The problem is, loading things takes different amounts of time. I once tried to implement a real loading bar for an app because it took long enough to load that clients needed some indication that the app hadn't crashed. There were seven steps, so I naively made each step take about 14% of the bar. Then I tested it, and it just jumped to step 4, sat there for the entire loading process, and then jumped to 100%. Because loading isn't linear.

The only way for loading bars to work is for them to be fake.

Everyone at my work who has this runs into issues whenever they need to share their screens, apologizing for low resolution or painstakingly resizing every window to mimic multiple screens anyway.

My name came from an old MMO-ish type web game where you could milk butterflies and when you did sometimes they said "Milx 4 u!"

So, it's probably not related to any other Milk-related usernames lol.

Yeah people do that, until you're sharing a code window and then need to see if it works on a browser and then your dev tools are popped out so you have three windows...or you don't want to just have one meeting and one window visible, you also want slack or a window for googling or something similar...

It's all workaround-able, it's just minor annoyance after minor annoyance lol.

Spiders Georg origin story right here

I wonder what happens if you try to search off the changed titles? Obviously it won't work on other devices that don't have it, but on the same device, will "Zenfone 10 review" return that MKB video?

It's not like all those subreddits existed at 0.1 though.

Yeah, the benefit of the new technology doesn't outweigh the slew of minor annoyances associated with making it work in a world designed for regular sized monitors.
