Here's what I don't get about every Chinese item on Amazon:
Why the terrible photoshop?
You've got a product. You make it. It's cheap crap, sure, but so are most established brands at this point. You probably make them in the same factory.
And surely somebody who works for you isn't a grotesquely ugly freak and could just hold the item, or otherwise use it as intended.
But no, everything from digital cameras to sticking plasters is slapped over the top of a bit of stock photography taken at an entirely different angle and lighting conditions to the one you took of the product.
I'm not sure what most people were expecting but I finally got around to playing the GOTY edition recently.
I got a game with great characters, writing and story, slightly average gameplay, all shackled to a bizarre open world that completely destroys any pacing and urgency. It really did not need all those fixers and like 150 police mini missions, which detract from it all in a major way.
Having also played Witcher 3, that's kind of what I was expecting, I guess. I genuinely think CDPR should abandon their open world ideas, because they're excellent at story telling, but really bad at filler bullshit.
Phantom Liberty ups the package to a flawed masterpiece.
Option 1: Admit your UI choices (made mostly to accommodate an all tablet PC future that never arrived) are terrible and redesign the Windows settings screens to display all new and old settings that still work, with search functions.
Option 2: Spend tens of billions training an AI to find those settings and change them.
Well done, Microsoft. I knew you'd make the right choice.
Job candidates didn't start this war. Companies want ever more ludicrous requirements (so they'd have to interview fewer people), so the average CV expands to match it.
And while you may get caught with claiming to have a degree, you can certainly embellish the rest of it. Used an Excel spreadsheet? You're now a data analyst. Dabbled in Access? Congratulations, you're now an experienced database administrator.
And if you get found out and fired, so what? So did hundreds of people who did have all the qualifications and experience. You now have a bit more, so you know what not to do next time.
Take what you can from corporations, because they're certainly trying to take all they can from you.
I watched that last Captain America one, and at one point my wife just went "Why are they in a car? Both of these men can fly!"
I knew it was going to be shit because Harrison Ford looked bored. Always a good barometer for any movie he's been in the last 20 years or so. He just can't hide it any more.
It arguable it's not more powerful than a phone, but the keyboard would certainly be useful.
Phones are capable of a lot, but even something basic like a network ping is buried and they prefer you to install some crappy app with adverts and in app purchases, rather than let you use the PC in your pocket.
