I’m 0% Japanese and can say that so far, aside from some annoying paperwork, it’s a bliss compared to the countries I used to live in before. Maybe the difference is that I didn’t expect people to truly love me behind their smiles and politeness. Just being friendly (as it is in 99% of cases here for me) is enough, and way above my experience in Europe when people jumped to being rude and sometimes hostile right after hearing my accent after trying to speak local language.

Make one in final fantasy setting with its characters and I’m sold! Not a good things, but you’re 100% correct!

Holy shit, I never expected to see the company I worked for (as Apple support) in the news, you go Conduent! But honestly, yeah, the amount of personal data we used to deal with was absurd, and the security was almost non-existent. The only account that was prohibited to even look up was Tim Cook’s one. You could be easily fired for that.

Basically, we could see the whole purchase history of any account, bank info, address, phone numbers, etc. and we used to tell the customers crap like “oh, no, I don’t see anything, we cannot identify payments or block/unblock your iphone”, even though we could easily do all that and way more in a few clicks.

Anyway, my NDA is over now, so I guess it’s fine for me to share all this.

You mean don’t kirk-shame?

And mouse controls which seemed like a useless feature, but proved to be a really awesome one!
