Some corporate machines still run XP. Why upgrade what works?


SECURITY


Yet it would still run Windows Adware edition. =3


Use Enterprise


Enterprise Adware? Sounds hilarious to people that already paid $190 USD/seat to get spammed.

In general, Windows has always belonged on a VM snapshot backing image. =3


What are you looking for in a freelance QA? Writing tests or just building frameworks?


Writing tests and doing partially manually testing too.


> Most developers put the majority of their effort to optimising their apps for the web and the best extensions are made for Chrome on desktop.

You're changing one monopoly for another in the name of convenience. This is the wrong way to think. We have Firefox and Safari for a good reason, and should support them as to not make another IE.


Is this really a Google Graveyard body, or is it more that they moved podcast downloads from one app towards another?

> Podcasts on YouTube Music in the US already include access to downloads, background play in places like the car and on smart speakers

It looks more like consolidating competing apps to me.


I'd consider this killing off because I'm sure the interface will not be the same as the one currently used by the Podcasts app.


For many people, me included, having podcasts separate is a benefit. They’re quite different from music.


So background play in _select_ cases.

Sounds like another regression like when they removed music sync from smart watches when they killed google music and there was no current or eta for an alternative with YT music.

Never again google, not for me.

Long live Garmin and Pocket Casts for me.
