IBM study: Gender equity isn't a top priority for business
matthiew and 6 others reacted to Astra.Xtreme for a topic
It's not a priority because most companies aren't discriminatory against gender or race... You can't force people to take jobs, and the issue is reversed when you do. It's about hiring the best candidate, and it's not the company's fault when the applicant pool isn't an equal split of diversity. As an engineer, I see this first hand. When I have people to hire, the applicants are 90% men and 75% of those are white. Nothing I can do about it, and of course everybody gets a fair chance.7 points -

n_K and 2 others reacted to George P for a topic
I'm all for equality but equity is a different matter altogether. Women and minorities should get all the same opportunities as others but unfairly stacking the deck to artificially boost one specific gender or race in a specific sector doesn't help anyone in the long run.3 points -

Time to finally get a steady stream of zenimax titles on game pass for good. Also we can finally put the whole exclusive debate to rest hopefully. My thinking is that any big new IP will be exclusive to Xbox and PC while some smaller titles will be first to Xbox and then come to others way later. If Sony can hold games like FF7 remake as a exclusive for over a year and counting, I say MS can do the same with any zenimax games.3 points -

Brony and one other reacted to Chugworth for a topic
That doesn't work? What is the opposite of "hire the right person irrespective of gender"? It seems like some people think that the way to get rid of sexism is to add more sexism, and the way to get rid of racism is to add more racism. If someone is applying for a software development job, it should make no difference what they have between their legs.2 points -
Harman Kardon's Invoke speaker gets an update to kill Cortana
Elliot B. and one other reacted to Nas for a topic
Because the Cortana skills servers are being put to pasture. Without the update, the wake word (Cortana) would not illicit a response and your connected services would no longer work... resulting in a bricked device. At least with the firmware update, the device is transformed into a *native* Bluetooth speaker without any chance for connection interruption by outside conditions (such as internet connectivity loss, voice commands, physically activating the top blue glow button).2 points -

Closed account and one other reacted to adrynalyne for a topic
lol GREAT SATIRE let me know when i can run full excel, word, rotate the screen, attach/detach a keyboard, and use a pen to mark up some notes. Using ANY mac feels like going back in time 10 years. the hardware hasn't evolved over the last decade, it's just gotten faster. I'll stick with my surface pros, since they're literally the only devices which can do all my work. I'd rather not be one of those idiots wandering around with a mac AND an ipad to do the same job my SPX does (while costing and weighing far less). Macs are dinosaurs, derekaw. If you prefer a cheaper slower machine with not the best battery life then you should get that machine :-) Seriously, at some point soon an ARM Mac will run windows faster and for longer under emulation and on battery than any bendy, keyboard detaching tablet capable Intel-based laptop ever could. You should have stayed with the original comment.2 points -
IBM study: Gender equity isn't a top priority for business
deadonthefloor and one other reacted to Tuskd for a topic
While I agree that companies can only hire from the applicant pool they get, the issue is more systemic. There are fewer non-white, non-male applicants because there are fewer graduates who are qualified for the role (especially in STEM). There are fewer qualified people because they did not/cannot get the education. Can be many reasons: Poverty, Access to good and cheap healthcare, Access to good education, Lack of political representation. It can also be a number of factors that prevent people from applying even though they are qualified. Past workplace harassment, Maternity breaks, pay related issues, even a feeling of insecurity that they might stick out compared to the majority of the workplace. In such cases, it is upon the company to take the extra step to make sure everyone's welcome and that you get paid for what you work, not who you are. Remember, the world is still predominantly patriarchal and racist. More so than people are willing to admit.2 points -

Intel Evo vs Apple Silicon part eight: Conclusion
JesConradsen and one other reacted to Rich Woods for a topic
Spot-on! That or have someone (more) knowledgable about Apple products do the review/comparison. Sadly, they don't exist. Apple's policy puts a lot of emphasis on forming fan followings. You are either with Apple or not. There is no gray area, no impartial people. Yea...I'm really not sure what people want from me here. I feel like if I'm not saying that Apple Silicon isn't God's gift to the computing industry and is better than everything else in every possible way, then clearly I must be biased. As I mentioned, my overall finding was that I loved using the MacBook Pro, but felt that it was a real shame that there were too many limitations to ever consider it as a daily driver. So for something that I can't consider as a daily driver, I'm supposed to be praising it? The conclusion is to wait until the next generation when Apple has this stuff worked out, and that's somehow not good enough. Honestly, I was offered this hardware again, no matter who it's from, I wouldn't accept the project. It's not worth reading comments who aren't even remotely interested in discussing the differences between the products, but instead just want to bash you for not being an Apple fanboy, and it's not worth being accused of being paid off by Intel. Although it's easy to tell who has no clue what's going on by seeing people accuse writers of being paid off.2 points -

"Nothing I can do about it, and of course everybody gets a fair chance" You believe a white male growing up in middle class America and a poor brown/black child growing up in poorly funded educational systems receive equal chances to learn and develop a skillset as outlined in this article? He's pretty clearly saying he gives every applicant a fair chance. Your response led me to reread his post. You are correct, I misinterpreted it. Cheers 👍 Your point is valid either way, there are definitely disparities in educational systems/general growing up. What we do about that, I'm not really sure...1 point -

RCTRCT reacted to Jumping Jacinta for a topic
We all know the story on Cortana. The death of Cortana for consumers has been thoroughly dissected many times. Fact of which we all know, Cortana died for consumers when WM died. It has nothing to do with the quality or lack of quality of Cortana on desktop. Just my opinion but I'm not convinced Cortana on desktop would have been popular either way. It still feels weird talking to a laptop.1 point -
Microsoft Edge Chromium is starting to roll out for Xbox consoles

Maybe this new Edge is better but I've never had a good experience browsing the web on a console. Yeah, I am not to sure why anyone would do that. There are real people in the world that can't afford another device. Right? Anyone unable to afford another device probably should be directing their limited resources elsewhere than a gaming console that costs even more money for games and streaming subscriptions.1 point -

+Dick Montage reacted to devHead for a question
Bro, there are tons of apps out there, it is just a matter of finding one that works well. Frankly, for digital management and organization of your photos, you could download and use Adobe Bridge. It is free and super stable. There are dozens of articles out there with different suggestions for what you're looking for. I would say that posting this question in a forum is the most time-consuming and tedious way of going about that, as opposed to just doing some searches on Google or YouTube.1 point -

Here's what you need to know about FLoC: Google's alternative to individual tracking
quikmantx reacted to RejZoR for a topic
Yeah, well, I'm still going to avoid Google entirely. I've eradicated it from my entire life several years ago and my life hasn't really changed. Why would I FLoC back to them now lol? Knowing that, it annoys me so much how people attribute Google to everything and ignore all other offerings that are just as good if not even better. There are so man good search engines, e-mail services, cloud storage, maps, browsers etc that one can use yet everyone just uses Google because that's apparently all they know and all they've ever heard about. Ugh. It annoys me so much I now purposely tell people to "just search it online" instead of saying "Google it".1 point -
