Most companies don’t listen, these guys did. Many times when people did the right thing, they had to go through a process first.

It would have been if they did it completely on their own, maybe even designed the system for this possible outcome from the beginning.

But it’s the end result that matters. They can release the source or they can not. They chose to release it, and that’s great!

But in both cases they need landlords, right?

Until that exists, we need landlords. Right?

On the other hand, rented homes has lots of demand, and that is only possible if someone else owns it.

Landslords provides a service that people need. Although not all landlords does it well.

Ah yes, that is an important distinction. Although for now, I’d say recycling instead of trashing is a big improvement. Especially if the trash ends up in nature.

Here is in Denmark they are at 100%, because that’s our law. As far as I know (as a consumer), it works just fine.

All soda bottles and cans can be returned in (almost?) any store that sells them. When we buy, a small deposit is added. When we return the container, we get the deposit back.

The deposit is adjusted every now and then to keep it small enough to not significantly affect customers buying power, but big enough that most people want the money back.

So 1920 rows x 1080 columns.

No, it’s definitely 1920 columns and 1080 rows.

So yeah the sticker is right but OP is wrong.

I don’t know what the sticker is trying to say. I can read it in two ways, and one of them is kind of correct while the other is definitely wrong. And that is unnecessarily confusing, and therefore mildly infuriating.

I don’t know what you think OP is wrong about.

These numbers refer to the rows, so the horizontal resolution.

Yes, that is the number of rows. But that makes it the vertical resolution. There’s 1080 pixels from top to bottom. If the arrows/triangles are indicating the direction of measurement, they are wrong.

I suspect that it’s an attempt at indicating a wide screen. 16:9, 16:10 etc was fairly new at the time, many buyers would be expecting their usual 4:3 screen ratio.

Number of features that is has? Sure.

Number of features that I need? Google Sheets wins.

As I use Excel at work, I’d be happy if you prove me wrong here. Just yesterday I needed to do a simple search/replace with regular expressions. My solution was to copy the data to Google Sheets.

I spent some time looking into this, getting nowhere. What’s your favorite library that actually works for you?

I don’t use a sound bar because it’s cheap, I can get surround sound for half the price.

I use a sound bar because I don’t want speakers anywhere but on the TV, plus a subwoofer hidden away.

And it sounds waaay better than just the TV.

(Although the box said that it delivers surround sound, but in that respect it’s no better than the built in speakers, as expected.)

My first PC was FULL of memory. It had ALL the memory. No amount of money could add more. It had 640KB. It was crazy.

My first computer wasn’t a PC, it had 64KB RAM. I never needed more.

If it’s “just a phone”, it’s not running Android. No Android that I ever heard of is “just a phone”.

Yep, the included feet are just something you might be able to use until you get a real mount.

If you really want the TV to stand on furniture, buy a proper vesa mounted stand (they can be very cheap) and maybe even a proper TV table.

additional months of paid vacation if they don’t need you to teach the new guy or if they are scared that you could be a pain in the ass, so they just send you home while they pay you for 3 months.

In Denmark it’s based on how long you’ve worked there. The most I’ve got personally was 7 months paid “vacation”.

At least for me in IT, everybody usually gets an adjustment that’s on average above inflation. So if you work the same place for ten years without ever getting a raise, you still keep up with inflation.

I think my lowest was 0% and my highest almost 3%. Some years slightly below inflation, but in any 3 year period I think I’ve been above inflation.

Then any raise is on top of that.

All good points. But since tipping is supporting this broken system, and not tipping seems to be worse, what do you suggest then?

I could just not go out, sure. Just stay out of it. If enough people do that, this wil lead to less customers, more employers closing their business, more employers loosing the job they couldn’t afford to quit. I don’t see how that helps either.

So I’m listening. What do you suggest?

I see what you mean, but I’m not the one fucking over the employees.

On the short term you are right, but as long as customers keeps tipping, the system works well enough for nothing to change.

The more people stops tipping, the closer we get to change.

And I’m sorry that the change will hurt the employees, but it’s not my battle. And tipping does not support the employees battle, just this days income.

Tell me another way I can support their battle, and I’ll listen.

Exactly, that’s the thing. Here in Denmark, many (most?) companies think that happy workers are more productive.

I might be colored by mostly working in places where it’s very expensive to replace an employee, but then again, for Americans I mostly talk with people in a similar kind of job.

That’s fine, I can’t expect everybody to like that kind of stuff.

But it’s still important to have that for those that do. And of course that people more like you, get what you want.
