Re: How

That what you think...

Re: What's going on at Google?

Or they realised that Nest customers were not going to stand for the sort of product changes that Google had previously proposed. Rather than try to find a middle road, they're going to burn some bridges and start again.

Is that Googly?

Re: Support right-to-repair legislation

Ah that's what that was.

Getting the same issues, and the YouTube app I use is malfunctioning too.

I guess my experiment with Google-light Android is coming to an end.

Re: 16 knots - are they mad?

I vant to braaaaaaaake freeeeeeeeeeee.

And your heels and your apron.

Re: Nothing rhymed

France has been rewritten 5 times.

This version has been in place since 1958. See:

The previous comment stands.

Re: New Filter Names

Some of us dream of looking like the back end of a bus.

Some people, grumble...

Re: "The winners get the privilege of paying Google each time a user selects them from the menu."

It took them so long to get that far, I wouldn't be surprised if the guts for the fight were lacking by the time the 'solution' was proposed.

OK but

There was no warning of the takedown.

If they've been clean, the data will already have been purged, and as it's a private forum the various archives may not have the details.

Re: "CEO Marc Benioff declared that he was in hiring mode"

If he tries it in France or the UK (two jurisdictions where I know the law), if he claimed financial reasons for the firing he needs to be careful not to hire similar posts without giving the newly fired some sort of opportunity.

Re: Not the fault of Amazon

Also, it's hard for a government (any government) to fund the arms race between the tax lawyers of a multibillionaire company and a bunch of civil service.

They (and we) are going to lose. The question is how much...

Re: "Facebook has been working hard"

For Google and Facebook, they gather the data first, then discover whether it is profitable.

Re: Doctor! Doctor! the patient is turning a strange colour!

Just need to get these out:

Doctor, Doctor! Is it meant to do this?

No, you're holding it wrong.

Doctor, Doctor! This swelling has gotten really big and angry-looking. What should I do?

You'd better get a licence before the next Big Red audit.

Re: Bad guy vs bad guy

Agreed, but I dare say they'll still be able to identify a Hubert-shaped hole in their data.

And you're also assuming that everyone who contacts you and has your number or accesses the coroporate directory is equally protected.

Re: “Universities where Adobe is not core will get a lot more focused”

Completely in agreement, but as said elsewhere: Many people have difficulty transferring skills.

Modern tools don't assist this by streamlining the workflow.

For example I've taught amateur sound techs in a few hours using general techniques on analogue equipment that would be recognisable 40 years ago.

On a modern digital setup, all the power and flexibility is at your fingertips so we have to front-load all the necessary theory (hours in a classroom) or teach the tools.

If they follow it right through to the climb-down that would be great.

Or at least a floating buoy so that the memorial is put in the right place.

Re: How?

Username checks out.

But... if the contract is invalid, how can a severability clause on that same contract be held as valid?

Like a clause on an unenforceable contract saying "This contract is enforceable."

Re: Caught...

YOU'RE VERY SORRY AND SO AM I!

Re: "Anyone surprised at the gigantean cock-up"

No fair!
