Same. So I just open up task manager and show them that it uses only 3.4 MB. As opposed to Teams, Chrome, and all this other bloatware.

This is a court-authorized search warrant authorized by a aitting judge. It doesn't get any more legal than that, and it's Google or any other company's legal duty to comply.

This guy is putting customers first, which is the exact opposite of most UX design philosophies I've been on the receiving end of. The entire discipline prioritizes minimalism, copying Apple, and making random changes to the interface

> For example, there are paired exercises where people troll each other as hard as they can... But it's a safe space, with trained moderators around, in case people lose it. Just curious, but where and why are you undergoing that ki

"If you do the crime, leave the phone behind." Criminals will adapt, they always do. Because this was a bank robbery, it's a Federal warrant which is harder for Google to fight or procrastinate on (if for some reason they cho

That's a serious mischaracterization, the author is clearly a fan of science fiction, but he prefers (from what I gather from the review, at least) the literary and metaphysical forms to the Campbell school. And it's a perfectly v

Get 100 developers and small companies with similar stories and it should be easy to convince a jury that Google arbitrarily, without cause or review, destroyed these people's livelihoods and should be held liable and accountable. EULA

I'm cancelling my sub because the back catalog is non-existent in my region. It is impossible to find anything older than 2000 anymore. On top of that, their UI and search functions are straight-up garbage that deliberately steer you t

The problem is definitely more noticeable on skype and other types of conference calls, because you miss all the nonverbal cues and loudmouthed narcissists can easily take over and derail all conversations with their voice alone.

Should we be worried an AI developed by Facebook excels at a game of deception?

> a project is either "successful" and meets its funding goal, or "fails" because it doesn't. This guy works at kickstarter, so his definition of success should be "when backers get what they paid for"

Why should anyone let a Google self-driving car on the road? They will just end support for it whenever "internal politics shift." Let's ban Google from working on life-saving medical devices, because they will just get bored

Solid write-up of the issue. Videogames (among others) are a prime offender with this. Every game has to invent a whole slew of overly designed and difficult to decipher icons, but a game is often something you move on from quickly and on t

The problem with your solution is that voice assistants excel at practical tasks which aren't at the root of phone and social media addiction. These are people addicted to the dopamine rush of validation and acceptance they get from so

I've created 80+ ebooks using Calibre, but it's too over-featured for casual ebook reading. I've used IceCream for that but I'll give Bookworm a look.

After reading the article, no, the Navy probably does not need more overpaid business consultants with powerpoints full of easy answers. It needs to do something about inexperienced, undertrained, overworked crews in its ships. The CO and X

This bullying, cover-it-up response toward customers is telling. If I was an early investor, I would be worried that this symptomatic of larger scales issues of deceit regarding metrics and finance. Sociopathic behavior is a huge red flag.

What bizarre comparisons! Apple has always sold sought-after physical products for profit. FB for all its crime makes incredible income through paid advertising. Snap is a dot-com gusher bleeding red ink.
