  • Careful about reversing charges with large companies like Google and Amazon if there's any. If you dispute a charge from Amazon they may wipe away every account that ever used that card - even if you didn't dispute any charge related to that account.

  • Company trying to be cool by occasionally gathering employees on touristic destinations instead of an office. Employees really love it, as it's just like a vacation if you just ignore that you can't pick your own accommodations, or when/what to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, or that every "leisure" activity has specific start and end times and is mandatory, or the fact that everyone is still expected to work too.

  • It's not that bad by default, it just gives it a disadvantage in terms of performance, but if you care about it you can still make it run smooth and be not-that-heavy. Microsoft just doesn't.

  • Well I would definitely buy a phone with a physical keyboard if I had any available around me. Years ago I even bought that moto Z phone that allowed attachable devices because they said there would be a keyboard for it - but they never released any.

    The AI stuff I don't mind as much as long as long as it remains being just software that I can disable.

  • Search WAS good when it was a simple search. Sites were indexed by the search engine and if you searched for the words you wanted to find, the results would be exactly that. In that context, it worked perfectly.

    But the problem was that most people used search engines in a different way. They weren't searching for specific content, but searching for answers to questions. And for that, search engines would only show results that had that same question and then you'd need to hope that the question had been answered.

    Over time, search engines kept shifting into trying to better support the questions and answers format, making the basic content search worse as a result. Where we are now, neither or them works too well. Google is now better at understanding what people are trying to search, but worse at finding it.

    AI is just expanding this with yet another layer: it might make Google better at understanding what you search and maybe even might be better at finding it than the engine is now, but it'll add the ability to misinterpret the results too.

    Honestly I'd be pretty happy if I had a simple indexed search again.
