  • I’ve just lost someone in my team for 4 months due to paternity leave. As far as I’m aware on full pay too.

    I’m happy he gets to take it, you guys in the US have it rough with workers rights. I’d say take the maximum you can and enjoy the time, we’re not put on this earth to generate profit.

    Be the change you want to see and make sure you brag to everyone about how great it is when you get back, maybe they’ll start to think differently.





  • I’ve thought about doing this myself but my GMail account is so ingrained in everything I don’t think I’d be able to untangle the mess.

    Are there any big issues you see coming up with doing this, long standing accounts not letting you change email, etc?

    Do you plan on keeping the old account around for a period to catch any services you might have forgotten about?

    Be interesting to see a follow-up once you’re done to see what kind of pain it causes.












  • The lack of backwards comparability is because of the large difference in architecture.

    The PS2 was a128 bit custom processor, the PS3 had PS2 hardware in the original fat versions to achieve backwards compatibility, it was dropped to reduce the price.

    The PS3 was a 64 bit (I think) custom PowerPC processor.

    With the PS4 Sony switched to x86_64 processors making the console essentially a PC with bespoke custom hardware. The PS5 is the same but better speced components as the tech moved on. That’s why the PS4 & 5 are compatible, they are essentially using the same architecture.

    Microsoft is a similar story but they went all in on emulation of their old consoles which is why only certain games are allowed, they only allow the ones tested to work with the emulator.
