Tell me you don't understand introversion and social anxiety without telling me you don't understand introversion and social anxiety.

Quite some logic.

Yeah, it's win/win to the company. They save money on workers and charge more for the goods. They're double dipping. It's great... For them. But that's the way the capitalist machine works and is going to continue working until we fix the whole damn thing. As unfortunate as it is, this is basically expected behavior in our current society.

First of all, the "licensing" is kinda tough, but I wouldn't call it "very difficult". You could learn it all in a few days.

Secondly, you don't need the "license" unless you're flying commercially. Flying as a hobby has like a page of material to read and like a 5 question test with a few rules to follow, so that's far from an excuse.

Thirdly, FPV has probably the hardest rules because you literally can't see the sky so they require you have someone with you to call stuff to you... Which no one fucking does, so FPV is by far the worst offenders.

Also I have seen FPV 6S drones at maximum speed even in densely populated areas always exceeding the legal limit of 120m if they had a license

This type of shit is why the FAA is forcing regulations across the board, including towards manufacturers, to have tracking on who's flying what and from where, which is going to start butchering the hobbyist communities. This is fucking brain dead and dangerous and people that do this shit are asking for accidents and the reason why we can't have nice things.

Yeah, this. FAA does give a fuck. A lot of people fly drones extremely illegally but they're too small for the FAA to notice or bother with, and most of them can't get to real dangerous heights anyway. But try flying near an airport and you'll find out real quick.

I still haven't figured out if people just aren't aware that it's illegal or if they're just too brazen. I think it's the former but not really sure.

most of the people making that type of comment are just going "oh no, that's what the kids are into so it's Bad".

I've seen almost none of that, so no idea where you're getting that from. Most people are against it because either a) China b) it known to cause mental issues and decrease patience or c) spying. No one gives a fuck about what kids are into.

There the solution was to go into the Apps settings, find Pixel Launcher, and choose force stop, then clear cache, then clear settings.

Fwiw, force stopping your actual launcher should fix the issue without restarting etc but it does come back.

I think I've tried doing this on the Pixel launcher with no dice, but going to give that a shot since it shouldn't hurt. I doubt this would impact the issue if it's actually based on what you claim though.

I've been crazy for months over this lmao. Glad I could help 😜

Lol, honestly, that's probably fair. My memory basically ends at 95 though and I don't remember any 3.1 menus well enough to make a call on that distinction.

That's great and I'm glad that works for you.

But most people buying portable gaming handhelds are not doing that. And the people looking for things like that are likely landing closer to a surface or standard laptop, which Windows already supports well.

What do you mean? You can still open control panel from XP/Vista and basically every option menu still points to the same shit that hasn't changed since Windows 95. Go open device manager and go to the properties of any device and you get like XP stuff at newest. Event Viewer, Disk Management, and many other high level panels haven't changed from XP.

90 percent of windows menus are still the same as 2000, even on the consumer side. And they're not virtually identical, they ARE identical.

I don't know that Microsoft has any business trying to make Windows support these devices better....

Windows is entirely built around two pillars:

1. Enterprise support for corporations, and team machine management
2. Entirely open compatibility so they can run almost any hardware you put into it, plug into it, and backwards compatibility for all that for as long as possible.

Portable game machines are not an enterprise product. Nor do you care about broad hardware support or upgradability. Nor do you care about plugging in your parallel port printer from 1985. Nor do you care about running your ancient vb6 code to run your production machines over some random firewire card.

Windows' goal is entirely oppositional to portable gaming devices. It makes almost no sense for them to try to support it, as it'd go against their entire model. For things like these, you want a thin, optimized-over-flexible, purpose built OS that does one thing: play games. Linux is already built to solve this problem way better than Windows.

But, Microsoft will probably be stupid enough to try anyway.

Now we just need that GFX software from intel / amd / nvidia that is available on windows, taking advantage of that newly supported hardware

Stop, you're making me too hard. I might be able to like, ditch Windows if that happens.

Any of this isn't a "programmers" problem - this is just a "people" problem. Programmers are just forced slaves to the system because, like everybody else, they need to eat as well.

You're not going to fix shit like that by convincing some portion of the work force that they "need to stick to morals" - if there's money involved, someone will take the pay check.

