Came here for the comments section and stayed for it too. Thanks for the laughs guys!

I can vouch for

1. MS Learn 2. Related books from Microsoft Press

I use both of these to learn and for teaching and have not found a better resource anywhere else. They have an incredible amount of training material.

Is there anything specific you're looking to learn?

I read way too much of this comment before I realised you were joking. Got me good.

The nostalgia is so overwhelming I'm super sad now. Such good times!!!!

Thank you

What's DOH?

I'm not going to Japan anytime soon but I was pleasantly surprised by how the site delivered 100% on what it promised. No more no less. Beautiful.

Cheers!

Your original comment was why google would expend time/resources in verifying if his app is "legit" when he is using the Eurovision name and logo.

The point of it is not what you think it is, it is what your comment actually says.

Let's go full cirlce on this. Did you, the original commenter, read your own comment after you wrote it?

I think you've misinterpreted the guidelines on my comment.

Mine was not "Did you even read the article?". It was "Did you read it whole or skim it?"

The reason I asked what I did - the very thing the original commenter had a problem with was thoroughly addressed in that article.

If you have no idea why I think the person did not fully read the article, I'm sorry but I have to ask you if you too have read the article in full or just skimmed it?

This is just bizarre that I see two instances of, what I assume, are reading comprehension difficulties about the exact same thing.

Did you actually read the entire article or just skim?

Sigh all you want. Truth doesn't change.

You experience matches mine almost 100%. I have a WH-XM1000 v3 and AirPods Pro and I reach for my AirPods Pro more often than the Sony's. The noise cancellation imo is negligible if you're using it under normal circumstances. The only scenario where the Sony's outdid the AirPods Pro was on a flight.

All said and done, I consider AirPods pro one of my best investments in life. Not only is the connectivity / switching between devices amazing, the sound quality is fantastic for earphones that size.

I think the whole point is to make it unrecognizable enough so it looks like a real typed language.

Hahaha. As someone who has been exhausted by both JS and TS for a long time now, I kinda agree with you man. I don't know, maybe TS is the only solution for making JS tolerable, but this is all so exhausting!

Adam, I've learnt so much from your podcasts. Amaaazing work. Yours is the only podcast I listen to when I have time and I'm beyond impressed by the quality of it.

Thank you from a long time Fan

I've had so many of my favorite tracks disabled/gone this way. :(

Anecdotal but anything + spotify is very glitchy. The Car audio system, bluetooth speakers / headphones etc., where other apps seem to work just fine.

Let me tell you another way in which the app is dangerously horrible. When you add a stocks widget to the home screen, the ticker value of the stock actually takes some time to update. Sometimes you gotta click it to see the updated value and then when you come back to the home screen, the widget has the same value. There were instances where I wondered how the price stayed the same for so many hours - turns out the value in the widget was not getting refreshed.

This was my only source of truth doing intraday trading (when i was not near a computer) until i figured out the bug

Can you elaborate? I'm in a similar boat and I've tried everything. I can't workout too much cos the back pain gets really worse after that. What do you mean when you say "high intensity workouts"?

He does not. He was misdiagnosed therefore "woo" is bullshit. Sound logic If I've ever seen one.

I managed to dodge every single bad apple product. I never bought MBP's only Airs. No touchbars. No shitty keyboard.

The products I've owned / own had zero problems maybe cos they're a subset of Apple products that do not have problems. What do you mean iphones die too fast? My experience has been quite the opposite.

The Apple Ecosystem.

I've invested a lot of hard earned money into it. I have an ipad, iphone, a macbook air, an apple watch, airpods pro and a mac mini. Bought these over the years.

Just the way these things work so cohesively to me is pure magic. The attention to detail on extremely minor things is pretty impressive. I haven't had to think about "doing" anything with tech ever since I bought apple products. You just remember to charge them and everything just works. I come from a pure windows / android background and I was mindblown by how convenient things were.

I'd highly recommend Apple devices to friends and family.

>Daily wage labourers don't have 250rs to spend on telecom per month.

They don't have to spend that much on telecom per month. Don't know where you get that idea from.

> I paid a lot of money to telecom and half the times the calls dropped. So stop lecturing me about how good telecom networks in India really are.

I pay a moderate amount of money and I've used Airtel and Jio for a very long time in cities and rural areas and I've had calls dropped maybe 5 times in my life. You must be doing something wrong.

> And the only reason you're having no issues with this wide open loot is because you're rich. Look at the rest of the population.

People with very meagre means have plans that they can use for internet. I'm talking about the bottom of the rung folks.

You must be extremely ignorant of how people use telecom providers or incredibly dense. I don't know which is worse but you're so out of touch with the ground reality there's no point in debating this.

Why is reading a book functionally different than reading a kindle?

For anyone reading this comment who is outside India. We never had anything called activation charges until very recently. People like the commenter above get a sim and not use it for months without paying anything and the provider had to make sure the number was ON. This became such a plague a provider went down under. Now all the providers came together and decided on a way to stop this from happening. As expected, there is an outrage.

> they give steep discounts to hook you in and then they jack up prices after destroying competition

You bough a Docomo sim. You have a jio sim now too. You don't get to talk about this. Don't be a hypocrite.

> but can you really buy a topup any more only for calling?

Yes. That is literally what I do for my other phone. https://www.jio.com/jio-top-up-recharge-plans

Do you see where it says "top up". Click that thingy and follow the instructions.

> Just one year ago we had 45rs recharge to keep phone active now it's gone up to 99Rs starting tomorrow.

If you're the kind of person who'd recharge for 100 rs and keep it for 6 months and expect top notch service, I hope they jack up the prices for activation to 1000 rs so they drive bad consumers like you out of the market so the rest of us can use the services as intended.

Thank you for proving my point. Airtel 1GB data, just "data" used to be 198 rs before jio was introduced. Now you can get 1GB everyday close to that price, thanks to Jio.

Docomo was a classic "unreal cheap prices to pull in customers and we'll get acquired". Comparing it with providers that actually stay in the market is.. weird.

> I used to have balance like 50rs per 6 months.

Lol. You realise you are the exact reason they have activation charges now right? You can't be this clueless.

> Now I gotta pay 100rs per month to keep my secondary sim active and 300 or so per month to have data + unlimited calling

You're either using it all completely wrong or someone else is scamming you. I pay 299 per month for 2gb data everyday plus unlimited calling. I have never heard of this 100rs activation crap for a phone you're actively using. If you are not using the sim why do you need to keep it "activated". I think you need to get a better understanding of how these things work to make your life easier.

If you still can't figure this out and have so many problems why don't you switch to another provider that is better? Oh wait there isn't one. Otherwise you wouldn't have a jio sim in the first place.

I'm gonna file this under a bizarre case of person who has trouble understanding how basic phone recharge works in India and just wants to complain about Jio.

This is an amazingly welcome move and it will benefit everyone except the ones who're crying about this. I've dealt with these middlemen and if you think Reliance is gonna have a monopoly and raise the prices, you should see what these folks do now. I have no sympathy for anyone here.

It's an old boys club and anytime someone disrupts they suddenly go the "we're the good guys, the newcomers are the bad ones" route.

Fuck these people.

old way? Have you forgotten how much airtel vodafone etc., charged before jio came on to the picture?

I'm slightly confused. Is the traditional way not the stable way to go about things instead of how it is done in the US? These seem more like positives than negatives to me.

I don't know about others but this comment is pretty eye opening to me. My mind just went complete 180 degrees right now. Thanks. There is so much food for thought.

Have a good one!
