    dude this hinge app
    there are some aspects of its UX that are very polished
    but its voicecall (and i think its videocall) capabilities are ass
    i just had a 1 hour call with a match
    hinge dropped our call like 5 times over 30 minutes
    every time the call drops, i had no idea it happened, and either kept talking or remained in awkward silence trying to think what to bring up
    and only when she calls me again to reconnect do i realize that the call got dropped
    and when i tried to pick up the call it’s a whole another clusterfuck
    hinge is shoving its survey down my throat
    “how did your call go? would you like to learn more about her? thank you for providing your feedback”
    while the hinge voice incoming call is still ringing
    and somewhere in the notifications i think is also a message she sent saying “oh we got dropped”
    amazing
    and when i use my bluetooth headsets for a video call or voice call, the app ignores the bluetooth headset
    seriously
    is this 2008
    how hard was it to implement bluetooth headset support

    I enabled Google chat in the Gmail app today
    1. It seems they integrated back old Google Hangouts chat log, stretching back to 2013. However, not all of Google hangout chat log seems to be here. Just some of it.
    2. So many spam messages in the 2016-2017 period backlog

    3. There are some bizarre truncated exchanges and it’s unclear whether the exchange was incomplete or one sided like shown or whether the hangouts database transfer had tons of database corruptions :yonghuh:

    Like this exchange with a current work colleague
    Hmm is this when I was working on brushing up colleagues resume :monkahmm:

    I give this scammer A for effort.

    Sends three pages worth of Nigerian bank scheme, and then follows up by sending “please do you understand English?” In Korean language

    i’m starting the year
    by googling “IRS federal tax rate 2022”

    great, my formula for calculating tax payments was wrong
    i was just thinking “my cashflow is a bit low, i wish i had left more money in the checking account. a bit nervous actually”
    in the meantime overpaid 5k in taxes in december bc of my faulty formula, just found out now :yonghuh:
    maybe if I do my taxes early this year i can get it back

    actually after reviewing the formula logic, formula seems correct. it generates the correct amount for december’s payment
    why did i pay double that :yonghuh:

      oic now what i happened. after early december when i made my Q4 1040-ES payments, I decided to defer a bunch of invoices to january, which made them 2022 income instead of 2021 income – the difference in income seems to be the key factor in the tax difference.
