I'm pretty sure the amarok that introduced plasma did it wrong too (that was 14ish ?! Years ago though, so I'm not sure).

The gnome2 music player handled it wrong too, but I did like it's 3 column filter interface that I think was modelled on iTunes.

I really liked amarok of that era though (forget if it was 1 or 2). In general I think it was the only KDE app I preferred over gnome (I was/am a huge gnome2 fan).

Those were the days, I'm still convinced Ubuntu 7.10 was peak Linux desktop. Everyone got cocky after that and tried to do their own thing and we're just now barely starting to recover.

I really liked amarok.

Of all the music players, it was the only one that seemed to properly support various artists.

Specifically I could have a soundtrack album that was under various artists, but the individual tracks would still have an artist.

Every other player I tried on Windows and Linux did not handle this the way I expected.

They also basically created what became plasma which I thought was pretty cool.

T-Mobile should solve the problem.

They should do tests like this periodically and see if anyone responds, and give a small payout to those that report.

If they don't randomly and hit the vulnerable employees approximately once a year it would be very little cost (give them a small gift card less than $50).

Employees that fail to report get extra training, employees that buy in get fired.

Now the calculous isn't $300 for a potential jobloss/criminal situation vs nothing.

It's $50 for if it's a test, vs certain jobloss if it isn't.

$50/employee/year probably costs them far less than past fast and loose with numbers have cost them in the past.

Or like test 10% of the employees a month and give them $25 for reporting it and additional training for not reporting it.

Now your workforce isn't vulnerable at a cost of ~$25/year/employee.

Similar to the fake fishing emails a lot of employers send.

My guess is that something not Chechen enough is going to be risky to play.

And this guideline will make sure that Chechen music doesn't change in style over time.

I believe this was a trademark issue.

The state trademarked Kentucky and KFC wasn't Kentucky enough to use it.

Later court decisions made it so the state trademarking its name was invalid and KFC went back to using Kentucky (after using kitchen fresh chicken for a bit in the interim).

Why isn't 10 bit useful on the web? Reasonably priced displays are catching up, especially on mobile.

This is like the amb64 replacement for x86, it's backwards compatible. It seems to me it could likely take off where the "better" solutions have failed the same way amd64 eventually became the standard for 64 bit home computers.

There doesn't seem to be much not to like about this (except for the lack of alpha channel).

Because they paid me for 9 months and got me a better job after I drank the Kool aid.

There's a shocking number of people that drink the Kool aid, that's why companies do that stupid team building stuff.

If I'm in a place in life where I don't want to work as much, and the company I work for gets me an easier job. When something comes up, I can maintain the stay easy by hiring said company. Seems like I'd do it.

Yeah, because flooding upper management of other companies with people that like your company is terrible marketing...

This move will pay dividends as they place people that will refer to back to their former employer.

I'll take that over loads as I scroll any day.

The 800 comes with 15 up here.

What's wild is that I consistently get at least 30 up (usually closer to 50) with my wireless service from T-Mobile (which I replaced my Comcast with since 6 up was rough for working from home).

I would think that there's certain liberties you can take WRT latency for a broadcast you can't for a call leading to different codec selections.

42/6 seems a little tight for an HD video call too run smoothly with much else going on.

The downstream is fine, but 6 up leaves a lot of common uses wanting.

I'd be pretty happy with 35/20 (enough for an UHD stream and some overhead down and to do work in a reasonable time up).

But I think 100/20 is pretty reasonable, though I don't think I'd have a problem with 50/20 being the definition.

The old definition of allowing 3 up was pretty bad around here.

I had to go to 200/20 to get over 6 up and it was quite expensive, whole 250/6 was pretty cheap (second cheapest plan with an add on for 250/6, and a very premium plan to get that 20 up).

I'm sure I'm not the only person that found basic and standard packages woefully inadequate for working from home over the last few years.

I highly doubt they pay license fees.

It's more that of they get closed down they'll open a new Amazon store.

The bundler can disappear and pop back up and doesn't really have high effort. It's also their job, not their hobby.
