No dissemble!

The company I work for had record earnings recently and there were high spirits, long praising newsletter from the CEO. Praise for maintaining a very stable production and higher output with fewer people than competitors.

Until our closest competitors reported their earnings. Which were higher, not surprising as they are bigger than us. Then it was doom and gloom

All of a sudden we had to have substantial budget cuts, and couldn’t rehire to fill a position for someone who had left.

Crazy huh, earned a boatload of money, but someone else earned a bit more. So then we have to cut expenses and optimize.

They still had the audacity recently to try to push the company “spirit and mindset” to employees. Something something buzzwords…

They will still discard you as fast as yesteryears iPhone.

It allows stupid people to have a community where they feel smart, and that they know something most people don’t.

I bet that’s not something they are used to

It even let’s the village idiots, of village idiots find each other.

Drop the “smart” part of the tv and use an external device like the Shield TV, heck even Apple TV is better than anything running WebOS or Tizen

They still do their bloated framework and launcher outside the US.

And then they start scanning your files, for your safety and “the children”. Find something they don’t like. Might even be perfectly legal, and close your account. Because AI…

Puff, gone are your files and you have zero way to appeal.

There is NO cloud… only someone else’s computer…

Wouldn’t Netflix’s password sharing fall under the same law then?

They use user information like connected wifi and position data to determine if a device is used away from the defined “home”.

As long as they can keep people on the platform, they keep the cash from the app store flowing.

I normally add stuff like this to my private Google calendar for that exact reason… But I forgot…

I was supposed to be at a course at 9, two hours away. Was reminded by outlook 8.45. Gee thanks Outlook, very helpful.

Worst part, is that you come off as lazy, a slack or stupid for forgetting something that neurotypical would never forget.

I’m stunned with how bad it was and why they hell they didn’t use the same strategy that made Windows popular… The apps.

My work back then gave me a Windows Phone. Very few of the apps I had on my Android phone was available for my work phone.

On top of that a lot of things simply didn’t work. One thing I still remember was that Alarm volume and Ring tone volume could not be adjusted individually.

The whole thing felt like they wanted to reinvent the wheel and started from absolute scratch without learning from the innovation in the past decade of mobile phones.

It’s sad, a third competitor in the smartphone space wouldn’t have been a bad thing.

Removed by mod

Haha, no.

It seems like they are going out of their way to remove good features. Like they removed the option to right click the taskbar and open task manager. They since added it back, but only because of user demand.

They have removed quick access to disabling the network, seeing and changing ip settings.

I can't remember all the annoying issues, but there's a lot.

I hate that it has become a general thing to ruin user experience and possibilities of customization. Google is doing the same with android.

And you "own" it only as long as they deem it. https://nofilmschool.com/warner-bros-deleting-purchased-digital-content

No no, religion is bullshit, sooo methane?

Holy shit sorry. You are right, I was sure it was USB -C.

It must have been the OnePlus two then. I distinctly remember being the only one having USB-C anywhere I went.

Wrong. OnePlus One, released in April, (as invite only) 2014 had USB-C.

I was wrong, sorry. It was not until OnePlus two.
