TL;DR: No conspiracy - it's (slightly) different movies.
At least for Cars 2 - Australian version (right at the start of video) is literally different from other English versions (around 3:30) - https://youtu.be/SaYmI7xANCg
Many other movies (and especially animated) have different versions with such tweaks so story/jokes still continue to make sense around the world.
Considering it looks like I'm the first one to point this out - it probably never crossed mind of Apple systems engineers that such things might need to be handled. And even if it did - feature probably got bumped by other things that impact bigger % of customers...
Probably because it's same group of people that defined standards like media queries and wrote "best practices" ...
Technically browser would need to report different pixel density or resolution (check what https://www.whatismyscreenresolution.com gives you) to get "desktop looking" site.
Though in reality it's one/same site - so I'm not sure how much would you get with that...
Besides the irony of mobile apps not really offering better/faster experience in most cases.
Also ironically - many companies just buy into "best practices" (hype) without actually checking conversion rate/ROI between the mobile apps, mobile site (non-responsive) and responsive.
At which point we're also probably talking about corporate politics and sinking costs - where I don't find it hard to imagine someone needs to prove investment into apps was not a mistake ...
Though everything I just said is nothing more than my impression looking from the outside.
Place where I work at www.booking.com has both mobile apps and mobile website (request desktop website functionality works). And my general industry impression is based on things I know from most of my time here being in mobile web teams.
I was something like 10 when I had my first business idea - "I'll do library/rentals for comic-books \o/"!!!
My room window was just above neon sign for video/movies rental shop (VHS stuff - where I'm from it was called "Video Klub"). And naturally I used paper, scissors & glue to make my own sign to hang from my window as of course I wanted to "tap into" people looking at VHS-shop neon sign...
And let me tell you - business was doing awesome ... Until one day an older neighbor (like a grandpa) asked my parents what's up with sign hanging from one of our windows saying "Strip Klub"?!? (context: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_strip)
And in the ~25 years since then - I've had plenty of those "not the brightest idea". However over time, most of them these days are good, though almost all are either a bit too late or too early, so I didn't quite yet come up with million bucks idea...
I still keep trying - and it's the combination of knowing two things:
1) The only reason everyone can walk (that is able to physically) is because they kept trying until they did it!
2) On your death bed - only things you'll regret, are the things you wish you tried but didn't ...
While most guides/books on initial setting up sshd explain the usual stuff - e.g.: allow only key auth, no root ...etc.
Changing ssh port from standard (I literally forgot, is it 22?) to something else is one of those things you pick up in the field.
Usually only once you actually had to maintain production servers. And hopefully before some of the fancy things (e.g.: port-knockers) failed and locked you out :)
Changing port is super simple to configure and yet it cuts out 99.9% of noise (if not 100%) from brute-force attempts that otherwise might make you ignore alarms ...
I've recently switched into doing "fit interviews", partially because it started to feel repetitive after 5 years (estimated 700-1000 candidates) of doing technical interviews.
For us fit interviews make sense enough that we started doing them for every candidate, instead of just for ones that passed the technical parts, and I'll try to explain ... Maybe you can see something that could be useful for you.
There's ~1000 people in our IT (and we are hiring - poke me if your interested), 50+ different nationalities, 95% of us are expats, we mostly do Perl code on BackEnd, expect everyone to have good commercial awareness (put ideas on backlog, push back on ProductOwner ...etc) and overall try to have the least bureaucracy/processes as possible.
You can write code, push and roll it out into production within 30ish minutes - with no stamp/approval required (though on call sysadmin will ask you why are you doing it at 6am on a Sunday).
IMHO quite an interesting setup for being majority part of publicly traded group (Nasdaq: PCLN).
Most often you're not interviewed by people you'll work with (interviewers are not from same team).
Fit interviewers focus/check commercial sense/awareness, motivation, flexibility regarding approaching things like tools and technology (we don't introduce new technology unless you can make a good commercial argument for it), follow up on anything raised by recruiters and technical interviewers, and also answer candidates questions.
Indeed most of reasons we would not hire someone are noticed in other parts of interview as well. Besides being the ones who answer the most questions to candidates (besides recruitment) - fit interviews tend to be helpful for cases where everyone else is on the fence.
If someone aced the tech parts - it's extremely rare fit interview is so bad we don't make an offer.
BTW - everything mentioned is my personal interpretation ...
If anyone has specific questions I'll try to answer them.
That's similar to how it was in 90's Yugoslavia during international sanctions.
We didn't have so much crime (definitely no violent stuff like kidnaping), and cellphone was still big grey brick Fox Mulder would pull out of his jacket ... So sharing knowledge you've found bread or milk was spreading slower.
For those asking how come farmers aren't making huge money in such cases - they still need to buy other stuff and that's equally/proportionally expensive.
In case of Yugoslavia, I think pretty much all petrol/gas was smuggled in (because international sanctions) from nearby countries.
Once you consider that mass producing food means you need to power machines (like tractor) and ultimately transport it somehow to consumers ... Imagine how many jerry cans had to be smuggled ...
And IMHO you're mixing cause and effect when you mention state-controlled economies as a cause of this. It mostly fails because (for one reason or another) country is effectively blocked from trading with the rest of the world, and doesn't have enough variety in materials/resources to be on it's own.
Instead of "And IMHO you're mixing cause and effect ..." I meant "And IMHO you're mixing causation and correlation ..." making final paragraph:

If you go into anything with mindset that nothing will change - it's more likely that it will not change.
And if it turns out company is so bad and reacts like you've described - then you at least know you really don't want to be working there anymore.
And when someone in the future asks you "What did you do (to improve/change situation)?" you can say "I tried! I gave it my best - specifically this and that and ..."
Maybe manager says "So it's not just me thinking that", or "I've noticed guys can be pretty hard on you at times. Since you haven't brought it up, I thought you're ok with it"...
I can think of million other things that might or might not happen.
And I know only one way to really find out - try and see. Are there other ways?
Suppose the manager has those reactions. What then? They'll sit down with the team and have the "don't be mean" talk? I'm just not sure I see that working well. That seems more likely to breed resentment even if it resolves the superficial "combative" behavior.
I'd probably try talking to the individual team members 1:1. As uncomfortable as that would be, I think it is a better bet than having it come from the manager.
Good point. If I am as mature an adult as I believe myself to be, I ought to be able to have a peaceful conversation about this with a couple of coworkers individually. Definitely would be better than putting them on the defensive by sending a manager after them.
