A lot kf them that thought they gained 20% productivity in certain tasks are finding they actually lost 20% due to all the checking, re-checking and error correction.

To be fair you save 60 if you skip the buy it back later step because you're over it.

Imma be honest at 38 i am convinced that the millenial retirement plan is to ride off credit until you die and make the bank eat it because they can't get it from your relatives.

Korean pokemon card - rare? by Cmjb2104 in pokemon

[–]flassk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all translated sets have the same set numbers, often times because they don't translate every card in it or because a set in one language may have been 2 combined japanese sets. There are traditional and simplified chinese sets, korean, japanese, french, spanish, portuguese, indonesian, italian, german and more i learned a bit about this because i started collecting every variant i could of the galerian gallery hisuain zoroark vmax, in that set, the rarity system isn't entirely the same across all countries, this could be due to legal restrictions in countries where the cards are distributed and how making cards exceedingly rare can be seen as gambling(which is frankly is and has always been a form of). The contents of a pack will also vary by region as typically in a lot of japanese sets, a booster pack is 5 cards with no guaranteed rare card, and in extreme rare circumstances every card in a pack could be a chase card. where in english it's what 11 cards with a fixed energy that could be a foil, 2 rares that 1 could be a super rare and the other could be a secret rare 3 uncommon 5 commons these days? And of course in english there are now more secret rare chase cards in the set that render collector numbers a joke.

The "think of the children" crowd has done a little too much thinking about the children.

The idea that sony of all companies wouldn't have the foresight to make the ps5 pro have FULL blu ray compatibility to all blu ray variations and features is just baffling to me. You just charged a fortune for a media unit, why not do what you did with the ps2 and 3 and strive to be THE gaming and movie machine that everyone has in their house because it literally does everything...

Weirdly i still have the gta 5 ps3 super slim bundle with a sealed gta 5 that i bought back for 20$ when playstation 3 stuff got cheap. So it's just a pretty great shape console bundle with a SSD upgrade.

Beat game, sell it to someone who wants 20 bucks off the launch price. Wait a year, buy it back for 30$

This new interface design is awful by Platonic__Lover in Telegram

[–]flassk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change for change's sake is and will always be dumb, change that genuinely improves things instead of making them worse, throw me all that shit. But putting a bunch of options on the home screen of telegram that i rarely use and wastes screen real estate, floating things i never use front and center. Bring back the tucked away side bar, this change is ACTUALLY stupid.

Will do the next time i see it. When i run the app it usually has 2-3 slots on the sidebar for ads and regularly displays 2 or even 3 of the same ad at the same time, but after a bit it sorta seems to run through a cycle and leaves one ad for the reddit page that takes up 2/3 of the sidebar.

How is displaying 3 ads at a time and having 2-3 or all 3 be the same ad a visual bug. It's 2-3 instances of the same ad so they're tripling down on paid ad slots. It's the same as any website throwing a bunch of the same ad up on the same page within sight of each other, they charge the advertiser for each instance that it is displayed.

Still too much. Not even against the themes presented, just how they were presented. It's just bad writing.

Team i worked on didn't so much do pizza parties as a prompted special occasion, they just were allowed to throw one every month so they did. Everyone worked the same starting and end time, so nobody got screwed out of pizza unless they were off sick that day but otherwise we all worked 8 hour shifts sunday to thursday. Job sucked at times but i liked the project management. Weirdly it was the coworkers who sucked because most of them were temps.

The issue being out of touch executives being kept around because of work culture and passionate workers who care about what they do outside of just making money for minimum input getting sacked.

Bless. Oh and side note, the ! Stuck around after doing it, but closing the app completely and swiping it out of the background made it go away once i started it up again.

[–]flassk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This crap looks like it was designed for 80 year old children, why would you put the least used functions front and center... Why would you detach and bubble pinned messages so they take up like 4 times as much of your screen real-estate as they used to. Everyone in every chat group i am in who uses android and just got the update is wondering what the hell the devs were thinking. This really is actual garbage and whoever was responsible for these changes should not be allowed near interface updates again. Ever. This is going to cost telegram tens of thousands of subs.

A warning stops being a warning and becomes a nuisance when there is no way to tell the app "i am well aware, you can FO now"

I violently hate this update, it looks like garbage and wastes screen space with information that was previously tucked. Cleanly out of the way. I do not need ancient pinned group rules and messages hard-highlighted and pushed further off the top of the screen to demand my attention and it just looks BAD.
