I’m ok with YouTube. I pay for a large music service and get no YouTube ads.

Every other service has only made things worse. Netflix has done the least by not yet pushing ads.

They could relive major streets and create dedicated bus lanes.

They could prioritize the surface train stoplights.

They could create protected bike and scooter lanes.

Or they could blame the residents for trying to get around town.

I like how democratic it can be.

I dislike how democratic it can be.

There’s too much fragmentation. There also isn’t an “anchor store” that brings people in and increases activity in more niche areas.

All high rise office buildings should be incentivized to have residential space. Let’s try and fix the housing issues and reduce cars/traffic at the same time.

Shallots. It’s an onion-garlic but tastes better.

They literally couldn’t pay the devs. Netflix for instance flat out refused to have blackberry pay for 2 full time devs to maintain an app.

Netflix looked at the market share and determined that there was 0 benefit. The people that were on blackberry devices already had a Netflix account.

Additionally Blackberry store apps were compelling for devs. Dev feedback included ease of development and more importantly they made a lot more money on the blackberry store than on iOS/android, both because the cut was better and they could jack the prices up because the customers were not nearly as frugal.

To get into mobile would require a massive overhaul of windows apps to get them mobile-friendly

Oh look, that’s exactly what they did and now we have PWAs for lots of apps. Maybe MS is getting ready to take a stab at mobile again.

Congratulations China! I’m hopeful the US can be collaborative competition!

You make a good point, which is why some art is considered really good only because it’s unique. A lot of art is decent but derivative.

You’re not wrong, legal software doesn’t require special hardware to run, but when your PDF editor with its document management system plugin no longer displays more than 2 pages when viewing them in outlook’s attachment preview and it’s seemingly related to dpi and the monitor, it’s helpful if you are using hardware that is used by many other law firms with a similar combination of hardware and software.

Anyone in legal IT, or even other lawyers, would laugh at you for using a gaming laptop.

You’d want a Lenovo think pad or dell. They are enterprise-grade, with enterprise support and enterprise software.

The legal industry is almost 100% Lenovo/dell/hp. All legal software runs on them, and the legal it industry collaborates on issues,testing.

Lenovo and dell can spec an enterprise laptop that would be just as good if not better than what’s on that desk.

This screams “buy me the most expensive laptop you can” but they were talking to their nephew who “knows computers”

What a clown show.
