Exiting hardware and focusing on just software worked really good for SEGA.

I'm a big fan of chrome add-ons that ask you for the big list of permissions. Read/delete files? Read/send email? Sure buddy, go for it. It's just the way Google implements security, we definitely aren't scraping all your stuff. Don't think too hard about it just hit accept.

do they have any linguists or teachers or writers or did they do the usual silicon valley thing and say "let's disrupt this archaic industry" and spend their first 5 years "discovering" a college 101 level understanding of their industry

does microsoft profit anything from titles on pc? consoles used to be lossleaders, with revenue made up from licensing games for the system. windows doesn't have similar barriers.

They want to via windows store, but also windows store embraced the signed app model and doesn't really work with mods at all. Value of stuff through Steam/EGS/GOG/random one-offs to them is just that it'll probably break if you go from Windows to Linux/BSD.

Vox Nihili posted:Word is really loving bad at it so if they can do it better then good for them eh, not really. my old boss demanded everyone use it in like 2017 and between the annoying plugin and stuff, it wasn't really any better than Word. plus it made things slower so i immediately uninstalled it. word is actually pretty good for 99% of cases, though you should enable some of the advanced options it has.

My impression of the MS Word grammar tool has been very poor. Misses most stuff other than obvious typos like repeated or misplaced words, and I find myself using maybe 1/4 of its recommendations. But I also haven't tried any other grammar tools so maybe they just all suck.

on the parasitic landlord front, apparently Marriott is edging into the AirBNB game and buying out airbnb property managers who have 50+ properties trying to consolidate into their own rental portfolio and has been ramping up buy-outs interesting gambit i guess

DickParasite posted:IME Australians all write emails with the passive voice. It's the weirdest thing. This made me curious enough to go check the email templates I've made for work, and this definitely doesn't apply to me. Do you work in Canberra? I could definitely believe that place is full of civil servants practicing their 'citizen affected by outcome of a cop-related action' passive-language skills.

Glad to know it's not as universal as I thought. mawarannahr posted:They're fundamentally a passive people. Sad to witness. Unironically agree. My employer does a performance review cycle that syncs up with the fiscal year, so, you know, you set goals in July and then review in January and wrap up in June. Basic job poo poo. All goals must be SMART, etc... Anyway it's now February and I still get emails from the CEO's office that like 10% of the staff haven't done their goal setting. The one that was due at the end of July. Now, in a sane environment, they (the C-suite) would hassle the senior managers, who would in turn hassle the managers to finish setting their reports' goals. But that does not happen. Instead we get passive aggresive emails reminding all of us of the importance of goal setting.
