I'm w/ you on this assuming the question is: "Who needs it on their phone." It's the "on their phone" part that matters. It's like...Who needs a can opener? Most people. Who needs a can opener on their phone? Not many people. The bigger problem being the can opener wouldn't be as good as the standard tool & the price of the phone would increase. If I wanted/needed a thermal camera I would prefer to buy a dedicated device w/ high performance sensors.

I combat this habit by placing a window over the top of whatever app I'm using for the video call so my eyes stay on the camera. That strategy is foiled the moment screen sharing becomes required, but more often than not I know exactly what they're talking about. As I've never been on the receiving end of this strategy who knows if it makes me look better or like a weirdo..

It's more Futurama!

This has been my experience too. A random party w/ friends that rages until the next morning after 2 months of silence? Sorry, didn't mean to be that loud. We'll keep it down next time, let you know in advance, & even extend an invite. An every 3rd day blasting of music at whatever hour? Fuck you, I pay rent, I don't care if it bothers you.

Ah yes, the 'I singlehandedly thought it was the expected result" explanation. If true, still not helpful.

Sounds like capitalism in its best form.

All I remember is he's the original buyer of the "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" album by Wu-Tang for $2MM. I hope he never took a moment to listen to it before it was forfeitted on his behalf by the US government.

I continue to wonder if this is a bug or a feature. With each passing example it seems more & more like the latter?

No matter how this photo came to be it's still too much. Hilarious!

Wow! Just, wow. Such a detailed & complete database of interesting knowledge that I fully appreciate, but will never use. I commend you in the highest form.

Not Google bad. Google app bad. Expanding the statement from a specific app to an entire company is unnecessary & waters down the statement to an ideal. Ideals are fine & all, but they're based on opinions rather than facts. There's no reason to make the transition in this case.

That has nothing to do w/ the topic of operating a business in the EU. Essentially, you're suggesting that people should be educated to avoid devious behavior rather than holding companies accountable to existing laws. Sure, education could make existing laws unnecessary, but that's not really the question. You either operate a business lawfully or you don't. Society is irrelevant in that conversation.
