Glassdoor is not reliable. Companies can pay to suppress negative comments.
Are there trusted impartial review sites?
They exist, but are very few - their articles get stolen by unscrupulous copycats, or the AI slop buries them in noise. It's like panning for gold, but instead of a bubbling creek it's sewage runoff. I hardly ever find trustworthy results on the first page any more, you got to go several pages deep until you stop seeing the "Top N you absolutely need to buy!" results.
Skellige in Witcher 3 (minus the monsters). I can't not stop to take in the sights. And the music is *chef's kiss*.
Not exactly "fan" theory since I hate that show, but Caillou is bald because has cancer, and he's allowed to be a little shit because he's dying.
The Fifth Element.
Off the commercial off the shelf "smart" TVs available, I started by looking at the OSes available. Choices were Roku, webOS, Tizen, and Google TV. I immediately ruled out Roku because of their recent changes to terms&conditions. webOS is pretty much limited to LG TVs, and I had bad experiences with LG warranties, so I ruled that out. Tizen (Samsung) was out for similar reasons, so that left me with Google TV. It's... OK. Doesn't require Internet connection to work, and doesn't nag me about it. And it came with a hardware switch to turn off the microphone. Not sure if that's a brand thing (Hisense) or applicable to all Google TV devices, but was reassuring.
It's probably 4 or 8 GB actual RAM, with the rest being effectively swap.
Does registry still have that problem of making it practically impossible to do garbage collection on old images?
Not a stupid question at all. Here's the Wikipedia article for it. The significant part is this:
The 5-dimensional discs [have] tiny patterns printed on 3 layers within the discs. Depending on the angle they are viewed from, these patterns can look completely different. This may sound like science fiction, but it's basically a really fancy optical illusion. In this case, the 5 dimensions inside of the discs are the size and orientation in relation to the 3-dimensional position of the nanostructures. The concept of being 5-dimensional means that one disc has several different images depending on the angle that one views it from, and the magnification of the microscope used to view it. Basically, each disc has multiple layers of micro and macro level images.

I'll make one exception for audio messages: the other person being in a situation where they cannot easily type the message, but it's not an emergency. Hands full, driving, inclement weather, etc. I take it as an implicit "this message is important, but not drop-everything-else critical."
