I suspect that the majority of voters never wanted to leave in the first place. Results-wise, there was like 1.2% in it. And the leave voters were more likely to actually turn up. The problem is that too many “remainers” didn’t actually vote.
The biggest problem I see with this is the scenario where calls are recorded. They’re recorded in case we hit a “he said, she said” scenario. If some issue were to be escalated as far as a courtroom, the value of the recording to the business is greatly diminished.
Even if the words the call agent gets are 100% verbatim, a lawyer can easily argue that a significant percentage of the message is in tone of voice. If that’s lost and the agent misses a nuance of the customer’s intent, they’ll have a solid case against the business.
I did phones in a different century, so I don’t know whether this would fly today. But, my go-to for someone like this was “ok, I think I see the problem here. Shall we go ahead and fix it or do you need to do more yelling first?”
I can’t remember that line ever not shutting them down instantly. I never took it personally, whatever they had going on they were never angry at me personally.
Then again, I do remember firing a couple of customers (“we don’t want your business any more etc”) after I later became a manager and people were abusive to staff. So you could be right, also.
Surely opinions on this are going to vary wildly? Lemmy is full of people installing graphene and de-googling, while I’m happy with stock Android on Pixels with a custom launcher. Samsung, Sony and Asus all have serious devotees as well.
There’s also different responses depending on what you want in a phone. Some people want smaller than 6", others must have a 3.5mm jack. Some want SD storage. The camera is vital for me, but most of my colleagues don’t really care about the camera.
How would you sift through all that for a “best” one size fits all phone?
I’m not sure whether this is actually a cool guide, or how an Australian thinks of US regions. But this map mostly aligns with my impressions of the USA. So, it may well be a pretty good guide.
You might like Civ IV, it’s square tiled instead of hexagon tiles. I’ve always preferred the squares.
Well, it has an all-time peak of 23 players online and an estimated owner base of fewer than 1,000. Based purely on those stats, I assume it sucks.
It has enough owners that they’d have spread the word if it were worth looking at.
If it was that big a deal for you, why would you use a phone OS by that same company?
SMS is hot garbage:
But sure. It works for anyone on any phone.
The neat thing about Android is that you have the choice to do that. None of us understand why you want to use sms over rcs, but we love that you can.
They have Egosoft and their X universe games. Epic sandbox galactic games. I love my X3 empires.
The entire medium was pushed to new limits with Ninjai.
If it were a state in Australia, it would be our third-smallest.
That’s more a statement on the USA’s tiny states than anything specific against Texas though.
£1,212 is more like $1,500 US dollars. Which is nuts.
The author has a MacBook and has discovered that the new Apple Silicon is terrible for games. Particularly 32-bit games. It turns out Valve hasn’t re-made these 10-20 year old games to compensate for Apple’s hardware compatibility changes.
Somehow, that’s Valve’s fault and a sign that they’re going down the drain.
It isn’t a monopoly though. Even ignoring the Blizzards, Epics and GOGs of the web, any developer can host their game on their own Web site and market it completely independently of Steam and keep 100% of their takings.
The monopoly on storefront argument holds water in mobile land where side-loading a game is not possible/easy. In the world of computers though, I don’t think the same standard applies.
the days of being remotely excited by phone design are way behind us. This looks like an iPhone 4 with a pixel 6+ camera bar. Meh.
I actually love Civ IV, myself. I’m sure Leonard Nemoy is a huge part of why.
My wife, with a PhD applying for jobs 15 years ago:
“You’re stupidly over-qualified for this entry-level job, we fear that you will leave us as soon as you get a better offer.”
or
“You have the qualifications for his role, but you lack previous experience.”
I should probably know this, but why “threadverse” and not “fediverse”? The name Threadverse sounds like a Meta trademark.
True, but we are speaking about what people want, not how they voted.
