Same here, it felt good knowing that I could at least crank something to the max.

As an aside, does anyone know why console games will sometimes opt to use a very low AF setting? It’s something that comes up in Digital Foundry videos and I was curious if anyone familiar with console dev could shed some light.

I honestly believe this could have been achieved already, at least in my country. But opportunities to push us in that direction are avoided more often than not. Maybe the same characteristics that advanced developed nations will also be their downfall?

Because people spend a large portion of their lives at work. I think it’s sad that so many people have to work these kinds of jobs because their talents aren’t monetisable. A person shouldn’t have to justify their need for shelter or food.

I think “useless” is the wrong aspect to focus on. Having someone sit at a desk doing nothing except answer a couple of phone calls sounds terrible. It’s good from the firm’s perspective because they get their receptionist, but the person in that role likely doesn’t get anything more than a pay check out of it.

This doesn’t help with decision making though. If long covid is worse than going to the ICU then something must’ve been measured or documented that shows this. Otherwise what’s your point?

Windows’ built-in file search becomes embarrassing once you’ve used Everything. Though Windows search does save me from having to trawl through settings/control panel.

Relevant text under 5.1.1 (v):

(v) Account Sign-In: If your app doesn’t include significant account-based features, let people use it without a login. If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. Apps may not require users to enter personal information to function, except when directly relevant to the core functionality of the app or required by law. If your core app functionality is not related to a specific social network (e.g. Facebook, WeChat, Weibo, Twitter, etc.), you must provide access without a login or via another mechanism. Pulling basic profile information, sharing to the social network, or inviting friends to use the app are not considered core app functionality. The app must also include a mechanism to revoke social network credentials and disable data access between the app and social network from within the app. An app may not store credentials or tokens to social networks off of the device and may only use such credentials or tokens to directly connect to the social network from the app itself while the app is in use.
