...This is the first time ever that I heard of this "Wrapped" thing.
Isn't Spotify a platform for listening to music that you like?

I am still fond of the A430.

Everything you said is bullshit. Windows deserves all the flak for all the right reasons. This is simply not one of them.

Apologies, I should have mentioned that the situation I mentioned was about in-house employees.

As someone who worked for years in support (a long time ago), it's a classic case of "intersection of sets".
On one hand, you have the set of people who actually know the products. On the other, you have the set of people willing to work in support, manning phones.
The first set is more or less inelastic. The second set can be increased somewhat by offering high salaries, but that's limited because if you increase them enough, you would reduce other sets (e.g. people who know the product but work in other areas related to the product). For example, if the helpdesk agent salary reaches or exceeds the backend support salary (that is, the engineer who is on-call), the latter would move to the former, and then you'd have a lack of engineers who know how to fix the product when it goes kaboom for some reason.

Which means it's all a complicated dance.

I worked in direct support (taking phones) back in early 2000s, and did it for a limited time, because it was an entry job and the good ones (with enough willingness and brains to move up, which wasn't a high bar) were quickly snatched to fill other positions. I remained linked to support departments, but I was no longer taking direct calls. At any rate, the struggle to hire even remotely competent agents was real. Scraping the bottom of the barrel was continuous, and the attrition was enormous, sometimes exceeding 200% per year.

There's the answer to your question.

Yet.

Right.
Some people love rubbing elbows with others, some don't. Let those who do go do it, and let those who don't skip it.

It is just that simple.

You really ARE a piece of shit.

"I would like the omelet with no salt. And no pepper. And no eggs because I'm allergic."

I'm not sure about this. I know Asian people who laughed their arses off while watching good Hollywood comedies. I laughed a lot while watching Asian, Indian, Italian, German, French, British, American, South American, Australian, New Zealand comedies, to name a few different styles.

Yes, some subtle humor might be lost, or difficult to get, but most of it would be clear. Airplane has a mix of the two. You don't get one, you'll get the other and it's still going to be funny.

Maybe the reason is society slowly pivots towards other feelings, due to social media, and their sense of humor withers. When you're bombarded with forced scary news all day, you kind of not feel like laughing anymore. Just a theory.

Then please explain this: "Current flagship foldables"

Also, TFA links to this article: https://www.theverge.com/2019/...
Also-also, how about this piece of text: "And it remained more or less unchallenged until Samsung started folding screens in half"?

No, the article is about foldable phones. But it's The verge, no surprise they bundle all types under one name.

Or maybe I see it because of my OCD, which I mentioned.

Try being a bit less of an arsehole next time.

Maybe you missed this essential tidbit: "My OCD".

If I see a dead pixel on a 4K monitor, that is ALL I see from that moment on.
If I see the crease on a flip / foldable phone, I will actively look for it every time.

Not proud of it, and I can only control it with some effort. It is what it is.

My OCD hates that bloody crease.

When?
