Looks like a board of a crypto(scam): weak, unclear profiles, frequent changes, no board experience, personal connections. It's quite amazing they've seemingly stumbled upon $100b product.
Well I mean the first answer in the linked ‘duplicate’ does also basically answer OP’s question so - on the one hand, yeah, but on the other hand, yyeeaahh
Except there really isn’t a better product to back up these issues. There were some important improvements made to the gameplay, traffic system, certain things were reworked, nicer graphics etc. It feels like an iteration and not a ground-breaking game rhat would justify the performance issues we’re seeing.
The design was iterated, but the game assets are redone almost completely, and the systems appear largely reworked, too. This is evident when you play the game.
The scope of work done for this game was exceptionally large for a company with 40 employees, assuming it was done within the usual AAA timeframe.
I pay 4eur for 1tb managed NextCloud from Hetzner - it's a good service overall but it's unusable for photos. Apart from iCloud at 10eur per month are there any alternatives with a good photos (viewing, sharing, tagging, ai etc) integration?
Hi @athrow, would you kindly provide a little more info here? What exactly are the issue(s) around photos? I ask only because i've been managing my own instance of nextcloud for years, and had seriously been considering moving to the managed Hetzner approach. (I love nextcloud, but just trying to reduce maintenance tasks that i do every month, etc.) So, any details or experience you would share around nextcloud and photos is greatly appreciated! :-)
1) It seems that some movies are placed first in the Photos screen, no correct thumbnails are generated for these. I'm unable to play the vide of these movies (.mov files). This means that when opening the Photos app I'm met with a wall of thumbnail placeholders.
3) Random error loading of the photos - some photos just don't open and display the placeholder thumbnail.
4) Linked to 1) - some videos appear between photos so I'm getting a mix of photos thumbnails and placeholder thumbnails.
5) As I scroll down the thumbnails are generated so there is a noticeable lag between scrolling and photos appearing. iCloud can generate thumbnails almost as quickly as I'm scrolling so the difference is noticeable.
6) Lack of any AI integrated into the product (face matching etc.)
Thanks so much for this! I guess because for my usage, most often I'm viewing photos and videos either via mobile or via my local directory (which is what gets synched to my nextcloud instance)...so i have not encountered some of these issues. But, now that you mention these, i tried a few, and see exactly what you mean. For me, it does not spell doom - though your list is spot on - because as noted i'm not getting hit too hard by most of these. But, this does help me because i am going to try nextcloud via Hetzner. Again, my goal is simply to lessen a few maintenance chores every month...so if i get a few cuts, maybe not so bad; especially since the Hetzner cost is quite fair. Thanks for your help; very informative and I'm very appreciative of your time and attention!!!
No problem, honestly I think for the price it's really hard to beat considering that you get unlimited (subject to fair use I'm guessing) traffic and backups included in the price. Also, supposedly v25 of NextCloud does offer big improvements (including for Photos) - Hetzner are yet to implement this.
Photoprism is good. Have you upgraded to NC 25 and photos 2.0? It is a massive improvement, and you can use Recognize app for auto tagging your photos using facial and other object recognition.
Hetzner offers a managed product -I'm still on version 24.0.5. The users aren't given the possibility to upgrade or configure the product. For example, I'm not able to turn on the option to create the photo thumbnails.

Alternatively they can just return to India? I'd be surprised if they didn't receive reallocation package (16k USD according to teamblind?). I don't expect any employer to go above and beyond their contractual obligations.
There is also certain irony here in Meta employees expecting ethical behavior from Meta whilst happily creating and maintaining unethical outcomes for the customers.
Indeed. So many have returned to India in far worse circumstances during 2008 recession.

You are right. I am sorry to say but this outpouring for folks who are in vastly better financial situation is an example of People like Us have more feelings than masses.

Are you sure they will be allowed to keep it? Relocation package is usually tied to one year work period in the new location and you have to give it back if you leave earlier than that.
Success: getting through the probation period, not getting on PIP, getting recognition for work done, setting myself up for promotion. I’ve read a couple of accounts of people getting sacked on Team Blind due to not speaking up in meetings and various other reasons which I’m guessing could be avoided.
