You obviously didn’t read the article.

Must be an old screenshot because there’s now half a page of Gemini AI garbage at the very top now.

Highly recommend using the uBlacklist extensions to filter out the garbage, spam, copycat, useless sites that somehow seem to always beat out legitimate sources in SEO.

The entire pandemic, our security operations team got constant commendations for how rapidly we scaled up, and they touted the increased productivity we had WFH. I was officially reclassified as a remote worker at the start of Covid.

Then we got a new manager after 2 years who decided everyone needed to RTO “as needed”, then monthly, then weekly.

My disabilities and medication prevents me from safely operating a vehicle to commute and my respiratory disability puts me at an extremely high risk of complications from Covid (was bedrested for 3 days from Covid, took almost a month to mostly recover, after multiple booster shots).

Tried to get accommodation, which I had never had to formally get before. Was surprisingly easy to get from HR, but my manager on the other hand made my life hell.

My manager, though, pulled out all the stops.

• He submitted a “request for family leave” for every workday that I was working from home instead of the office while I was working through HR accommodation request process. which I only found out about after HR mailed me a letter formally denying the requests.
• Then my manager straight up told me, “I think the only reason you put in a request for accommodation is to avoid coming into the office”
• Manager would “Forget” to invite only me to meetings, when others that were WFH due to illnesses like Covid would get an invite.

Jokes on them, though, I left with a very short notice, little to no documentation on key projects that I was the sole driver and maintainer on. Literally left 2-year project with 2 pages of documentation that weren’t even up to date.

• Went from making $100K total comp to over $150K total comp.
• Insurance is kickass, talking like $400/m medication only costing $15/m with no deductible.
• Nice RSU package, 60k over 4 years
• No after-hours or on-call, no SLAs

Pretty scummy overall, but average user probably doesn’t understand the drives could fail at any moment and that the older the drives age the more likely it will fail.

Regardless though, it would better serve to warn users to have a backup of their data than just a blanket age-shaming.

My SO has used Pixel phones exclusively since they first came out and every single one somehow seemed to update every week and progressively get buggies.

And the hardware is even worse. Already RMA’d her first Pixel 6 Pro, thought we’d have to RMA it again last week because the gyro was stuck on the y axis (luckily dropping it fixed the issue for now).

Battery life has been incredibly poor comparing to any other comparable phones. Signal strength likewise having issues even in a urban city of 300k people.
