As someone who has interviewed candidates for developer jobs for over a decade: this sounds like “in my day everything was better”.
Yes, there are plenty of candidates who can’t explain the piece of code they copied from Copilot. But guess what? A few years ago there were plenty of candidates who couldn’t explain the code they copied from StackOverflow. And before that, there were those who failed at the basic programming test we gave them.
We don’t hire those people. We hire the ones who use the tools at their disposal and also show they understand what they’re doing. The tools change, the requirements do not.
To me at least, the EA App (despite its lame name) is better than Origin ever was. I know that’s not saying much, but there it is. It’s more stable and has a better layout.
I just wish they’d stop thinking I “play The Sims” just because I tried a demo 5 years ago and decided it wasn’t for me.
Not a perfect analogy, but it fits. 11 is literally 10 with a higher build number and a different shell. The same relation exists between 2000 and XP.
The problem is that the shell is what people interact with, and what they equate “Windows” with. Which is understandable and to some extent even correct.
I also think there’s a fair amount of memory bias. People complained about every new Windows version.
Click a link? Oh you young whippersnapper! We used to have a note with written domain names or even IP addresses that we would type in if we wanted to go somewhere online.
I’m very interested in what the offending page looked like. itch.io in the first reports seemed to suggest it was a false positive, without outright saying so. Both Funko and BrandShield are quiet about it, but between the lines you can infer they think the AI tool’s report was legitimate.
You could also try ecosia. I’ve been using them for years, and since a few months Vivaldi has a deal with them too.