The only way this changes is if society as a whole decides this isn't okay and forces regulations or other legal enforcement to prevent shit like this. You need all of society to shift and force a change - pulling workers out of their offices will just result in new workers filling their seats.

If the MBAs could clearly and unambiguously articulate exactly what needs to be implemented

LOL if only.... If this happened, we'd need half as many engineers, even without AI. It feels like a third of my work hours are dedicated to figuring out what the fuck they actually want, and half of them are dedicated to building the wrong thing because they change their mind or didn't say something.

Shit makes me feel like I should go into management but you could not pay me enough to sit around and talk to these people for 8 hours a day.

Sure, AI would solve some problems if people could actually ask the right questions. But engineers are already being paid to be those translators on their own since companies cannot find any other way to solve this problem.

I wish I had a better answer for you.... But....

This seems to be some bug in Android 14. I reported it numerous times during the beta program MONTHS ago, and it's never been fixed. The public release came out and multiple friends have told me they're having this issue too. It still isn't fixed.

I don't know what the fuck Google is doing, but I've heard people have this issue with different launchers so I can't imagine they've all got the same bug - this seems to be Google's fault. The launcher I use has fixed multiple Android 14 bugs, but not this one. I don't think they can.

Fwiw, you should be able to force stop your launcher which is a little faster than changing launchers and changing back. And it's a hell of a lot faster than a restart... Pull down notification shade, tap settings, type Kvaesitso in the search bar which should let you tap to get to the app settings, and on that page should be a "force stop" button. Tap that, tap home, and it should be fixed.

I find this shit infuriating and I don't understand how Google deems this OK. I doubt this gets fixed before Android 15 at this point. Google has their fucking heads up their ass on this one.

I don't know if it does anything, but there's an issue about it here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/302132145 Commenting/subscribing/etc might help get this more attention.

Hey at least photos worked....

Video playback doesn't work half the time, and the other half the time it insists on 140p playback and then freezes.

They're doubling down on something they've been failing at for years.

You're really showing that you have absolutely no idea what any of this takes. These teams take large chunks of people - their live service ops alone is probably 300 people, not to mention client application teams, teams working on new features, moderation teams, support teams, billing teams, QA teams, and then literally all the execs, management, PR, HR, finance, design, office staff, and the whole slew of other things every large company needs. The funny thing is the person already listed all of these out for you... It's pretty clear you don't know what this all involves and haven't worked at a company like this at all.

I'm sure it's over 1,000 people.

Why make interesting article when fabricated title work?

why would you be sure you'll install Windows 12?

I'm not, my post said this isn't an issue till 12, as in, I'm not even considering 11, but I will consider 12.

That said, you can't stay on 10 forever without losing modern software support and modern drivers and security updates after EOL... So you basically HAVE to move at some point. My point was just in not touching 11. But it's unlikely that you'll be able to keep a Win 10 device running till 13 so... It's either 11 or 12 and with the way Microsofts cycles go, 12 likely will be better than 11.

If not... Well... Maybe Linux and proton will have caught up and Nvidia will actually make drivers etc etc. But not worth worrying about that yet.

For the same reason I'm not still running 7...because you can't actually stay on one version forever. I'm going to put the whole Linux thing aside because... Yeah, that's a topic of its own and I think anyone with half a mind knows the reasons why Linux isn't everyone's first choice.

But at some point Win 10 will reach EOL and will stop receiving updates. It'll stop receiving new versions of DirectX etc. People will stop making drivers for it. Software will start requiring things in newer versions of Windows, etc. The list goes on, but inevitably you have to update.

Luckily with Windows, you can usually skip one full release, but you can't really make it past 2. Hence why I said 12. Am I crazy about the way 12 is shaping out? No. But you'd be crazy to think that you can just remain on 10 forever so I'm being realistic.

Also, Windows is well known to have a shitty even/odd cycle where every other release sucks and the alternating ones are less bad. So hopefully 12 will be the same. For example, 95 was really good, 98 was meh, XP was fantastic, ME/2000 are kind of a joke, Vista sucked, 7 was good enough, 8 was miserable, 10 was okay, 11 is awful... So if the pattern continues, 12 should be better than 11 at least.

I didn't think this actually needed an answer but... Maybe I'm getting old and am too used to Microsofts cycles. Also, my point was "this isn't a problem till 12" meaning, I'm not touching 11 so it doesn't even matter till I start considering 12. Never said I was definitively doing it.
