As a us organization you can choose between different MS cloud tiers. I know about 3, the basic tier for private customers, tier4 for large corporations and tier 5 for us gov and military organizations. My guess would be that it has something to do with which 3 letter agency can access your cloud data.
Tell me you never worked on legacy code without telling me…
Also some shady company can get full access to my photos, contacts, call history, location data, camera etc. when I use their app to remind me to buy tomatoes and eggs. its just how things are in 2025 🤷 /s
You never worked on old code. It’s never that simple in practice when you have to make changes to existing code without breaking or rewriting everything.
Sometimes the client wants a new feature that cannot easily implement and has to do a lot of different DB lookups that you can not do in a single query. Sometimes your controller loops over 10000 DB records, and you call a function 3 levels down that suddenly must spawn a new DB query each time it’s called, but you cannot change the parent DB query.
Why do you need an app for that, when it can be blocked from both app stores? Did people forget about self hosted websites?
Ok, but didn’t they buy Myspace when it was already getting less popular and a lot of people had switched to Facebook?
Online ist dead. 5 mins in and I’m getting headshots from a guy across the map with a K:D of 3000:1. Everything online costs real money or endless grind. Waiting for 15 mins in a lobby, only that the host logs out 2 mins into the mission.
Some games are not optimized for steam decks, for example simulations, strategy games, everything that requires a keyboard or tries to display a lot of text on a small screen.
Quick, insert more ads to keep revenue up!
Ah got it, you are some AI bot trying to troll.
Win 11 is a downgrade with forced ms accounts, more ads, more distractions (tabloid “news”, weather, more ads, Microsoft own product ads) added to task bar, edge and notifications. On an OS I already paid money for!
This is an UI issue. You could just show them a landing Page and ask them if they want this new feature, and then it installs the extension in the background, without explicitly ask the user to go to the extension page to install something by hand.
Even simple pages are now at least 1-2MB big. News pages without an ad blocker and Autoplay videos can easily try to download 10 or more MB per page load. On 56kbits dial up, 10MB will take about 25 mins in the best case.
Why not add this features as browser extension?
Might be a requirement in some companies for security reasons…?
Wow, that’s a good as getting raped but with a condom!
They don’t need that, they already know where your phone is at night and the next morning.
The trick is to buy a 25 year old car in good condition, and then store it in a dry place under a tarp for at least 10 more years.
Before you get a career, live and work in another country or travel on a budget for a year. See other places, meet new people, learn lots of new things and get out of your comfort zone. Some people just walk or bike across a continent with a tent.
You won’t be able to do it later in life when you have a job, family and commitments.
