Revenue doesn't equal profit but many companies are using multiple schemes to show that they are not profitable. So we also need to check the revenue. A company can just increase the CEO salary to eat up all the profit.

For it is :

  • Preparing a huge breakfast and then they take a bit and they say I need to go
  • People drinking coffee or other drinks but you see clearly that they don't, why film that ?
  • Turing the wheel of the car like crazy when they on a straight road.
  • Wearing shoes inside the house even when they are about to go to sleep.

Why not? Some companies do have a fraction of Spotify users and have around 100 software engineers. Things do not run by themselves. Also they are in many countries so you need to keep up with legal changes...

For a while I thought I was in the onion community and couldn't understand why many comments didn't catch that. And then I scrolled up and saw nottheonion.

Hi,

I will certainly buy a new android phone in the next month and I will need help choosing which one.

My requirements : has support from LineagesOs, ability to root, good battery, NFC and Google Pay should work even after root, camera should be at least OK, price under 200€ (or even 150€). I have seen devices in that range that satisfy almost all the requirements.

My current phone is Mi Mix 2 from 2019 and still usable but battery drain in one day even though I don't use it that much. I changed battery recently but nothing changed so I am always carrying an external battery. So a similar phone with bigger battery and good camera can be a good candidate. I always bought Xiaomi devices and I don't know how are the other brands.

I bought an old computer to install plex. At one time I wanted to try some tool that does speech to text and decided to install Nvidia drivers to speed the process. I messed up my system and tried for hours to fix it but I gave up. Now I don't have gui.

I will give it few weeks and we will no longer hear about it. There are many articles like this but as always nothing is developed.

Why marriage? Can't you just start living together first?

Asking someone to marry you on the first is just stupid. Many things could not work out and marriage is a big thing. Imagine spending time and money and then find out that you are not fit together. Then you live a miserable life or fill for a divorce.

At least one popular ad blocker, AdBlock Plus, won’t be trying to get around YouTube’s wall at all. Vergard Johnsen, chief product officer at AdBlock Plus developer eyeo, said he respects YouTube’s decision to start “a conversation” with users about how content gets monetized.

Shitty AdBlock Plus.
