They're not really ok though. You have to flip both horizontally AND vertically to get the correct results:
1. Flip the fretboard left to right so the open string is on the left
2. Play the open strings by clicking their names, hear the correct pitches
3. Play fret 1 on the low E string, you hear an F two octaves up (ie fret 1 on the high E string). Continue with fret 1 on the other strings - on the A string, you hear a C, as if you were playing fret 1 on the B string.
So it's only flipping the open strings, and not inverting the fretboard. I guess the idea is that you can have righty, lefty, and lefty-strung-righty, but the labels are wrong so I think this is just a mistake.
But, click both flip buttons and you'll end up where you want to be.
I've got a British driving license and an American driving license. The British driving license was hard work. The American driving license involved little more than proving I could make the car go forwards and that I had a pulse.
There's really a 40% failure rate? That's insane given how easy it is to pass the test.
“The hackers involved claim to have taken more than 100 terabytes of data from Sony”
“The data included personal information about Sony Pictures employees and their families, e-mails between employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased Sony films, and other information.”
The YouTube mistake sounds to me like a publicity stunt, but “hilariously insecure” isn’t necessarily an incorrect assessment of Sony’s infrastructure.
I can't seem to find anything more recent than June 2016 on the so-called Tetris Trilogy (though I admit to not looking very hard), but this fake Tetris movie trailer from 2012 is something that I think could actually be interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhwGEa7507g
"But before the end of the first month of daylight saving that January, eight children died in traffic accidents in Florida, and a spokesperson for Florida’s education department attributed six of those deaths directly to children going to school in darkness."
Before I bought my first iPod I got a Sony Network Walkman NW-E3. It was about the size of a packet of gum, had 64MB of flash memory, and was so unrelentingly awful that I swore I would never buy another piece of Sony hardware. I don't remember ever feeling so furious about any other purchase I've made.
That the iPod dominated the industry really shouldn't be a surprise when Sony was producing junk like the NW-E3.
Last I heard MS were having reliability problems with the Surface:
"The breakage rate for Microsoft Corp’s Surface devices is significantly worse than for other manufacturers’ laptops and tablets, Consumer Reports said, adding that it was removing its “recommended” designation for Surface products."
I don't know about the pure statistics, but my experience and other people I know (which actually still run the Surface Pro 1) have had a great experience.
In the past, there was a minor issue that the surface tablet didn't understand that you removed the keyboard. But that seems to be fixed now and it didn't happen that often anyway.
Surface pro experience where I work is not good. I had my surface for a few months, after every holiday it had problems starting. After my summer holiday, where it was powered off for 3 week, I could not get it to power on anymore. Had to return it to Microsoft, got a replacement. Replaced that with a thinkpad t470s. Much better experience so far, and having 24gb also helps if you run a number of docker images.
But when AI can be used to improve itself, that's when things get interesting.
