Because it provides a different perspective, figuratively. I think that might also be a reason why HFR movies feel weird for some people, it's very much a comfort zone.

Not implementing DHCPv6 is not "inconsistent" it's from the start a thing you should NOT rely on existing.

I think people that have taken personal offense using IPv6 or when people are suggesting that IPv6 should be used instead, have stymied IPv6 adoption.

It's not the opposing side's fault if your solution is practically infeasible and wasteful.

Well one thing is a "pause" in production, another one is total and final cancellation. Has any of the NF titles been resurrected yet?

It very very likely messes up the magnetometer or even breaks it completely (I've managed that myself).

People looking at data often ignore that every user uses a specific subset of the total subset of features or content.

Just as a simplistic example, user set A wants content `x` and `y`, user set B wants content `y` and `z` - data shows that `y` is popular, but by removing `x` or `z` they make those users very reluctant to continue using the service.

I've seen it multiple times with services I use where only the common set is kept and then people start loathing and leaving the service.

If things like Star Trek were canceled season three, it'd never have reached such masses, it was a niche show at start but now there's even actual new generations watching The Next Generation. Long term decisions are hard, but if you take no risks, it's guaranteed nothing will pay off. Accidentally killing a next cult series or movie would be a huge misfortune.

It goes into the same category as criticizing C's memory safety. The errors do say a lot about the tech being prone of misuse, and that's not really a good thing.

They're "Spotify premium" ads though.

On free version, it also adds somewhat random "recommended songs" to an album playlist.

With the music playlists I just really really want a button that would mark certain songs as "I like them, but not so often". Disliking makes certain artists and styles fall totally out of my playlists, not disliking makes it repeat like a broken record.
