That truck is also raised. I drive a ‘normal’ size SUV and once drove past one of those raised trucks in a parking lot - its hood was as high as my roof.

I remember Battlefield 2 being a prime example for that. Not only did its performance improve once I added a discrete sound card, it also sounded much better.

Anything more than two interview rounds for anything below a C-level position is just nuts and an abuse of the candidate’s time. You can never cover all bases in the interview process, that’s what probation is for.

Lots of very roundabout ‘the game isn’t difficult, you just need to get good at it’ replies in this thread, trying hard not to say the quiet part out loud…

That’s the thing. Apple has that track record already. This years iOS update will be available for phones released as far back as 2017. And that’s not a recent development - 4+ years have been the norm with iOS devices for a long time, while many Android phones have suffered from much faster obsolescence.

Google have yet to prove that they can fulfill this promise.

I’ll touch base with you in 7 years to see how that’s going.

Does your Android phone get 5+ years of software support?

I know that now. Would you be so kind as to remove the full quote from your previous comment?

The comment is showing as deleted in my profile.

But thanks to you posting a full quote, there’s no point in me doing anything else, is there?

My in-laws brought me back a pack of 4 different craft beers from a trip recently. I can’t drink and enjoy them - way too hoppy. Even the Pilsner - and I like a good Pilsner - was not enjoyable at all. The one that’s left is the dark beer - going to be an expensive dirty Diesel one day.

Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. If legal and moral standard of society are dominated by the tenets of one religion, that’s not freedom of religion.

You can have your faith, so long as you stop forcing it down other people’s throats.

Als in Australien lebender Deutscher kostet mich ein Passantrag über mein verantwortliches Konsulat satte 180 Euro…

Es ist immer das gleiche dumme Geschwalle, als ob noch nie jemand das versucht hätte, was Lindner hier als so tolle neue Idee vorschlägt.

I pointed out that your JOKE was shit. You’re the one who started calling me names, so don’t lecture me on twisted knickers.

Wow, you have even less of a sense of humour than the average German.

Enjoy your two-ingredient Fleischsalat.

Any company with reasonably involved processes (read: more than three steps) should have clearly documented SOPs, policies and process documentation. This has nothing to do with the level people are at. I’m at senior level and sure as shit don’t remember every detail of something that was verbally communicated to me months ago unless I do it every single day, and even that’s error-prone. I write step by step instructions on processes for myself and everyone else.

Benefits of this approach:

• It’s not stuck in my or anyone else’s head, but clearly spelled out
• people can follow the process again and again, no matter how much time passes between each time - you’d be surprised how much people forget if they don’t do something on a daily basis
• clear documentation removes doubt
• clear documentation is beneficial to newly onboarded staff. Nobody gives them a half-baked version scraped together from memory fragments
• people can point out potential issues with the process, and the documentation can be amended/updated
• I myself can go back to it if I have even the slightest amount of doubt on a detail.

Drawbacks of this approach:

• someone has to write the document
• someone has to maintain it
