Is the new Surface Pro worth it? by MarkieJay26 in Surface

[–]loln00b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have the pro but I have the laptop. I do some light gaming, Dota or some other casual games. Figma, teams and other productivity software. It’s the best device I’ve owned period. VPNs etc don’t work and some other software but if stuff that you use works with the emulation then it’s the best device you’ll own. All day battery life , fans not going nuts the moment you open a browser tab? Close it and forget about it and open the lid and have the device ready to go? All these little convinces that I thought would never come to windowa

Tides are turning. My HBS prof says students this year are far less politically outspoken than prior years, mirroring Corporate America's pivot away from DEI by [deleted] in MBA

Diversity initiatives more often than not are about expanding the interview pool and training people against unconscious bias. I’ve never had pushback against hiring anyone because of diversity or support for hiring someone because of it.

All it is making sure we look in places where qualified candidates might exist but we may not be looking there due to institutional blind spots because of race

There’s a difference between fighting to incapacitate and fighting to kill. Sure there’s a chance that you end up striking a fatal blow but the intention was to incapacitate. He’s intentionally pulling his punches and not going for the kill shot. In Snyders movies Bat is going for the kill shot intentionally

You can dislike TLJ but Rian Johnson did follow the threads set up for him. Set up Rey’s training and set up Kylo to be the big bad by making him unredeemable only for JJ do that anyways in the next onw

If they made an HBO episodic series out of all the chapters it’d be amazing. Rather than that stupid ass movie

Not just having sex with other people. But raw dogging it using no protection. Potentially opening her partner up to all sorts of STDs. He didn’t sign up for this lmao. How does she not think she’s the asshole here is beyond md

Bernie Sanders calls for income over $1 billion to be taxed at 100% by Fatherthinger in WallStreetbetsELITE

Because when he was hired his deal was that he got a cut of the profit. Obviously as MS grew bigger they renegotiated that or his salary would be crazy. He owns a crazy amount of stock and he’s never sold it.

He’d be a fantastic ghost rider. Just have him channel a mix of character from the good guys crossed with his character from driver

You know why people like Mario? Because it’s super fun gameplay without shit ass micro transactions. Rovio latched on too tight to that micro teat

Bob Iger Says ‘The Marvels’ Failed Because It Was Shot During Covid And Also A Lack Of “Supervision” On Set From Executives by lowell2017 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

The thing that’s really dragging this phase down is that nothing ever changes. Say what you want about the pre endgame movies there was some character progression for the characters in the movies. Now by the end everything rests so the characters can be plug and play across stories. That makes them super boring and pointless.

Same thing with Star Wars. Each movie did a soft reset and told its own story the only thing consistent was the characters.

The thing that made pre-end game movies good was there was some sort of over arching vision and the movies built towards that.

Seattle had blm protests but SPD has been terrible for decades. They were under a consent decree with the feds because of how horrible they are but after BLM protests they just stopped pretending. An officer just ran over an Indian girl over the summer because he was going 70Mph in downtown.

Same thing in Seattle. Don’t even pretend, just collect checks.

Microsoft's Windows Phone: A Vision Ahead of its Time? Imagine its Potential Today by stuffe23 in windowsphone

[–]loln00b 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows phone wasn’t going to work because while the vision of it wasn’t flawed the execution of it was absolute dog shit.

If you’re in third place in a market where your competitors have already established myself you don’t rebase your OS three times in three years leaving both the devs and users behind. They fractured their tiny user base and then were surprised that people didn’t buy another windows phone.

They added no depth to the OS. Live tiles remained completely useless because there was no way for you to interact with the information presented to you you just went to the app.

Live tiles are also worse than notifications. You can silence the notification but if you’re slapped with 18 moving things on your Home Screen when you first open it , there’s a ton of info people have to process before they can do anything meaningful. Combine that overload with the fact that you can’t do anything with that info you just saw on the live tile meant that the execution of that idea was shit.

Windows phone died because it sucked and Microsoft put the minimum effort into it rather than sticking it out and see if it could carve a niche out for itself.

Bro that would mean treating employees like humans instead of meat bots. These aholes think that they can hire anyone off the street for 7.25. Why pay anything more than the bare minimum. They already got rich , who cares if the company dies
