My experience was the same as yours, I tried every size room and location I could and they were all terrible.

The biggest sales pitch for the device is the smart eq that makes it sound good no matter where you put it. The only takeaway I have is that they delivered on this but the tuning target is insanely bass-boosted.

I returned a homepod after really wanting to like it. I tried several locations, didn't matter, the bass is overpowering.

There's a HUGE bass boost. It's unlistenable to anyone familiar with what a relatively neutral frequency response should sound like.

I don't know what type of curve they are targeting with all of their auto-eq magic but if you're not going to make it user-adjustable, I don't know why you would choose a bass cannon.

iTunes disappeared in Catalina, replaced by Music. For all of my uses it's functionally equivalent.

iPod sycing moved to Finder, but other than that it's not very different.

Can we just ban these accounts?

From what I've been told, physicians spend a relatively short amount of time actually studying the details of drugs while pharmacists spend several years and know considerably more about dosing, interactions, etc.

I mean this may be partially true for a retail pharmacy setting, but is much different in a clinical one.

Even in an place like Walgreens where customer service is a big part of the job, the idea that it's all a pharmacist does feels simplistic and reductionist and plainly wrong. There's lots of coordination with the patient's doctor and insurance and other pharmacies they might use.

It's like saying programmers just type into a keyboard.

I'm pretty familiar with pharmacy roles and pharmacists do not count or fill pills. That is the job of pharmacy technicians.

Windows 8 came out almost 8 years ago. A decade to restyle some GUI panels seems a bit extreme to me.

How do you use this workflow? Do you ever get around to those 500 tabs? Whenever I get to ~30 I feel like it's time to figure out what my focus actually is and I'm always so baffled by people that operate like you do.

Instead of hitting `ctrl+l` hit `ctrl+k` (or cmd) and you get a naked search directly to your default search engine.
