I sometimes make a note with someone’s name and brief description that sticks to me.

You can still read news, no need to be uninformed.

On Windows Paint is like Notepad. Barely functional. There are layers now though, which is a step into right direction. For anything decent you need 3rd party software.

Or use online editor like Photopea or Vector Ink. Checked just now and you can warp text there.

This applies to almost everything tech related whenever there is an official support and non-standard issue. These people (or bots) just follow some script and as soon as there is a bit more complex or non-standard situation, they will have no clue what to do because they are not technical.

As far as Microsoft Support Community goes, if issue is popular there often is a decent answer deeper in thread, do not focus on ″best answer″.

As per this, it seems these Independent Advisors are outsourced by Microsoft from some company called Directly. Answer is from 2019 November so it might be outsourced to different company now. There might be also several. Same happens with at least M365 enterprise support. I have seen supporters from Accenture and other companies.

Who wouldn’t? This is hilarious

I have the same mindset against Dubai and would never visit it. That said I know a perfectly normal colleague who has been there with his family 2 or 3 times and said he would probably go there again. Don’t recall why they liked it there that much.

Is there a reason to think there will be no trial and this guy by some reason will end up in some CIA black site without trial?

I just find it interesting that someone who has absolutely no trust in authorities does not have a theory that court can be influenced by the same authorities.

If you will not trust authorities how do you expect them to prove it to you?

Nothing is 100%. Obviously it is not a common thing, but organized begging is a thing. Another problem is that your ″bread″ money could become ″meth″ money.

Not just CEO. I would say he might have known even less of procedures in detail than middle management. You wouldn’t pardon all Nazis just because Hitler was on top, would you? If what you do willingly is non-ethical even if you don’t call the shots, you are just as bad.

Sure they have more money to donate, but most of population is not donating even a single cent even if they could. I do have savings which I am keeping to buy a decent flat. In theory I don’t necessarily must have it and I could settle with worse option and instead help someone who is worse than me, yet I am chosing to not do it.

We can also help by donating our time instead of money, go volunteer in soup kitchen or something like that. I don’t ever see myself doing that.

I donate maybe 15 eur per year through some store options (I either get 1 cent per each 1 eur I spend or I can transfer it to charity. Or with deposit system I can donate 10 cents per each can, bottle of beverage I buy instead of getting that deposit back). I don’t think I have explicitly transferred money otherwise. Relatively speaking I am just as bad as any billionaire when it comes to charity.

Is anyone else besides China doing this? Cannot really call it international norm if 1 country is doing this.

Agree on this except I have doubts that this statement is true

It is insulting that a Chinese run social media platform provides more freedom of speech online than its US competitors.

Aren’t we primarily ok with this guy being assassinated because he was the face of a terrible company not because he was CEO in general? If someone from middle management or even low level worker who personally denied this guy′s insurance claim would have been assasinated, would we suddenly feel sorry?

Also remember that people like surgeons or dentists also can be considered ″filthy rich″ by your average Joe standards.

You could point fingers to almost anyone, this is not specific to extra wealthy. All of us here probably have it better than 70% of humanity, yet we choose to watch a movie instead of go help others. Dedicating a large part of your life in helping others is very admirable, but it’s not something you can expect everyone to do.

Pretty sure there have not been many deserters holding such niche position. His identity already should be known.

Here’s an interesting article about all this including some myths and other exceptions to 10:10 and 08:20 rule.

This might sound easy, but is actually extremely hard

I don’t think this impossible contraption sounds simple.

Tried compatibility mode already?

Too late, I am now a proud owner of Citroën
