  What service did they provide to humanity, one more speculative asset but that also contributes to global warming?

  Why would Dell care about the commercial office real estate market?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, as a Gen X I’m sometimes surprised how tech illiterate some of my generation are…

  Then I remember when we were kids and people like me using computers were seen as weird geeks and “normal people” wouldn’t get close to a computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon’s recommendations are getting a little too creepy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s legal in US but not in most other countries

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are so many leaders in tech evil?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, Google back in the day was a great company. They were focused on putting the best product for consumer, supported open standards, kept ads at a minimum… A bit like Valve today. They really were “good guys”.

  Then I’m not sure what happened, they stopped caring and left the MBAs in charge maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google’s head of Pixel 9 design won’t apologize for its big, beautiful camera bump⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They make the contrast smaller because they don’t go over the bump. Also they can integrate it more seemlessly than this sharp 90 degrees angle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure | Proton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes Mozilla is a good example. They’re run like any other Silicon Valley company and spend more in C-suite develop their damn product.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too bad he spent all his energy getting Linux users to say GNU/Linux instead of talking about the real issues

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Custom ROMs have had just about enough of being Android's second-class citizens⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem of being stuck on an old kernel isn’t because of Google or Android, but because of chip makers (e.g. Qualcomm) not providing drivers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Google antitrust ruling could be an existential threat to the future of Firefox | Financials show 86% of Mozilla's revenue came from the agreement keeping Google as Firefox's default search engine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good, Baker can go find an other x millions salary elsewhere because it’s necessary for her family (as she said in an interview), and Firefox can become a community project again that still pays salary to actual developers but without the expensive bullshitting C-suite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know, because it sucks and has zero benefits over PNG?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate to break it to you, but companies with actual safe rails to deploying to production do exist.

  And when things go wrong, it’s never the responsibility on a single dev. It’s also the dev who reviewed the PR. It’s also the dev who buddy approved the deploy. It’s the whole department that didn’t have enough coverage in CI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Moreover, that’s the argument you hear when talking about their compensation. “But think of the responsibility and risk they take!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  John left McAfee 15 years earlier

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What does Google have to do with that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s easy to make the most capable product if you disregard the price point completely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re living off the rent from older products. What’s their last innovation? Vision Pro??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe they’re talking about the damages made by Bob Swan, the previous CEO who is indeed an MBA and was CFO of Intel before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a monopoly because gamers go where games are, and developers go where customers are.

  For the same reason Apple App Store / Play Store is a duopoly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam is the best, and we’re lucky that Steam is the one that won rather than another. Which could definitely have happened because once one of them is in place it’s extremely hard to change.

  So the situation is good for gamers, but from an economic point of view it’s bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s how much Valve pays its staff — and how few people it employs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I love Steam and I love Gabe, but the system we have that let Steam extract so much money out of the gaming industry is broken.

  And that’s true for software or online services in general, and I’m saying that as someone who benefit from that system as a software engineer.

  Because once their app is installed on your phone, they can send you push notification ads for their next great shoes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have that in my ICE car and I never use it (map of gas stations correlated with remaining fuel). That’s not specific to an EV.

  Any of those features can be in a smartphone attached to your dashboard. Sure you have some benefits in accessing the car data, but they are small.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arizona toddler rescued after getting trapped in a Tesla with a dead battery | The Model Y’s 12-volt battery, which powers things like the doors and windows, died⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My car (Citroën) has a contact less key, I don’t have to get it out of my pocket and the car automatically opens.

  But it still includes a small physical key to open the car when the battery (of the car or key) is dead.

  Luckily not even the Cybertruck is immune to those

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Before Smartphones, an Army of Real People Helped You Find Stuff on Google⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  GOOG-411 was created specifically for Google to gather voice samples, with different ages, accents, etc. to train voice recognition. It was never for the sake of providing a service.
