Once it goes web or “new” it’s a laggy piece of crap, still maybe not as bad as g suite though
I did like BBM BB on Android “hub” was horrid
The only reason people are calling you for service after is because there isn’t an easy viable alternative to your software.
So stop blaming your customers and do better testing :) If you don’t, someone will make a better product than yours because there is opportunity in that marketplace
Loved this game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI_Invaders
They bought this machine because it was the best value for the hardware specs. I didn’t realize TI actually lost money on the hardware until reading this article
“ Despite the declaration of peaceful use, from 1955 to 1985, Chalk River facilities supplied about 254.2 kilograms (560 lb) of plutonium, in the form of spent reactor fuel, to the U.S. Department of Energy to be used in the production of nuclear weapons.[3] (The bomb dropped on Nagasaki, Japan, used about 6.4 kilograms (14 lb) of plutonium.)”

Sorry eh, but this is totally unfair trade.
Example I manufacture and sell teak wood tables in Portugal. I buy the wood from Asia, which does not have a VAT and is outside the EU. When I import said wood, I get assessed a value to pay VAT on. This is a tariff. I buy the stain and finish from Germany, which is inside the EU and has a VAT, through a complex paperwork system, I also pay VAT when the finish gets imported to me, but eventually I can claim that VAT paid back and it “nets out”. So I get this back. How do I get it back? I can subtract VAT paid from the VAT collected when I sell the goods.
Yes, VAT is a tariff, by a different name.
Big moments I remember from his book.
1. Gaining access to a telco C/O and social engineering his way out after being caught
2. Ultimately being caught by sloppy practices himself, logging into systems he was comfortable with and getting traced, and then forgetting some sort of identification in a ski jacket he hadn’t used in a long time, which was in his closet in a place he was living under a new identity.
It’s been awhile so I could be partly off on those details. But I’d say at least those pieces are very believable.
Tools today seem like a hot mess, perhaps more powerful, but much less... human
Android is such a mess with their apks though.
In all seriousness this started in trumps first term when he insisted on changing NAFTA to USMCA while canada calls it CUSMA and Mexico calls it T-MEC … so it’s the no one agrees on anything agreement
China needs to respect the American trademark system!
