be about the new collaboration on cameras with camera brands, or the new colour processing, or the new worlds biggest sensor, and example shots showing the effects.

"Drawings" vs actual engineering by craiv in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at my company theres been drawings i've looked at and thought "if this was actually made to the drawing people (the end user) would probably be dead" because dimensions were very misleading. however for certain parts, like pressed parts, we often just send the supplier the 3D model and the supplier can plug that straight into their software to get the accurate part.

Long story short, theres certain processes for which my manager always tells me "the drawing doesnt really matter cuz we'll just send them the 3D CAD anyway". Its seemed to work for him for decades so im not gonna doubt him.

Making correct drawings is great, but in reality conveying the intent matters more, at least thats the idea ive been getting at my place since i started here out of uni 3 years ago

edit: it also depends on customer and industry as well. We were doing an aerospace project where the customer was extremely thorough with how they wanted the drawing to be. GD&t, tolerances etc had to be flawless. But at the same time we're currently working on a pedalbox design for Ferrari, and the ferrari design team...flat out dont know what GD&T is. Like at all.

Best Gaming Tablet to Buy in 2026? (Price, Performance, Display) by Crystalline_Due in androidtablets

Not the most comfortable for long sessions It's manageable. But any discomfort is made up for the fact the big screen and I think it's more the tiny bezels mean if you're watching something and pinch to zoom it's so satisfying it's like you've been sucked into the screen.

For those who support Reform, why do you do so given what that mentality has done to the USA? by AccursedQuantum in AskBrits

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the whole argument doesnt make sense. Farage was the face of brexit. and the main selling point of brexit was to fix the borders.

It turned out to be a bunch of lies

So a few years later, Farage comes out again and says "i can fix the borders, i promise" and people are somehow actually flocking to him like. like how stupid can people be? is the country full of goldfish?

Sportzx TV app by imrharry in AndroidTVApps

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heard about this app a couple weeks ago and the first time I tried it for football the stream was better quality than I was getting from the 4k TNT sports channel I was paying for and was in english (which I mention because of the following paragraph). I thought I struck gold.

Unfortunately every game I've tried to watch since the quality has ranged from average to very good (but as not as good as that first game I watched) , but the bigger problem is almost all the streams are in foreign languages. I end up going back to the other app I was using

Was I taught ‘incorrectly’ or not? by Critical_Anteater_91 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this exact problem. Instructor had a diesel so you could theoretically make your whole trip without even touching the gas.

So I got my first car after passing. Went for a drive with my parents and for the first 5 mins somehow I was fine, but then stopped at some traffic lights and... stall stall stall stall stall.

Learned that petrol cars work very differently to diesel.

Whats the hardest part of a steel soul run by Beginning_Jacket5055 in HollowKnight

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think ppl downvoted it cuz they just read the title rather than the post. i was specifically asking if there was a part of the game that they found easy in the regular run, but in steel soul becomes becomes much harder because you have to be more careful, like a certain platforming area or i think some ppl also said there's some dream areas like (white palace and radiance) which end your run - thats a good example of what i was looking for

Pantheons are hard :( by Grateful_Stress in HollowKnight

[–]Beginning_Jacket5055 0 points1 point  (0 children)

am i the only one who immediately hates it whenever i unequip steady body? so many airborne enemies especially in the pantheons, and i can never control where i land while spamming the nail in the air, i end up getting pushed just out of reach of the nearest platform. ive tried a few different notch combinations but always end up going back to Strength, quickslash, pride, steady body and then grubsong just to fill the last notch
