Interview Question opinion wanted
garwin and 2 others reacted to Usama Jawad96 for a topic
Just my personal opinion and probably isn't applicable to all industries, but it usually isn't a good idea to show desperation to a potential employer. It leaves the door open to them lowballing you on a job offer, knowing that you really want the role. If they want to offer you a job, you'll obviously find out, sending emails isn't going to change anything3 points -

Fire TV Stick 4K with three months of Prime is 50% off today at Amazon UK
Steven P. and 2 others reacted to +InsaneNutter for a topic
Most of these Chinese devices are cheap for a reason. They run a old, generic version of Android, not Android TV. In addition they fail SafteyNet and don't support for DRM for playing HD Netflix / other streaming services, even if you side load them. Your paying for the DRM, Google Certification or features like Dolby Atmos Audio with the more expensive ones. Granted some do have custom rom support which can make them useful in certain situations, devices with an Amlogic S905W chipset can be flashed with a custom rom + Magisk so they pass SafteyNet. These are popular in the Pokemon Go maps community as they can be purchased for £15-20, run the game and can be connected to a central server allowing them to produce live maps of a local area for the game. If you want something cheap to use a browser / office apps on i'd argue something like a Raspberry Pi is a far better investment.3 points -
Facebook saw a drop in hate speech prevalence during Q4 2020
Snake89 and 2 others reacted to restroom for a topic
Translated - they saw a drop in what they constitute to be hate speech, not necessarily actual hate speech. I'm not a political person and nor am I "left or right" wing. I see benefits from the ideas on both sides of the spectrum. However the online social media companies seem to have a very narrow view of what they believe is and is not hate speech, particularly dependent on the political views of those who run the platforms. It frustrates me that one view is stifled over another as this is what makes people become more extreme and frustrated, leading to worse problems later on when those people end up going underground and less monitoring able to be done on them by the authorities if needed.3 points -

You have a valid point but websites/platforms leaning more towards one side over the other is nothing new on the internet. It's actually the norm, this is only becoming a "issue" now because of the latest high profile bans FB/Twitter etc have done. But take any site, on any topic that draws a fanbase of any kind, and that's what you get. Neowin for example has more people who look positively and favor MS over the competition. A few clicks and you'll find a site that favors Apple more than anyone, a few more clicks and you'll find a site that favors Linux above all else. And that's just tech, but pick any broad reaching topic/interest out there from tech to sports to politics to w/e, the same applies. While the right is crying that they're getting unfairly banned on these platforms compared to the left, I think if we actually sat down and looked at the raw numbers the split, as far as right vs left, goes, is probably pretty close. The thing is when a left leaning crazy liberal gets banned, it doesn't make the news. When a high profiled crazy right wing nut gets banned it makes waves. At the end of the day though that's one person from both sides, though the impact overall is less. What should happen, and I think this would put the whole thing to rest, is if they tweaked Section 230 censorship part to something more specific. As it stands it's just a blanket ability to ban/moderate users content in good faith. It doesn't state any specifics, so any site can have it's own unique criteria. Maybe we should clearly define hate speech? Would that make it better? I'm not 100% sure at this point.2 points -

stadii reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Side Note: The 4K devices are faster. Even though they are listed as having the same RAM, Storage, and Processor, something isn't the same. (On my todo list to pop a few of them open and see what is up.) There is also a performance bump between generations, so you have an older Gen 1/2 device, these would be worth the change just for the speed alone, even if you only use them in 1080p mode.1 point -

LoneWolfSL reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
Shooters generally don't have these kinds of features since they are trying to make action sequences, not sandboxes. It's an interesting path to take for Halo. Agree. Halo always did step outside the classic FPS model with vehicles and other interactions when it was less common in fast action games, let alone FPS focused games of the time.1 point -
Metro by T-Mobile is selling the Motorola One 5G Ace for $20
Brandon H reacted to Mobius Enigma for a topic
I have to agree, and it is odd. In the 'droid' era, Motorola had a strong start, even if there were some quality issues with screens on the first and second generation. Google's meddling also didn't help. Motorola also made some of the best bluetooth headsets for a long time - they still do if you can find them. LG is odd, cause they make really good technology when pushed, and oddly, providing other OEMs better screens than they used in their own brands. The Lumia 950 and XL had the top screens of 2015, while LG's own model didn't get close to matching them until somewhere around 2018. Makes no sense. I cycle through a lot of devices and crap, trying to find anything that I can 'stand'. I keep going back to Samsung for features. However, what is surprising is some of the generic-ish brands are good enough, it isn't like any device is going to fix the problems with Android, even though Samsung and a couple of other brand at least try.1 point -

Robbing them by charging the same as other platforms like Nintendo or Sony? Also, are they really gonna take those profits back to the employees that worked on the game? If so great, but something tells me that's not what's gonna happen at all. Let's be realistic here at least... Just a quick reminder that Gabe Newell is a literal, actual $10-billionaire, and he made almost all of that money from taking a personal cut of every Steam purchase. Valve is a private company -- for the most part, that 30% cut doesn't go anywhere other than his personal fortune. How much money does one man need? Why even -slightly- stick up for his capability to make even more money off of the rest of us?1 point -

If so great, but something tells me that's not what's gonna happen at all. Let's be realistic here at least... yes. they have no exclusive hardware so they can f off "exclusive hardware" lol, maybe the Switch at best, but they're all PCs under the hood at this point otherwise. Either way, the employees aren't magically making more money from this. I'd love to be wrong though!1 point -

Microsoft reportedly tried to buy Pinterest
Tuskd reacted to George P for a topic
Thats seems to be a strange business practice if true. If you need companies to use Azure, give them deep discounts, not buy them up. You want access to all the user data that comes with it, they can use Azure but you don't have access to it. Buying social media companies gives you all that data to. And also all the content on it, like it says in the article, using the pictures in office for example. My point was that MS would get the benefits but can still be hands off like with Github and LinkedIn.1 point -
