I feel the opposite as a software engineer. The only appointments I have are stand-ups. I can work whenever and wherever I like. I never want to go back to the stress of University now.
It has been a common thing on Android and I don't really see Android users having a worse experience. The average user is conditioned to using the app/play store.
It's funny you mention this, because I like to use vscode over ssh. I believe the editor updates the screen before the change is ever made on the server, so it feels nice and responsive like you're coding on your home machine.
Sorry, I'll take wage slavery over the gig-economy. I'm lucky and don't have to choose between the two right now with my flexible schedule at my current job.
The problem with using another form of payment is I won't purchase from a small business online without PayPal. PayPal offers consumer protection so I can take a risk with a company I don't trust yet. if it goes bad I can file a complaint and it will almost always get resolved.
What contract? Most of these contracts have terms for canceling early. Like a fee to cover the remaining cost of the phone. After that point, it's their phone and I don't see a problem with someone using their property on another network.
Definitely, I saw this from working on hybrids when I was a mechanic. The transmissions were simpler, the engine rarely needed any work since they ran less than a gas only car. They barely needed any brake work since the electric motor does most of the stopping.
A full electric pretty much eliminates all the work besides replacing tires and replacing the brakes maybe once in the car's lifetime.
Some customers with older evs will need new batteries but the price of a battery is so expensive that dealers won't have a lot of room for markup and it only takes a few hours to replace one.
I want my desktop OS to act like a proper desktop workstation and my phone to act like a typical smartphone. Don't force Windows 8 like experience onto me.
I like the Arduino for this reason. It was a lot more interesting than printing hello world to a screen. I would find little things I could do with the Arduino for random little things that I couldn't easily do with a pre-existing app on the phone or computer.
Also, before I started studying computer science, I liked the Unity Game engine as it was quick to implement something interesting and it was easy to find lessons and instructions online to develop in C# and the Unity engine.
