Not a specific experience but I am more confident about contributing to discussions.

When will any of these companies realize that they need to leave forever?

Except instead of the car being old, it is modern and fast.

Oh man, I did that too. Reminded me that I should always keep a backup.

Probably because it is stupid simple to escape their ecosystem just by sideloading apps. They want to lock you down with their own OS.

As a driver for one of these apps it's more of a bid than a tip. People send me bids to deliver their food and I deliver to the highest bidder. It sucks because that's not what a tip is supposed to be and the majority of the delivery fee doesn't go to the driver. That's why I don't really order from these delivery apps myself anymore.

Yeah it's definitely a pro and con at the same time. More of a pro for me.

Not everyone can. People should consider their needs but Windows has programs that professionals rely on.

I do like Arch. I say the biggest problem I have with it is how basic it is out the box. I like that, but I sometimes find it challenging, especially toward the beginning, to find the package I'm missing to get a certain functionality.

I strongly advise not to do that. As others pointed out, it really is just predicting the next word. It is worth learning about how to problem solve and to recognize that the only way to become a better program is with practice. It's better to get programming advice from real people online and read the documentations for the functions and languages you are trying to use.

There is so much cognitive dissonance between the warning at the bottom of the screen and the content of the commercial. Totally agreed.

I don't know about you, but I get annoyed that I still can't use NFC at checkout. It's 2023, tap to pay has been around in the US since 2016 and much longer in Europe.
