Catchy name. He should also make another social media company called Truth Social. Oh wait..

Depends on person to person. For me it's on the order of ~20-30 minutes.

Terrible idea. Any form of biometrics are effectively passwords that can not be changed/rotated. If the data is compromised/leaked even once, it's useless.

Edit: That said, one of the other commented this: "Eyeballs are usernames not passwords". I think that's ok-ish...

I switched in the other direction (Mac to Linux).

I grew up with Windows PC's + laptops and Mac's keyboard and general way of doing things was just always really unintuitive (maybe infuriating?) for me.

I also didn't like Mac's prescriptive attitude toward me as a user. It's MY machine. I bought it, it belongs to ME. I should be able to do whatever I want to the deepest parts of the configs if I feel inclined to do so. (Like "right to repair" I would like something similar to "right to full control of my own hardware")

I think I once got it to get out of "buy" mode by lying to it and telling it I'm in a sanctioned country. Maybe it's a trick that could work for you :)

Isn't that a good thing though? I.e. promote the production of more training material for the immune system for longer?

(Please correct me in the thread if my understanding is incorrect)

In my view, underestimating the platform's capabilities may lead one to assume its imminent shutdown. For instance, I find the platform particularly useful for generating succinct bullet-point summaries of articles, enabling me to consume content in 1 minute instead of, say, 15 minutes.

Because of "Agile" planning practices. Get things barely working (MVP) then move onto the next project to make sure your manager's manager stays happy.

It strongly depends on your personality type. I'm much, much, much more productive WFH due to my ADHD.

Also, noise cancelling earphones did NOT help while I was still in the office.

I sincerely hope they don't repair it and instead focus more on building up infrastructure around renewable energy sources.

I think it depends on your tolerance for ads. I hate ads so much I end up closing browser tabs or switching off whatever appliance they're on. My hate for ads is much greater than the love for the content they are attached to.
