No different than people being into star trek, star wars, a song of fire and ice, DC or Marvel lore. People like stories they can converse over. Timelines are yet another piece to talk about.

If I had to wager it’s to reduce distractions while working. It’s the same reason I no longer wear an apple watch after I tossed it into the sun.

I highly doubt there will ever be a unified vision. Weren’t Favreau and Filoni supposed to be the vision for Disney+, and then Kathleen Kennedy kept stepping in?

Marvel got lucky with Feige, no one else has yet to achieve it. We shall see if James Gunn can succeed with DC

My larger worry about this cancellation is the potential graveyard they may have kicked off. Netflix has a lot of cancelled shows that no one will ever watch, it just dilutes their overall library. If even Star Wars isn’t immune to this, then I really do hope Disney wasn’t lying and we start seeing fewer streaming shows coming out. I think we’d all prefer quality over quantity.

It depends on your level of attachment to certain Star Wars things. I showed my wife both Ahsoka and Andor, and she really liked Ahsoka (Having never watched anything related to the cartoons) more than Andor.

Some fans of the cartoons felt the characterization of Ahsoka on the show was off. If you’re someone who goes along for the ride, you may enjoy it. If you’re the type of person that likes explanations, you may need to also watch the cartoon content (It helped my wife when I explained certain things as well). I watched the cartoons and had much appreciations for he characters and seeing how they finally came to life on the screen.

Aside from that, there are also some questionable plot choices and pacing. But that can be said of many things, even outside of star wars.

There are lists you can follow online for the relevant plot lines connected to The Mandalorian and Ahsoka. You don’t have to watch all of clone wars. You could potentially get away with not watching all of Rebels but that is a different type of show.

It would depend on the actual file formats. For example I can import a live after effects file into premiere and all the updates I make will apear on premiere’s timeline, without needing to render out. The same goes for bringing photoshop or illustrator files into After Effects. I guess we’d just have to rely more on third party plugins that connect these programs like Overlord

Would adsense even be worth it without the search? I really don’t want that popping up in even more places. My thoughts would be

Google Search + ad sense Chrome Android Waze YouTube G Suite FitBit Nest

And then there’s a ton of other misc stuff I’m unaware of

I worry what a broken up Adobe would do to workflows. One of the reasons I can do what I do is because Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere all work with each other.

Now if we want to save Behance and Frame.io, substance, Mixamo, etc, I am all for that.

Surprised there is no pre-order exclusives. And I guess amiibos are done for good then?

Edit:

• Target has a fabric poster
• Best Buy has an acrylic diorama

This has always been my experience as well. My first job was “just a job”. But I worked there for 6 yrs and made many friendships during that time. There were many “time to clock out people”, but at least half regularly hung out.

That was also my thought as well. I only use DHL with some international orders, so I questioned their placement on that list.

After seeing this article I went down a rabbit hole and IBM isn’t even in the top 10 US of most employees. Here’s some of the popular ones from the top 30.

• Walmart - 2.3 Million
• Amazon - 1.61 Million
• DHL - 594,000
• FedEx - 547,000
• UPS - 536,000
• Home Depot - 456,000
• Target - 415,000
• Kroger - 414,000
• Marriott - 411,000
• Starbucks - 381,000
• Walgreens - 333,000
• Pepsi - 318,000
• Costco - 316,000
• Chase - 309,000
• Lowes - 300,000
• IBM - 282,000
• CVS - 219,000
• Bank of America - 212,000

I mostly worry about future performance being undervolted too much, since I sometimes do heavy animation work.

I’m sure the fact that Braid is also on Netflix games didn’t help. I assume most people with a netflix account have access to play it on their phones.

From the comments I gather that this mostly depends on the kind of work. I’d assume anywhere that is a “career” type place vs “just a job” will have different kinds of attitudes. At a “just a job” you want to just gfto when you clock out. I’ve mostly had jobs in relation to education or creative, and most of the people there just want to connect.

I’ve always had friends and good times with coworkers, many of whom I’m still in contact with to this day, hell, I’ve helped some of them move.

What’s crazy to me is that they are laying off more employees than the total number of full time employees I’ve worked at for most companies.

They are laying off 12% of their work force.

They have a lot of good stuff. Dead Cells, Hades, Into the Breach , Death’s Door, Oxenfree 1 & 2, and probably others I am forgetting.

It’s also on Netflix games, even less of a reason for people to spend money on it.

So the bios update wouldn’t already put my chip within safer operating parameters? I also have to undervolt it?
